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.
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.
Despite many interactions with their software team, there’s a refusal to update for iOS 16.
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
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.
No longer able to repair my Talkabout radios. I’m on iOS 16
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!
Pairing fails again and again
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
If you’re trying to pair remember to turn on bluetooth through the radio settings
