I used to be a big fan of this App, but…

Recently, we returned to Verizon cellular services, and not only were we looking forward to getting a premiere cellular connections we were also looking forward to being able to continue to us the proprietary text messaging Application +Messenger.
+Messenger had so many unique features that other text applications that couldn’t compete. And even better than having these great features, they were easy to use and simple to implement!
However, it’s been close to a week since we switched over, and although I was able to upgrade from a Google Pixel 2 to a Google 8, I’ve had nothing but headaches trying to get the App to work properly; and my better-half’s iPhone seems to be easier for her than the +Messenger App I’ve been raving to her about for months, since we first considered switching back to Verizon.
In conclusion, +Messenger has been a disappointment and I am now seriously considering reverting back to the iPhone’s and Google text Apps, rather than Verizon’s formerly great +Messenger. I can’t honestly, in good faith recommend this App to anyone other than to someone as an April fool’s joke.

Does Not Work Correctly

The apps features for the most part work fine however its constantly acting like it does not know location when it has access to location services and it ÅLWAYS disables calling once the app is closed, one of the main reasons i got the Ipad Pro was so I wouldnt have to use my phone very much but this app rarely ever works the way it is suppose to its also delayed on message delivery. To me it seems more like an information collecting app then a useful communication tool. If you are looking for an app that will link with your phone you can use to make calls with I”d just avoid this app and not bother with it as its a complete failure in that aspect. The bug reporting feature on it is useless as well as they never fix any bugs. If i could i would give this app zero stars but since 1 is the min thats what it gets.

Six hours of my life wasted with Verizon support agents.

We purchased two identical iPad Pro 10.5’s in Dec 2017. Neither has cellular service and both have the Message+ app. We’ve been with Verizon as our cell carrier since it’s inception. Since we’d gotten our iPads, we’ve used Messenger+ without any problems whatsoever. Starting in mid=December, for some unknown reason, my iPad can no longer receive incoming text messages on Message+. I can SEND texts just fine, but cannot receive them. My wife’s iPad functions perfectly with Message+. The last conversation that I had with Verizon support ended with the agent telling me that the app had been discontinued and therefore will no longer work at all. After ending the call, I promptly sent then received Message+ texts on my wife’s iPad.

Not the end of the world, but certainly frustrating and hardly an endorsement for Verizon Message+ and their off-shore support. Pathetic.

Was great on Samsung, but not on iPhone

I liked Message+ for my Samsung galaxies. It worked like a dream and I like knowing that my messages had been delivered or if they were in limbo. Message+ did not help me on iPhone: when I migrated my contacts, the two people I text most often couldn't be found anywhere in Message+ even though I have long conversations in iMessage. I have my group texts, other individuals that I rarely text, but not my two favorites who are also my ICE contacts. I do Google search to solve the problem and I can't find anything that matches what I'm looking for in the results. Even Verizon chat room doesn't quite understand what the problem is and doesn't give me results that help me restore access to those two people, who I call and text the most of everybody. I wanted an alternative to iPhone messaging because I don't like that very much and there's no information about individual texts.

Don’t waste your time.

Verizon should be ashamed. They don’t seem to care about making this app work top notch. Look at all the poor reviews that go back years. I downloaded this app onto my knew iPad mini 6. I thought it would be a great way to basically be able to use my mini as an alternate method to text and call via my Verizon account if I don’t have my phone with me at the time. The app just keeps failing . Some calls never go through or if they do they are poor quality. I frequently noticed that when I got a call on my main phone I never get any notification or ring tone on the iPad despite the fact that the app on my iPad is supposed to be paired with my primary Verizon phone number. Text going out or coming in are slow to arrive. And, most of all I need to constantly need to rest the app on the iPad by pairing it again with my primary phone number on my phone. This seems to happen constantly after a day or two of not using the app on the iPad.
