User Reviews for textPlus: Text Message + Call

What??!!

I downloaded text plus for my iPad Pro 11.I had no idea when I downloaded it, that going it was going to be, my now favorite app. Not only is it easy to use,it works flawlessly. Granted, it’s a little annoying trying to earn credits, so I just paid for a year of unlimited talk and text. I don’t really talk on the phone, but if I have to, guess who’s doing it free? I pay for unlimited data, so this is a win/win! The only thing I don’t like,is that I paid for the unlimited talk and text, to keep my number a year, and add removal for a year, so why are there still ads trying to get me to earn credit? Please fix this because it’s super annoying. Other than that, good job! Y’all get this app,you won’t regret it!

Nuisance app

I initially thought this app was useful. After downloading I tried it for a few days and thought it was useful enough to pay to lock in the number for a year. That was a HUGE MISTAKE! Since locking in the number it receives daily calls from nuisance telemarketers originating in area codes from all over the country. Evidently the company behind the service sells the locked in number to all manner of ‘fly by night’ telemarketers. Many of the dialers seem to use numbers that originate on google voice. Additionally they are using a robodialer as in many cases the number I paid to lock in is dialed repeatedly (in one instance more than 50 times in succession!). As I paid to lock in the number I will retain it for the year but i will not pay not one penny more. I have enrolled the number on the National do not call registry every day I still receive abusive calls. ENROLL IN THIS SERVICE AT YOUR PERIL!

Don’t use this app

I don’t recommend using this app if you are planning to use the number more than once. It says in the application if you don’t want to purchase the number then you must ensure logging in to the app more often - within less than seven days - to continue using it for free. I did! The number was linked to my emails and other accounts. I can’t access any now because simply I found out the application has reclaimed the number (even though I was signing in on a daily basis as instructed) without any warning or notification! I can’t log in to any of my accounts now because it’s linked to that number! I write to the customer service and they did nothing but blaming me.Not mentioning that you can use this number for any social media accounts like instagram, Facebook, TikTok, Snapchat, telegram, WhatsApp and many others.My bad for using this service and their service is a shame.

Buggy and support has been unresponsive

We use this for a business, as when we opened we opted to not have a phone. It is primarily used on an iPad, and it consistently freezes, doesn’t load texts, or doesn’t send outgoing texts. I have this loaded on my personal phone as a way to actually be able to get the texts that will not load on the iPad. I don’t want to have to have this on my phone as well, but that does work most of the time for retrieving the texts we can’t load. The incoming calls setting has been disabled, but it still allows them, which is frustrating for both our guests and ourselves. This feature is disabled on both the iPad and my phone. I have emailed support twice about this and gotten zero response. This is our main issue with this app. The owner of the business does not want to install a phone. Otherwise we wouldn’t be using this.

This used to be the best app for people without iPhones. Now it’s just an ad trap.

Back when I had an iPod gen 2, the gen 3 was coming out with camera and microphone. Mine didn’t have any of that. So I used the original apple earbuds that came with it. You could call anyone in the US for however long you wanted. I would talk to my mom for so long at school!Now that I have an iPhone, I wanted to call someone without giving them my exact number, and I remembered this app existed. WOW did it change. You have to watch a 30 second ad for every 30 seconds worth of call. Not only that, if you or the other party hangs up before those seconds are over, the system decides the credit has been fully used, and so far when testing it, (watched 4 ads which is 2 minutes, called for 34 seconds) it completely “eats” the remaining time. i guess i’ll stick to gmail’s phone service. at least you don’t have to watch an ad every 30 seconds. and actually seems to have even better connection. for free!

Hey Developers, Use Your Own Apps!

Let's forget the fact that the creators of this app have not made an easily discernable distinction between it and the identical Next + app. Why are there two of the same exact app operating simultaneously through the I store?!I will say I used to like this app, and appreciate that has stored and restores all my old texts to my new phones. I used it as my secondary line. However, you'll spend about 20% of the time fighting the barrage of adds that appear WHENEVER YOU SWIPE BACK FROM A TEXT STRING. If I didn't have year's old texts I wanted to keep on there, I would prefer to never open the app again just to smash the screen because the 15th add in five minutes needs a Cypher to dismiss it from the phone! Developers, there's no way you could possibly use this app and allow it to be such a circus show.

Won’t let me create account

This app is useless and a waste of time after installing this app and then trying to create a account and then keeps saying oh no error or whatever the freak. here I took my spare time finding and installing this useless peace of junk app and then I use a existing email of mine to sign up and then everytime I try to sign up it gives me a loading wheel and then says oh no error try again later. This was so frustrating and a waste of time and is making me think the rest of the texting app will be crappy to and not a good liable fully trusted texting app now either. for all I know this texting app won’t function correctly either.”Text+ had an error please try again”. “Text+ had an error please try again”. “Text+ had an error please try again”. Cant sign up to this darn thing so it’s useless and it’s pointless and should bill you text+ developers for all the waste of time I spent.

Nice app- but bugs to address

Really like using it to have an alternate number. But I wish that some issues are addressed soon: 1. When on wifi, cannot make or receive calls. Basically outgoing call fails, incoming call gets dropped as soon as answered, which forced me to disable wifi and use network data for calls. 2. Any video I receive, plays back without sound. 3. Can't receive pictures from T-mobile cell customers. 4. In the latest version, the keyboard hides my text input box. 5. Also in the latest version, at other times the text input box is buried way at the bottom edge of the screen, to the point I can't tap it to enter my message. Thanks for your attention.

Fix the BUGS!!

This app definitely needs a fine tuning and revamping. I cannot even put into words how annoying it is that this app picks and chooses when it wants to operate properly. Constantly freezing and slowly buffering, even with an unlimited data plan and strong wifi connection. One thing that definitely works for sure are the irritable ads, each time you return to the main screen. Trying to go back and reread old messages is another challenge, nonetheless trying to look through sent and received photos as well without making the app freeze then. If your issues are like mine, then this app won’t cooperate with you for days at a time and call quality is just not up to par. Calls get dropped frequently and messages will not deliver. Please work on this and improve the quality of this app.

Fix this issue

This app used to be a go to app for free/cheap texting and calling. Now, it’s just immensely buggy. People call/text me, and their number shows up as “Unknown” and it’s not blocked because blocked numbers show up as “Restricted”. Their texts show up double or triple on my end. Also, my texts are not going through. When I try to call people, the app either will not let me, or it also has a habit of hanging up in the middle of the conversation. I also think that it’s cheating to use my paid minutes before the person even answers the phone, the minutes should be deducted once they answer. I have to also keep the phone on speaker, and not tilt the phone, because if I do, the minutes go from example “30 mins” to “- - -“ and the call briefly disconnects and neither of us can hear each other, until I tilt the phone back. So that means I can never tilt the phone onto my face. What’s that about. Kind of disappointed.
