Description

HeyTell® is a cross-platform voice messenger that allows you to instantly talk with friends and family. No account needed—just start the app, choose a contact, and push the button to start talking!

- Send and receive voice messages with other HeyTell users with the press of a single button

- Voice messages are quicker than SMS—and free!

- Very low data usage, no more than sending an email

- PUSH NOTIFICATIONS alert you whenever a voice message is received and the app is closed

- NEW: Apple Watch support for sending texts through HeyTell

* TIP: If you did not enable Pushes on initial install, open the Apple Settings app, select Notifications, ensure it's set to On, select HeyTell, and ensure that Badges and Alerts are both set to On.

- Works on any Internet connection

- Superior audio quality: At 16 kHz, HeyTell delivers twice the frequency range of a cell phone call

- Favorites: Favorite and export messages you like to email or Facebook!

- Export messages you record to Facebook, Twitter, Email, and more!

- Extras: Use the in-app purchase function to set alert tones, send messages to groups, change your voice, automatically expire and batch-delete messages, and add emojis to your name!

- Quickly friend, unfriend, or block contacts. Adding contacts as friends ensures that you can always quickly find them by tapping the To: field and tapping "Friends."

- Choose from three different privacy levels to control how users can contact you without an invite:

+ Low Privacy: Anyone who knows your contact information can connect with you without an invite.

+ Medium Privacy: Anyone who knows your contact information and is friends with one of your HeyTell friends can connect with you. Otherwise, they must invite you to connect.

+ High Privacy: No one can connect with you until you accept their invitation.

NOTE: Carriers may charge you & your recipient for SMS invites, but email invites & Low privacy direct connections should be free.

- If you want to, share your location with selected contacts while you talk

* TIP: To send your location information to a contact, you must have the Maps page open (tap the Target button) when you send the HeyTell message. For privacy reasons, HeyTell does not send your location unless you approve by sending messages with Maps open.

- Conversations can be saved and replayed offline, or deleted on-demand

* TIP: Swipe left or right on the conversation and click the DELETE button to delete messages.

- All data and audio you transmit to HeyTell and your friends is encrypted in transit

- Earpiece and speakerphone functionality: Press the SPEAKER button to toggle earpiece vs. speakerphone mode (If you find earpiece sound is too low, enable the speaker)

- Supports iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch devices (2G and 3G iPod Touches require external microphone)

- You do not need to share personal information to connect with HeyTell contacts. See https://heytell.com/privacy and https://heytell.com/faq for more information about connecting without sharing phone numbers or email addresses!

Use HeyTell as a walkie talkie, intercom, or instant voice messaging system to send quick voice messages to friends and family with iPhones or iPods. Use the integrated geolocation feature to find your friends when they've given you bad directions and you're just around the corner!

Awesome. Makes talkin with pals so much fun.

We love it. My group of pals are spread across the country and are in our late 30s and early 40s. We stay in touch almost exclusively thru Heytell (in chipmunk voices). We all wish that a setting could be enabled so that we could capture and keep our favorite heytells of each other to save or send to others. It may be a privacy issue, but surely it can be made to be adjusted so that the message creator can allow his or her messages to be shared by others. It also crashes constantly on the iPhone now. Can we get help with our favorite app please? We use it all the time and don't mind paying! I'd pictures could be sent it would be awesome. My group toggles back and forth from Heytell to FB messenger to get the features of both. Thanks for the great APP! Please fix the crashes on iOS?!

Convenient conversation

Two of my brothers and I stay in touch and catch up with what’s going on by using HeyTell. Better than texting because we hear each other’s voice, and better than making a phone call, as we can receive a voice message at any time and respond when the time is right for the sender and receiver. Reliable and easy to use.

Good, needs work

He app itself functions well for me, i wish it blocked text notifications while recording though. Thats annoying as can be.

The major issue, what you brings you down more then a star for me is the notification menu. You have a close button and an options button. If you hit close, okay its done. But you hit options and you hit open or listen and it opens the app and then theres a close button again. This is a ridiculous design. Why not just have an open and close button. No options needed? The only reason to have options is if you can actually listen right from the notification and not open the app.

This update did NOT fix the notification/options issue
