Lose of revenue due to issues. ### 5/5 — This app is so easy and simple *2025-07-18, version 1.8.0* This app allows me to text straight from my phone using my work number that is a VOIP number. It works just like texting, but I know it’s for business. It’s pretty cool. ### 1/5 — Oh ok… *2024-12-12, version 1.8.0* Downloaded to make communications easier but no luck. Would be nice to see a functional app. Uninstalling now ### 1/5 — Worst app ever *2024-09-27, version 1.8.0* Better off using your personal cell phone! Impossible to recruit using this load of trash. ### 1/5 — Hate that I have to use this app for work *2024-06-30, version 1.8.0* Incredibly unreliable app. Possibly the worst messaging app I’ve ever used. Only reason I’m stuck with it is because I use it for work. Don’t download. ### 1/5 — It will not even work on my phone. *2024-01-16, version 1.8.0* About a year ago, this used to work just fine. Now they don’t send links for password reset or to log on. The sign in on the all keeps prompting me to check my email. I click the link and then there is an error. It asks me to use my same mobile device. I have been using my mobile device. This prompt is a viscous “spiral of death” tech cycle. This app has been an ineffective barrier to work with incoming business texts on my mobile devices. I’d recommend finding another interface unless you like frustration. ### 1/5 — Logging in is impossible *2023-08-28, version 1.8.0* To log in, I have to get a link sent to my email every time. But then when I click the link- it opens up my browser not the app. Regardless I follow the instructions just to be sent back to the login page and the cycle begins again…. Please fix this. It’s been months with the same issue… ### 1/5 — Log in issue *2023-03-20, version 1.8.0* Ever since the update I haven’t had access to log in to my account the only way to get access is through my computer browser this is a real pain so to me need to use this for work ### 1/5 — Can’t Reset Password *2022-07-06, version 1.7.0* Can you update the app to remove the “Forgot Password?” button? It doesn’t work, even if you do it through the website. Maybe hire some people who know what they’re doing. ### 1/5 — I can’t create an account *2022-06-27, version 1.6.0* I have try to create an account on my iOS phone but it not going all it show is just login no place or icon show to create new account why ## Frequently asked questions about TextUs ### What are the main improvements in TextUs?
