On-Demand Communication Apps

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

This App is Designed to Simplify the Act of Phoning Someone

— December 21, 2015 — Tech
'Roger' is an on-demand communication app that simplifies the act of calling someone. Traditional phone calls are inefficient in that they require both parties to be free at the exact same moment. This app simplifies the act of calling someone by providing users with a modern walkie-talkie system.

Roger is an on-demand communication app that makes it easier to stay in touch with friends and family. To use the app, users simply tap the name of the person they wish to contact and then tap again to talk. The recipient simply has to tap their phone to listen to the message and tap again to reply. The system thus facilitates simple voice communication on an on-demand basis. The system can be used by anyone with a mobile phone and the app even works offline.

Roger is ideal for those who are looking for a simple way to communicate more frequently with the people they care about.
