Everything in Nowza does one of two jobs
Get you talking sooner, or keep what you say between you. Here's how each part pulls its weight, on iPhone, Apple Watch, Android and Wear OS alike.
Faster than a phone call
Talk sooner
No dialling and no waiting to see if it's a good time. Nowza reaches your friend wherever they're most likely to notice.
- It reaches them on their wristWith a watch, the watch rings first, so they can answer without digging for their phone.
- You decide where you're reachedWatch only, watch then phone after 20 seconds, or phone only. One device rings, never both at once.
- Or skip the ring entirelyChoose Play Audio Immediately and friends' voices play the moment they speak, even with your phone locked.
- Reachable in Do Not Disturb, if you wantLet Nowza through Do Not Disturb and the Focus modes you pick.
Like being in the same room
Conversations that flow
Back and forth in your own voices, with none of the awkwardness of talking over each other.
- Jump in naturallyStart talking while they are, and their message pauses, then picks up where it left off.
- Nobody talks over anybodyAnother friend's message mid-conversation is saved for you, with a short note. They see you're busy.
- Keep talking without holding a thingDouble tap to lock Talk on.
- Reply without unlockingOn iPhone, talk back right from the Lock Screen.
- Your phone calls come firstOn a call or FaceTime, Talk waits, so Nowza never cuts in.
Better than a radio
Nothing slips through
A radio walkie-talkie forgets everything the moment it's said. Nowza makes sure your words land, and that you always know.
- Never wonder if it got throughSee Played, Busy, Do Not Disturb or No reply, right where you're talking.
- Missed it? It waits for youA message you miss stays on your device, still encrypted, for a day.
- Catch it againReplay a friend's last message for up to 24 hours. They aren't told.
- Bad coverage doesn't lose itIf your friend can't be reached, your own phone or watch keeps trying for up to 24 hours. It never waits on our servers.
Every phone, every watch
Everyone together

Made for the watch you wear

More confidential than a text message
