Apple killed it

Only works when the app is open. Apple killed background VoIP and this app has no work around.

Ужасно сырое приложение

Аккаунты не сохраняются. Если при вводе ошибся, все приходиться делать с самого начала. Всё кажется настроил, через время раз и исчез аккаунт. Приходиться заново всё вводить. Лучше вообще не выпускать никаких приложений, чем такое.

Every time AO starts jt offer to sign in to linphone services

Ended when started. Started setting up custom sip account, but every time the app switches, starts or saves, it leads to login to Linphone service with their account.
