Tap Play: Push to Talk is not a VOIP client in itself, but is an excellent way to enhance your VOIP experience using your favourite client such as Ventrillo, Teamspeak, Vivox etc. Read down for more information on what it does!
Note: We do recommend ALL users download the manual from www.clarkeapps.com/downloads before purchase, setup is simple but may require some instruction
If our website is down please visit http://www.mediafire.com/?7t8svhufdaabw or http://www.clarkeapps.shorturl.com for alternative download links
Simply download the free server from www.clarkeapps.com/downloads , open the app and connect to your PC - on Windows, type in the IP shown on the server app, on Mac tap on the Bonjour server. Then tap Edit and choose letters or numbers, select your key combination and tap Edit. From there on whenever you push the Talk button that key press will be sent to your computer.
Holding down the button pushes the key, letting go of it releases the key. Set it as your Push to Talk key in your favourite VOIP (Compatible with all the popular VOIP combinations such as Ventrillo, TeamSpeak, Vivox etc)
Why use it?
Simply weve all had those moments where weve accidentally broadcasted something to guild members that we wish we hadnt, because we accidentally hit that wrong key. Use Tap Play: PTT to set up a complex key bind such as Ctrl + ] - something youll never accidentally press, to a single button on your iOS device, and now youll never transmit that argument with your parents, you eating your dinner, your farts(!) by mistake again.

Latest reviews of Tap Play: Push to Talk app for iPhone and iPad
Overall doesnt even connect to the "server". I dont know how you can sell an app that doesnt even work.
I bought this app thinking that it was going to be just like Ventrillo. It is not. It doesnt have any of Ventrillos features. Its only purpose is to use it simply as a push to talk button. Dont buy this app thinking its going to be just like vent, because its not, and I was disappointed. 5 stars because its doing what it was made for.
I hate to write reviews like this, but this app is terrible. It runs for maybe two seconds tops before crashing. The support links for it are broken. Its simply umwieldly.
