This app is trash and has been for years. Ive tried purchasing service to make calls both on an apple device and now android. Calls are terrible regardless if using 5g or wifi. Dropped calls, static on every call, garbled audio, lots of echo especially if i have them on speaker. It simply does not work well at all and again, on more than one device. Spend your money elsewhere or use google voice, thry actually have clear calls. This company is just milking subs for money.

I've been using this app for a long time across various devices and wish I could rate it higher. What stops me is lately this app has been causing severe battery life and temperature issues. My battery will drain rapidly when I have the app open, in some cases I can literally watch it drop 10-20% in seconds, which may be that device since it's not on the rest. If the app is open, even in the background, my devices will become very warm, sometimes uncomfortable to hold.

So far app does what it says. Thank you for providing this service. Revisiting my review I now give it 2 to 3 stars because it either does not ring at all for incoming calls or just says missed call afterwards. Notifications not being delivered till sometimes hours after the fact. Also in the last few days now the other party can not hear me at all. Tried uninstalling the app and reinstalling, clearing the cache, double checking permissions and nothing corrects the problem.
