knowing your app (part 15) downloading and listening to your messages

I may have not gone through sending a new message just yet, but it will come soon. For now we will focus on downloading and playing receieved messages. This is because you may add me and I will send you a message immediately. Like I explained in earlier posts, feel free to send me a friend request on the app. My user name is "keshjacobs". downloading a message is very easy. On the timeline page/screen all the = information are clear and easy to understand. names/usernames of app users will appear here as well as indications for opened, unopened or deleted messages (more info in the "timeline page/screen") above. At the moment, receieved message will have an arrow facing the left. To download the message tap on the name/username bar. the message should begin downloading at that point, and a message saying "downloading" should appear immediately, if any other thing appears, please tap on it again. After downloading the message should change to "ready to play" tap on it to play the message. You would be able to play the message as many times as you want under 24 hours and the message underneath the Name/username should say "receieved" and the smiley besisdes the image would change. love and share the experience to the world. The instruction might look long as you read this post, but it is really easy to understand. I can very much assure you that you would be a pro in the first few seconds.

notice the smileys arrows and the texts in the picture below.

Knowing your app (part 14). Why did you choose that app logo?

How to create a good app logo.

Well to answer that question, i'll first like you to know that THE BIRD IS THE WORD and everybody knows that. Peter Griffin from Family Guy knows that and he's telling everyone here. The logo if you don't already know is a Parrot. A RED parot with a GREEN beak. As we all know a parrot sometimes does a lot of talking. It is sometimes known for imitating as we can also see here. It is one of the few, if not only creature asides man that can repeat human words. Since my app is for voice messages only, it felt like a cool creature to include in my app logo. Now people may ask then why did I chose the colours red and green for the parrot. Traffic lights have three colours however I only need two to pass the message. RED on the traffic light means STOP, and green means "GO" except the rules apply differently in some areas. However, in the arear i'm from and live and in many others i'm aware of, Red in the traffic light means Stop while Green means Go. No how does that relate to my app? My app is for sending and recieving voice messages only and everything about the app evolves arounf that distinct function. No texting feature in the app whatsoever. The part of our body we use to text is our hands but the part of our body we use to talk is our mouth. So with that in mind the decesion was to paint every part of the bird REd and the beak RED which signifies do not communicate or text with the rest of your body but do that with your mouth. Don't text, Just Talk. it is always wise to think deeply before creating an ap logo, try to make it related to the function of your app as much as possible. In my case I was lucky to have my brother do the thinking and designing of the app. He chose the colours and never drew meaning out of it but drew meaning out of the creature (THE BIRD) as he did relate the bird to the app's function. The colours where a product of my mother (speak about a wonderful team). My mother was the one who drew meaning out of the colours. It made so much sense we decided to stick with it and thats why we have that as the app logo today.

Now what is to come: I think I may have discovered the best ways to make perfect and more interesting voice filters. voice filters that will have wonderful bacground sounds to really make your voice sync perfectly and create a more appealing experience.

Knowing your app (part 11). News: notifications

For those who already know what the app is about, my sincere apologies for flooding you things you already know. For new readers I have had to write the description of Just Talk - DTJT over and over again at the start of every post. Sadly I can't get tired of doing that and it makes new readers happy. however I have found a way to make all of us happy 😊 as every reader matters. A breif discription of the app is located just at the top of the app page, so I can always direct readers there. So they can read both this and that at the same time. Here we go for this one. A breif description of the app can be seen if you click here. There we go, two birds with one stone.

Now to the matter at hand. its been almost two weeks since the last update was realeased (13th of february 2017). yes I did say there would be new updates every month but i've manged to bring two in one month so far. seems like we may be getting another one very soon. perhaps in a couple of hours or days 😊. This early and new update would include a new voice filter, Bug fixes and notifiction fixtures. For many of our daily users, you would notice you haven't been getting notifications for your messages. This is because they are currently getting improved. In the past your notification badge said you received 7 messages (you get one notification on the notification bar but the badge said different) meanwhile, all you got was one or two or more. That currently getting fixed. All shall be as normal and better with new update. At the moment you will not get notifications for your messages (sincere Apologies for that) but, all shall be resumed shortly with an update (version 1.3).

what to expect in extended future updates: profile podcasts (some may call it profile messages, story or just podcasts).

Knowing you app (part 9) back to the app screens/pages

As its a tradition to always describe the app at the start of the post, i shall be doing it again here (It gives my new users a better undertsnading about the app). Just Talk - DTJT is a  bespoke app for sending only voice messages and uses voice filters to change how you sound. It is available for free on the app store and would also be available for FREE on the google play store soon. unlike other apps, users can listen to their messages (audio messages) as many times as they please but after 24 hours they will be automatically deleted. This would also be regardless of them being opened or unopened. So if you send someone a message and they do not open it after 24 hours the message would be taken of the server and they would no longer have access to the message. New APP, additional features would be included monthly.
FREE on Itunes: https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/just-talk-dtjt/id1155818503?mt=8


Last time we read about the app screens/pages we read about the ways to know what a sent/recieved message looked like, what an unopened message looks like within 24 hours, what an unoppened messages looked like after 24 hours and lastly, what an opened message looks like before and after 24 hours. As we all know at this point users can only send voice mesages to people who already use the app, As it is a messanger, it requires you to have contacts on it. you would need to send friend requests or accept friend requests (i'm happy to be your first contact, add me "keshjacobs" is my username on the app). I'm convinced you already have friends on it and you can convince new once to join you in the most innovative app just yet. in future blogs, we would learn how to add new contacts, create new messages and send new messages (although this is already availble in the app's short walkthrough tutotrial). Now, how do you listen to message that has been sent to you? Just like most apps, this app also uses push notifications. when you recieve a new message, you would get a notification saying "new audio file recieved". Click on the notification to open the app or just open the app from the app icon. The usenrmam of the sender should appear at the top of all your message or at the top of your screen with the unpened message smiley (click to find out more about the smileys in the app and what they indicate) and an arrow pointing to the left. The left arrow signifies recieved message while the right arrow signifies sent message. there should also be a short small text that says "tap to download". Tap to and wait while message downloads and when the message says "ready to play" tap again to listen to your message. However if you do not see the message, then swip down on the timeline screen to refresh the page and view the new message. Remember, you can listen to your messages as many times as you please within 24 hours from when the message was sent. Also note that all messages would be deleted automatically after 24 hours from when they were sent even if you have not opened them.

