App is cool. Use it for work. As of recently the adjust users volume does nothing. Also this app is constantly popping back up over my other apps even when there is no transmission going on. Also when a transmission is received it should lower the volume of other apps playing. I have to pause my podcast Everytime to relisten to a message. Make it work like Google maps. I'll change rating when these issues are fixed.

I have tried this app on several devices and it works fine. HOWEVER, on the Samsung galaxy S21 the transmit audio is extremely low.. I tested this theory on 2 separate S21 phones and it seems it is only doing it with the S21. I have adjusted the record volume to try and boost my mic audio and it isn't working. It just makes it sound equally low. Can we find a solution to this issue as it is making it extremely difficult for me to dispatch my emergency units.

Keeps changing status to BUSY on its own. I have it installed on my kids devices too, when we try to contact, its always busy. And we NEED ALWAYS be Available. So if i cant contact them real-time, & vice versa, then NVM with this. I ACTUALLY STOPPED to write a review bc it bothers me so. So much has changed and its ANNOYING. Auto-changing my settings is not helpful. No setting to disengage. Currently considering an alternative. Anyhoo, Zello was popping in 2014 tho. Good times. Good times. Iykyk
