I really want to like this app but it's clunky and needs a lot of polish. It should be MUCH easier to access and get rolling on the watch than it is. I have to click 4 things before I'm able to start chatting. Also, it would be beneficial if there was a "notify tone" that could be enabled... For example, my wife and I use this to communicate while I'm at work and it would be nice to have a notification tone that I can enable for when I am in a meeting. Also, it would be awesome if I could map the talk button to one of the physical buttons on the watch itself. It should be much easier to open and start a conversation than it is right now. Actual walkie talkies are easier and more efficient to use than this app right now. Hopefully, this can be updated in the future. Look forward to it. :)

My wife & I have had good success with the app working. We use the double press quick launch to start the app when we need it or hear a message so we can respond. Only issue we've run into and would like some help with is.. that the "walkie talkie" turns OFF. How do we keep it "ON" so that in case either one of us wants to reach the other, we can?

Ideally it would have a tile and easier access. there are often issues connecting, and it feels like a beta. It needs work, but when it works, it's great! The notification sucks, it's useless, and really serves no purpose. move the option to be in walkie talkie mode to the settings swipe down menu, and give it a live tile. once those are one it'll be a much more useful app!
