User reviews

Simple and easy to use

I’m 99 and this has changed the way I connect with family. So much easier than the phone

So simple to use

We’ve never had much success setting up video calls with Bill. It ends up being more discouraging than beneficial. Dossy is the first positive experience we’ve had connecting digitally & Bill is now initiating calls himself! So good. Highly recommend.

My mum can now call me ♥️

Thanks so much for considering the elderly in this design. It’s so wonderful that I can finally talk to mum so easily 🙏
