### 5/5 — Great twilio app

*2023-04-18*

Been using this for years and seems to be the best one out for being able to use your mobile as a dialer with twilio. There Customer service is great as well. Had an issue with a recent update so reached out and they found and fixed the issue within a few days. Can’t fault them. Super app.

### 1/5 — Would not recommend

*2021-06-28*

Keeps logging out. Major headache to keep logging in.

### 1/5 — Not working

*2021-05-26*

App doesn’t work I paid ten dollars and it didn’t work in the slightest I would like a refund

### 1/5 — Not saving info

*2020-06-24*

The app is not saving info you have to re enter your info every time you use really getting frustrating

### 1/5 — Worthless

*2020-04-27*

App won’t save your Twilio settings! Enter your settings. Save your settings. Make your call. Open app the next day and your settings are gone! Not worth the time!

### 5/5 — Works great! iPhone 11

*2020-01-04*

Easy setup. Got up and running in minutes. Tested inbound and outbound calling.

### 1/5 — Doest not work

*2019-11-02*

Wont connect calls on iPhone 10 and 13.2

### 3/5 — Very confusing.  Paying for 2 calls

*2019-09-20*

This app is quite confusing when you first configure it. I had assumed that it would act like a normal phone app and make the call directly from that app.  No!  What it does is to call your cell phone and then once you answer, it places a call to your desired number.

What this does is to charge your Twilio account for 2 calls:  1 up your cell phone and another to the other party.  That’s silly!

I found another app, TwilPhone that directly dials from the app and allows you to set the caller ID.  Much more straightforward and half the cost for the app (and call charges).

### 2/5 — Loses Settings Frequently

*2019-09-17*

After you get everything all set up, on your mobile device, which means copying and pasting several numbers, you’ll find that after just a few weeks all of your settings are gone.  

I’ve resorted to putting all of my information needed for setup inside an easily-available email and re-populating the app when I need to use it. I have found that while this application is unique, it is not useful for regular use.

### 3/5 — Works but, can’t handle numbers with extensions

*2019-07-23*

It works but I can’t dial any number behind an extension. For dialling normal number the app does what it advertises: you get a call from your Twilio phone number and it merges the two calls.
