This used to be the best app for people without iPhones. Now it’s just an ad trap.

By Jango the Hedgehog (Pcmac user)

Back when I had an iPod gen 2, the gen 3 was coming out with camera and microphone. Mine didn’t have any of that. So I used the original apple earbuds that came with it. You could call anyone in the US for however long you wanted. I would talk to my mom for so long at school! Now that I have an iPhone, I wanted to call someone without giving them my exact number, and I remembered this app existed. WOW did it change. You have to watch a 30 second ad for every 30 seconds worth of call. Not only that, if you or the other party hangs up before those seconds are over, the system decides the credit has been fully used, and so far when testing it, (watched 4 ads which is 2 minutes, called for 34 seconds) it completely “eats” the remaining time. i guess i’ll stick to gmail’s phone service. at least you don’t have to watch an ad every 30 seconds. and actually seems to have even better connection. for free!
Fix this issue

By Tyrannnosaurus (Pcmac user)

This app used to be a go to app for free/cheap texting and calling. Now, it’s just immensely buggy. People call/text me, and their number shows up as “Unknown” and it’s not blocked because blocked numbers show up as “Restricted”. Their texts show up double or triple on my end. Also, my texts are not going through. When I try to call people, the app either will not let me, or it also has a habit of hanging up in the middle of the conversation. I also think that it’s cheating to use my paid minutes before the person even answers the phone, the minutes should be deducted once they answer. I have to also keep the phone on speaker, and not tilt the phone, because if I do, the minutes go from example “30 mins” to “- - -“ and the call briefly disconnects and neither of us can hear each other, until I tilt the phone back. So that means I can never tilt the phone onto my face. What’s that about. Kind of disappointed.
Buggy and support has been unresponsive

By exhaustedmommacat (Pcmac user)

We use this for a business, as when we opened we opted to not have a phone. It is primarily used on an iPad, and it consistently freezes, doesn’t load texts, or doesn’t send outgoing texts. I have this loaded on my personal phone as a way to actually be able to get the texts that will not load on the iPad. I don’t want to have to have this on my phone as well, but that does work most of the time for retrieving the texts we can’t load. The incoming calls setting has been disabled, but it still allows them, which is frustrating for both our guests and ourselves. This feature is disabled on both the iPad and my phone. I have emailed support twice about this and gotten zero response. This is our main issue with this app. The owner of the business does not want to install a phone. Otherwise we wouldn’t be using this.
You don’t deserve my low rating

By Aggressors dance (Pcmac user)

I have been loyal to this app for many years, following it all the back when it used to have communities, and through it’s changes. It has always been my preferred method of contact and it is a great app. The problem is it has become ineffective lately. I am finding out that often the messages I send are not being received all the time on the other end. I have no problem receiving texts, but sending them has gotten so bad it feels like a 50/50 sometimes on if the person will get them. I don’t know when this started as it just gradually got worse to the point of being intolerable . I thought it was my device being old but I just got a new device and the problem still exists. I’m sorry to give it 2 stars, if it weren’t for this problem it should be a 5 or 4 star app.
