### 2/5 — Need Fixing

*2019-04-01, version 1.1.2*

This network fails you when you needed it the most! Yesterday been Mother’s Day in Nigeria! It failed to connect I tried all day! Worst is there’s no customer service available to solve this issue! 
I am shopping for another reliable international calling app!

### 2/5 — The app acts weird most times

*2019-02-03, version 1.1.2*

It doesn’t show a definite number all time, it mostly hides caller’s ID and the calling quality is poor.  I hope they improve on that but it’s good because it’s cheap but it’s very far from getting 4 stars from me, I give them 2 stars

### 1/5 — Payment theft

*2018-07-05, version 1.1.2*

This apps theft my payment. I have recharge $4.99 in my account. After i pay the payment amount not using the apps it become $0.

### 5/5 — Best calling rate to Nigeria !!

*2017-12-02, version 1.1.2*

I still don’t understand how these guys did it but this app offers best calling rate to Naija so far. You do have to subscribe to a local Naija Number though. My parents call me on that same local number and my US phone rings. My parents are only charged Nigerian call rates when they call me in the US. That’s the best part.

### 5/5 — Very good quality for Nigeria

*2017-10-12, version 1.1.2*

I call Nigeria on daily bases, and this app does deliver best quality so far! Rates are very cheap compare to other competitors! So if you are like me calling Nigeria on regular bases, this one app must have!
