Smartphone App: Walkie Talkie app added to Tizen Store

Last week, we have had a new Walkie Talkie app added to the Tizen Store, something a little different and a little fun, created by developer SomyaC. A walkie-talkie (more formally known as a Handheld Transceiver, or HT) is a hand- held, portable, two-way radio transceiver that lets you communicate directly between both handsets.
 
Features
It has a total of 6 buttons. Two buttons for changing the channels, which there is a total of 32 channels, 1 button for off (normally on/off), 1 button for the call, 1 button for speak, and 1 emergency. You can see a LED indicator which notifies you that you are connected to the relevant channel. The symbol ‘CH’ on the Walkie Talkie display shows you exactly what channel you are currently on. Also, there is a symbol for people, which indicates how many people are currently connected to this channel.
