Quirky.

This app is quite quirky. I found myself dialling the same number in two separate instances simultaneously and calls dropped frequently.

Great stuff!

An old friend recommended Fongo to me a few years ago and it's the only app I've used for calling since.

I love it!

I wish there was a way to add money/check balance for international calls though.

Thank you Fongo!

Great calling service

Very nice enjoy it

Ads before calling 911

Need to call an ambulance for my mom on mother’s day. Got hit with a video ad of Jon Hamm for skip the dishes while watching her be unable to breath. So that was fun.

Fongo incroyable

Ça va faire une dizaine d’années avec Fongo Le meilleur

Good

It’s good but one problem they just don’t let you text unless you have the subscription and I’ve been using Fongo and it’s like my default calling app besides WhatsApp so I do recommend it but watch up for the texting subscription

Poor

Many Dropped incoming calls! Really bad SPAM ads and calls!!!

My lifeline

An excellent platform for communicating with family and friends. Calls are clear and free of static or echo making both parties sound close by.

give me an explanation

why i am still receiving the advertising of if i already paid ?

Super pratique merci

Un gros merci 🙏🏼

Best phone app

Best phone app basic but does the job for international travel and kids …

Cool

Unreliable

Too many missed calls (randomly never rings!). Frequently and at random won’t connect/authenticate, so I can’t make or receive calls or texts. Drops when switching between cellular and wifi.

I understand the need for ads, but they’ve become excessive. Even when buying a text message package, there are a ton of ads.

Support isn’t very good. They don’t understand the issue, give incorrect instructions, and take days to reply.

UI is ancient and frustrating.

I’d give it 1 star except when it does work, the free plan is decent.

Worst phone app

This is about the worst VOIP app I have had the displeasure of trying to use.
Support is non-existent. Basically auto reply bots that send the same info as in the website that doesn’t resolve the problem.
I was trying to buy Canadian but I am fed up with the extremely poor experience. Highly advise to stay away.

Amazing

It works really well,and it's free.

Disappointing

I had high hopes for this Canadian app but so many things are wrong. Both incoming and outgoing calls disconnected 9 x out of 10. Not getting texts, etc. They offer workarounds instead of actually fixing the bugs. I’m not a techie, get your staff to fix the bugs.

Call will drop when they load ads

It’s terrible. Keeping me from paying a decent price.

i got to power off my phone to get rid of ads that totally block the keypad and no X is visible

some ads fill the screen , but there is no way to get rid of it… i dont mind an ad with an “X”, but the full screen with no x, google said you have to totally turn off your phone and restart… booooo … bad fongo

Sucks

They “updated” to exclude any phone below iOS 16.0.
You guys just lost a customer.

Horrible

I’ve been using this app for the past 10 years at least and for the past 10 years that has been crashing on regular basis I’ve been hoping that it will soon get reliable update. AI can build a better than this trash. And they have also removed my app purchases.
