### 1/5 — Constant issues

*2024-04-14*

Phone doesn’t always ring when a call is coming through. App logs me out without notice and I miss calls. Can’t send texts or do conferencing only calls due to a “temporary server issue”. It’s not temporary, it’s permanent. Absolute rubbish.

### 1/5 — Andrew

*2023-12-18, version iOS version 23.4.20*

Absolutely more trouble than it’s worth

### 2/5 — Basic feature missing

*2023-11-15*

When a contact calls you, it displays only their initials. With hundreds of contacts in the directory it is impossible to know who is calling you.

If the app is not open then incoming calls show only the phone number and no contact information.

### 1/5 — What…..

*2023-09-22*

It was hard work before, but what in the mess is this new update. Let’s find the most difficult way possible to navigate, then see what we can do from there. Blimey.

### 1/5 — Not fit for purpose

*2023-05-19*

Falls over regularly making random beeping noises. what should be a flexible voip phone system is instead a cavalcade of calling back and apologising for the state of your phone system. Four years of updates have yet to change this basic problem.

### 1/5 — Features don’t work

*2022-10-14*

You try and change things like opening hours.  That’s fine but you still get phone calls and it doesn’t do anything.  

It has one star as you can phone on it, but thats about it.  Old software technology from BT.  Wonderful.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2022-08-03*

Doesn’t tell you people have called, only way to tell you’ve been rang is the app has a red notification spot. BT seem to think it’s working fine 🙃

### 2/5 — Not the best, but okay ish

*2022-06-28*

Frequently drops calls but okay as long as the wifi is good. Doesn’t like working on 4G.  The latest update has made the keypad so small on an iPhone my husband’s sausage fingers keep hitting the wrong numbers. Why did they have to “fix” something that was not broke?

### 1/5 — Why try to be better when you’re best at being awful

*2022-06-17*

Just an absolutely awful experience app has a significant battery drain on my device call drop consistently or cut out mid conversation slow clunky gui terrible functionality but it’s BT so of course I expect the worst experience

### 1/5 — Awful - use another VOIP option

*2022-02-03*

App is rubbish on the phone, no SMS options and will not cut & paste numbers from phone/calendar. Premium prices charged for institutionally rubbish company. Bring back Busby because this modern BT service is garbage.

### 1/5 — BT Cloud App

*2021-07-23*

What used to be a great app is ruined. Used to be easy to do things like change a ring order but now that option is buried away in a menu system you have to drill down through. Stop changing things for the sake of change. Poor show BT.

### 2/5 — Works - kinda

*2021-07-14*

Very handy when it’s working properly but glitchy and clunky. Expect nothing better from the horrendous BT though so no surprises.

### 1/5 — Awful

*2021-05-13, version 21.1.21*

Absolute rubbish

### 1/5 — Same issue as other users, network unavailable even though I’m connected to the BT Wi-Fi

*2020-10-14, version 20.3*

Important calls just drop out and say ‘network unavailable’. Once this happens there is no way of getting the call back.

### 1/5 — Rubbish App

*2020-09-16, version 20.2.30*

Worse app ever lucky to get 1 star

### 1/5 — Logging out constantly

*2020-08-26, version 20.2.30*

Rather useless as it keeps logging out.

### 1/5 — Rubbish on Wi-Fi

*2020-08-07, version 20.2.30*

Disconnects when on Wi-Fi and loses the call and you can’t pickup from another handset. Trying to escalate with BT seems impossible. The Yeo link handsets work great but they use DECT to talk to base station so they work fine.

### 1/5 — App keeps going offline when mobile is on

*2026-01-28*

App keeps going offline when mobile is on

### 1/5 — Worst app ever

*2025-11-21, version 25.3.20*

Never works properly

### 1/5 — Doesn't have spell/ grammar check on chat shows offline when u come out of the app on desktop

*2025-10-08, version 25.3.20*

Doesn't have spell/ grammar check on chat shows offline when u come out of the app

### 1/5 — Very basic and outdated

*2025-09-30*

The app is good in principle, but it requires significant improvement. At present it feels very basic and is missing a number of essential features. While the concept has potential, there are far more capable alternatives available on the market.

