It’s a broken. there is a free ones out there perform way better than this one. ### 1/5 — GARBAGE *2025-07-06, version 5.33* Total garbage, do not install ### 1/5 — Waste of money *2025-07-03, version 5.33* A FRAUD of an app. You have to PAY for texts. And they censor what you say. Because it’s against their precious “guidelines” don’t waste your time, or money on this clown app. Absolute CROOKS. Shameful act. ### 1/5 — Scam app… *2025-05-30, version 5.33* This is a total scam app, keeps deducting money from my account and not crediting me the credits I bought. What’s the point issuing the number if you don’t credit it. Thieves! Made me waste my time and subs money! Report the app!!! 😏 ### 2/5 — Not with it *2025-05-17, version 5.33* This app will constantly give me a hard time. I email no one replies back to me. I’m paying 499 a month. It will stop sending texts . It’s definitely not worth it Than I txted someone for 1 week straight and they didn’t reply because they never got my text and I never got their text ### 1/5 — Scam Alert !!!! *2025-04-16, version 5.33* Please don’t download this app people keep complaining l never believe till l give a try l just got scammed l paid on it and l was still told to buy credit the same day l paid $10 on it l couldn’t use for 8hrs l was told to buy more money please it better you don’t waste your money please don’t download this App be safe y’all ### 1/5 — No good *2025-03-31, version 5.33* Most messages do not get sent. Sent my self 10 as a test and only 2 went through ### 1/5 — Zero stars… no free speech? *2025-02-07, version 5.33* In a personal conversation I was standing up for a friend of mine who is LGBTQ+. My messages kept getting “rejected by sender” because apparently there’s some type of filter for certain words or phrases, and it considered what I was saying was “hate speech and against the policy,” but it wasn’t the case at all. Where I was defending a loved one and supporting accepting people as they are, my messages were still rejected? I believe in an app that I purchased to be able to use (I had upgraded) that none of my messages should be filtered at all, regardless of a user’s words or opinions. Especially in a case where it was completely false. I wish I could have got my money back because I don’t feel comfortable using this as my personal text number knowing that all my messages are either being read by AI or ran through a filter, it’s a violation of privacy. ### 2/5 — Not with it *2025-01-31, version 5.33* This app will constantly give me a hard time. I email no one replies back to me. I’m paying 499 a month. It will stop sending texts . It’s definitely not worth it ### 1/5 — Do not download!!!! *2025-01-23, version 5.33* It’s a freaking scam ### 1/5 — Деньги снимают, и пишут ошибка. Номер не дают. Просто воруют деньги и всё *2025-01-22* Деньги снимают, и пишут ошибка. Номер не дают. Просто воруют деньги и всё **Developer response:** Dear User, We apologize for this experience.

Thank you. ### 1/5 — A joke. *2024-11-22, version 5.32* So I went through a bunch of research through the App Store checking for an app I could use for texting and calls. I’ve gone through the other main ones and they all have terrible service and eventually suspend my account even after using premium and paying for services So I paid for the service send an email out to my entire inbox, and from there they suspended my services. I paid already. Really? ### 1/5 — Nonsense *2024-09-09, version 5.32* Please don’t just bother. No matter what convincing advertisement you see about this app just avoid it okay. Don’t throw your hard earned money away just like that. It is the most useless app on AppStore or PlayStore. ### 1/5 — Terrible app *2024-09-08, version 5.32* Messages are not accepted from various websites. How to delete an account in the application? ### 1/5 — SCAM *2024-07-21, version 5.30* Messages don’t send or receive ### 1/5 — My account was charge twice but it was failed *2024-07-10, version 5.30* This is bad for charging my account and it not working ### 1/5 — SCAM *2024-07-03, version 5.28* I never even used this app only installed it and immediately deleted it and I got charged in my account and it doesn’t let you “cancel a subscription” even if you haven’t subscribed. I never write bad reviews but I’m so upset THIS COMPANY WILL RIP YOU OFF!!!! ### 1/5 — Useless *2024-06-30, version 5.28* I couldn’t receive verification codes so I cancelled the service right away ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Don’t waste your money *2026-07-11, version 5.34* I bought this app thinking it did what it says on the tin . First you have to upload your personal information utility bill And driving licence. Then you have to buy a number along with credits . It’s not as straight forward as you think . I wasted money and contacted customer service , they took a while getting back to me then didn’t offer any help what so ever . DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY on this . ### 1/5 — Scam *2026-07-08, version 5.34* Download the app paid then it says can’t send Tex as insufficient funds all lies had a feeling it was to good to be true . ### 1/5 — Not free 999 you have to pay upfront *2026-06-18, version 5.34* It says free but it’s not it’s 9.99 right up the rip so how is that free? ### 1/5 — Scam! *2026-05-01, version 5.34* They stole over $250 from me in recharge claiming each time that my payment could not be validated. This is the worst service ever! ### 1/5 — Scam *2025-12-13, version 5.33* Charged me twice for a number I can’t keep. Scam. Scam. Scam. ### 1/5 — Nvm garbage again *2025-11-19, version 5.33* I originally have this app 5 stars then I paid for the number and my text stopped send Another garbage scam ### 1/5 — Not free *2025-10-02, version 5.33* Just downloaded it and first thing says purchase approved, then tells you to pick a plan after choosing a number. This is a scam and misleading. ### 1/5 — Seems shady *2025-09-19, version 5.33* It is pressuring to add my contacts and not all my texts are going through… I’ve only had for 2 minutes n already pressing me to write this review. Cool as it gave me a list of #s to choose from. We will see how it goes. As of now I’d say pushy, and spotty service. Who knows it could get better, but since it made me write this after 2 minutes I’m giving an honest review of my experience thus far. ### 1/5 — No trial or anything *2025-08-15, version 5.33* The ads would be okay if there was at least a trial. Don't get it ### 1/5 — Don't buy! *2025-07-29, version 5.33* This is definitely false advertisin'! There aren't any free numbers. You have to pay for them. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Nice *2025-11-01, version 5.10* Works very well for my old iPad ### 5/5 — A+ *2024-04-26, version 5.23* A+ ### 5/5 — Great *2024-04-25, version 5.23* Great app ### 5/5 — Incomparable *2024-04-25, version 5.23* The best free texting app. Hands down.
