I’ll look into the push to talk on android. You do need to speak the exact phrase for it to work, there is no AI to “interpret” what you say.
For using on the same device, not even sure how that would work as switching apps to this app would pause your flight because IF needs to stay in focus. I’m not sure if the IF local API supports it, but you can try to use the same IP address as the same device to see if it connects.
I added a user guide at the below link. Let me know if this helps.
I’m writing a further review of this magnificent app. Now IFATC COMPANION is part of my third-party apps that can’t be missing when I fly with infinite flight. I consider it very important for my parents, so I noticed that it could be improved in some places.
You could enter the descent authorisation near the TOD. So that it is ATC that gives you the descent authorisation.
In my many flights accompanied by IFATC COMPANION I noticed that it does not always indicate the speeds to maintain and the right flights, maybe this could be improved. Another thing to improve is that the assigned gates do not always correspond to the present or real ones of the airport, these should be improved a lot. I always thank you for the excellent work you do and for this wonderful app you have created.
Pity, unfortunately, unless this app can run on PC,I won’t be able to use the app, although I understand it has good reviews, and it seems like a nice addition. Good luck with the developmen5.
Hello all. Thanks for the feedback so far. The latest release should have some fixes for more reliable approach calls and also better weather routing.
For a desktop app, that will require some research to see if it’s possible.
Just found this thread, tracking to see if same-device or PC use cases become useful, as I use IF on a single Samsung phone.
Sounds incredible!
Same to me, i use infinite flight on one device, i would love is this was available on pc!
Id use it if it ran on the background instead of using a 2nd device
A background mode would be possible. Not everything like the active weather deviations that would require interaction but maybe the standard calls throughout the flight. Would you want just the ATC calls or include your readbacks as well automatically?
Readbacks included as well 
Ok give me some time to figure it out and I’ll report back.
Second vote for an Android background mode…
I already use FlightAnnounce for the copilot / onboard sounds level… this could be a great combination!
Ok first version of background mode incoming on both android and iOS. As soon as the stores approve you can update. Got this one out quick so let me know how it works.
please flag it here when ready
I’m installing Android version 1.0.4, updated 18 Sep. Fingers crossed.
Yes android should be released, iOS still in review.
Make sure you get IF loaded in a flight with your flight plan loaded and then open the app, put it in background mode (toggle in settings), and make sure it connects before switching back to IF.
got background mode going, N715HH KLMT-KSFO live. FlightAnnounce also active.
iOS version is also now released.
Background mode appears to have jumped from takeoff clearance to KSFO Tower landing clearance for 28L.
Interesting, can you PM me the exact sequence of what happened and what you were doing?
