not working
The audio messages are terrible on this app whenever I send them people tell me that it goes through and sounds super fast. I'm about done with this stupid app. 👎
Bizarre. My number was suddenly suspended, the message from the company said I used it outside of the US, and it is permanent and irreversible. I never left the states, so its pretty inconvenient. Luckily I wasnt relying on it for important communications.
you have to pay to get verification codes.
It will not let me uninstall this app. Could not find my phone number. Try multiple times..
Not Working!!!
STILL a worthless Garbage app. Nothing but endless sneaky pop-ups, redirects and ads. Report to Google. Half the calls don't go through, it's all ads
This app blocks things like verification codes. It doesn't let you know that until a code has been sent to you and then asks you to pay $4.99 to see the code. look for another app. that's what I plan to do...
needs subscription
the single sucks the person on the other end can't hear you most of the time everyone giving a five star must work for them or family of them
not really free!
If I could give 0 stars, I would. IF I get a notification of a call, the sound cuts out for the person I'm talking to after a minute and is incredibly frustrating. 👎🏻👎🏻
why is it called text free if I have to pay to receive text, tf?!
lots of add and extra
to many ads
yall need to update bugs in the system worst app to use
If you use the app from a different I.P. you signed up from they freeze your account. Literally what's the point of this app if you cant use it outside your home? or office or wherever you set it up? when I tried to get help from customer service it was the rudest most unhelpful customer service interaction ive ever had. At the time I was down financially and needed this app to stay in touch with my dying mother. They froze my account and made zero effort to correct it. Horribly pathetic of them
too many ads. and not calling out right.
I have this app on a phone that died, and therefore I cannot delete the app. As a result, this app is charging me $5 per device when I can only access this app on one device. There is no way to remotely delete the app. As a result, I'm being charged $10 ($5 per device) when I should only be charged $5. I'm not willing to pay for what I can't even access. There are plenty other apps out there that won't rip me off. It's sad because I really do like this app.
I've not been able to sign in since I installed this. It kept saying " request failed with error 7063" what is the issue
when you get to anything automated where you have to press a keypad number to continue it does not work very irritating, and I doubt they will do anything to fix it
this app never really worked
placing an ad right before I make a selection on the screen makes you an a hole. screw you ; plain and simple, you are exactly what's wrong with this country. greeeeeeed! edit: thanks for the response; now I get ads when I try and close the app yay for targeted advertisement and predictive placement y'all are super stars!!
way to many ads. I understand they need ads but in middle of phone call a ad will pop up. after every single text message ad. Even in middle if texting ad.
too many adds. adds going on too long delays after add before allowing to close app. It might be however making money is being prioritized over personal safety.
always bad connection, can't call businesses, can't use number keypad when on the phone, so no calling extensions.
having to replace several buttons just to get my phone calls
This turkey does not support SMS text nor short codes.
to many issues trying to sign up. I'm not interested in problems. I'm interested in the ease of operation. Downloaded a different app.
worst ever
verification codes are a premium feature.
Stupid app, every time I try to sign up I get an error message that says: Request failed with error 7063
can't create a account error code 7063 ive never had a account. so whats the deal ? STOP WITH THE AUTOMATED MESSAGES AND PUT A REAL RESPONSE.
had to pay for verification not good
I pad 4.99 I though it would lock in my number and remove adds. well it's weekly 4,99 for 20$ a month I only need 10$ more a month and I can get a free smart phone and unlimited. Do the ad said it was guanteed How do I get my money back?
calls break up and drop
it's not text free, u can't receive text that have confirmation codes!! lies
it freezes up and mess up too much it have to exit out the app
ok it's just the weird adds
seems like its down an not working 4-4-26
it's good
Ok ok ok have not used yet
too many adds and dropped calls adds are ridiculous...they say go to settings and make sure it's set to excellent but there isn't a place that has this at all text now is way better just saying you gotta buy subscription to get verification code text now offers you points to earn to get verification codes and voicemails.
I can't make phone calls
