### 3/5 — Great app

*2025-11-01, version 1.15.0*

This app now crashes often and defaults to apple mail instead of my default e-mail app. Hope this can be resolved by AT&T. 

My wireless and home phone voice mail have a shared mailbox. When a message is left in the mailbox, the app vibrates the phone and I can read a transcription of the message and delete without needing to dial and log into the mailbox over the phone. So convenient, thanks AT&T!

### 3/5 — Setting Changes Save PIN every time after IOS 18.5

*2025-06-26, version 1.15.0*

This app has been go to message retrieval for our 2 U-Verse phone lines.

It seems after iOS 18.5 (when noticed), it requires PIN every time the app is opened! It needs to be updated, since last update was 2 years ago! Turns out in settings this was OFF.

After turning back on, PIN is retained. Hope this APP is maintained, due to reliance upon it!

### 2/5 — The app freezes up each use!

*2024-07-19, version 1.15.0*

I’ve had this app for my office for several years. I haven’t seen any update in quite some time.  The app has good bones, but it freezes up EVERY time I use it with my iPhone.  I have to close it out & log back in multiple times each use.
PLEASE FIX THE BUGS!

### 1/5 — AT&T APP and employees never heard of it!

*2024-03-19, version 1.15.0*

The App is working but it does not notify me when someone leaves a message. No ringtone letting me know someone just called. I had 15 messages waiting. The sound icon selected I tried everything before calling AT&T. I was transferred to other departments and nobody I mean nobody knew or heard of this APP. I tried for two days trying to get help. Keep in mind I’m paying a monthly fee for this App. Where’s the customer service. My work around because I need this app. I check the app manually every 10 minutes to see if I have any messages. If someone have any suggestions using another app like this please post it. Thank you. I bet AT&T won’t see this.

### 1/5 — Just the worst

*2023-11-01, version 1.15.0*

The app is a disaster. It crashes all the time. Now, when I start it, my phone number is empty and it won't let me enter it.

### 1/5 — Stopped playing voicemail on iPad after last update

*2023-08-31, version 1.15.0*

I regret updating the app recently because now after years of using this app without any problems, I can no longer play the voicemail on my iPad. pressing the play button does nothing. And the transcription is extremely poor quality, so the app is nearly useless now.

### 1/5 — Quit working after latest update

*2023-07-18, version 1.15.0*

Won’t let me sign in.

### 2/5 — After the update it broke

*2023-06-15, version 1.15.0*

Unable login to retrieve my messages.  In addition doesn’t recognize PIN number or allow to reset pin :(

### 1/5 — not good

*2023-03-13, version 1.14.0*

you can’t login junk

### 3/5 — Keeps crashing needs attention

*2022-10-10, version 1.14.0*

AT&T someone on your team should be using and quality checking this app. It is fine when it works but now has crash bug. Please fix

### 1/5 — Have you guys used this app?

*2022-09-26, version 1.14.0*

It’s a serious question.  For the developers, have you used this app with your own home voicemail.  If you haven’t, you should.  Then you’d understand the reviews.

### 1/5 — Waste of Money

*2022-07-14, version 1.14.0*

This app delivers messages hours to days late without any notification. It is not reliable and it should be updated. ATT charges you the most but wont allocate any revenue towards fixing and updating their apps.

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2022-06-15, version 1.14.0*

I haven’t been to access my messages in over a year. Called support and they didn’t help at all and really didn’t care to fix anything. Awful service.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2022-04-25, version 1.14.0*

Doesn’t work.  Doesn’t accept sign in info.

### 2/5 — Where to start

*2022-04-14, version 1.14.0*

The user interface design alone should tell you how much AT&T doesn’t care about this app. The user interface was great in 2007 when the iPhone was born, but now… not so much. 

-No way to select and delete multiple messages
-no way to delete message without  the message
-messages are not audible
-login info not viewable when phone is in dark mode (black text on black background)

### 1/5 — Not working

*2022-03-31, version 1.14.0*

It is a land line , 

I have the right number and pin, and it is not working

### 1/5 — Garbage

*2022-03-06, version 1.14.0*

This app is garbage. AT&T doesn’t support it anymore and I have one voicemail I can’t get rid of because I can’t get into it anymore.

### 1/5 — Notifications stopped working

*2022-02-23, version 1.14.0*

On my iPhone & iPad, notifications (alerts, sounds & badges) stopped working. Messages only load AFTER the HOME or WORK app is opened.

### 1/5 — Has this app just been abandoned?

*2026-03-31, version 1.15.0*

You still provide the voice services so it’s hard to imagine why you wouldn’t provide the support on the app.  The app is one major glitch and hasn’t been updated in 2 years.  Why provide home voice services with voicemail if you’re not going to give people a logical way to retrieve the messages without the app freezing and shutting down?   It doesn’t make.  

“Connecting people for good is what we do best.”  

It’s your slogan.  C’mon.

### 1/5 — Horrible app. Hard to believe Apple allows this POS

*2025-12-09, version 1.15.0*

Constantly Crashes!

### 1/5 — Terrible App

*2025-07-01, version 1.15.0*

Bad UI/Ux design.   The messages are NO LoNger wrok.    Get new designers.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2025-01-01, version 1.15.0*

Terrible app at present. App routinely halts/abends or has other unexpected behavior. Seems as if the developer doesn’t care and hasn’t kept it up to date and/or fixed bugs.