### 1/5 — Doesn't have spell/ grammar check on chat

*2025-08-23, version 25.2.20*

Doesn't have spell/grammar check on chat

### 1/5 — Poor

*2025-06-15*

Very difficult to use

### 1/5 — Hard to use

*2025-01-12*

Not streamlined

### 1/5 — Awful and costing us business

*2024-11-19*

There is such a delay when on a call with someone it is impossible to hold a conversation. This is if you even get to the connection stage. I cannot put into words how bad this app is.

### 1/5 — Hopeless

*2024-08-08*

Way to complicated to even change ring order for staff

### 1/5 — Keep Changing System Not An Improvement

*2024-06-21*

This system has lost us business because they keep changing the menu for Extension Setttings - now you must keep adding a rule and then only 15 rings max and must go to another number?? What about if you don’t have enough different numbers to ring??? It gets in a loop and the caller cannot get through to you at all. Tried to watch videos on Ring Central - awful audio, could hardly understand what they were saying (American Accent) and it didn’t help at all. Dreading when copper has gone - the internet in not reliable in the whole of the UK especially if you don’t live in a City!!

### 5/5 — Great phone

*2025-01-31*

Smooth and well built does what it says on the tin .. great tool to drive business

### 5/5 — All the functionality I need.

*2023-06-08*

Great being able to change account settings from within the app.

### 5/5 — 124

*2021-03-25*

Ett

### 5/5 — BT app

*2019-11-04, version 19.3.2 (51.19.32.3)*

As I use the app to take message from two cloud phones ( as I can’t answer calls whilst working), I can get my messages remotely from none place at any time or get my PT admin assistant to access them at any time wherever she is. I needed a bit of help initially to get the set up right, but the help line was good.

### 5/5 — The best thing to happen to office phones

*2019-11-03, version 19.3.2 (51.19.32.3)*

This app is very easy to use, but very powerful 

The best thing is BT will help you set it all up with training calls and a help desk to ring at any time 

Upgrade your phones to the new internet phone systems from BT, it’s the way forward.

### 5/5 — Great communication

*2019-09-26, version 19.2*

I love this, we have had a lot of different phones and I can honestly say this is the best. We have a business and we never have to miss a phone call like we use to.
Amazing Thank You

### 5/5 — Top App

*2019-07-04, version 19.2*

Top App 

Couldn’t live without it. Is so flexible to my business needs.

Auto receptionist is a great feature to set opening hours !

And the greeting system is to when costumers come through to us !

With a great transfer system integrated to any number you like !

Couldn’t live without it !

It’s literally changed my life 😛

### 5/5 — Back up to app on pc

*2019-04-23, version 11.0.0.5.228*

We us the app over 3 mobiles to supplement our office based (pc app) system. 
Works almost flawlessly for us. 
App does, like all voip, require a reasonable signal with 3 or 4G to function without fault. 
Great for posing as being in the office when you could actually be anywhere in the world.

### 5/5 — Really good technology BT Cloud has given us wings

*2019-01-28, version 10.3*

Our business has operated BT cloud for the last year and have found it to be a great benefit. 

We no longer need to be in an office to receive a call to our landline and any of our operatives can receive a call giving live support. 

If no one takes a call the message service cuts in and we are alerted. 

The system has given us wings to be more efficient and flexible.

### 5/5 — Fantastic communication tool!

*2018-10-08, version 10.2.0*

Since updating our telephone system to BT Cloud Phone I can honestly say the speed of communication between the partners in the company has been outstanding!
We are all in different places in the world with our business and with the BT app I can contact each partner immediately or have a conference call with both.
Being able to do this speeds up the decision and execution process of tasks.
Highly recommend BT Cloud Phone to give a small and young company the professional edge that large companies have with larger teams!!!
