Outgoing calls failed

Basically trash and only getting 50% of outgoing calls to work. I fear incoming calls are failing for potential customers also. Now I'm stuck with it since I don't wanna wait forever, 7 days, for the number to port to cricket wireless. It's a business line and I can't afford this bs.

Response from developer

Hi, I'm sorry to hear that you're having issues making calls using our mobile app. If you haven't done so already, please email support@numberbarn.com and we'll help get to the bottom of this with you. If you choose to port instead, we can help with that too. ~Jeremy

Updates incredible

I have been using number barn for three years now, somewhat begrudgingly because I live internationally. But the updates to the app are incredible. It works so much better! It will allow me to stay in better contact with people. Thank you.

Response from developer

Hi, it great to hear that the updates to our mobile app are working well for you. Thanks for a wonderful review. If issues arise in the future, don't hesitate to let our support team know. We always do our best to prioritize customer feedback when making updates and changes to our app.

Recent update fixed things

I wrote to support about the app taking forever to load and they recently updated things. This update was a game changer! Now it opens very quickly, and I can easily see who has called and what text messages I received. Exactly the functionality I was looking for really grateful for the Support and Dev teams.

Hey DrumminDan, thanks for the feedback. We just addressed this loading issue with the app in version 2.1.4. Please load the new version and let us know if the app continues to be unresponsive. Update August 10, 2026 - We're so glad to hear that the new update fixed the issues you were having. Thanks for checking back in!

NEVER LOADS

This app never loads, you have to delete it from your phone and redownload it only to be able to use it then have to repeat the process again the next day. Might as well port your number out.

Response from developer

Hi Fa'ro, sorry to hear your having trouble loading the app. We did address an issue in version 2.1.3 so customers could more easily switch between multiple accounts in the app. Try installing the new version and see if this issue persists. Please feel free to contact support@numberbarn.com and we can do some more troubleshooting with you as well. We want to make sure the app works well for you.

Extremely unstable

Worst app I’ve ever used. I have to constantly reload it to make it work. It fails to send texts and won’t allow me to send them without logging off and back in again. Definitely dumping this service. Extremely frustration junk. Should be illegal!!!!!

Response from developer

Hi, thank you for your feedback and sorry about the issues accessing our app. We do have a couple of thoughts here. First, we did have an issue with our service a couple of days ago that may have caused this issue. That has since been resolved and hopefully has the app working better for you. Additionally we published version 2.1.2 of our app this week to address some performance issues with calling. Try updating your app to the latest version and hopefully you'll find that it's working better. Our chief concern is that we get the app working well for you. Please feel free to contact support@numberbarn.com and let us know if issues persist. We'll work with you. Update: May 12, 2026 - I see that you edited your review. We have version 2.1.3 that's nearing publish and will address issues with logging out and back in. If you find yourself switching accounts often and logging in and out this can be tricky and require removing and re-adding the app. But this will improve shortly. Again, please reach out to support and let's start a dialog as we continue to improve our app.

NOT a reliable (or helpful) app

I’ve experienced the same issues others have reported. Since the last update, playing a voice mail will not mark it as read, and messages will NOT delete. I have a growing number on the icon of “new” items. They are not new - they won’t delete or update!! I’m going to look for another number parking solution.

Thank you for your feedback. We just released a new version of our app to address the issues with voicemail and messages not being marked as read. You should notice that the badge icon message count works better with our latest update as well. Please feel free to reach out to our support team any time at support@numberbarn.com. We are actively working to improve our app.

Never receive texts until hours later

This is very basic and you can’t even respond to texts with any emojis. It doesn’t work well with iPhones and never receive notifications whenever I do get a text. Messages that are time sensitive for log in purposes don’t arrive on time so defeats the purpose I need it while overseas. It needs a whole upgrade.

Response from developer

Hi, thank you for your feedback. We've made some recent upgrades to our app to improve the notification badge when new messages are received. We welcome you to check it out and let us know if you have any thoughts.

