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.

Good News!!! Just Talk is now available on PlayStore (android)

Hello everyone, the wait is officially over!! we have perfected the first version for Google play store and it is now available for download.  New things have been added and current things have been improved. Enjoy voice messages with friends and family. With the first official version we introduce CAST. Upload an audio and watch your listeners increase. please free to inform us of any bugs. This is only Version 1.0  and there are many more things to come.

Click link to access the google Play store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.something.ganik.justtalk

The IOS version of the app will not be available for a limited from today. Were're making big changes

The tittle says it all. We're currently improving the app and pushing things really quickly. As we're still little this would affect the app's functionality hence why we've pulled it from the appstore while the changes are being made. However, for android users, this would be a bit different. we're expecting a fully functional android version to arrive by Next week.

Here's a link to download the latest test version of the android version.

Note: this is not the complete version. here are some features and some instructions.

• Download app
• some of you may need to check you file manager on your phone to find the downloaded app. from there will you be able to install the app
• install app (some phones may ask you to give this third party app the permission to install the app, please do so as it's normal. It's simply because the app is not on play store yet)
• after installing the App please go to the app permissions in your settings page and give permission for the app to use your phone's storage and microphone (you would need this to be ticked in order to record and send messages. 
• search for me "keshJacobs" (or any of your friends) and add me. When you find me or your friend and tap the box icon to add me or your friend, there may be no reaction but worry not, I or whoever you're adding will get the notified that you've send them a friend request (remember this is a test/beta version)
• After that, you may begin to use the app
• please please please if you can send me your feedbacks (keshjacobs) using the app I would be very grateful. so far I have been getting wonderful feedbacks which have been giving me wonderful ideas for better user experience. I will listen to all your feedbacks.  

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 12) : News. got some interesting pics for you

Hello wonderful blog readers, back at it again. In my last post I indicated that there was going to be a new update coming sooner than expected. Well, i'm back again on it to let you know for sure that this update would surly be ariving sooner than I expected the last time (can't wait can i?). got some pictures about the new update i'll love to share. I would love you to do abit of guess work if you can. feel free to comment if you can. Plus I had a rethink about the link for new readers who do not know what the app is about so I thought it would be nice to put it at the bottom of the post for this one. But first here are some tease pics for the new update.

Feel free to do the guess work. Now for you new new users readers, what is Just Talk - DTJT about? It is a messaging app but this time for voice messages only and it allows users to use voice filters to change how they sound. You can listen to your messages as many times as you want but after 24 hours they would be deleted. This is regardless of whether you've opened them or not. I've you fail to open the messages withing 24 hours a smiley would be there to let you know you've not been very responsive to a friend. :D . don't text, just talk. keep talking people.

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 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.
