I use this app for EMS and Fire dispatch. it works most of the time, and then goes down for days or weeks. You also don't have a choice in hearing activity on this app. You can either hear things live, or get an audible notification that there is radio traffic. You cannot mute notifications when set to busy, and the busy notification recently went from a subtle quiet chirp to a loud, prolonged ring. I even set notification volume to 0, and still get pinged to death.

Recently the automatic volume feature doesn't work. After ten minutes of no activity, the volume of your next incoming call is supposed to go back up to the level you set, which I chose 100. It was working but now it is not. Now I can miss a call because I lowered my media volume in another app. My phone, the version of android, and Zello version are all up to date. Any ideas? 5 stars for a fix.

I love this app for a variety of reasons. 1. It works like a walkie talkie, but with completely unlimited range. 2. you can exit the app so that you don't receive messages. (this is GREAT especially if you are off the clock. ) 3. it records all of the messages. this is great when you work with the " i didn't say that" guy. you can LITERALLY hit a button and prove them wrong. (beware! if you say "i wanna bang the bosses daughter " someone else can hit a button and take your job!)
