### 2/5 — Apple killed it

*2026-06-05, version 6.2.0*

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

### 1/5 — Very buggy on iOS

*2026-01-05, version 6.0.2*

Non-Linphone accounts are constantly deleted, error out, and drop connections

### 1/5 — Actively hostile to 3rd party providers

*2025-12-17, version 6.0.2*

When you try to setup a 3rd party sip provider every time you switch apps to get login details it clears out your info making it impossible to setup on one device

### 2/5 — Rough and unfinished

*2025-11-24, version 6.0.2*

Basic things like setup are unnecessarily difficult. If your settings are wrong, your account vanishes for no reason. During setup as you switch away to cut and paste a password, it forgets everything on the setup screen when you come back. Nobody at the company who makes this uses this.

### 1/5 — Disaster

*2025-11-09, version 6.0.2*

What a mess, new version deleted all my previous config 🤯😡 zero zero zero

### 1/5 — Freezes on startup screen on iOS 26 on iPhone 17 Pro

*2025-10-29, version 6.0.2*

Just moved from iPhone 14 Pro to 17 Pro. App freezes on startup screen (logo screen). Please urgently check and provide update!

### 2/5 — проблемы

*2025-09-28*

### 1/5 — Stupid update

The worst update you can made to normal working app. Now it’s slow and inoperable.

### 1/5 — Only logo-splash screen

*2026-08-14, version 6.2.2*

After the most recent update as of now, only see the splash screen with the orange logo, lacking any obvious progress.

(I am using it under “Lockdown” mode. Some previous versions (not noted) had worked fine in that mode.)

### 1/5 — The login doesn't work

*2026-07-20*

Login via the SIP server isn't working. After entering the information and tapping the login button, nothing happens.

### 1/5 — Non-functional

*2026-07-14, version 6.2.1*

It used to work a few years ago and then they layout changed and then the settings and everything changed and it stopped working properly

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2026-07-06, version 6.2.0*

It only really works if you allow them to push you to their own services, else is is TORTURE

### 1/5 — Ужасно сырое приложение

*2026-05-30*

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.

### 1/5 — Não funciona no 16e

*2026-05-20, version 6.0.3*

App fica apenas em uma tela com a logo, não esta funcionando no 16e

### 1/5 — Треш

*2026-05-07*

Просто невозможно зарегистрироваться. Разработчики альтернативно одаренные, слов нет, одни эмоции

### 1/5 — Every time AO starts jt offer to sign in to linphone services

*2026-04-11, version 6.0.3*

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.

### 1/5 — Unusable

*2026-02-17, version 6.0.3*

Unfortunately the app doesn’t remember parameters of third party accounts and forces to fill all parameters again and again after log out. When switching on proxy the app resets all parameters. It is strange because app for Linux desktops works pretty well wit the same account parameters. Deleted from my phone.

### 1/5 — Funktioniert nicht mehr

*2026-02-01, version 6.0.2*

startet nicht mehr nach Update, vorher ging keine Nummernwahl, man kann nicht mehr telefonieren. Unterirdisch, bitte nachbessern!!!!

### 5/5 — Very good app

*2026-08-05, version 6.2.1*

Excellent app. Need to know the configuration settings and how to enter into app. Literacy and numeracy skills required, learnt in primary school.

### 5/5 — Look! your Storage!

*2026-05-31, version 6.0.3*

3 days，Use 80G Storage!

### 5/5 — Dark theme

*2026-04-23, version 6.0.3*

Add a dark theme, and you can change the sent text!

### 5/5 — Good update needs refinement

*2025-09-20, version 6.0.1*

Some settings that are expected per profile are actually in a different universal spot, such as SRTP. This works for me but it would be better to designate encryption per profile instead of system wide. 

UI:
Return default view number pad when making a call. As one would expect from a phone 

Audio;
The normal (non speakerphone) audio picks up everything, even the slightest shuffling of papers, breathing, etc. Usual iPhone phone calls aren’t this sensitive. Assume there is some noise cancelling that isn’t enabled. 

Optional;
Have advanced option to edit Linphone.rc directly in iOS app.

Otherwise it looks very good and happy to see new development!!

### 5/5 — Exceptional SIP client

*2025-09-13, version 6.0.0*

All functionality works consistently and like a charm

### 5/5 — Thank you for this great app

*2025-07-10, version 5.2.7*

### 5/5 — Work like charm
