### 1/5 — Not iPad friendly

*2026-04-22, version 4.28.1*

Will not go full screen on iPad. Doesn’t always like to rotate the camera or show the button to do so.

### 1/5 — Loses the video feed all too often!!

*2025-11-11, version 4.26.0*

I see that all of the reviews are over five years ago saying this app is wonderful, mostly. Well I am a current user and I’m not impressed! I have been using this app with my therapist for about five years now and almost every time my therapist and I get on a call, the video freezes and cuts off communication between the two of us giving a message saying the video feed has lost connection. This is not only very annoying, but also cuts into my time with my therapist which I am paying for!! The quality of the call is often low and we both have to keep asking each other “can you hear me?” We each do not receive the messages sent to each other in the chat portion of the app.  I thought my therapist had ghosted me when in fact she had never received any of my messages! What a disaster! Thank GOD I found her email and contacted her that way!! At our last meeting we both agreed that we need to find a new meeting app that is more reliable. I’m all for doing that!!!

### 2/5 — Connecting call problem

*2025-04-28, version 4.23.2*

I am giving 2 stars cause I can’t answer my incoming calls to my appointments and I have had to rush into the office the last 5 appointments

### 2/5 — Worse after update

*2024-12-18, version 4.23.0*

Somehow became worse after the update. Disconnects every few minutes before it ultimately crashes. You can no longer add an additional user to the call while on the call.

### 1/5 — na

*2023-08-29, version 4.18.0*

na

### 5/5 — Works great for what I need.

*2023-05-16, version 4.17.1*

Title says it all

### 1/5 — VSee

*2023-01-15, version 4.16.2*

Absolutely terrible could not hear a thing connection was horrendous our signal was strong but still could not even hold a proper conversation. 

Do not buy this whatever you do.

### 1/5 — ابتزاز

*2022-07-30, version 4.14.0*

تم ابتزازي بواسطه البرنامج

### 5/5 — srxx202020

*2022-05-19, version 4.14.0*

the best thing in this app no need to add mobile number

### 1/5 — It’s fake app

*2022-04-04, version 4.13.1*

It’s 100% fake app used by scammers. I don’t know why is this even allowed to be on AppStore.
