  • Quite good Sip-Softphone

    I just bought it and enjoyed already almost 2 hours of phone calls to Germany and Canada through poivy. The sound quality is brilliant, no complains from the other side (Landlined) either. For what reason so ever, I had some dial errors, but continousely redial and most times at the third attempt had a proper call. May be the developers could have a look to see what caused this as I also sometimes couldn't get connected straight away with th sip provider. Nevertheless 5 Stars, nice interface, easy to set sip providers and again very good sound quality!

  • The application has great potential but currently it is still a beta quality product

    I've bought this app in order to be able to record my phone conversations. The configuration process is very far from what an iPhone user is used to, as it requires a lot of technical knowledge to set up properly. I've got this app working with Pennytel and it does what it should - i.e. places calls, records audio, gives access to the recorded conversations over the web. I wasn't so lucky with getting it to work with Voxalot and iiNet - one way audio, calls not getting connected etc. Other apps like Fring work OK with these providers so it's not my network set up which is broken. However, one great thing about Softphone is that it is one of only two apps that I know which do record phone conversations. And it does this job well. The feature I like most is splitting a two-way conversation into right and left channels in the audio file so that one party is in right channel and the other is is left. Great for audio clarity. If you are trying to pull as much quality from your audio as you can for an interview, a podcast etc it is a super-feature that I'm sure no other app has. Things that I'd be really really glad to see improved in the next releases: - user interface: let's face it, the background, as it is now, is unnecessary and creates much visual distraction. the original iphone dialler is pretty neat, so just replicate it! - call voice recording: once again, it's a great feature and a real selling point for this app. audio quality is good. however, accessing and saving the recordings to a computer is a pain. Call records need to be integrated with the native Voice Memos app, possibly tagging the files with the contact name/phone. The audio files needs to sync back to iTunes, like Voice Memos do. Then there would be no more hassles with accessing conversation records over the web, saving them locally, renaming, and putting them into the iTunes. - SIP configuration: needs to be made as intuitive and automatic as possible. also please fix issues with one-way audio - call connect: there's a weird rapid tone at the beginning of each call. very annoying and needs to be removed. All in all, I consider my nine dollars paid as an encouragement for further development. Good effort so far, but if the weak points are addressed it could be stellar application.

  • Excellent sound quality and push notifications

    I've been very happy with the Acrobits Softphone app. The sound quality with Gizmo5 is excellent. The push notifications work well, too, and allow me to place a Google Voice call through the Google Voice web app and then pick up the call using the Acrobits push notification, which is handy in spots where I don't have cell coverage but do have access to the internet through Wi-Fi. The developer, who is responsive to questions and suggestions, has included the helpful feature of sending a push notification when the 24 hour login to Gizmo5 expires. Now that AT&T will allow VoIP over 3G, I hope that Acrobits will quickly post an update to allow the Softphone to work over 3G.

  • Cisco Unified Callmanager 7

    Tried other sip clients and had poor quality with calls. Got this one and used it to make some test calls and it worked very well. Was connected over a really crappy comcast connection to my agencies VPN server to Cisco Unified Callmanager 7 and it worked great. Haven't gotten push working yet. Only reason it got 4 stars. Hope to make it 5 sometime soon. Would love to see G.729 at some point. Can't wait for VOIP over 3G.

  • Push Notifications are working!!

    I bought this application for the push notifications, which work pretty well atleast for Gizmo5!! However my only Gripe is with the sound quality which could do with some improvements. The developers reply promptly and will guide you to address your concerns. The interface is good & the call recording feature is pretty good.

  • Noisy & Breaking up

    I have connected two voip providers to this app and both have the same problem. Noisy voice breaking up and cracking, re-tested over my computer and voip calls are perfect. If you are serious about making voip calls with your iPhone this app will just cause you too many head aches. I have a very fast WiFi connection and still sound quality is very poor. App needs a serious update to be able to make decent voip calls from the iPhone.

  • Good voice quality. Best SIP phone.

    UPDATE: I'm changing my review and giving this phone a full five stars. This new version fixes all my complaints, plus adds some awesome new features.

    I've bought and tried all the SIP phones currently available at the app store. This one is the best one.

    The recording feature is done very well. I love how the recorded call is stored with your call history. Very clean interface.

    I'm using Gizmo5. Setup was very easy. The voice quality on this application is better than iSip (which I also bought). The interface is nice. Has a great feature to keep the Softphone running, so that you get incoming calls. (it prevents the iphone from sleeping, which is only helpful if the iphone is sitting on your desk plugged into some power. Otherwise, I'm sure it would drain the battery fast.)
