About this app

Your phone is the radio.

HiwaRadio turns the phones your team already carries into push-to-talk radios. Pick a channel, hold the button, talk. Everyone on that channel hears you straight away.

One person talks at a time, the way a radio should work. While someone is speaking, everyone else sees who it is. When they let go, the channel is free again.

WHAT IT DOES
• Hold to talk, let go to listen
• See who is on the channel, and who is online right now
• Switch channels in one tap
• Call someone one to one, when the whole channel does not need to hear it
• Works on wifi or mobile data, anywhere you have signal

WHO IT IS FOR
Depots, warehouses, building sites, events, delivery drivers, security teams, hotels, shops. Anywhere people work with their hands full and need to reach each other fast.

NO RADIOS TO BUY
No handsets, no licences, no range to worry about. If the phone has signal, you are on the channel. Add someone new and they are talking in a minute.

Hardware push-to-talk (optional): HiwaRadio uses Android's AccessibilityService API only to detect a long press on the one physical button you choose, so you can talk on a channel while the app is in the background. The service reacts to that button only while you are connected to a channel. It cannot read your screen, receives no accessibility events, and does not collect, store or share any personal or sensitive data. It is off until you turn it on from Settings › Hardware PTT, and you can turn it off at any time in Android Settings › Accessibility.
