Good app, but it needs a lot of work, quite frankly. If you can find out how to toggle to the loud speaker, please leave a comment to this page and let me know how to do it. I'd really appreciate it!
Accessibility Comments
This app is just barely accessible enough to be doable. Basically, when you get into the app, go to the bottom of the screen and you should find a contacts button. double tap on it, then select the contact who also uses Ticl that you want to talk with. Then go to the bottom left of the screen, and double tap the done button. Now, tap on the center of the screen, then double tap. You'll hear a doorbell sound. double tap again and hold on the second tap. Say what you want to say, then release contact with your finger from the screen, and wait for a response. Be aware it may come through your private earpiece instead of the loud speaker. Apparently, you can change this, but god bless you if you figure out how!
