I understand that Zello is not FOSS, but their website claims everything is end-to-end-encrypted.

So, in short, should/can it be trusted? If not, are there any good FOSS alternatives that provide similar Walkie-Talkie like functionality?

    I wasn’t asking if FOSS can be trusted, I was asking if Zello can be trusted. The general consensus judging by the comments so far is an astounding no, by nobody has really provided any good alternatives with similar functionality.

      I wasn’t talking about whether or not to trust FOSS, I was talking about Zello (since it’s closed source, which I originally mentioned). There might not be a FOSS alternative, I don’t know since I have never needed a walkie talkie app. That’s why I didn’t mention one and only answered the first part of your question. You’re right that it probably can’t be fully trusted (because it’s closed source).

      Their claims cannot be verified. So no, you can’t “trust” them on anything more than their claims. Which can’t be validated. So…
