I like ducks.,
Not great but could be.
First, the good: pairing is easy and the app is pretty self explanatory. I love that that settings for the radio can be configured from the app and then populated to other radios via the "leader/member" feature.
I tested the messaging features using two iPhones and two radios and it works pretty well.
Now the bad: the app will allow you to attach a selfie or chosen avatar to your profile just like any other chat/messaging app and you can choose your own profile name...but that data doesn't seem to go anywhere. The natural assumption would be that your avatar and name would automatically propagate to other members in your group if your phone has data (cellular/wifi, etc) when you add them but none of that happens. You still have to manually enter their names when adding members to your group, and take photos (or choose them from your photo stream). So what's the point of adding your own photo to your profile? Nothing, it seems.
Also, the downloading of offline maps is terribly slow, even when connected to wifi. I'll concede that "beggars can't be choosers," and [so far] Motorola seems to be offering these maps for free where other apps might require a subscription fee. But it is surprisingly slow.
I'll say that the pros outweigh the cons but I hope Motorola will continue to support and develop this app because it still needs some work.

Kenjoe good app,
Taco Bell app not working on my iPhone
I recently purchased the Talkabout Motorola 800 and I downloaded the app Talkabout on my iPhone running 16.2 and unfortunately when I try to I said license agreement is disabled can somebody give me tips how can I put this app to work on my iPhone so that I would be able to pair the Bluetooth
Bobbo929,
Useless offline maps!
With an active data connection, this app and the t800s work great. Unfortunately, most of the time I want to use these where there is no cell signal. In this case, the poor support for offline maps makes them nearly useless. The maps download incredibly slowly, even on a very fast Wi-Fi connection (so slowly that you really need to know where you are going to be within a few miles well beforehand) and then even after they download, they may not display when you are in the field because the app is very buggy. Without the map overlay, all you get is “the other person is in that direction… maybe”. If these issues were fixed, I would buy a dozen of these radios!
Msndndhrh,
Exactly what you expected
People continue to say they are unable to pair the two way radio, though it connected instantaneously. Controls are able to be changed very quickly through the app, and there are some other fun extra features as well. Speaking this is the first if not one of the first radios to be able to have this feature, it’s really good.
John.YQ,
App has been improved over the years
Some reviews talked about the slow map downloading which has seemed to be fixed, my offline maps were downloaded pretty fast. The pairing was also super fast. Couldn’t wait to test this in the wild.
denis.lagno,
Catastrophic battery drain
My feedback is not about usage of the app and the radio. But instead about non-usage.
I never opened talkabout app in the last few months. Yet it drained battery on my iPhone just in a few hours. Yes, according to battery stats background activity of talkabout app was responsible for 80% of battery drain while staying dormant

Kctwoykn,
Great features but needs more flexibility and functions.
1) In Shout all 4 predefined messages should be editable.
2) In Shout My Tracks should be available.
3) In Shout Offline Maps should be available.
4) In Shout you should be able to change the ID Name to Profile Name.
5) Inability to turn off Dual Watch in Radio Settings.
6) In Maps when saving Pins, GPS coordinates should be automatically part of the label.
7) In Shout you should be able to individual delete messages. Not just the whole conversation.

Pairing
If you’re trying to pair remember to turn on bluetooth through the radio settings
Sympoyp,
Maps don’t work at all
On both the iPhone app and running the app on Mac, maps won’t load in the slightest with a high speed Wi-Fi connection. The loading bar just keeps spinning and spinning. This is the primary reason I bought these radios and it’s false advertising to claim offline maps as a feature of the radio/app when it obviously doesn’t work.
s-m-t,
No maps
Just bought 4 of these for an upcoming trip. Huge disappointment that the map download does not work. Just get a spinning gear. That is the main value add of this type of app and the T800 series. Probably better to get fully waterproof radios than waste your time trying to get this app to work.
