Call and send texts from the same app

Talkray – Free Calls and Text, developed by the authors of the excellent app TiKL, is an app to make calls and send texts, very similar to WhatsApp and LINE.

What can you do with Talkray?

The main purpose of Talkray is to let you make calls and send instant messages to your contacts from one single app.

Calls can be made to either a single contact or a group. The text message options include the usual features we find in similar apps: you can send pictures, videos, audio files or your location on the map.

It does add a few things to the standard messaging app feature set. If you are a photo fan, then there is a voice snap option to send an image with an audio message. Also, all those of you with an Android Wear device can now send a message just by talking to it – Star Trek eat your heart out.

All in one place

Talkray’s design isn’t as attractive as, for example, LINE. But it does show all the features on the same screen (call, send message or attachment), which can be easily accessed from a side tab.

Just like with other similar apps, the problem is finding friends who also have the app installed. Although it’s very easy to add contacts and you can even send messages to your friends to convince them to install it, you’ll have to fight against apps that have been in the market for longer.

An app that has everything

Talkray has many interesting features: it has lots of options, works well and is easy to use. It’s also very fast and very simple to use right from the start.

Apps like Talkray don’t have it easy competing against other big ones in the market. But if you are looking into trying an app that combines calls and messages in one same screen, this is one of the most interesting ones you can find right now.
