Need to fix unexpected Application exits. Happens way too often - unable to contact Wife and Son because their Zello application exited and must be manually restarted (neither are stopping it or purposely exiting). Please Fix abnormal exits - or develop 'watcher daemon' to periodically restart missing application processes. Otherwise app is great (if it just stayed running).

I recently started using Zello and see its value, but it’s not very user-friendly. First, it often switches from Available to Busy on its own, ruining real-time walkie-talkie use. Second, it’s hard for elderly or non-technical people to learn. Also, when pressing the talk button, it isn’t clear you’re recording—only small seconds show. The button should turn green when active and red when stopped for clear feedback.

I've never seen such an intrusive app. Everytime i restart the phone, this app goes online by itself. The acces to my battery is restricted and still it goes on. This is very wrong! Apart from this irritating issue, the rest is ok.
