Can my previous number be restored? And my active subscription will expire by 2027 ### 1/5 — Horrible *2026-03-18, version 2.8.3* They want you to buy it before you can use it to see if you like it do not wast your time downloading ### 1/5 — No Free Trial *2026-01-19, version 2.8.3* They’ll charge you immediately ### 1/5 — I was charged without my consent , I contacted for a refund hopefully I get one and I ca update this *2026-01-17, version 2.8.3* I did not make the purchase ### 1/5 — Ugh. *2025-11-28, version 2.7.9* Used the app one time, tried the free trial and immediately got charged. No one will refund me so I’m stuck with this useless app that I will never use again. 40 dollars down. ### 5/5 — Good app for best communication *2025-11-25, version 2.7.9* Good app for best communication ### 5/5 — Best *2025-11-22, version 2.7.9* Sarah ### 1/5 — SCAMMERS *2025-11-19, version 2.7.9* It says 3 business days to receive a response it’s been over a week and I haven’t heard anything from no one yet. SCAMMERS!!!! SOMEONE NEED TO CONTACT ME SO WE CAN GET THIS ISSUE RESOLVED. WHY DO Y’ALL EVEN HAVE THIS APP UP AND RUNNING AND WHEN SOMETHING GOES WRONG YOU GUYS DON’T REACH BACK OUT TO THE CUSTOMERS ### 1/5 — REFUND *2025-11-13, version 2.7.9* Please refund my money yall took my money and I don’t even have the app downloaded on my phone since 2023 & yall randomly took 40.00 off my account ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — SCAM *2026-08-19, version 3.0.4* DO NOT GET THIS APP, they will take your money and it’s not worth it! ### 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 ### 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!! ### 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* literally sucks tryna make me pay $7 a week just for a damn phone number ### 1/5 — BAD *2026-05-31, version 2.8.7* Don’t get. It’s trying to make me pay $40 for a subscription. I don’t have. I don’t even have the app. ### 1/5 — SCAMM SCAMMM SCAMMM *2026-05-12, version 2.8.4* App is LITERALLY A scam! Everybody is having the same issue with this app in the reviews section. I cancelled the subscription and deleted the app and they charged me $40 out of nowhere and refuses to refund me. They’re even lying about what the app has to offer. You can’t even get verification code messages through this app. Seeing that I deleted the app same day, what’s the problem with refunding me? It’s not like I used the services and then requested a refund. I deleted same day and months later gets charged $40 that they won’t refund back to you! I don’t even write reviews but I wouldn’t wish this on nobody else! I’m not just a mad customer out for revenge, No! THIS APP IS A 100% SCAM HANDS DOWN!! I wouldn’t recommend this app even if it was 100% FREE! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Excellent *2026-08-05, version 3.0.4* Good ### 5/5 — I have been scammed *2026-07-16, version 3.0.3* I have been scammed by this app .
