### 3/5 — Great but wish I could report spam calls

*2026-02-21*

Would be better if I can report spam callers. Considering the majority of this app’s user base is disabled people, there should be better ability to protect ourselves from scammers in the app we came to for accessibility

### 1/5 — Not worth it

*2025-10-13*

I not recommend this app.. This app still have LOT bug and they didn’t change it for long time.

### 5/5 — Best app ever

*2024-10-11*

I use this app in my shop

### 2/5 — 👎🏻👎🏻

*2024-08-28*

This was my 1st relay app but it’s useless cause the calls get dropped then the says the line is busy PLUS recently I’ve gotten hackers fake number calls 
App hasn’t been updated in 6 months so more then likely the Dev abandoned the app  
Since I’m getting these fake number calls I’m going to delete this app completely 
There better Relay apps out there

### 1/5 — PLEASE FIX

*2024-08-06*

doesn’t work at all now. Was in middle of call scheduling an appt and it cut out. Then I tried to recall but didnt work. Everytime I try to call somebody now it just says phone number in use error. Nobody is using the freaking thing but me. I tried closing and reopeing app. And restarting iPad. I tried it both on iPhone and iPad in app. I can’t make any calls with app broken. Please fix.

### 2/5 — 👎🏻👎🏻

*2024-07-10*

My 1st TTY type app was this one bit there’s been dropped calls etc 
So now I’m changing to something better 
Does me no good when the call connects then drops

### 3/5 — Last IP relay provider left…not great

*2024-04-19, version 4.4.0*

They “get a lot of inappropriate registrations”. OK…that’s understandable. Since I also use VP, it was easy to schedule a VP call and they verified me.

Porting an MSDN number into the relay database using this provider is too convoluted and unreliable. I almost lost my previous digits I’ve had since August of 2013. 

The CAs are typing way too many “xxxx” “xxxxxx” and not actual words. If someone calls you through this service and you don’t answer, they transcribe what your caller says into an email rather than a message you can check on TMobileIPRelay.com. I guess that makes sense nowadays.

I literally only used this service for a month in 2023. It’s gone so far downhill since 2010 when my usage of IP relay services peaked. I do not plan to use this service or app again.

### 2/5 — Lazy interpreters

*2023-10-25*

It a hit and miss with the interpreters. Called today to see if can activate my debit card. They lied and said no options or live person available and call hanged up.  I called back myself and use Live captions on IPhone and did it myself. Basically getting paid to do nothing all day but answer the phone and lie call don’t go through.  Always wonder why majority of time calls not going though find a hearing person to call and verify or use Live Captions for proof they not doing their jobs

### 1/5 — Says Password Is Wrong

*2023-09-28, version 4.3.6*

It isn’t, same password works on android and web…

### 5/5 — Accessible for DeafBlind

*2023-08-18*

I love using this app as it allows me to use this anytime from anywhere. I. Can make the call with discretion and not be concerned about my privacy being invaded by “nosy” people. As a DeafBlind person, this app also allows me an option to adjust how I access this app to my needs. Best of all, I can save the conversation when needed for documentation purposes! Definitely appreciate this app as it provides with a genuine sense of access where the information given and received is accurate due to having a live operator rather than an ASR/AI. Accuracy is crucial especially when making important calls. Thank you T-Mobile for this awesome app!!