### 1/5 — Stopped working for no reason

*2024-12-12, version 1.15.0*

I can’t log on anymore. I deleted and reinstalled the app but that didn’t help. It just stopped working for no reason several days ago. I’d call customer service to see if they can help, but who’s got that kind of time. I’ll probably just cancel my landline because why on earth do I have that anyway.

### 1/5 — Never works !!!

*2024-11-21, version 1.15.0*

Unable to sign in from the app but I can access from the web. This app is worse than useless.

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2024-07-30, version 1.15.0*

I hate this app I never get alerts! When I check it always is freezing! So unreliable and useless.

### 1/5 — Not great.

*2024-07-23, version 1.15.0*

Weird interface looks like it was written for iOS 6. Slow response times when it responds at all. You’re better off with a laptop and the web portal since their site is even worse on the phone. 

Eventually turned on VM->email forwarding and have a dedicated mailbox in the Apple Mail app. Orders of magnitude better than this mess.

### 1/5 — TERRIBLE APP FROM ATT

*2024-07-13, version 1.15.0*

This app CONSTANTLY freezes up. The translation is mediocre at best. Also when listening to the message it’s always through the phone speaker even if you have headphones or AirPods connected lol. What a joke this app is.

### 1/5 — Outdated - needs an overhaul

*2024-06-23, version 1.15.0*

This App doesn’t get any love from ATT. It’s quite buggy and freezes a lot. I often get an error message when trying to open a new voicemail that it can’t be downloaded.  I’ve used it for umpteen years and it’s the same as when it rolled out. Poor user interface and buggy in use. ATT should really be ashamed that their name is on this app in 2024 as it’s quality and usability is quite poor. Would have been fine in 2018!

### 5/5 — Great app

*2023-04-09*

My wireless and home phone voice mail have a shared mailbox. When a message is left in the mailbox, the app vibrates the phone and I can read a transcription of the message and delete without needing to dial and log into the mailbox over the phone. So convenient, thanks AT&T!

### 5/5 — Does exactly what it’s supposed to

*2022-01-31, version 1.14.0*

Allows me to hear my home voicemail before I get home

### 5/5 — Great app, great customer service

*2021-06-14, version 1.14.0*

Well, I‘be got to take back any negative things I’ve said about this app not working. I finally set aside time to call AT&T customer service and the rep figured out and fixed the issue in a couple minutes (and I was only on hold for about thirty seconds). It was a password problem, so a simple fix once the rep got it updated for me. Anyway, this app has been a great way for me to check in on my home office calls and faxes when I’m on the road, and I am thrilled to have it up and running again. If I run into further snags, I won’t delay calling their customer service line. Very nice work, AT&T, I appreciate you (and this app).

### 5/5 — Now it works great

*2020-03-04, version 1.12.0*

I used this app for quite some time with no problem. Recently my iPhone X s Max crashed and I had to have it restored to factory settings. After reinstalling this app, I could no longer log in. I tried getting help with NO SUCCESS. I actually called AT&T and they could not help me AT ALL. After uninstalling and reinstalling a few times, it finally works great again. Happy once more.

### 5/5 — Luv the App!

*2019-02-15, version 1.11.0*

I’m one of the very few who still has a landline. I hate checking voicemail. This app makes it convenient and easy breezy! Fabulous!

### 5/5 — Works fine

*2018-06-24, version 1.11.0*

Had this on my phone worked great. Lost my phone and got a replacement phone voicemail stopped working. Support (Ben) spent quite awhile working to get it working again and succeeded. A few days later voicemail stopped again. Support tried again but we couldn’t get it to work. Contacted AT & T spent over 1 1/2 hrs and two techs finally got it working. Was a phone problem and not Virtual Voicemail program. Working great again !

### 4/5 — ***How to Fix March 2021 “Unable to access” problem***

*2021-04-14, version 1.14.0*

If after the March 2021 app update, the app says you can’t access your voicemail, try: 1) Go to Settings. 2) Turn OFF the “Save PIN” option. 3) Go to Inbox, you should be prompted to enter your home phone number and your PIN. If you’re not prompted, close the app and re-open again to go to Inbox. Enter home phone number and PIN when prompted. 4) The app should now function normally. Go back to Settings and turn “Save PIN” back on so that you won’t have to enter your number and PIN every time.

### 4/5 — **People having trouble logging in**

*2021-04-01, version 1.14.0*

I called AT&T and they figured out it is wanting a 6 digit PIN number in my case to login. Once my pin was changed to 6 digits it let me login and stay logged in. Once logged in under settings there is an option for pin to be remembered. If this doesn’t work for you call AT&T. The guy stuck with me and figured it out. Hope this helps!”

### 4/5 — Delete and download again if you get locked out

*2021-03-24, version 1.14.0*

I updated the app over the weekend to 1.14.0 and it locked me out. I had to delete the app and download it again (twice) for it to let me log in again.
Overall, it’s a good app. Alerts me whenever I have a voicemail at home, and Reading the transcriptions - still not perfect – are much faster than actually listening to a voicemail.
Deducted one star only because of the access issue. Otherwise highly recommended!

### 4/5 — Works now

*2021-03-22, version 1.14.0*

I gave a 1 because update knocked out access with two iPhones. Now it works because I deleted and re-downloaded. Giving a 4 since update should not kill access.
