Too many bugs!

Constant bugs , not reliable, my subscription expired , on the same day it expired i go to renew it and it ripped me off i couldnt use the new subscription, and customer service is non existant, you can only talk to AI which does nothing to help. I prefer using Pinger plus you can use it for free!

Working good so far

Appreciate it thanks for reassurance

Charged Me even though I cancelled before free trial ended.

I’ll never use this app again. I was charged although I cancelled the subscription before the free trial ended.. basically the same day. Stick to the free apps such as TextNow, not this one.

there’s a paywall that they don’t tell you about until downloading wouldn’t recommend

Shouldn’t Have to Wonder If Messages Are Missing

I wanted to share my experience because it hasn’t matched the app’s high ratings.

The app worked fine for about a week, but then messages started failing to send without warning. Someone I had been talking to through the app reached out to me, which is how I realized my messages had not been going through. I replied successfully, but the very next message failed again. My biggest concern is that I have no way of knowing whether this only affects sending or if I’m also intermittently missing incoming messages from other people. That uncertainty is a serious problem for a messaging app.

I tried reporting the bug, but support is limited to an AI assistant unless you submit a support request. The AI asked for diagnostic information, but due to a bug in the iOS app, I couldn’t paste text into either the AI chat or the support form. Tapping the text field simply dismissed the keyboard instead of showing the paste menu. After submitting the request manually, I received an email with a blank subject line that only said “RE:”.

This is a privacy focused messaging app, so technical competence matters. If basic functionality and the support experience have this many issues, it makes me question whether I can trust the service with something as important as my privacy and data security. If these issues are resolved, I’ll gladly update this review, but based on my experience so far, I can’t recommend the app.

FAQ

What does the Burner app do?

Burner provides users with multiple private phone numbers that can be used for calling and sending SMS messages. It allows you to keep your personal number private by using these secondary lines for different contacts or situations, offering control over your communications and boundaries.

How can I organize my contacts with Burner?

You can create separate numbers for different social circles, such as dating, family, or hobbies, to prevent messages from mixing. Each number can be customized with unique labels or settings, and the app features a clutter-free interface with color-coding and search functions to easily manage conversations.

Is Burner a free app?

The app is free to download and offers basic functionality. However, premium features like VPN, audio/video messaging, AI voicemail, and reverse number lookup require a premium subscription. In-app purchases are available for these advanced capabilities.

What are the benefits of using a burner number?

Using a burner number protects your personal phone number from being exposed online, in marketplaces, or to unknown contacts. It allows you to cut off unwanted contact or safeguard your identity by easily burning or swapping numbers when needed, and also offers spam blocking and do-not-disturb features.

What kind of devices is Burner compatible with?

The app description implies it is a mobile application, requiring a Wi-Fi connection or mobile data for its calling and texting features. While specific operating system compatibility isn't detailed, it's designed for smartphone use.
