Can’t sign up

Login will not send a verification SMS to a U.S. phone number. I tried to report it on the developer website form (linked from the iTunes Store) and their website won’t accept feedback. It errors out. Going to assume this app is no longer working (??)

App is inconsistent

I am trying to chat English to Spanish and few times it work and sometimes it shows blank on Spanish side

Msg app that doesnt send sms 🤷🏿‍♂️

No sms

Use to love this app

At first this app was amazing!! Now this app won’t send me any of my verification codes. I tried to get a new number and someone else phone it won’t send any of the codes. It needs to get fixed!!

Would like this app to work

I was hoping that this app would help me at work to better communicate with employees who speak Spanish but unfortunately the app fails to register. I can’t even leave a message on their website because it complains about an error occurred. It recognizes that I’m in the US but I don’t receive the SMS message or the phone call. Disappointed!
