I find it a great app, I use Life360 for added security. I find that this app would be best paired with it. However, I can't seem to add friends and family thru an invite to this app unless they have an account with this app. Can I just share an invite thru regular text or Facebook Messenger? That'd be great if the app would link to other user software in which the app is installed. I've found cab companies that used this app, and it worked great for them!

[edit 2] The bug is still here, only worse. The zello mic button just stops working altogether the second you use your phone as a phone. You stop receiving any messages too so if somebody even calls you, zello gets disabled. [edit] I take it back, it still blocks the microphone whenever you call someone or vice versa. It might be caused by some new system that prevents broadcasting while on the phone, because it used to be possible until a recent update, when this bug has also been introduced.

use it for a farm ch, we integrated into the fire disp now all first responders in the area are on it seems to work very well the only real difference is if you dont have data on it wont go threw and you wouldn't use it in a fire but on medical calls, traffic control, search teams stuff like that definitely. plus as a volunteer I dont always carry my radio with me were if on my cell and something like a medical situation comes up I can have direct contact with our disp directly
