Ratings and reviews

I love the app, but it's gotten bad. Whoever is making updates needs to be fired asap! It's glitching my phone.. I almost overslept and missed my alarm because the alarm wasn't ringing(smart watch woke me up..)because of zello. For some reason, the app keeps disabling my phones speaker... How do I know? I force stop the app, and suddenly, my alarm and sound work.. Not to mention all the Bluetooth and connectivity problems. This thing has developed over the past 3 months. Please fix this..

I've would pay (once, no subscription) for a version that doesn't have constant issues. But for the last few years I have often had to exit zello, or turn on and off airplane mode just to get messages to send -with several different phones over the years. And now, within the last month or so, zello completely disconnects after probably 30 seconds of my phone being locked, so I miss messages. Support doesn't respond to emails. Makes me very hesitant ever to spend on this app.

Really was enjoying this app, with my wife, until it stopped connecting. It keeps us both in standby, or offline, regardless of changing our status manually. Even when it said available on our ends, it still shows the other offline or in standby. Unless we force quit and restart, it just won't reconnect either one of us. Even then, it doesn't always work. If it's a setting, we can't figure out which one. I don't think it is, because we reset to factory settings, and it still does it. Too bad.

What's new

In this release we improved handling of connection interruptions, addressed compatibility issues with other VoIP apps, improved context menus, and added support for Telox TE320.
