Marginal At Best

For years I had it on my Android. It was ok until they discontinued the voicemail function.
I just recently switched to iOS and now it’s totally worthless. Doesn’t do a thing and all the download updates for iOS doesn’t function or there is no clear path to fixing what is wrong.
Being a paid subscription, is all the more frustrating.
