Oh my god I think that might have been my husband cos he was on night duty yesterday while I was at work. did you have a male voice say “hi how do you know about this room”. he was under strict instructions not to trust anyone in that was not a part of pd so he have to ask everybody who they were and how they knew about the room, otherwise he would bounce them out of the room. Im sorry you went through that though. add me and ill help my name is lavly on there.
im going to be in there as much as i can at the start to get ppl trusted in but i started the room with Turbowheeler so he will help when im asleep. the only thing is that he is a Music Festival and can help today. i will be at work but im trying to rope my huby to help while im there. after we have a few members we can set better times to know when ppl can make it.

Let me know when there are more than 50 people that joined. For now I am out. We have a shoutbox down here a the bottom of the page which nobody uses. So it’s hard for me to understand that people would use that messenger.

Ok, I joined, then got busy and then closed the app. So forgot about it, and was with my kids when a voice started talking to me. Seriously freaked me out. I opened my phone and ALL the apps were closed. Then I figured out that it was the zello app and I freaked out and signed out. I don't know who was talking..(sorry for hanging up).. but that is very wierd!!! I didnt enjoy my phone talking to me when it isn't supposed to. So I will try again, I guess you have to sign out or the phone will randomly talk to you, and being a mom, that isn't so cool. Can you imagine me walking down the hallway at school and my phone randomly starts talking about who knows what the latest topic is.😱😊☺😶 DAMN MACHINES ALWAYS CAUSING TROUBLE, WHERE'S MY PEN, I'M WRITING A LETTER! Ok, serious Dave is here now, or as serious as I can manage. In the app there is a power button, (on the upper right, I believe. Not to be confused with the camera button on the left) press that and you are disconnected from the group. No one can hear you unless you are holding down the microphone button, and then release it to hear everyone else. Zello is cool because you can actually talk to the people in the group. It also would be great for people that can't type very easily. A few of us tried it this morning and it was a lot of fun. We didn't share pictures or use the live camera feature, but I think it's only a matter of time before things get pretty crazy. I hope to talk to you on Zello very soon!

Tried joining but as others mentioned I didn’t particularly like the audio element for privacy reasons.
I do absolutely think there is room for a real-time messaging platform for our group, but I think something like Skype or WhatsApp or Kik is the best option. I’d even be down for just a texting group or Facebook messanger but I understand people aren’t always comfortable sharing that level of identity.

I found if you simply close the app you no longer get audio notifications. They only play when you haven’t closed the app.

We have a shoutbox down here a the bottom of the page which nobody uses. So it’s hard for me to understand that people would use that messenger. hello feelsunshine. So the way zello works is that its like a walky talky with an option of texting as well. But it happens in real time so if you don't want to be speaking you don't have to if you want to be texting you can but if you're like me and dyslexia is a thing then speaking is a lot more liberateing. The way app works is that you get on When you're in the mood to chat and if people are on there you have a chat but if there's no one on there you can't leave a message so there's still room for the shout thing at the bottom. As you can appreciate conversations in real time happen more fluently and faster. it's a little bit hard to explain unless you've used the app. It's very anonymous because you don't need to put any personal information on there and it is not connected to your mobile. when you're not in the mood to chat or hear someone talk in the background you turn the out off. It's far more private than an app like WhatsApp Facebook and even kik. I'm going to make how to diagram soon for people that might be struggling.

aslo dave is right that you can turn the channal off but ppl can still pm you if they are on your friends list. so what i sagest is turning the app off complitly! and turning it on when you have time to talk.
there is more then a few of us now... so you might want to make friends with uses and have privet chats as well as the channall chat convo.