Knowing you app (part 7)

What is "Just Talk" ?. Just Talk is a messaging app for sending voice messages only with Voice filters to change how you sound. Messages sent or received are deleted after 24 hours regardless of whether they've been opened or not. It's fun and simple, just sign up (short and simple) then add your friends on it and start messaging (no friends yet, how about adding me). 32 new voice filters projected to be added this year. along with many other cool features. Things to Note are, the App is completely FREE, available on IOS only and coming soon to androids. Remember it's voice messaging ONLY so, there's no texting feature in the app. It's a straight up VoiceNote app. Don't text, Just Talk.

Today's post will be a little bit different because I will be posting Just a little about me. This is because I am part of the app. I went from someone who had No knowledge about coding to someone who created an ultimate app. Well one thing you should know is that the idea of the app came before the skill to create the app. the idea created motivation for the skill. The idea to create something no one has ever thought of. Just Talk is owned and developed by Kesh Jacobs LTD and Kesh Jacobs LTD is one of the very few businesses backed up by the University of Liverpool Entrepreneurial Programme. As it is one of the most innovative things in the app store at the moment as it is getting wonderful feedbacks. The thought of how great this idea is, was what drove me into learning how to create the idea. From so many turn downs, I managed to strive on and build this incredible app. And after a year of hard work, the first three versions has been made available for free (two updates plus original version).

Someone had to think of this idea some day, and I am so glad it was me. Humans since day one have been looking for ways to understand each other and one of the most efficient way to do so communication. We have then created so many ways to communicate with each other and this year is my own addition.

The app is bespoke, for those who are not fan of texting or for those just love to try something new (everyone is welcomed), and why the voice filters?. well not everyone likes the way they sound, so why not give them a hand and change how they sound. besides the filters are fun and the future filters will be even more fun. To add more fun, how about you give people limited time to access your message. Users have unlimited access to voice messages under a limited time.

This is a messaging app, so you will need to have friends of family on it. or perhaps make new friends or just add me on it. "keshjacobs". Happy talking.

Knowing your App (part 5)

For those who do not know what Just Talk is about here's a brief explanation. It is a messaging app for sending and receiving voice messages only, with voice filters to change how you sound. Users can listen to their sent of received messages as many times as they want but after 24 hours the messages will be deleted. Note: if you do no open your received or sent message after 24 hours, it will still be deleted. Smileys are displayed by every message and they indicate when a message has been opened, left unopened or deleted. Straight up voice messaging app. no texting, just voice messages. Don't text, Just Talk.
  Now we shall continue from where we left off in previous post. the moment you click the button "verify" your profile will get created and you would be taken to the "timeline page". This page I believe most of us will visit the most because all your sent and received messages appear here. On this page we will see the username of the people who you sent or received your messages. The smiley by every name signify different things also (shall be explained in the next post). Something to note about them is that they change when a message has been opened or deleted (hence where there are different smileys in the picture below. You will also be able to tell when your message has been sent or deleted from this page. This page is an active page as it contains not only your messages but the navigation icons to other pages. the settings icon on the top left, the profile page icon on the top middle, the record new message icon on the top right and the filter page icon in the bottom of the screen. each page shall be explained in future posts. while using the app you will notice everything has been made to be very simple. It will be self explanatory when you start using it. This timeline page will be the landing page for the app anytime you open the app (as long s you do not sign out or delete  the app). Most times is you leave the app you would be taken to where you left off, however if the app refreshes or if you close the app from recent tabs, you would be taken to the landing page which is the timeline page.

Knowing your app (Part 3)

I feel its always nice to introduce what JUST TALK is about because of our new readers and those who do not know what this page or the app is about. Just Talk - DTJT (don't text, Just talk) I a new messaging app for sending and receiving voice messages only with voice filters to change how you sound. Users can listen to both their received and sent messages as many times as they please but after 24 hours all the messages would be deleted automatically. All the messages would be deleted after 24 hors even if a user has not opened the message. There are smileys by every message that indicates unopened messages, opened message and deleted messages that have not been opened after 24 hours (spot those who ignored you and failed too open your message easily).
    Once again we are assuming that you're only using your app for the first time. You must have already clicked on the icon to use the app for the very first time and have already seen the intro page (information about this page can be found in the last post). the intro page is just a picture containing app logo that is displayed for less than a second if you're opening the app for the first time or you've completely closed the app and you're re-opening it. That type of page can be found in all apps. As you're just using the app for the first time, you would need to learn how it works that's why the next thing you see if a walkthrough tutorial on how to use the app. most apps have this. It is short and comprises of screenshots of three pages of the app with writings and arrows over them.

To make sure we do now waste any of your precious time and improve your app experience we have been able to pack the walkthrough tutorial into three screens. They contain all the information you need to get used to find your way into the app, get used to the app and discover more. happy talking guys. remember, Don't text, Just talk.
