Review Analysis

Insights from user reviews.

Sentiment Score

24%

Negative

Summary

This app garners overwhelmingly negative feedback, reflected in its low sentiment score. Many users are frustrated by misleading claims of being "free," as core features often require unexpected payments, subscriptions, or tokens, with some finding the pricing exorbitant. Significant issues include unreliable call and text functionality, frequent app crashes (including specific reports of crashing on iOS for iPad after updates), and poor customer support, compounded by problems with number expiration or blocking. While a small number of users appreciate its ease of use for obtaining a second number and report stable performance or a good ad experience, these positive experiences are largely overshadowed by widespread complaints.
