What Triby Does Well
Using an accompanied app, the Triby unit lets users send and receive drawings and calls between the speaker and an app on iPhone or iPad (an Android version is in the works). That’s handy if a person without their phone in the kitchen wants to talk with someone in the other room.
Where Triby Could Be Improved
Speaking of phones, a smartphone app allows you to talk between Triby and cell phone, but calls can’t be made to actual phone numbers. The choice likely kept costs down—a cell radio would lead to a higher initial asking price and a monthly fee. Though with the ability to talk to others via VoIP, we wouldn’t mind seeing Triby take things one step further.
