Other Comments

Jumvo has some cool features like it will start recording once you put the earpiece to your ear and stops when you put it away, the sound quality is brilliant and the sounds are quite cool. The fact that groups must be organised as Facebook events is a little bit annoying and also the messages can be only up to 10 seconds long.
