√ Phone Tracking and Alerts: tawkon is a health tracker that lets you know when your phone emits higher than normal levels of radiation, using a metric called SAR (Specific Absorption Rate), so you can talk on safely. tawkon also tracks your phone usage behavior over time and lets you know how much radiation you have been exposed.
√ Suggestions: When SAR gets high, tawkon will suggest alternative ways to lessen your exposure – such as using a headset.
√ Parental Control: tawkon is a parental control health tracker app. As a parent, your personal tawkon dashboard gives you full access to charts and statistics of your kids’ talk time and exposure to radiation. All you have to do is invite them to download tawkon via the “Family” tab. As a health tracker, tawkon not only helps keep you safe, it helps keep your family safe.
√ Social: You can invite family or friends from your phone's contact list to connect with you within tawkon. The app lets you share your readings with them, as well as tips on avoiding excessive exposure. With tawkon, you can motivate your friends to live a health conscious lifestyle.
√ Weekly Report: The weekly report – sent via email – is more comprehensive and delivers useful usage tips in addition to the basic information you see in the application dashboard. tawkon is power efficient and totally non-intrusive. The app runs in the background only during a call. Since the two main components that drain battery power are the phone’s display and transmitter, if you talk wisely and act according to takwon’s suggestions, you can actually extend your battery life.

* How It Works **
*
Mobile phones transmit information to cell towers and antennas. When you are farther away from these towers, your phone works harder for a signal, which causes it to emit more radiation. Additionally, factors such as the distance of the phone from your head, poor signal strength as well as others, play a part in this equation as well.
Our radiation health tracker application analyzes communication components within your phone and other physical factors and predicts the level of radiation in real time. Based on universally accepted international SAR (Specific Absorption Rate) standards, the app provides contextual alerts when the user can take action to avoid high exposure.
Once you’ve made the suggested changes, tawkon confirms that you are once again safe, in low SAR and ready to “talk on”.

This app is great for those concerned about phone radiation. The statistics are not the most in-depth, but they serve their purpose as informative projections. This app runs smoothly and is visually appealing. It has four stars solely for the reason that this app has room for improvement in a non-specific way (due to the lack of problems). This app is nearly perfect in its niche!
Activates easy international roaming feature so you have to go into the settings and turn it off to make domestic USA calls again. Drains battery a lot faster than without it also. Good start and I'm sure they'll tweak it soon.
Good work guys.. I suggest if you could also create an on phone weekly summary as a push notification then it would be of great help. That will save somebody having to open the app also it will serve as a reminder for the forgetful ones.
I had to uninstall. I'm on a Moto X 2014, and whenever I try to make a call, Tawkon starts in the background, but my call doesn't start. I have to again initiate the call a second time, for it to actually go through. But my calls work just fine when I uninstall Tawkon. Please fix this bug, I would love to use this app again!
I wanted to buy your Retro phone. So, I tried around 10 times to buy it. However, the credit card option shuts down while the PayPal option does not recognise my data (in other applications I logon normally). This is happening for the first time and therefore i suggest to reconsider your payment system.Also I would appreciate if you could answer me.
Thanks for creating an app like this. Would be wonderful if u can also measure radidiation while using data traffic ( 3G or 4G). As it would usefull for users like me who use apps like viber and some voip applications to make calls .
It's a great app to have on your phone and help notify you of high exposure. However, I couldn't log on so contacted their customer service. Unfortunately my log on problem remains and I don't see it getting fixed anytime soon (been nearly a month with no reply). If there's one thing that really annoys me it's poor customer service.
I like the app but it adds 4 zeros at the start of numbers when I try to make a call so had to uninstall. Support would not reply to my emails. Just tried again after resetting phone and same problem. Nexus s
I really liked the application. It reminded me about high exposure and is far more accurate than other apps that I used. But there is one major flaw. It is endlessly waiting at login through FB. I tried using email registration but it throws some stupid error. Fix it and I will increase my rating to 5 stars.
it shows call time as 3 mnt and I installed it one month back .. also it always give error when u try to create a profile
It is useful to know when you expose yourself to high radiation. Usually I just move away when notified. Not bad at all
My mother-in-law turned me on to this. I've been android my whole life, she just got her fist smartphone a week ago and I had to ask her what Tawkon was.. Immediately downloaded it, love it! I'm into healthy things and emf's are huge for me. This app has also given me better battery life and had prevented about 10 dropped calls as well in the last week alone. I notice my signal bar drop in correlation to the alerts at times and I shift my phone an inch or two and I don't lose calls as much. I'm hooked!!!!!
A very slick and useful app but not able to login or connect with FB so not able to share or invite friends. When trying to sign in, the app gets stuck on 'loading' screen forever requiring a force close. Using a Gionee S5.5 KitKat.
Helps you understand if you are healthy or not when its about sticking your radiation box to your head. 👍
It warns me of high exposure when I am using Bluetooth headset and my phone is on the table. Hmmm I think this needs more work. Uninstalled...
Both the Facebook and mail login don't work. It would be great if it did. Besides that over all the app is very good.
Although many brand name phone manufacturer have the safety limits of SAR exposure.but this app also give a alert.
It would seem to me that it counts time in full minutes even if the call was shorter than that. Beside this point - one of the more useful apps I encountered.
This app is great in theory. I can't make outgoing calls when this app is installed because it adds zeros to the beginning of any number I am dialing causing the call to not go through...disappointed. Galaxy S III
Bug - quite often, the option to accept/reject appears late when someone calls though you can hear ringtone. This app is the culprit
Adds zeros to the front of numbers when I try to make a call. I then have to delete the zeros. Would otherwise be a great app. I have A Sony Xperia Z2. Will change the rating to 5 star if the developer fixes this very annoying problem.
Will give 5 stars if dev guys fix the problem of 0000 before every number i dial.
Hi, During each 5 min call, it says 2mins are with high exposure. Its a good application but there is no real data like sar value during various times of the call. So its getting difficult to understand what sar value you consider as high and its unclear about our phone's health. Can you add the feature to display instantaneous, maximum and average sar value of a call?
Its good, but I thought it would alert me of radiation levels real time not just during call.
People are less concerned about health impact by mobile radiation but for the people who do this is a great app. Thanks again great job here.
I like the app but above issue make life miserable, provide me a good solution. My mobile is OnePlus one model
Love this app! It's a must in today's world surrounded by toxins, radiation, etc... The only hang up is that once installed I have to push the caller button twice, trying to resolve.
I like the concept and would like to order the retro handset, however, the app renders my phone useless for making calls, as it adds numbers to each call. No response as of yet from customer service, so also wary of buying their product. Disappointing. Will uninstall, but reconsider if company attends to this matter.
