ListenUp is a proposed voice messaging app that allows users to send voice messages instead of phone calls, categorizing messages by person for easier access than voicemail. The app aims to solve the inconvenience of phone calls by providing a standalone voice sharing platform, allowing users to record and send messages, add contacts, and have selective destructibility of messages.
