### 3/5 — Err…

*2025-10-01, version 2.5*

Sinceramente, não é um aplicativo ruim, por que eu conseguir usar ele em diversas situações. Ultimamente fui usar ele depois de MUITO tempo, e teve um pequeno erro: não carregava. Não ia notificação nenhuma para o número escolhido, e era só uma porrada de anúncio insuportável, corrijam isso.

### 1/5 — Disgusting app

*2026-07-18, version 3.2*

The app is completely unusable it spams advertisements every 2-4 seconds without ever taking a break, this causes people with add blocker  to get all the phone numbers and use it even if you have notifications and use it instantly, the amount of advertisements is disgustin it’s as if the whole app is a shady scam, the devs have 0 moral Atleast take a break after 20 seconds before spamming my another advert within 1-3 seconds of finishing the last one.

### 1/5 — Hey virtual number.

*2026-04-30, version 3.0*

What you guys did doesn't make sense. The upgrade is a big mess. I can even receive code on my old email, and it's very annoying. I have a lot of emails, and I can't use them anymore. It's also difficult for me to access my account. Please, you guys should work on your upgrade and bring back the old email option.
