### 1/5 — Horrible sound and quality!

*2024-03-11*

Man do these developers need to give this app a little TLC… i just finished a phone call on my iphone 13 pro max and we couldnt even see our mom in prison :( ! They could see us but could also barely hear us!!! and not to mention that my app didnt even connect our call when it started, it just keep saying to wait for out call to begin (when it was still 5 mins past our scheduled time) so it was just a very poor phone call at that point… super disappointing so im deleting this app ASAP and only using our PC/laptop for future calls

### 1/5 — Invasion of privacy

*2024-02-19, version 1.2.0*

I’m not the convicted why a app needs every ounce of information from everything you own? Easy pass, poor inmates not knowing it’s a scam!!!!!

### 1/5 — Audio

*2023-11-08*

I can never hear my loved one when they call. They can never hear me when they call. Video quality is very blurry. They need to update this version so we can enjoy seeing are loved ones instead of struggling to communicate with them.

### 1/5 — Terrible!

*2023-10-04, version 1.2.0*

I was able to hear the incarcerated person but it sounded as if they were muffled and far away, they could not hear me at all on my Apple iPhone it was the worst video session ever

### 1/5 — Review

*2023-08-08*

The apps video camera is mirrored and is hard to find a right angle to show itself or other things because of the way the camera is. it needs to be a normal camera and sound quality is low and video quality as well 😞.

### 1/5 — App won’t start

*2023-07-25, version 1.2.0*

Horrible is been a week and won’t let me enter the schedule meeting.

### 1/5 — Simply the worst app in history.

*2023-03-31, version 1.2.0*

The functionality is terrible all around.

### 1/5 — U can barely hear them and they can’t hear

*2023-03-02*

The inmate cannot hear u u need to allow ear buds so it’s better to hear what’s the use of video chat if u have to write on a sheet of paper and hold it up ?? I’m not over acting it’s horrible I would love to hear her when we video chat!!!DO BETTER

### 1/5 — Absolute trash!

*2023-02-14, version 1.2.0*

For the amount of money they charge inmates to use this, it should be better. You can’t use a Bluetooth headset with this app-only headphones with a cable. How is this app so terrible!? It seems like it was written 10 years ago and just left. There is no excuse for technology to be this bad.

### 1/5 — Eh

*2022-08-26, version 1.2.0*

So I have tried this on a laptop, android. And apple iPhone 12 and the volume on test video the lady talks so quiet and volume is full. Video not bad but the sound is horrible. Most of the time you have to do or know sign language because talking isn’t an option. This needs to be fixed ASAP

### 1/5 — Won’t let me run the test!!!

*2022-08-23, version 1.2.0*

Very difficult to set up. It won’t run the test or even take me to the run test message.

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2022-06-20, version 1.2.0*

App doesnt work . One side can see them + hear. The other side sees nothing this app is horrible and needs ton of improvement. Wasted money on a 25 min visit didnt get to say 1 word to each other.

### 1/5 — Trash

*2021-12-12*

This app is complete trash. Out of the 25 minute calls that we are able to call loved ones, maybe half of that will work, and the quality is horrible.  Have to use headphones with a mic for anything audio to work. Bop should be ashamed of paying for this app

### 1/5 — Horrible app

*2021-11-03, version 1.2.0*

Video and voice is choppy and the microphone doesn’t work.

### 1/5 — Update ? Say what!?

*2021-06-30*

So I have a loved one who is incarcerate. 
The picture quality and sound quality have always been less than acceptable but with no other option - even based off use of all the FAQs…I have continue to use the app. 
This week however during a session the app abruptly ends the  session and tells me that I need to do the update in order to continue to use the service. I check: My iOS is up-to-date 
(I ran the video and audio test every time prior to a call session. So I know that was up-to-date 10 minutes before the beginning of the session.).   
I review the information on the current app. It says the last update was well over a year ago…? So I delete it and all of its data and revisit the App Store to download it again thinking I must be in need of a newer version?  

But wait?  What is this? It is the same exact APP, with the same exact year ago last updated information.
If I didn’t know better I would feel like I’m being punished by using this application under the surmise of guilty by association! 

Fix the bugs. This is not an end-user problem. This is a publisher’s issue.  Just bad customer service.  Does anyone know of an alternative platform?  Attention all developers - you have some easy competition here. Because I will be standing in line to sign up For some thing else after a year of this poor service.

### 1/5 — NEW 2.1 VERSION

*2021-06-22, version 1.2.0*

When are you going to put the newer version up? The old 1.2 version no longer works

### 1/5 — App is terrible

*2021-06-15, version 1.2.0*

It really needs an update.

### 1/5 — Bluetooth

*2021-03-27, version 1.2.0*

No funciona con audífonos inalámbricos!!!

