### 4/5 — Amazing

*2026-05-29, version 3.1*

Love it works great

### 3/5 — Good but needs Extension option

*2026-03-13, version 3.1*

I’ve been using the slydial number for some years now (but not often because I don’t need to use it that often). I first started using the app version and I notice it (and the app version) are missing 1 feature—to be able to slydial a number that has an extension.

### 3/5 — It’s not the same

*2025-06-14, version 2.5*

It just don’t work

### 1/5 — Won’t log in

*2025-05-29, version 2.5*

This app won’t log in. Get an error message every time I try to sign up.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work and hasn’t in forever

*2025-05-27, version 2.5*

Used to be a great app but it no longer works. They now force you to sign in but I keep getting an error message and booted out. Do not download this app. It no longer works and there has yet to be an update to take of this specific issue. So it’s useless. Why force someone to sign in if your sign in isn’t properly working. Useless.

### 1/5 — Glitches

*2025-05-21, version 2.5*

It won’t let me log in . Often says I don’t have funds when I do. It logs me out. It crashes. Bad bad app

### 1/5 — Used to work, not anymore

*2025-05-05, version 2.5*

I used to love this app, but it no longer works. Tells me every number is not a valid mobile number.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t Work

*2025-04-08, version 2.5*

I used this to call my boss. I didn’t want to talk to her, so I figured I’d just leave her a voice message. 

The app told me the call wouldn’t work with this number, a Verizon cellphone. 2 seconds later, my boss is calling me because it appears the app still called her. Complete fail.

### 1/5 — Worked but

*2025-04-02, version 2.5*

The calls work but the same day I downloaded I started getting almost non stop spam calls and texts. Yikes. Instant delete.

### 1/5 — Shows Your Cell Number To Who You’re Calling!

*2025-03-03, version 2.5*

I called three friends, for whatever reason I could not leave a VM. Then, on their end, it showed a missed-call from me on their cellphone.

### 1/5 — App dialing doesn’t work

*2025-01-01, version 2.5*

Test by calling another person who can verify…. Multiple attempts and none of them worked

### 1/5 — Used to work great, I think they’ve give up

*2024-09-20, version 2.5*

It makes you listing to ads then claims the number you put in isn’t a valid phone number and hangs up. Don’t use this app, there are many others that actually work.

### 1/5 — Calls them, doesn’t send you to voicemail. Doesn’t work

*2024-09-15, version 2.5*

Terrible and misleading app. It calls them. They pick up and answer. It doesn’t go to voicemail. app doesn’t do what it says. Absolute waste. Made by morons.

### 1/5 — Trash

*2024-09-02, version 2.5*

Not only does it not connect to the voicemail the person’s voicemail that you’re trying to reach can see that you’re calling. when the number calls you for you to listen to the 20 second ad it actually dials the person‘s number so when they answer, it gives you a message stating it couldn’t connect to their voicemail. It disconnects and makes it seem like you called them and hung up on them.

### 1/5 — Dials wrong number

*2026-06-01, version 3.1*

When dialing the correct number it keeps trying to dial a completely different number than was input. Really bad bug.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2026-05-17, version 3.1*

Never works.  Phone always rings and they answer

### 1/5 — Scammers

*2026-01-22, version 3.1*

Product didn’t work after I paid $10!!!! Then when I tried to log in my account no long exist!! Worst app I’ve ever used will be reporting to Apple!!

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2025-12-26, version 3.1*

### 1/5 — Does NOT work

*2025-12-14, version 3.1*

App is trash dont work at all

### 1/5 — It works sporadically

*2025-12-12, version 3.1*

It works sometimes, and then not other times, and it’s really annoying

### 1/5 — Needs Help

*2025-11-05, version 3.1*

The app does not really do copy and paste. Not very smooth, clunky and slow reacting when you add a new number to your phone book the app does not see it. I’ve been using this app for many years and this version is probably the worst. Needs help.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work at all

*2025-11-04, version 3.1*

Tried dialing a number, (entered correctly at top) once the phone number pops up on bottom of screen to confirm calling, it’s a completely different phone number than the one entered. I even tried multiple numbers, always just tries to call the same random number ending in 759-3425…? Completely useless, what the heck…

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2025-08-28, version 2.5*

Tried it. Person answered the call. Didn’t go to VM

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2025-06-03, version 2.5*

Error screen at registration every time

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Very Helpful app

*2026-05-13, version 3.1*

Using it consistently and it is amazing

### 5/5 — Use this app, folks!!!

*2025-12-30, version 3.1*

Great app
Using now for years
Too good!!!

### 5/5 — Very convenient

*2025-09-24, version 3.0*

Such a convenient app I never thought I needed but use all the time. This is amazing for those calls you don’t want to make but still want to personally deliver a message. And it’s great for work and personal life honestly!

### 5/5 — Simple and Amazing

*2025-09-15, version 3.0*

Slydial is so easy to use, especially with its newest update. WOW BLOWN AWAY. 

I love this app to send/schedule voicemails without ringing the phone.

Good job guys…

### 5/5 — As promised

*2025-09-11, version 3.0*

Reached the voicemail as soon as I called, very easy to use.

### 5/5 — Works as advertised

*2025-08-13, version 2.5*

My Amish brother-in-law has a cell phone, but doesn’t text so this works perfectly for leaving him a message without having to talk

### 5/5 — Super useful app

*2021-07-20, version 2.5*

Great communication app. Very useful for when you just want to relay a message with a personal touch.

### 5/5 — Perfect for those with anxiety or have a toxic/bad boss.

*2020-10-30, version 2.2*

I recently went through a horrible workplace and I needed to arrange getting my work uniform back to their place.  I did not want to talk to this boss as I know they would be very unfriendly and very condescending/rude over the phone. Even left a rude text to me. I decided that I would not waste my time calling and hearing them so I tried slydial to see if it would work. 

It went Straight to their voicemail. I had to sit through a small 30 second ad but it was worth it. 
It’s better that a record was shown that I called them through this app so in case there was any issues, I can show that I called through this app. 

If your an ocassional caller that needs to call in sick or have a disgruntled boss you don’t want to talk to, this app is totally worth it.

### 5/5 — Contactless = more time

*2020-07-20, version 2.1*

I love Slydial. I discovered it several years ago and have used it ever since. I’m an insomniac and have to leave voice messages at odd hours.

### 5/5 — Casanova

*2020-05-30*

I wanted to put a review in on the heels of RV Kris but from a different perspective. I’m a single man and sometimes calling a girl and letting her know where I am, why I haven’t called or that I’m thinking about her works wonders rather than getting tied up on the phone in a long conversation. It’s a great tool if you want to appear to care, save time, encourage somebody, tell them you’re thinking about them without having to tie yourself up on the phone. I love it and it’s great. I actually do care but pretend that i really care and I’m thinking about her and I called but darn i missed you on the phone but did you get my message darling? Sometimes these darn cell phones don’t get the message to you until hours later... lol
