improved user experience and Voice filters on android in a few hours

Hello everyone. we've been working quite a lot and would like to let you know we've done a lot. A lot to improve user experience. What to expect.

The record page has changed. new icons have been added. Firstly we've integrated the audio playback controls to the record screen so, now you can select more of your contacts even after recording your message. Before once you've selected a contact/your contacts (recipient), its impossible to edit the options once you've recorded your  message, however you can now do that. Its possible one message is meant for more people and it's possible to only realise that after recording your message.

We've made app react better to certain actions you make on the app. better response upon recording and sending a message.

New playback popup on timeline and cast page.

New accessible seek bar. You can now skip to any part of the message you like.

You can now pause a message, leave the app, return and continue playing the message from where you left off (as long as you do not close the app and you access the app from your recent apps)

5 new voice filters: Santa (it's Christmas season so that was necessary), chipmunk, alien, auto-tune and Alien.

bugs fixes.

here's a sneak peek in pictures.

Knowing your app (part 18) change how you sound: Voice filter

Sincere apologies for not being able to post in a while, I have been unbelievably busy for the past few days.. But anyways let's go back to what we came here to read.

So far we've learnt about the app screens, how to add new friends, how to listen to your messages and how to send messages. As one of the app's major features is the ability to change how you sound we've decided to teach you how to do that in this post. This would probably be fun for most people. Using the voice filters is relatively easy also. To use to filters in the app we have to be familiar with the filter page (picture would be shown below). Getting to the filter page is really easy. once you've been logged in the app, simply swipe left from any page/screen in the app and you would be taken to the filter page which would contain a selection of filters (more would be added as time goes buy). select anyone you please and hit the "back" icon to go back to timeline page/screen, Record a new message and experience the difference. Note: upon selection of desired filter, a text would be displayed at the bottom of the screen showing the name of the filter you have selected.

Another way to get to the filter page/screen is from the timeline page/screen. Tap on the icon (double arrow pointing to the left) at the bottom right of the screen and you would be taken to the "filter page"

announcement: there might be some delays with one of our updates because we are currently exploring a couple of voice filters and working on the noise some of our users hear in many of their messages.

Knowing your app (part 6)

Firstly, I will like you to know that Just talk, is a FREE app. it is available for FREE on the apple app store it will also be available on android for free in a couple of months time. One thing to NOTE about Just Talk is this. All messages get deleted after 24 hours regardless of whether you've opened them or not. some users have been complaining that their messages have been deleted by their senders. Neither the senders or receivers of messages can delete the messages. To listen to a message just make sure you open them before 24 hours as they automatically deleted. Also remember you can listen to them as many times as you please under 24 hours from when the message was sent or received. Now to make things a little easier I have included ways to make sure you know when a message has been left unopened with 24 hours and after. Also a way to identify when your messages have been opened.
Just Talk uses specific smileys to make users know when a message has been opened, unopened or deleted. First here's a picture of the timeline page to better understand my explanations in this post.

If you look closely at the picture you would notice that there are smileys by every username(messages). each name represent the sent/received messages and the arrows underneath changes direction in ration to the message being sent or received (further explanation in future posts).
   When you send or receive a message, this smiley appears by the message.

This smiley indicates that a message is yet to be opened. If the recipient fails to open the message within 24 hours it remains like this. It changes when he/she opens the message within 24 hours and when they fail to open the message after 24 hours. Now what does this smiley change to when a received message is opened within 24 hours from when it was sent?

Here's the answer. A message opened by the recipient has the smiley above beside it. so a message that has been opened within 24 hours changes the emoji to the one above. As I explained earlier, all messages get deleted regardless of whether they've been opened or not. So, even if you open a message sent to you, it will still get deleted after 24 hours. You may has as many asses to the message when it was sent but not after 24 hours. The smiley would however remain them same as the one above when the opened message get's deleted. Lastly we shall tackle the last question which I believe are on everyone's mind. What does the first smiley in this post change to when an unopened message gets deleted.

That is what we get when an unopened message remains unopened for after 24 hours. At this point you would be able to tell you received the message, but you would not be able to listen to it. It wll become inaccessible. 

I hope at this point I have improved your understanding about Just Talk. Coming up in the app, Music meets App, podcasts and shout-outs (profile messages). You heard it first. remember, don't text, Just Talk. Happy Monday and happy Talking.

knowing your app (part 1)

Many new thing are coming soon, many which would be made available monthly. exciting enough to increase your love for the app daily. In the main time here's the begining of a series of tutorial about using Just Talk. Asides the intro, log in and the sign up page the app has a total of 5 pages in total. one of which is the main page of the app. These 4 pages would most likely be visited more often than the others. They are called the "timeline" page, the "record" page, the "profile" page, the "setting" page and the "filter" page (pictures below write-up). these pages have been made very simple and easy to use. there would be indept tutorial about how each pages of the app works in future posts.
