ListenApp

LISTENAPP IS A MOBILE APP WHOSE PURPOSE IS TO IMPROVE DAILY COMMUNICATIONS BETWEEN ANYONE.

Calling is too old fashion for this advanced social world and sometimes texting just doesn’t get the job done well enough. ListenApp is essentially a walkie-talkie that a user can install on their phone. It allows for simple quick direct voice messages which make it much shorter than a call and much quicker than a text. It will run on my server making it internationally available. The main feature which makes it different than texting and even Yo or Whatsapp is that it is all immediate; when a voice message is sent, the receiver’s phone will automatically vibrate, show a notification and play the message out loud. If it isn’t convenient for you to receive voice notes, it can be adjusted with the default phone volume. This means that if the phone is on silent, the voice will be diminished while still receiving the notification and vibration to alert you that someone sent a voice note.
