### 3/5 — It’s weird, but works fine I guess

*2024-08-02, version 6.0.1*

The UI choices are baffling, particularly with adding contacts to a new message

### 3/5 — Great but not there yet

*2021-06-03, version 3.0.0*

Reliable service, works well with Twilio. The app is still a beta version in my opinion. Contact management is terrible and badges are not working, as examples. (Yep, I authorized them) 

I have big hopes for the next version and I’m pretty sure it’s gonna be nice :-)

### 3/5 — So much limited

*2019-12-20, version 1.0.10*

It limited mobile number.. you can’t use it for HongKong, Japan... mobile number

### 3/5 — Received picture messages don't display

*2019-01-08, version 1.0.10*

I'd give more stars but the app only shows an empty rectangle in lieu of a received picture.  I have to login to the Twilio console to see whatever I was sent.

### 1/5 — Worst Company Dealt with EVER

*2025-03-23, version 6.1.1*

Be very careful do not deal with this company. It’s ran by one guy out of his garage. And he likes to Terminate Account without Cause. Worst customer service I’ve ever seen in my entire life..

### 1/5 — No App Badge

*2023-07-01, version 5.0.0*

It doesn’t have an App Badge so you can’t tell if new messages are waiting.

### 1/5 — I’m grateful but needs work

*2022-06-13, version 3.5.0*

It’s pretty slow when navigating and all views are buggy. It really needs in line photos like other messaging apps also

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work right for mms with text

*2021-12-17, version 3.3.0*

If a text is sent to a textable account with a picture and text, only the picture is received. I was going back and forth with their support to try and get that fixed. I hadn’t heard from them for a few days, so I canceled the account.  It canceled it immediately even though I paid for a full month a few days ago. I doubt there will be any refund for the remainder of the month.

### 1/5 — Made my head hurt... and my users angry.

*2020-12-09, version 2.0.1*

Tried using this for our business with 10 team members.  In the end only 2 out of 10 are using it now, because theirs were the only numbers it worked for consistently. 

For most users it never worked and caused many more problems than good. We went through everything with Twilio multiple times, ran  diagnostics. It came down to Textable. Tried emailing their support and calling them...  no answer. 

Very sad because I think there’s a lot of potential and the interface is clean yet sleek. I have to give one star because nothing else matters if it doesn’t perform its basic purpose... sending and receiving messages.

### 1/5 — Please avoid

*2019-06-14, version 1.0.10*

Phone app is useless, every time you want to check new message you have to quit app and start all over again. It opens conversation at the beginning, you have to scroll it down every time.  Super slow

### 1/5 — Crashes on contact search

*2018-08-30, version 1.0.5*

Didn’t get to find out if it can send texts. It doesn’t ask for contact permissions, which is probably why it crashes when trying to search contacts.

### 2/5 — Sort of works with some serious issues

*2020-08-12, version 2.0.1*

I was able to set it up pretty easily using twilio. It works well for texting and can receive images. Some giant issues though. The first is there is no way to navigate back from a text message when you only have one. You are stuck in the message or can go to you login. Once you have 2 messages it opens up another pane/menu. The other is if you get a file there is no way to save it. Would be great to have save to phone or standard menu on the iPhone- send via text, email, save to photos, etc. beyond that it seems great.

### 2/5 — Almost there

*2018-05-28, version 1.0.5*

This is almost a perfect replacement for my XMPP-Twilio gateway. Crashes when you try to browse your phone’s contacts—once they fix that, this will be an excellent app.

### 5/5 — Works great with Twilio!

*2020-10-12, version 2.0.1*

I’ve been using both the web and mobile apps to communicate with customers using a Twilio phone number. No problems at all!

### 5/5 — Great with supported provider

*2020-07-08, version 2.0.1*

This app is extremely useful and easy to set up when paired with a supported provider.

### 5/5 — Works great, was up and running in minutes

*2019-10-17, version 1.0.10*

The app is simple and functional. Takes advantage of low sms cost from providers like flowroute or twilio instead of inflated fixed monthly costs from similar services.

### 5/5 — Works perfectly with Twilio

*2019-03-28, version 1.0.10*

This is an awesome app and is working perfectly with our Twilio account. We are now able to use SMS and MMS on our business which allows us to interact better with our customers. 
Keep up the good work!

### 5/5 — It Works!

*2019-03-22, version 1.0.10*

Using Flowroute as our trunk provider and only care about SMS.  App seems to work great so far, I can successfully send and receive texts.  The texts come through and go out promptly.  I have not tried short codes which I don’t care about for this purpose.

### 5/5 — Works great with voip.ms

*2019-01-23, version 1.0.10*

When Rogers removed SMS fwd on their network I ported my unused personal cel number to voip.ms and use this app to still get text messages. Great app, the suggested contacts is working well!

### 5/5 — Twilio

*2018-06-11, version 1.0.5*

Great app but how do you route Twilio to the app?

### 4/5 — The only solution I could find!

*2019-05-20, version 1.0.10*

Let’s go emojis!

### 4/5 — Works well.

*2019-03-21, version 1.0.10*

Works really well! 
I hope it stays updated.

### 4/5 — Good app for Twilio number but needs tweaks

*2018-08-22, version 1.0.5*

Good app but sometimes runs into situations where it texts twice and/or incoming messages don’t come in
