Now just says ‘connecting’. Have reset phone. Deleted and reinstalled. Just seems stuck on connecting. Please update ### 2/5 — Won’t leave voice messages on the other end *2025-07-23* The app shows the missed call from your own number, which is great. And it seems to flow as far as utilizing the app, but unfortunately, I try to send and leave about five messages and the voicemails will not come through to the recipient. I was testing it on a couple of phones and it does not leave a message for anyone. ### 1/5 — Still have to buy credits?? Forced notifications *2023-12-25* This app is a complete scam. After buying the app you get 6 “credits” to make calls. Then you have to buy more?! What a rip off. The app forces you to enable push notifications in order to use it. The notifications ordeal is nonsense as verifying your number is a manual process using sms. Reporting to apple for this reason this app is absolute garbage. ### 4/5 — It worked for me *2023-09-19* I am glad I didn’t read reviews before installing. It worked well for me. No issues. The only problem is for is the need to buy credits, there could be a monthly fee or something. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2023-08-23, version 2.4* The app doesn’t work and there is no support ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2023-08-05, version 2.4* Tried to leave a call and had an immediate message back from the person saying they were sorry they couldn’t pick up because they were in the middle of something. Don’t waste your money. ### 2/5 — 2 stars because *2023-05-25, version 2.4* When I start the app it says connecting but doesn’t seem to finish. ### 1/5 — Broken avoid *2023-05-24, version 2.4* Didn’t listen to reviews. Stuck in connecting and never fixes. Avoid or lose your money ### 3/5 — Defeats the object *2022-09-15, version 2.4* The persons phone rings once then goes to voicemail which defeats the object as the person will just call you straight back ### 1/5 — Complete waste. *2022-08-08, version 2.3* Downloaded the app for it to simply not work. Whenever I dial a number, it just instantly ends. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2022-08-04, version 2.3* I have had this app for years. It used to work once a few years ago. But doesn’t work anymore at all. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2022-07-21, version 2.3* I was giving it the benefit of a doubt. Sadly doesn’t work. ### 1/5 — Not working *2022-06-07, version 2.3* Terrible !! Called # rings and never goes to recipient voicemail just disconnected calls. Can not get in touch with rep for refund . ### 1/5 — App is dead *2022-05-26, version 2.3* Stays on one screen “connecting”. Nothing happens. App is dead. Do not buy. ### 1/5 — Rings!!! *2022-05-19, version 2.3* I tested this by calling my wife’s phone and it went quickly to voicemail, but her phone RANG first! This is no good at all. It completely defeats the purpose. ### 1/5 — App is Dead *2022-04-08, version 2.3* This application previously worked well for me when I needed to leave someone a quick voicemail. It has not worked for nearly 6 months. I followed every walk through tip sheet I can find but nothing works. I go to place a call and it never rings for me. The worst thing is that I have already paid for credits that are just sitting there. ### 1/5 — Didn’t work *2022-03-11, version 2.3* First time trying this app. The person immediately picked up. Didn’t go to his voicemail. Waste of money. Don’t buy. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Junk *2026-07-15, version 2.6* Never works when I need it. Says connecting but never connects. I paid for use and can’t access. Waste. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2026-07-01, version 2.6* On my most recent attempt I am not able to use the app. I tried to email customer service several times and didn’t hear from anyone. Too bad, cause I liked the app ### 1/5 — Totally broken - don’t buy *2026-06-17, version 2.6* I’m in the UK and this app 100% doesn’t work. Don’t buy it. I dial a number and it just times out and shows “call ended.” No ringing, no chance to leave a voicemail. I emailed support with no response. Broken mess. ### 1/5 — Didn’t work! *2025-11-30, version 2.5* The call went directly to the person, and I was not directed the voicemail. Boooo!!!! VERY disappointed! ### 1/5 — Does not work *2025-05-30* Takes credits but doesn’t work ### 1/5 — Will not verify phone number *2025-05-21, version 2.5* Total waste of time and money no want a refund, it will not verify my phone number and just took my money. I can’t even use it! ### 1/5 — Does not work don’t buy *2025-01-26* Also begs for credits that you have to buy in a PAID app and just doesn’t work… ### 1/5 — Stuck on connecting on home screen Doesn't work. *2024-06-27, version 2.4* See above ### 1/5 — Paid for use *2024-06-21, version 2.4* Just says connecting.

The app is perfect! ### 5/5 — Fixed *2024-06-30, version 2.4* Works great ### 5/5 — A great alt to Slydial with a feature Slydial doesn't have *2023-12-27, version 2.4* This app is similar to Slydial, but it supports every type of number, including pre-paid numbers, which Slydial does not. ### 5/5 — Wow! I love this!! *2019-05-14* This app does exactly what it says. This is so incredibly handy!! At first I was frustrated because I thought it was a pay one time for the app and thats it kind of thing. I had to get over it and pay for some credits to make my calls. It is so worth it. ### 5/5 — Worked like a dream! *2019-01-25* I had to call a business and the front desk guy is always so rude so I dreaded having to talk to him. I used WhatCall to leave a voicemail and it worked amazingly well! I dialed the number, it went straight to their voicemail and I left my message and went on with my day. I’ve been looking for something like this and I’m happy to have it!! Awesome app!! A+!! ### 5/5 — Good app *2017-10-01* 👍 works well ### 5/5 — Good App *2017-09-21, version 2.0* This app works well, the only thing I hope for is a whole UI upgrade. It looks kind of old school on an iPhone 6 plus. That's the only thing I would like to see is a whole new design. ### 5/5 — Awesome!!! *2017-09-21, version 2.0* I love this app! I'm very satisfied with it! I'm so glad I downloaded it on my iPhone. I love the fact that we have several options to play with !!!! ### 5/5 — One of my favorite apps! *2017-09-21, version 2.0* Very nice app for those who have business running... The service works better than phone carries!!! I do recommended!!!! ### 5/5 — Well worth the investment *2017-09-21, version 2.0* I've had this service for a few weeks now, and in addition to being very useful for myself it's amazing --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
