### 1/5 — WORST APP EVER

*2026-08-10, version 3.0.4*

I downloaded this app and applied for the FREE trial… What i thought was free my account was charged for 42 dollars!!!! it was supposed to be free and if giving a lower score was possible it would be lower

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2026-08-05, version 3.0.4*

Good

### 1/5 — Scam app do not get!!

*2026-08-04, version 3.0.4*

If I could give this app once though I mean zero stars I would this app is literally a scam. It says it will give you free number to text however, when I try to log on to see my messages, that’s on the app. I literally can’t even pick a number without paying $10 a week. I’m not paying $10 a week to pay for a app that’s supposed to be unlimited text messages and you’re telling me you would give me a free phone number however you don’t even let me get to a message stage to do not get this app. This is nothing like text now or text free. This app is just a money grab trying to charge $10 a week. They didn’t give me and my free trial barely even worked. I did I’m gonna be contacting the development team to see about getting a refund. Otherwise, do not download this app!!

### 5/5 — I have been scammed

*2026-07-16, version 3.0.3*

I have been scammed by this app . I paid for the number for $39.99 and it can’t send or receive messages please refund my money

### 1/5 — “Free trial” is deceiving.

*2026-07-09, version 3.0.2*

I am less than 5 hours into my 3 day free trial and I already am unable to access my texts. Guess we all know I’m not paying for a subscription if this is how they operate. So the free trial isn’t even free.

### 1/5 — DONT USE

*2026-07-09, version 3.0.2*

I already went through here with support and they said theyd credit my account but i want to cancel my active subscription. But they wont let me no matter how many time i reach out. I canceled the payment and the subscription through the app store and apple but it says the subscription is still active. Im assuming you guys need to cancel it so its actually canceled. I cant redownload the app and cancel it though there because the purchase wont go through so my account is locked. This is URGENT! I NEED my account back. PLEASE just CANCEL my subscription PLEASE. I BEG.

### 1/5 — Scam

*2026-06-30, version 3.0.1*

I did the free trial and now they have been trying to charge me for three months. I cant even update my apps until I pay. I hate you

### 1/5 — Complain

*2026-06-18, version 3.0.0*

This app is a scam I subscribe the year plan which is $39.9 and I could only get 100 coin once it finish I had to watch ads and stuff yet having issues with sending and recieving pictures I thought a year plan should be as it is there they just took my money off for nothing

### 1/5 — not even free

*2026-06-03, version 2.8.7*

### 1/5 — BAD

*2026-05-31, version 2.8.7*
