### 1/5 — Too Many Dropped Calls

*2013-02-03*

There are too many instances where a call is dropped or the reception is below average. In order to reach the gold standard of phone privacy with VoIP, this app first needs to address the issues with call quality. Additionally, this app does not offer a confirmation after each phone call, that there was no intrusion of privacy.

### 1/5 — Awful - Waste of Time 💩💩💩

*2012-06-05*

Waited 24hrs for server to send activation code and still nothing. App attempts to connect but always shows as "attempting to reach a server". My time is to valuable to wait on these indefinite attempts to connect. 

Trial period is 15 days. No way to find out what cost is after this. Deleted.

### 1/5 — Crap

*2012-05-24*

Screwed my phone up. I miss calls and now my wifi drops constantly. My iPhone is a week old. Deleted it.

### 5/5 — Excellent App and works perfectly

*2012-05-03*

I installed this in about two minutes max. I then sent a text to one of my staff and they installed it as well with out a hitch. Works great but how do you really know that your conversation is actually encrypted?
