Needs to be updated

Update: so, I'm unable to dial out now. When I press the green button to dial out, it clears the field where the number was an nothing happens. Also, when I try to receive a call, it hangs up after one ring. My original problem from two years ago still hasn't been fixed and in fact I'm actually using a google voice number now instead of the non working magic jack one. So, people try to call me on the google one and it routes it to here... however it only rings once if at all. Lately it just goes to voicemail which was the original problem two years ago. Mostly annoyed that I can't call out right now and I've been in love chat hold for 30 minutes now. The last update available for this app was back in January. Almost all year it hasn't worked for me when receiving calls. I'm able to make calls but not receive them. Waste. I've been using FREE Googlevoice since this doesn't work anymore.It's now 2017 and the problem hasn't been fixed.

Very frustrating

RickCThis app is has basic functionality, but it’s limitations and bugs under iOS 13 on the iPhone XR are beyond frustrating. When one opens the app, it takes a good while to load your iPhone Contacts, especially if you have a large number of then. When you lookup a Contact and open the details, then return to the list, you cannot clear the search text box or this I any longer because it has been moved partially off-screen at the top where iOS is displaying the time, status of LTE and WiFi connections and the battery level. When calling someone, it takes a few seconds after I speak before the recipient can hear me. Likewise when I answer a call. While I appreciate the value of MagicJack, the MagicApp is a huge disappointment and it hasn’t been updated in 11 months...

Love the service; not the app

Since the updated app has come along, my love for MJ has dropped faster than some of my calls. I understand the quality of my calls depends on my internet speed, and since I get very slow speeds, calls are not always great but that’s ok. Sadly, the updated app has made things worse for me. Now the app interrupts anything I’m doing on my phone and doesn’t let me dismiss the call. Sometimes it shows a “decline” button, (sometimes not), but what I really want is to keep using my phone and dismiss the MJ screen all together. It also constantly makes me log in again, it switched buttons around and still doesn’t show caller ID. And it does a super annoying thing: I get a text, I’m in the middle of answering it, same person texts another thing before I finish typing and when the new text comes thru, it erases all MY text I had just done!!! Makes me so frustrated that people will text one liners and as I’m trying to finish, my words get erased to let another, one-liner, text in. These things didn’t happen with the old app, so I hope a new update is coming ASAP, and I will return to my 5 star review.

No Brainer

Look, this is a no brainer. MagicApp has a user friendly interface. It could even be called attractive. You can text message/receive texts and call/receive calls, from non-app users. The ring is loud and easy to hear. The integration with your existing contacts is easy. The creation of new contacts is easy. The call quality is excellent. I've tried skype, talkatone, Rebtel, wechat, google voice, Google hangout, etc, and this blows them all away. The price is even decent! My only complaint is that I can't text pictures, but after seeing in comparison how crappy all the other apps are at allowing me to use my iPad pro as a phone, I'm giving MagicApp 5 stars. I use a plantronics voyager wireless single ear headset in combination with my cellular IPad Pro and this app, with no problems.

DON’T WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY

I’ve had this app for 2 1/2 yrs and until a couple months ago it was great. I had no problem making calls to my family in the states. But I was slow to update my IPhone 6. As soon as I did I’ve had issues trying to call my dad in the hospital. When you live overseas and only have a cell phone calling the states is extremely pricey. Older family members that don’t have the latest technology still believe in being able to pickup the phone and call you. Every time I try calling the call either starts going in and out so they can’t hear me or the app just goes offline. I’m not able to listen to my voicemails and incoming calls I cannot answer. I could understand if this was free still them not wanting to update it, but when you are paying for it, there’s no reason not to keep the service updated. Now I’m being told that I need to purchase something for in my house to make it work...not worth the time. Use to be great....but now this app is a joke.

They are developing a whole new version

The new one will have a new interface and everything. It is very very nice. It’s in beta testing and I was participating but had a serious issue regarding missed calls, so had to drop the new beta version. MJ has been wonderful, always dependable, always there when you need it. How can the price be beaten? When they release the new version, I honestly believe business for them will be through the roof. One thing they could try to work on is the quality vs data usage. Facebook uses half the data that MJ uses and I think fb may have slightly better quality. When I was using my jetpack internet only device, I went to facebook calling most times unfortunately. If they dev a good bitrate compression system, they could be very efficient over their own network! They may really benefit from it.

MJ on ios

Well. Month ago i refilled my IPP minutes. Around the beginning of month i noticed that im not getting spam calls on MJ. I opened app and i saw “none of your subscription compatible with ios”.I wrote to support and they said that now you have to have active subscription on your MJ device to work on iphone. So, ive started number port-out to prepaid tmobile. MJ didnt release number because i didnt have active subscription. I bought one year of subscription - transfer my number to tmobile and then i canceled my subscription. You need to cancel it in 24 hours. Also after 15-16 hours after i bought 1year - “cancel” button disappeared in orders. I had to call billing department. They tried to said that 24 hours passed but in the end they cancel my subscription and ive got refund. Now i will transfer my number to GV.So MJ changed they rules how they want. Thats ok, BUT they had to inform us that our MJ numbers wont work without active subscription. PS ive used them like 9-10 years. And mj app around 6 years.

Prove to be lam extremely unreliable and no customer service

Please read before you start using this service. I had experiences using magicJack long time ago when the company was little known by many about 15 years ago. Fast forward, I stop using it for many years as I simply had no need until recently. I started downloading the app and thought it would be great to me as it used to be. Dead wrong!, my phone number was disable abruptly with no explanation but small notes to contact customer service.1) it was almost impossible to contact customer service. 2) I must look them up on Facebook and chat with them thru there. They simple told me “the service was disable for violating section 6! I read the descriptions and I did none of them. I told them to give me specific example . They read and never response. Here is my advices for you. Please don’t use the app if you do . Be aware your business may be disrupted at their will. Basically, you paid them and they have all rights to stop you at anytime with no explaining.

Very frustrating

Good with some room for improvement

Overall, this app is good. The call quality is good, contacts can be stored and linked to your iPhone contacts, and text messages can be sent and received. I have some criticism: only SMS can be sent (that means no photos and text length is quite limited). So, sometimes someone texts me and I don’t get their text because it was a photo. other times they text me something long, and magicJack breaks up the text into several texts that are out of order. I then have to piece it together and figure out what the original text was.Another odd bug is the way that it causes the display on my phone to get messed up when I receive a phone call. When I receive a call, the system display (that shows carrier and Wi-Fi connectivity in the top left of the screen) no longer functions. It’s annoying but not a deal breaker. Recent app updates have improved this so it doesn’t happen as often.
