Rattlegram

[Papa2118]

OK, so about this Rattlegram thing. I still don't quite get how this can be more than a geewiz thing.  The radio(s) still need to be able communicate with each other so why not just talk?  I suppose if audio sucks maybe.  More secure I guess, but if someone has the app and is using the same codes they can see the messages too.  Or am I missing something?

Yes. 

Most people are not going around listening with the app at-hand ready to decode what you're saying.. and, it's not really meant to be "secure" anyway.

The rattlgram app Can play back a message much faster than you can speak it, and even faster than it can be decoded. Playback time IS Adjustable, once you learn how it works.  Also using Your Own ciphered message, that others can't make any sense of is Important.  Low tech apps, such as Rattlgram have Defeated Law enforcement when used by savvy criminals.