### 1/5 — Hey

*2026-03-16, version 1.2.0*

It will not let me log in I have a corrlink account

### 1/5 — Poor quality and can’t hear

*2026-02-14, version 1.2.0*

No matter how many times I adjust and run the test the other party cannot hear me

### 1/5 — Bad service

*2026-01-20*

I’ve been trying to get into my account for at least a year steady uninstalling the app thinking it was me it keep saying that my password is invalid but won’t give me the option to reset the password I have messages that I have in my account I never saw because of this inconvenience

### 1/5 — Truth

*2025-12-23*

I don’t think the app was ever mentioned to be good quality not even the email one. They punish us for the mistakes our love ones make. Believe the poor quality is purposely made. If they could keep them from communicating they would. Is shameful.

### 1/5 — Help with log in

*2025-10-06, version 1.2.0*

Having trouble accessing my account

### 1/5 — Help

*2025-08-28*

I can not create a account idk why I have deleted the app and redownloaded multiple times, but for some reason it’s not allowing me to create account so I’m unable to text back-and-forth

### 1/5 — Garbage

*2025-06-06*

What was wrong with GTL? Besides that people could actually operate it and it worked? Can’t even find a phone number to call for help. My sisters been locked up in Illinois and they recently switched from gtl to corrlinks and I haven’t been able to even see that she’s requested a video chat with me! Absolute garbage because what the prison system gets from the state per inmate isn’t enough to afford a decent operable communication system. I can’t say enough negative at all about this app or the state or the prison system. Just ugh.

### 1/5 — Trash

*2025-01-30, version 1.2.0*

I have an i16 with At&T fiber optic cable and it still won’t work

### 1/5 — AirPods

*2024-11-27, version 1.2.0*

Can’t use AirPods why not surely you should be able to make it happen

### 1/5 — Terrible audio

*2024-05-21*

I’ve had two calls and both times the person could barely hear anything I said.  I tried all of the troubleshooting steps and they did not help.  I’ve never had to use a headset for calls on my iPhone but that’s what is being suggested

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Very Pleased

*2016-07-03, version 1.0*

Thank you for considering those of us without dedicated Windows products. This app worked beyond my wildest expectations. Kudos for helping make the best out of a bad situation.

### 5/5 — Works as advertised

*2016-06-07, version 1.0*

I don't have a windows computer so this is very convenient for me

### 4/5 — You get what you get and don't throw a fit!

*2020-12-15*

The quality of the video is very low, but overall this app is not bad at all. I was so happy to learn that I finally could talk to my child and see her! In country I am from there is no such a thing as video call or  even possibility to call from prison home. I am so glad that all these years I had a chance to communicate with my daughter. Thanks to this app I was able to let her listen her favorite music and audio congratulations from all her relatives on the Birthdays. I make screen shots and share pictures with all who misses her.

### 3/5 — Iphone 11

*2020-11-26*

I have Iphone 11 with ios 14.2, the latest update Corrlinks has is iOS 13 from a year ago. My issue is I can’t get my mic volume to work so that the inmate can hear me. I verified it works by doing a video on my phone. 
The test i run before the chat shows failure. 
Not sure what to do at this point. They have tried to help me to no avail but I seriously think the issue is with needing an iOS update.

### 3/5 — Volume issues

*2020-02-27*

The volume is extremely low can’t hear. This issue needs to be fixed.

### 3/5 — iPhone XR

*2019-03-19, version 1.1.2*

On my xr the I have video but the volume is so low that it sounds like it’s coming from the ear speaker

### 3/5 — Verify your Router

*2018-09-05, version 1.0*

Yes we had the same problem but found our router wouldn’t handle the coding security of the app. We upgraded our router now everything runs smooth including this app

### 2/5 — CorrLinks Video

*2025-09-27*

So I haven’t used CorrLinks Video in a while. I never uninstalled it off of my devices. I have it on two devices, my iPhone, and my iPad unfortunately now my loved one is able to use video again and every time I try to login to do the test it’s telling me that I’m not logging in right I don’t have the right password and then it has in parentheses SE so I don’t know on the app. It doesn’t have a place for me to contact anyone for help. 
I’ve changed the password and it still won’t let me in so I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong can you help?

### 2/5 — Ehh..

*2021-02-09, version 1.2.0*

You cant hear the volume on it and if you turn ur volume up it echoes.

### 2/5 — 😒

*2019-12-16*

This app is extremely convenient when you want to see a loved one, but it’s honestly trash af. The volume is so low you can’t even hear, it literally sounds like it’s coming out of the ear part. Your camera flips your picture, instead of mirroring it, so you have to move your phone all cattywampus for them to even see you. & the app works when it wants. I’ve been trying for the last 15 mins to accept a video chat, but the app keeps closing on itself. ANNOYING!
