### 5/5 — A Hidden Gem for Private Coversation

*2023-10-17, version 1.6.51*

An incredible app that has become my go-to for safeguarding my private conversations. The ability to have free and secure messaging with a virtual number is a game-changer.

What I find particularly impressive is the added layer of security – entering a PIN on a calculator to access the hidden app. This extra level of privacy sets this app apart from the rest.

Whether it's for personal or professional use, "Private Message Box" provides peace of mind and keeps your conversations truly private. It's a must-have for anyone looking to protect their messages and maintain confidentiality. Highly recommended! ⭐🔒📱

### 3/5 — Not able to login

*2023-06-04, version 1.6.50*

App not working properly 
While login invalid input error message

### 1/5 — I am being charged to send sms on my iPhone.

*2021-12-18*

I am being charged to send sms  on my iPhone.  I have the Pro verison of this application on my android device which I have had for years.  When I send messages it’s free, now I download it to my iPhones and it charges to send a message.  I don’t like it at all.  I already paid for one year so I will keep it until the subscription end.  I use to love this application but now it is of no use to me.

### 2/5 — It used to be better

*2021-08-23*

This app used to be better. It used to crash from time to time. But at least it kind of worked. The messages didn’t always go through but at least  the app worked enough to still be somewhat useful. All of this was free.  Now they did a fake update to change the app to charge you for messages. If you would have told people before the change that would at least be respectful. But to make a change like this for an app that did not work all the time without advance notice is just not cool. Seriously if I would have gotten a heads up and the app actually worked 100% I would have been willing to pay. It gets 2 stars because it used to work kind of so 1 star would just be petty and mean.

### 1/5 — Keeps telling me I have an invalid number

*2018-08-10*

I have messaged the developer never received a response. So will be uninstalling this app again. Thanks for nothing!

**Developer response:** Thank you for connecting us.
Sorry for inconvenience, please use our latest updated app.

### 1/5 — Private message app

*2018-06-23, version 1.6.11*

It’s stupid you can’t even get to use it because it won’t verify your phone number

### 2/5 — Doesn't send message

*2017-09-10*

Pressing the "Free" button to send the message does nothing.  And they want money for this?

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2016-10-19*

This app does not work on an iPhone 5s. Does not send or receive private texts. Customer support did not help.

### 1/5 — No good

*2016-10-13, version 1.4.7*

Minor fault when they send a confirmation code and you put in the app it doesn't accept .. It says try again. Uninstalled

### 1/5 — Very bad

*2015-12-11*

Bad so much....the connection failed please try in next time...it has no another message ...please fix it
