Store ratings include star-only taps from in-app prompts, which skew high. The peak and recent figures come only from people who wrote a review, which skews low. Compare each against itself: the drop is the signal, and a big gap between the two usually means heavy rating prompting is masking unhappy users.

Scammy approach

★ · v5.38.2 · Oct 13, 2026

1. On their website they are offering much cheaper price, but while you are purchasing number, they just offer you unlimited plan which is $10/month. 2. There is no option to downgrade, it is fixed and setting on auto renew 3. You can’t receive international call or text and you can’t make any international calls

Didn’t work

★ · v5.38.2 · Sep 30, 2026

Made one call and it dropped it in the middle of conversation at critical moment.

Ripoff - apple denied refund

★ · v5.38.2 · Sep 25, 2026

Have not been able to send messages or make calls. Tried cancelling subscription and starting over with a newly purchased subscription, but it still won’t work. Did this multiple times to no success. I want my money back. You’ve been warned. Avoid this app

Can’t recover important messages

★ · v5.38.2 · Sep 11, 2026

Cant login to my account and customer service sucks badly.

Don’t Use

★ · v5.38.2 · Aug 29, 2026

Opens a backdoor into your device. Don’t use.

Issues

★ · v5.38.2 · Aug 29, 2026

To many issues with the app, not the nicest support team sometimes, and i paid for a year subscription that they refused to refund after only using it for a month lol. Was able to port my number out at least.

App won’t open, keeps crashing

★ · v5.38.0 · Aug 27, 2026

This app sucks! When I try to open it, it just crashes. I tried rebooting my phone and deleting/adding the app but nothing works. Waste of money since I paid for lifetime subscription.

Bought life-time access and want me to pay

★ · v5.36.0 · Aug 18, 2026

Rip off. Already bought lifetime access. Now want more money.

Never works when I need it

★ · v5.36.0 · Aug 16, 2026

Not reliable

Scam

★ · v5.36.0 · Aug 12, 2026

So I want to send a message and it said that it was couldn’t be sent because it was being sent to another country. No, it was not. I was sending it from my home state to my home state. So this app is useless and I paid for something I’m not getting

Horrible text sending rate

★★ · v5.36.0 · Aug 10, 2026

I got this app hoping for something that worked better for me than the Burner app. The amount of texts I send that never go through to the recipient is mind boggling and driving me crazy. If I write a text that’s a little long or has paragraphs, it doesn’t go through but it also doesn’t notify me so I have no idea if texts are sending. BEGGING the app developers to work on this glitch.

Not working at all

★ · v5.36.0 · Aug 10, 2026

Cant receive text or send it out. Cant make and receive calls even after I had paid. Please refund me my money

Does NOT work

★ · v5.36.0 · Aug 7, 2026

Paid for a weekly subscription but the app is not allowing me to select a phone number. Online support was worthless and did not solve the issue nor provide a refund. Therefore, I’ve paid for nothing.

Not reliable

★ · v5.36.0 · Jul 24, 2026

This could be a good solution for many situations but the developer hobbled the functionality. Abrupt account restrictions based on vague and arbitrary low call numbers. Account automatically flagged and disabled if "you make too many phone calls"... How many is too many? They can't tell you. It's automated and it's one of those situations where the customer service believes the automation is God, cannot be questioned.

Sorry, more money needed.

★★ · v5.36.0 · Jul 23, 2026

This turned out to be a very poor service in the beginning. It was good and little by little it just downgraded to the point where the reception is terrible you can barely get a hold of anybody because the calls get cut off randomly or won’t even go through and it seems to be all the company truly cares about at all his money because they’ll be right there to let you know that you’re out of credits and you need to give them more money but they don’t care about fixing their service.

UPGRADE NEEDED!!!

★ · v5.36.0 · Jul 22, 2026

This app USE TO BE flawless but the last few months it’s EXTREMELY SLOW AND FREEZES before each use. An UPGRADE OR UPDATE is needed ASAP

Buggiest app that I use

★ · v5.36.0 · Jul 19, 2026

Look at the data collection. They also ban VPNs.

Not allowed to sign in using VPN

★ · v5.36.0 · Jul 16, 2026

For a privacy focused app denying vpn usage is absolutely insane. Do not use this without a vpn. Hell, don’t be on the internet without one.

Junk

★ · v5.36.0 · Jul 12, 2026

Hold text every hr hhr

Not understood

★ · v5.35.1 · Jul 9, 2026

This app will not let you receive calls at all!

Pathetic

★ · v5.35.1 · Jul 7, 2026

Simply pathetic service, cannot complete a call, tor as L waste of time and money.

To bad

★ · v5.35.1 · Jul 2, 2026

idk why i have 20 calls every day from randoms numbers

The worst app

★ · v5.35.1 · Jun 24, 2026

They posting fake reviews to attract more customers, the app is useless and does not work most of the time

This bloody app does not support landscape mode on the iPad

★★ · v5.35.1 · Jun 12, 2026

This bloody app doesn’t support landscape mode in the iPad. I have to be holding it horizontally like a daft twat to use it so earn the your stars you bloody wankers!

Doesn’t work

★ · v5.35.1 · Jun 8, 2026

Used to use this for overseas calls. Won’t let me now. And they took almost $10 for subscription for the month. Yet to get that money back

The opportunity

What would it take to build a viable competitor, what would it cost to run every month, and a prompt to get started. Generated from the reviews on file; one LLM call per brief. Set ANTHROPIC_API_KEY for a real brief; the stub only fills in a template.
