Hello world, I thought I'd leave somthing cool for you guys to tke into easter. A new version of Just talk. there should be no problems with notifications whatsoever. It has now been completely fixed as we had to re-write the codes for this.We are still working on a better and more improved cast. We believe it would be done by next week. With the cast feature you will be able to record, upload and share audio files even if you have no friend's on the app. You will be able to view the number of times your cast upload has been replayed and share this on facebook in the nearest future. For now we hope you keep enjoying and using the app. Happy easter in advance.

Knowing your app. (part 24). Happy Sunday

First of all, I Just want to take this time to say HAPPY SUNDAY to everyone. Best wishes today and we hope you have a wonderful week ahead. I worked tirelessly last week and had no time to blog. 6am to 10pm daily. I'm now back and ready to blog again. The app "JUST Talk" is currently experiences notification issues. We're trying to find solutions to that problem because it seems to keep coming and going. Some times it works and some times it doesn't, however in the past two days, it has been the same thing. It has not worked at all. I'm certain it will be sorted by Monday (tomorrow).  we've also been experiencing great increase in the number of daily app downloads. I'm super excited about that and we expect this will keep improving. In the next coming days we would be uploading a new version of the app to the app store. It will contain, Facebook login and Just talk Cast. We're also still working on new filters which would be available soon. 32 new filters are projected to be available by the end of the year.

Knowing your App (Part 21). Introducing "Cast" (audio story and podcast: Record and share).

Almost everyone has been jumping into the "Story" wagon lately, It first became popular with Snapchat, Then Instagram decided to jump on the idea followed by WhatsApp. Perhaps I would be doing the same, but nope! I wouldn't. Just talk would do something a little bit different. Introducing "Just Talk Cast". The filter page will no longer be for one purpose only as it was never planned for just filters only. The filter page would now be used for Podcasts, Casts and filter and particular video activities  (and no user will not be able to upload their personal videos). Podcasts and videos will not be available till future dates. however Casts will be available in the next coming weeks. The filter page will now be called the "Activity Page". As time goes  by, this page would become more and more interesting starting with Casts. Cast may be considered as "Story" because its all about recording a message everyone can see. In our case, it will be audio messages only. The option to record and share cast messages will be situated on the "record page". Amongst your contacts in "Record page" will be "Cast". It would be at the top of your contact list and different from how your contacts look so it shouldn't be hard to spot. To upload  Cast to the activity page, You'll simply need to select it in the same way you do when you're recording a message, record your message and hit the "send" icon. Check your Activity page to view cast messages by you or any of your contacts. You would also be able to see how many times your cast message has been played from. So ladies and gentlemen, Tell me, how interesting is That!?

Knowing your app (Part 17) how to record and send messages

In the previous post we learnt how to search and add new contacts. Now that we've learnt how to do that, let's learn how to send messages. Just like everything about the app, sending a new message is pretty simple (there will be diagrams to elaborate on me words). Once you've logged into the app, you will notice three icons on the top of the screen from any part of the app except the "filter page" (A more elaborate explanation about this three icons can also be learnt from the previous post and older post). They are located at the top of all but one of the app page and they are called (top left to top right), the settings icons, the profile page/screen icon and the record page/screen icon. For this tutorial we would be talking about the "record new page/screen". More information about the "profile page can also be found in the previous post.

At this point we would love to assume that you have made some new friends or just have your old ones on the app. Perhaps I am one of your new friends (keshjacobs is my username on the app, feel free to add me). So back o the matter at hand. You have made some new friends and you wish to start talking to them. Or you have already received one or more messages from them and you wish to reply (if you add me "keshjacobs" I would most-likely have already send you a voice note saying a big thank you for adding me and downloading the app). Once again we return to the reason you might be reading this post. To send a new message, simple tap on the icon on the top right corner of the screen (the record new icon). you would then be taken to a page (the record page) showing a list of your contacts and a button for recording new messages (note the main  three navigation icons would still remain at the top of the screen). To record a new message simply tap on the person you wish to send a message to (this would tick the circle besides the name) then tap and hold the button below the name to record a new message. let go off the icon once you're done recording your message. Your recorded message will play back immediately then tap "send" to send the message to the selected contact. If you do not wish to send the message you  just recorded, simply tap "cancel" to delete it. Taping send will take you back to the timeline page (more details of timeline page in older posts). here you would see the status of the message you have just sent. You will get a notification at the bottom of the screen's page indicating the message has been sent. For best performance and to ensure the message reaches the receiver, please wait in the current screen (timeline screen) until you're notified message has been sent. Once you have been notified about this, the information that says sending besides the receiver's name would change to "sent".

knowing your app (part 16) how to search and add contacts: add me "keshjacobs"

