    Android app used by hk taxi drivers

    What's the android app that lots of taxi drivers use?

    It Looks like a green circle in the middle of the screen?! Is it for GPS info or traffic or something else?

    Just curious.

    I have seen that and its mainly for them to bark out orders rec'd to their network and see which taxi driver wants it.

    It's called Zello - it's a walkie talkie app that has really caught on recently with taxis. You join a channel you create, or join an already created one. You want to hear some funny stuff, join London channel!

    nice to use with friends/coworkers in certain settings, too. like at amusement park, etc

    fyi - it's avail on ios too.

    I was told one of those apps was a group walkie talkie type thing. By passes the radio calls?

    Fewer button pushes than whatsapp

    Just saw Asia Jason mentioned that.
