Horrible
Sick of this app
Worst app ever

We pay All this money jus to not be able to use it
Worst app EVER
Does not work
Does not work ; Update May 2026; update Oct 2026
Update - *Most* of the time it will connect now, but it crashes/disconnects frequently. When this happens, it logs you out and will not allow you to rejoin your visit in progress. I stand by
My earlier conclusion that this app does not work.
Although I have 300+ Mbps up and 200+ Mbps down, the app keeps insisting that I have less than 64 kbps and won’t connect. Also, it is impossible to select the correct institution because all 38 options say the same thing. Unfortunately, this app is the only option we have to communicate with our child. And it never works.
Very Sad But True
• Monopoly Protection: ICSolutions ( a Keefe Company owned by TKC Holdings, which is controlled by the Miami-based private equity firm H.I.G. Capital ) holds exclusive, multi-year contracts with correctional facilities. Because families of incarcerated individuals have no alternative provider to choose from, the company faces zero market pressure or loss of revenue due to poor app quality.
• Low Maintenance Cost: Leaving an unmaintained app on the App Store costs the company very little, whereas investing in a full software overhaul or modern interface requires dedicated engineering resources they choose not to spend.
• Compliance with Jail Contracts: Many facility contracts require ICSolutions to provide an iOS option on paper, regardless of how poorly it performs. Keeping the app downloadable satisfies the technical checkbox of the contract.
• Captive Audience Dynamics: Families desperate to communicate or fund accounts will often cycle through workarounds (like using mobile browsers or switching devices) rather than giving up, meaning the company still captures fees despite software bugs.
