No iPadOS API allowing Voice as default calling app?!

So TextNow has a fully functional API that allows its users to make it the default calling app on their iPad…why can’t you guys do the same?? I love this app snd I have something invested in the # but I’m really considering swapping TextNow simply because they have the API that allows their app to be selected as my default calling app…it’s pretty compelling..

Multi-Delete for Spam Calls

Not having an option too multi-delete Spam Calls in 2026 is crazy work.
This should be able to be done through the app not having to go on a desktop computer especially since this app IS FOR PHONE CALLS

Disappointed new version

It is ridiculous that I cannot see the exact number I called in the cal history. It shows only the caller’s name, even for some strange numbers. When you click the name, old version would show the number but new version doesn’t.

Cruel- number deleted

Deleted my number without even contacting me. Oh my gosh. I had it for several years. They shouldn't email because I can go to spam. They need to call, text, get a response. Don't just delete us! Please

Broken App

I don’t owe Google a photo of your government ID just because I want a phone-forwarding/VoIP number.

I don’t owe Google a phone number to GET a VoIP number.

Thanks for nothing.

Can’t set as a calling app on iPhone!

I keep missing calls not sure why but call go to voicemail without ringing.

Add option to use as default calling app in 2026!

Also for calls to come in to Apple Watch when using WiFi and mobile data…

Terrible

Sucks

Fake Verification Process

I was never able to get a number despite having my email address for years and having had a number in the past. Consistently failed ID verification (Google took the pics via their mobile verification process so idk why they were blurry). Pretty sure they never intended to give me a number, just to collect my ID to feed their AI. Disappointing that this is where we are.

Edit: Dev responded but dodged my comments, citing a rule about needing to identify someone. My concerns were not that they were IDing, but that they were failing and collecting over and over again. Other entities don’t do the same thing. I’ve had other VOIP numbers, never the trouble I do with Google. If you want to respond, please respond to the actual concern. I will not be modifying my review, and I would like to know if you’re feeding images of my license to your AI.

VERY SLOW!!!!

VERY SLOW!!!!

BUGGY. probably worst amount of bugs for a decade and counting

literally tapping buttons doesn’t work half of the time. it’s been this way for over a decade. And on over four different iPhones. The latest bug is that when somebody is calling and I want to decline it by tapping the red button it does not respond to that. so my phone just keeps ringing and ringing. Pretty annoying. I know it’s not like that on android at all. for whatever reason Google just makes a terrible app for the iPhone.

Want to delete the phone number they gave me

Hello, I just want to delete the phone number they gave me you have my permission to go in there and remove it. I see no option to remove it. I did not go forward with the verification because I did not like that phone number, but if you can, please remove the phone number thank you.

MsB

This worked for about a week then it would not allow me to use for my business so I did not give out personal information

Keeps saying “try later”

No matter what I try, this app won’t work for me. I pick a number, it returns to the home screen with a message saying “something went wrong, try again later”. I’ve removed the app, waited days, trying multiple times and it just doesn’t work for me.

Slow

Extremely slow. You click and the app just spins and spins and spins. Also lacks a “mark as unread” feature which is super frustrating.

They locked me out. And now I can’t find my account number. I had so many contacts with this number.

All gone because Google is the worst company on the planet. We keep using their BA because we have to. And they know it. I hope you know Google. We are going to come for you one day. Playing games with our lives is just what you wanted.

Sucks now.

Since id verification is now mandatory the app is nerfed. No i am not giving this to you. It is a 4th amendment violation.

Even under free version you can’t even use it for text messages now. Going back to freebe burner numbers.

Most if not all of this app is one big paywall scam now.

Lousy sms interface!

Used Google Voice for more than a decade on android and iPhone because I ported my mobile number to the Google porting service. But the features are limited, have not evolved, and the SMS interface sucks. Cannot even directly reply to a text in this app. So looking for sms alternatives that will integrate with the other Google services

Don’t use this app

Don’t use this app to many bugs and needs fixing

ID VERIFICATION

No way in yall rabbit mind would you think I would upload my id.. Don’t waste yall time on this app.

Used to be good

Google updated the app and now their are a lot of error messages when trying to send outgoing text messages. They also now have a paid version. Not worth the frustration with the updates. I would stay clear of this app!
