TELUS Link™ for Android
Will force quit 90 percent of other apps while in use and just switch to Telus link. Unreliable and spastic
This app starts up every time I turn on my phone, but seems to fail at doing anything other than slowing things down. I don't know why Telus force-installs this bloatware garbage.
The alert key will not work to call contacts on the telus link app. The volume up and down buttons will work but not the camera key/alert button. Started happening after the most recent update occurred. Had buttons replaced on phone, no change. Staff believe to be a software issue in the app. Needs to be fixed!
The app seems to sporadically decide to "Alert" other people when the phone isn't even being used. Also interrupts messaging apps by popping up in the midst of typing a text message. Recently I uninstalled to re-install it thinking i might fix something with it only to find out now my S6 Edge cannot install it because it is not compatible...yet it is explicitly listed in the release notes. Until this app is fixed, my opinion is Telus really screwed up by shutting down the iDEN/Mike network. Also, I have attempted to contact the development team via the email address included in the Google Play Store.....and guess what, it bounced.
There is lots of free apps you can get that do a hell of a lot better. And it will stay on no matter what you do... It drains batt and you can barley hear the other people when they want to talk
I was totally happy updating my Telus Link app until it forced the SOS/911 Button on my Sonim XP7 to a Telus Link shortcut and also took away one of my programmable (PTT/black) buttons for Telus Link as well and made it no longer programmable. I deleted all updates until this is remedied.
This is just more bloatware by Telus that I can't get off my phone
I want this off my phone completely and there is no way to do so. This should be an option whether we want this app or not
I'm so happy
This Telus ptt SUCKED!?
Try it

Forced to upgrade 7 MIKE phones because of Telus getting rid of the MIKE network. This new "feature" is just not cutting it. Kept going to "Do Not Disturb" during phone calls but wouldn't switch back to available. Had to log out then back in. Called this morning tech guy says they did update to fix that on Monday so uninstall then reinstall it since phone kept saying no update available. So I did and it fixed but now 12 hours later its doing it again. Screen also randomly pops up still!

Getting better. It seriously needs a proper queuing option instead of booting you out of a conversation when someone alerts you.
Terrible. I'm sorry but I have nothing positive to say about Telus Link. I switched over two phones from the MIKE network to Link and it's a huge disappointment.
Keeps going in to do not disturb mode after every phone call. You have to manually put it back to available or PTT won't work. This app FAILS in EVERY way. PTT calls are choppy at best. There are very few settings. The app is dated, I MISS MY OLD MIKE PHONE. I'VE BASICALLY SWITCHED OVER TO MAKING PHONE CALLS. Telus are you reading the comments, this is unacceptable for a service. Why would anyone pay for a service that doesn't work.
Whenever u make a phone call it puts me into do not disturb but never sets me to online after the call. Crashes constantly on lollipop.
Junk, hate everything about telus
Sorry to see the Mike go, but with changes you gotta move on. Our business was one of the guinea pigs testing this service out for the last year. Things are far better than they were February 2014, but still quirks. You're welcome!
The latest update just got worse. Can't see contacts at bottom of screen because the gradient used is the same as the contacts font color. Seriously?
Pure garbage link never work was better off with off prior phone
When I play music on Bluetooth, it blocks everything and Bluetooth goes off
Volume isn't very loud. Working in a noisy environment and I can barely hear my guys.
Always pops open for no reason, when I open other apps. Hate the constant icon on the notification bar, cannot turn it off. Volume too quiet.
Works great
Why is everything Telus such crap?
Trying to use this app with a mobile business. Need to be able to communicate with employees. Signs out constantly. Lets you talk to someone but they hear nothing. Cuts off wireless headset everytime used. Use ptt and then have to tell phone after you take a call to use the headset even though pgone thinks it is. Kind of defeats the whole handsfree driving idea
There is lots of free apps you can get that do a hell of a lot better. And it will stay on no matter what you do... It drains batt and you can barley hear the other people when they want to talk
Very quick PTT service over LTE
Nice and easy to use. Download and see.... Enjoy:)
I tested Link on my Samsung galaxy s4 and on iPhone. It is awesome!!
Was looking for PTT that works on my Samsung and this totally delivers. Fast, simple and effective walkie talkie replacement.

Really sucks. New version keeps alarm icon in your status bar on all the time. I tried out nova talk on Rogers Network, they gave me a free trial. Looks like I will be bringing all our business to Rogers. Nova talk is light years ahead of this.
