I tried changing the region of the Apple Store and then purchase the world Fongo app which require a new account and can’t transfer my phone number too. I’m not sure why people are giving this app positive reviews . Nothing works with big hassle switching regions and wasting money. ### 1/5 — scam app？ *2025-07-13, version 2025.7* I can not even register an account after pay the money… ### 1/5 — Please update! *2025-07-05, version 2025.7* I just bought this and I can’t even register… ### 1/5 — Useless *2025-06-26, version 2025.7* Useless app don’t you ever download this…. I just registered and account and I was asked to sign in it says unable to sign in ### 2/5 — App Just Stopped Functioning *2025-05-29, version 2025.5.1* Please is any one else getting a message to reinstall the latest version in order to be able to login? I go to AppStore and find there is no new release and yet I keep getting this message. I deleted my app and re-downloaded; only to get the same notification. At first, I thought I am forgetting my Password and go ahead to change password successfully, but still can’t log in. What is going on Fongo? This is not cool! Update: I sent a complaint email and got support. Apparently, my account was suspended cause I had recently called a particular number multiple times. Now I will be aware of that. Thankfully, my account has been reinstated. I’m glad Fongo has been responsive through this. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Doesn't work *2026-05-03, version 2026.5.1* Just doesn't work. Asked for a refund from Apple. ### 1/5 — Charged me. Did not provide service. *2026-04-06, version 2026.4* I purchased 1 month of texting. They instead charged me then sent a message, "Due to higher than normal volume fulfillment of your purchase is delayed. Your purchase will be fulfilled shortly." -- what is shortly? 5 minutes? An hour? A day? Don't charge the customer if you cannot fulfill the order... ### 1/5 — Not working *2026-04-05* Don’t download. **Developer response:** Sorry to hear about your poor experience with our app. Please visit the support section within your Fongo app for help/contact options: (Menu - Account - Support) - Or escalate your case by DMing us on you preferred social media @fongo_mobile (mention that you have been referred by "CD") ### 1/5 — Not working *2026-03-26, version 2026.3.1* The number is considered forbidden when I use it. I’d like a refund but not getting any. Company reps please contact me and resolve this issue! ### 1/5 — Can’t receive calls *2026-03-17, version 2026.3.1* They still have some work to do on this app. Making calls works fine, but unless you are in the app actively you can’t answer incoming calls. I tried all their debugging steps but nothing worked. It’s a shame because the price is good. If they fix the app I’d consider it again, but as it stands it’s not a replacement for a normal Canadian phone plan. ### 1/5 — It isn’t working *2026-03-09* Shibal it isn’t working refund now **Developer response:** Sorry to hear about your poor experience with our app. Please visit the support section within your Fongo app for help/contact options: (Menu - Account - Support) - Or escalate your case by DMing us on you preferred social media @fongo_mobile (mention that you have been referred by "CD") ### 1/5 — Can’t register *2025-12-04, version 2025.12* The registration doesn’t work. Customer support is useless. And they charge you for this! ### 1/5 — Scam app *2025-10-30, version 2025.11* I paid for the app and I have been trying to download it and it’s not working I just downloaded other apps now and still they will just take your money don’t pay for service you won’t even receive. Refund me now!!! ### 1/5 — You just sign me out *2025-10-20, version 2025.10.1* Kindly send me email I don’t understand why you just signed me out.. I need you to revisit this issue or refunds my $5 …. ### 1/5 — Unable to register after purchase *2025-10-07* I’m unable to register my account after the purchase! Seems like it’s a scam app **Developer response:** Sorry to hear about your poor experience with our app. Please visit the support section within your Fongo app for help/contact options: (Menu - Account - Support) - Or escalate your case by DMing us on you preferred social media @fongo_mobile (mention that you have been referred by "CD") ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Don’t think twice before using it *2026-06-12* I was bit skeptical before using Fongo but believe me it is very useful when you are travelling and need connectivity at lowest cost. **Developer response:** Thank you for your 5 star review! Refer your family & friends - you both get free stuff! Link: fongo.help/fm-refer ### 5/5 — preislich super und funktioniert mit allen Apps *2026-06-09* Ich nutz hier die Nummer schon länger. Vor allem weil WhatsApp keine Privatsphäre hat. Fongo als Zweit Nummer nur für WhatsApp und halt andere Apps super. Mir selbst reicht ja in Deutschland das SMS Abo da völlig aus. Und für 2,50€ im Monat total günstig. Kann ich nur weiter empfehlen ✨ **Developer response:** Thank you for your 5 star review! Refer your family & friends - you both get free stuff!

Great app and much needed. Thank you! ### 5/5 — Parfait *2026-04-11* Rapide et efficace pour obtenir un numéro canadien, et je n’ai rencontré aucun problème d’utilisation. **Developer response:** Thank you for your 5 star review!

Link: fongo.help/fm-refer ### 5/5 — Very efficient *2026-03-23, version 2026.3.1* It’s working perfectly fine no problem so far hopefully it will stay that way ### 5/5 — Affordable & Amazing! *2025-06-27* This is such a great app for just a one time fee of a little over $6.00! When I left Canada and then suddenly couldn’t access my bank account because of the switch to the 2 step verification system that needs a Canadian number I decided to try this app! It worked! What a life saver! Since this app is made in Waterloo Ontario, I am guessing that team of Waterloo Uni students were involved in its creation? Great job! ### 5/5 — Best *2025-06-12* Best ### 5/5 — Rafi *2025-05-20, version 2025.5.1* Super --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
