Introducing Roger, an accessible walkie-talkie style messaging app for iOS

I've already suggested this to the des. We'll see what happens. a toggle is a good idea, possiblely in your long press or in your settings.

I' liking it so far. I used it a few days ago to announce the update to some of my contacts. We'll see if the issues we had with the battery have been fixed.

Thanks for such a wonderful app.

Yes I believe it has fixed the battery issues. More testing is needed on my part. Did I accidently send that to you guys as well? If so, oops? So sorry about that.

Hello, Sometimes messages that I have already heard will play again. Is there any way to stop this, so I don't have to hear messages that I have already heard? This happens in a group of people that I talk to. If this can't be done now, I hope you will fix this issue in a future release. Thank you.

The devs know about the problem, but as of last speaking to them about said issue they are unsure as to why it happens. Basically for some reason the messages are beeing pushed from the server twice.

Actually I hear the ring about 50 percent of the time. It's there, you just have to listen for it. I think if there are multiple messages then the ring happens otherwise not.

Hello,
Firstly, I've just started using Roger, thank you for making this app so Voiceover Accessible and fun to use! Not sure if this has been said already, or if I've just not seen it, but when talking with one person and unother person talks, I'm not really seeing their messages come in until I exit the app, and see that it has one new item. If I'm talking to X, and Y sends a message, while I'm talking to X, I'll have no idea that Y send a message until I exit the app. Could their be a new sound, or vibration that happens when Y talks? Maybe its alreayd there, but I've just not seen it.
Thank so much all.

Hmm mine vibrates when y talks. Maybe this is a bug? I got rid of the badges so I just look at the bottom of the app to see what's new. By the way my roger link is http://rogertalk.com/ke7zum

Blessings.

Hi,
No, I'm not getting any vibration when unother person starts talking while I'm listenning to a message already. I'm out a lot and don't listen to my messages on the loudspeaker very much. Could this be why? Also, when someone is talking in the same chat as me and I press the listen button, what does the ringing sound mean?
Thanks.

Someone buzzed me last night and now I'm curious, how do you go about buzzing someone using voiceover?

Buzzing is kind of like sending someone a nudge, like the old msn messenger use to do.

Zello also has this feature, only they just call it alerts.

You need to wait until you get a notification that x has not listened yet. Then you swipe down for options on that notification in your notifications center. One of them will be to buzz someone.

Hth a bit.

Hi,
I did feel a vibration today. It happened while I was listenning to a message. Does a vibration happen while I'm recording too? Perhaps I've just had bad luck and people keep sending me messages while I'm recording so I don't know about them until I exit Roger.Thanks so much for everyones helpfulness.

I don't see an option to buzz someone, it's just snooze and the default.

It will happen while you are listening and recording, at least it does for me.

Feel free to hit me up on roger. My username is the same as on here.

Take care all.

Hi all:
If people want to say hi to me, please feel free. I'm johnl1129 on roger. Just let me know you found me from apples.

hi there all, I don't know what is going on but I installed roger on my iPad and I am having an issue that when I listen to a post on the iPad it won't clear.

Thanks, it never occurred to me to do a split tap 3 times, works perfectly.

I didn't actually know you could do that. So you tripple tap on the person you want to buzz? What then happens on the person you buzzed end, if that even makes sence lol!

Buzzing someone is like giving them a virtual tap or nudge.

It shows up as a notification when not in the app.

When you're in the app it just vibrates.

It's really to just grab someone's attention, like when you see that person hasn't listened to your message yet.

To buzz someone when voiceover is on, you'll need to do a split tap on that user's name 3 times.

I'm not sure if this is a bug or if voiceover loses focus when you share a profile and try to add to notes.

I'm not sure what happens, but voiceover seems to be focused on the status bar and there doesn't appear to be a way of getting out of that screen.

Recalibrating the phone appears to fix the issue, but the profile you're trying to add to notes doesn't appear to work or I'm doing it wrong.

When you go to share a profile and add to notes nothing happens.

Hello,

How do you create groups in Roger? I can only talk to individual people.

To create a group select the contacts you want to talk to after tapping broadcast then add contact. Then click start. That's about it. If you need to add or remove someone you need to recreate the group.

Take care.

I posted this in the app thread as well but here in case this might get more conversation going.

I'm not actually seeing an add contacts thing anywhere. Plus my name shows up twice. I hear the greeting I set up last week. I also see my name at the very beginning of the list. I love the rewind feature though it works grate and pausing is also wonderful as well. Is there a way to maybe add the possibility of skipping back through the messages of a contact over the past 48 hours? Not a deal breaker but yeah that should be next in the work flow, plus forwarding through messages let's say if you need to.

Loving the app. Keep it up.

Really? You can search for contacts? I don't see the add button anyware and I updated this morning. How odd? Maybe it will just fix itself at some point. Lol!

Searching for users is now tucked away under the what use to be the broadcast button.

Now it just says your name.

You tap on your name, then tap on the mic button, instead of recording, the contacts screen comes up.

It's a strange way of doing things, but there you have it.

Yeah I found that out, but now the broadcast feature is missing unless that's also hidden. I'm patient, but I guess I've ben spoiled. Lol! I love that broadcast feature. I've used it to get announcements out to some of my podcast listeners who follow me on roger.

Hi all,
I'm loving the new voice plantform? Dropbox? Awesome! Facebook and twitter? Even better!
One question though. How do I get Amazon alexa to work with roger? Wonce I enter my email and password on the sign in page that roger brings up, I get the same page, but with a prompt to enter a captcha. I can't really use captchas on my iPhone, so is there a way of activating roger and alexa from my computer?
Thanks all.

I didn't get the cpatcha. I just signed in, excepted the agreement and went. How odd. Also I can't get the who do you want to talk to thing to go away. I kind of don't want to see that all the time. It just showed upout of the blue today. Lol!

Yes, I am. I didn't see that there until this morning. I was a bit confused. I have another question but I'll post it separately to avoid confusion.

Thanks.

Hello there, how do you use the web code when you go to settings then add accounts? That message is a bit unclear to me. Anyone know the answer to this?

Thanks.