Serious security issues. Spyware is made inside this app

Screw this

Not Dependable

I need this app to open and work instantly, every time I use it. I depend on it to communicate with customers and many times it fails to load up.

Response from developer

Hey, thank you for your review. I see that you emailed support about this and am going to follow up and see how it's going.

The app is an embarrassment.

It’s not just the poorly designed and clunky interface. Good luck trying to make an outbound call. If one out of ten attempts works, consider yourself lucky.

Hardly works

Half the time I can’t send texts. I’ve never received a notification about calls although the voicemails come through. I just got accused of fraud for being myself because of how poorly this app works/calls not coming through. Absolutely atrocious

Response from developer

I'm sorry to hear about the challenges using our app. I know this is a late response but if you haven't done so, please feel free to reach out to our support team. We will do our best to help. Here's a link to submit a ticket: https://help.numberbarn.com/hc/en-us/requests/new

App needs improved

The app does not play through connected devices like headphones or speakers. Many times the VM will cut off halfway.

The service works great, the app needs improved.

Response from developer

Thank you for posting this review. You may have noticed that we made some updates to the app so that, if you're using headphones, call audio should properly route through the headphones. If you continue to experience issues, don't hesitate to reach out to our support team at https://help.numberbarn.com/hc/en-us/requests/new

Texter’s Delight

I’m on the Park plan for $2/month. Unlimited SMS+MMS and a customizable recorded greeting for anyone who decides to voice call my number. 2FA supports SMS, email and authentication apps. Great customer service is just an email away. I’m very pleased with NumberBarn😊

Response from developer

Thank you for taking the time to post this review!

Headphones support?

Why do I have to take my headphones out to listen to voicemail? Headphone support is baked into the API - it’s ridiculous that I can only listen over the phone speaker.

Response from developer

This is a known issue with our mobile app that still exists. Currently you can listen to voicemail in handset or speaker mode. We will work to improve this in a future release.

Wish it worked better.

I echo Spechtaculyons comments. Whenever I make a call I have to hang up and call again since nothing happens the first time. Notifications don’t always work requiring a force quit of the app. Voice mail goes to the forwarded phone which can confuse callers if using the default message which is my preference.

Outgoing calls often have no audio with VOIP

More than half the time I call someone the calls have no audio and I have to try again. They can hear me, but I can’t hear them, but if I connect my headphones suddenly it works. Had this issue with multiple phones now. Seems to be a VOIP issue (even though my internet is great), works much better with the “callback” option.

Another issue, when it goes to voicemail it goes to the forwarded phone’s voicemail — not one specific to your new number, so if you use the default voicemail, it will announce the number it was forwarded to, not the numberbarn number.

Thank you for the review. Would you be willing to submit a support request with more details so we can work on making our service better for you and others? https://help.numberbarn.com/hc/en-us/requests/new

Basics

It’s like they didn’t read the very basics of iOS development. Notifications don’t work, login doesn’t use the iOS keychain.

Also why no incoming calls? Basics.

Calls keep dropping

Love that I have this option to use my parked number, but every time I use NumberBarn to make or receive calls, my calls are frequently dropped during my conversations. Very frustrating!
Can someone please work on fixing the reliability of this??!!

Response from developer

EDIT: Our engineers addressed an issue with our voice system. If you continue to experience issues, please reach out to us at the link below. /EDIT We appreciate the review! Would you be willing to submit a support request with more details so we can work on improving our service for you and others? https://help.numberbarn.com/hc/en-us/requests/new In the mean time, you can try our Callback mode option in the Dialer Settings. Thank you.

iOS Text Mesaaging Broken

Downloaded this app to send texts. You can’t start a new conversation in the app. It never lets you select the number to text when clicking it. If you start a conversation from the browser then you can continue it in the app however. Seems broken.

Response from developer

Hi, when you initiate a new text message in the app, you should see a dropdown menu at the bottom of your screen to select a number. If you don't see it and you are confident that you have an active NumberBarn plan, I recommend deleting the app and downloading it again. If that still doesn't work, please reach out to our support team. We'll work with you to get this fixed.
