It lets you save a contact. Write a message. No ability to send, or receive anything. ### 2/5 — Sometimes works sometimes doesn’t *2023-10-12* I have been using this app for a while now, it’s easy to use and is pretty affordable. But very unreliable, and when running a business that is something that is extremely important when following up with or receiving leads from marketing. Sometimes I try to call someone back and it just doesn’t dial. You can get texts from phone numbers that aren’t 10 digits. And you can’t get videos from anyone. Also their customer service doesn’t exist. ### 1/5 — BEWARE TOTAL SCAM *2023-09-28, version 1.2.0* Tracked down their office Empty suite Attorney office said they used it just for registration purposes No support You buy the yearly service then it just keeps having you pay monthly or they say you have no credit to make call or received calls Don’t be fooled Apple is investigating as I have turned over evidence of fraud Hopefully apple with take them off platform so no other victims of the flash fraud ### 1/5 — No Customer Service *2023-08-29* My line constantly drops when making and receiving calls I’ve been billed over and over again No one returns emails And their own customer service number rings busy 24/7 I think flash number is a total Scam Beware !!!! ### 1/5 — Great app, works amazing *2023-08-16, version 1.2.0* Great app, good strong signal ### 1/5 — Please help!!! I renewed my subscription but it ain’t working. *2023-07-27* I renewed my subscription, I was charged but it didn’t work. I having been emailing your customer care for 9 days no response and the subscription is counting already without me using the service. My subscription is already started but I can’t use the service.😢😢 ### 1/5 — Absolutely no customer service *2023-06-22, version 1.2.0* I’ve called, emailed several times to get sorted out. Got new carrier and number and can’t log in because the code goes to my old number, but no help is to be found!!!!!!!!!!!!! If it wasn’t for all my business cards and multiple forms or advertisements I’d just walk away! ### 3/5 — G👍 *2023-05-31, version 1.2.0* 👍👍👍 ### 1/5 — CRASHES IMMEDIATELY UPON DOWNLOAD *2023-03-04, version 1.2.0* CRASHES IMMEDIATELY UPON DOWNLOAD. NEVER SEEN AN APP CRASH SO QUICKLY. WHAT’S THE DEAL WITH THIS? ### 1/5 — Request failed with status code 429 *2023-01-27, version 1.2.0* Wanted to like this, but didn’t even lift off. Moving on I guess. ### 1/5 — Will not allow me to create account *2022-11-24, version 1.1.9* Request failed with status code 429 it says wrong phone number in red writing. My my mobile carrier number is 267-393-3706. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Bad app and fake *2025-05-05, version 1.2.0* Stop sending massages after short time with full payment without answering from app for response, so Its fake . ### 1/5 — SCAM *2025-05-01, version 1.2.0* This app is a scam, I paid for the monthly service and now I can’t get back into the app. I was using this app for my business VOIP number. I deleted the app a than reinstalled to get that I can’t login. I wish I could put the stars in negative! ### 1/5 — Please give me my number or refund my money. *2024-12-11, version 1.2.0* I just created an account only for me to be charged but the number wasn’t given to me, error creating but I was charged. What sort of scam is this ? ### 1/5 — Outgoing calls doesn’t work *2024-09-28, version 1.2.0* The incoming txt and call works as advertised but outgoing calls does not work. There are only 3 items in FAQ and their ‘support’ seems to not work. I’ve created a ticket but heard nothing. So one crucial part doesn’t work AND they don’t seem really interested in helping their customer who has actually paid for a product. ### 1/5 — Did not work for me and my mobile number *2024-09-08, version 1.2.0* I kept receiving a 429 status code error but will keep trying as I need an anonymous phone number for my Craigslist listings ### 1/5 — No longer works *2024-06-04, version 1.2.0* DON'T BOTHER! Used to be pretty solid. Hasn't worked since the last couple iOS updates. Just opens and crashes immediately. No tech support available. No working company email. Hasn't been updated in 2 years! The only thing that works well is their billing engine - billed me twice for the same (non functional) number. Perfect. ### 1/5 — Does not work *2024-05-30, version 1.2.0* I have paid for a month and it does not even work. I can’t even send a message to contact them via app to let them know it does not work. Trash ### 1/5 — Ez to text but no phone calls *2024-04-30, version 1.2.0* I cannot get any outbound calls in spite of what the software says ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2024-01-05, version 1.2.0* Had it for awhile. Just renewed annual subscription last month. now it doesn’t work, no way to contact anyone to get it corrected. I just got ripped off! ### 1/5 — Junk *2024-01-01, version 1.2.0* Would not let me create a number or an account Just kept giving me some error code with no explanation ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great App *2023-10-11, version 1.2.0* To be honest, I have no complaints about this app. You should give it a try. ### 5/5 — Love *2023-06-13, version 1.2.0* Good and fast ### 5/5 — Okay *2023-03-27, version 1.2.0* Okay ### 5/5 — Lovely app *2023-01-06, version 1.1.9* I love it 🥰 ### 5/5 — I love it *2022-11-25, version 1.2.0* I love it ### 5/5 — Love it *2022-11-25, version 1.2.0* Too good ### 5/5 — So fast and very easy to use *2022-11-18, version 1.2.0* I love this app. ### 5/5 — Yay *2022-11-14, version 1.2.0* Awesome ### 5/5 — I love it *2022-10-09, version 1.2.0* I love it ### 5/5 — Great *2022-09-17, version 1.2.0* Great --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