If you've only just downloaded the app, you may not be able to do much until you add atleast one person on it. As usual i'll always offer my contact details to those who wish to speak to me (keshjacobs). Feel free to add me and i'll be happy to speak to you and answer your questions if you have any. Adding a new contact is pretty simple. On the timelinepage/screen there are three icons situated at the top of the screen. one on the left, on in the middle and the third one on the right (check below post of pictures). To add a new user, we will be needing the one in the middle. This icon is a highlighted picture of the app logo in white and it is called the profile page icon as taping on this icon would take you to yout profile page. The information in your profile page at the moment should include your unique username, your name and a search box. Friend requests will also appear on this page(|you would have the option to accept or reject requests). To search for a new friend you would be needing the searchbox in this page. Tap on the search box and type in the name or username of the person you wish to add. In the case of adding me case, search for "keshjacob" but in the pictures at the bottom of this page I have searched for "karan31". The user's display name would appear as seen in the pictures below also and to send a friend request, tap on the square with s cross in it. Iimmediately a friend request would be sent. As soon as the other contact accepts this friend request, then you're all set to start talking.

Knowing you app (part 10) app video

I have now been able to create a video that also describes the app. Remember, Just Talk is completely FREE it is available on the ios app store only. There have been a few complainsts about the texts in the video so there would be another video coming up soon. It would be easier to read. but for now, I hope you enjoy this video and the lovely background music by Tay iwar: zion wolf (tay edition).

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 4)

For the benefits of those who do not know what just talk is about, Just Talk is a messaging app for sending and recieving voice messages only. It has exciting voice filters to change how you sound. Some of us out there have been waiting for an app like this. some of use who just are not a fan of texting then this is the app for you. If you love textig already then this something new and innovative to try. first of its kind and super FUN. So far i've managed to stretch things that would happen in less than a minute into a series of posts. It may be long for some but, on the bright side you get to know more and understand more about how this and other apps work. At the end of the series you would have some undertsnaind about how apps work and how to build them and were to look. Now back to my app. At this point youve already gone through the walk through tutorial. everyone is familiar with that, just swipe left throught the pictures and click on "get started" at the end. Once again you're just opening the app for the first time so after looking through the walkthorugh tutorial, you will be shown the sign up page of the app which  also shows the "log in" icon. if you have already created an account (probably on another device), all you have do is tap on "log in" and impute your username and password then hit "Verify".  this would log you in the app. you would not have to do that again only if you delete the app and re-install it or hit the "log out" icon from the settings page (more information about those pages would be available in future posts). On the other hand signing up if you do not already have an account is pretty sinple and straight foward. At the moment, your email adress, date of birth and sex are optional (may change in future especially when you may be required to verify your account). So I highly recommend you just fill in all the details. they are straight foward and do not ask for much. create a unique username and password and hit the verify button. doing that would instantly create your account and log you in. As we do not have millions of users at the moment, many popular names are still available if you bare those names, so hurry up before its taken. That way you can acually use your name as your unique username. imagine being the first and only "jack" every other jack would need numbers of underscore of whatever after their name.

Verify is just below login and sign up. By cicking "verify" you should know that you are also agreeing to accepts Just Talk's term and conditions.

Knowing your app (part 2)

Note: A walkthrough tutorial is available in the app. At this stage, we will assume you have just heard about the Fun new app Just Talk and you have decided to download it. Just Talk is a free app available on IOS only (soon to be on android). Just Talk messenger can easily be identified on the app store with an icon of a red bird with a green beak (this icon/logo will be explained at later posts). after we've download the app, the next stage would be to open the app first the first time. opening the app for the first time will introduce the "intro" page first. this is basically the app logo covering the entire screen. it will be displayed for less than 1/2 of a second (also depends on phone speed).

This page also appears when you close the app from recently used app. It signifies that you've closed the app and you're re-opening it. on a computer you can minimise a page and you can close the page. minimising a page on your computer is similar to leaving an app on your phone to another app while closing a page on your computer is similar to leaving your app and closing it from recent tabs. in many cases on your phone, minimising an app and re-opering it may not bring you to where you where you left of, it may refresh the app again. This sometimes depends on how powerful your phone is or how many apps you have oppened at the same time. If the app is minimised and not closed completely and you decided to use the app again from your recently opened app, you are most-likely going to be retroduced back to the app with the page you left off. if not you would be introduced to the loading/intro-page of the app. in our case it's the picture above. its on of the easiest way to reload the app also. however because Just Talk is small app in size (10 mb) and uses only a little of the phone's memory, the app can stay in the background and in the same page you left it for a very long time without reducing your phone's performance. we would like you to look out for this app logo as it is ours and should remind you of your possibly new favourite app Just Talk. Remeber, Just Talk is completely free to download, it is a messenger for voice messages only and it is the first of its kind. feel free to follow our social media pages Facebook, twitter and Instagram. click on the Links highlighted in blue below to find out more and keep updated.
