### 1/5 — Bell please help us to pay for a good application

*2023-07-21*

This application really need an update. 
Why we can’t use this application in background
We can’t use when iPhone is locked 
Not able to use wifi when the network is poor
Do I need to switch with Telus to be able to receive my PTT call?

### 1/5 — Find something else

*2022-04-18*

Worst service ever. Keeps disconnecting while in conversation

### 1/5 — Accessibility settings

*2021-07-26*

This app has no accessibility settings as far as I can see. No way to change font sizes. And it doesn’t adopt the accessibility settings currently in use on the device. This is a problem that needs fixed ASAP. It seriously harms the apps usability for a wide and growing demographic. Bell, Please address this.

### 2/5 — Works okay but the location requirement is crap

*2020-08-26*

Location services isn’t optional, it’s a requirement. Fix your description.

Another great app ruined by Bell.

### 1/5 — Garb

*2017-12-16*

Absolute garbage, where's my refund it keeps repeating the sign up process devouring my data

### 1/5 — Ne fonctionne plus

*2017-10-28*

Je ne suis plus capable de recevoir des appels depuis la dernière mise à jour de l’application vers ios11. Cependant moi, je suis capable de faire des appels. Fonctionne seulement sur le wifi. Pas très pratique si nous n’avons pas de wifi... avant cette mise à jour tout fonctionnait très bien...

### 1/5 — Drains battery

*2017-10-03*

Sound is too low on speakerphone and drains Iphones battery in half a day.
If Iphone os on mute, it still rings.

### 4/5 — Good.....but

*2017-02-04*

Great app....however it does kill your iPhone battery quickly. You will need a battery case to use continuously through out the day.  PLEASE MAKE AVAILABLE ON THE IWATCH.

### 1/5 — Update Sept 2, 2016

*2016-09-02*

App updated today and now does not work on my iPhone 6S Plus with the wifi on. Although it keeps telling me it would work better if wifi was on. Had this problem before a few updates ago. Quit changing things! It seems to get worse!

### 2/5 — PTT-iPhone 6s

*2016-05-06*

Finally got the app to work with iPhone 6s, but drains the battery very fast. Can't leave app on unless plugged in. Developer needs to work on this... Other then that the app runs well
