InstantTalk App Reviews

Works over wifi, wont connect (iPhone 5c & iPhone 6+) over Bluetooth. Shame, but useless for motorcycle intercom without this feature working.

Works pretty good on bluetooth and wifi (except for too much echo) BUT on wifi you are required an Internet connection, not just the wifi on as I hoped.

I was looking for an app that would allow me to talk freely to my buddys without having to push a button while riding my quads and thats what I got. Helmet comunication systems cost a lot and this does the exact same thing for a lot less. Perfect app for what I wanted to do. Thanks!

it worked sorta, but there was voice quality issues and it was unreliable for our business use.

I first bought the other app that is made by Black Magma Inc, who don’t seem to exist anymore, and it did not auto reconnect if the connection was interrupted by a call or walking out of range of the other device. So then I discovered that they made this almost identical app, but that this app has included in the description that it will auto reconnect with the other device if it is disconnected by a call or something. I immediately tested the truthfulness of this claim, and found that it is not possible to reconnect unless both devices are unlocked and have the app in the foreground. This is impractical for the purposed use of this app - that of using while driving a motorcycle. Both riders will have their phones locked and stowed in their packs or pockets! It is not stated in the description that you need to have both devices unlocked and the app in the foreground. Also I have experienced instability of the app in reconnecting after being interrupted by a phone call, it will say it is reconnected, but no audio is transmitted between the devices. The app needs to be fully shut down from multitasking bar, then reopened before it will reconnect and function properly. Therefore I give it 1 star, because it is identical in every way to the other app I have already paid for. They even interconnect with each other, I can have this app open, and then open MotoChat on the other device, and they will connect and work together, meaning that the only difference between these two apps is the name and icon, but in every other way they are the same app, if you buy both hoping for one to be better or to live up to it’s claims, you will just be paying twice for the same funky piece of software.

Works great except I hear my echo, but I can live with that.

My wife and I got this app to talk while riding our ATVs. We can connect at home, but when were out on the trail it doesnt work. We finally figured out why. Once your out of range of service the iPhones will not connect. We simulated this by turning off our cellular data while we are at home and the iPhone were connected. Great concept, horrible execution.
