Sorry but the current one is unappealing. ### 5/5 — Hya *2018-09-05, version 2.0.4* Truly cheap and helpful. ### 5/5 — Cheap calls to my family *2018-08-29, version 2.0.4* I can call my fanily with really good quality calls. I love hya! ### 1/5 — Rubbish *2018-08-04, version 2.0.4* Scaaaammmm! ### 1/5 — It’s a rip off!! *2018-07-13, version 2.0.2* Earlier of this app the call rate was $19.99 and was informed that it will be £14.99 due to currency differences but it didn’t. They still charged me £19.99, when i emailed them they sayin that it depends on the country where you are? And the latest issue they change the 5000mins valid for 30days for £19.99 into 2000mins? This is a totally rip off!!! Best to stay with fb messenger and no need to purchased credit instead!!! ### 1/5 — Its a rip off *2018-06-02, version 2.0.2* I bought a globe bundle for £19.99 to call my family and just found out that without a data plan or wifi connections you will not be able to used it for calling international. No wonder why i finish my data plan from my network provider because everytime i call iternational its also eating my data plan. I thought you will be able to call and use this app without a wifi connection or data plan now. It should explain on their FAQ this matter so dont buy a credit because you will not be able to used without wifi at home or data plan for outside usage. Its a waste if money there are other app you can used free if need data plan or wifi connections. ### 1/5 — Useless app *2018-05-24, version 2.0.2* I would give 0 star if it was allowed. It work a few times and does not connect anymore. Repeatedly call other globe numbers and could not connect. Wasted £14.90 or 20 dollars, for nothing. ### 1/5 — Poor *2018-05-23, version 2.0.2* Barely could hear the person at the other end of the line ## Frequently asked questions about Hya! ### What does hya! do? hya! is a communication app designed to keep you connected with loved ones globally.
