## Reviews

### "good texting app" — 5.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *13 March 2021* | E-Learning | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I really like that this app will give you a personalized number that only you could use. that way other people will not have your number. you can text back and forth and since its a number people will actually reply to your texts
> 
> **Cons**: I didn't like that is not too user-friendly and that it has too many apps. sometimes my text would get confused by commercial texts or get lost between the apps.
> 
> I will use this application only if I really need to

### "Convenient wifi texting" — 4.0/5

> **Jerad** | *4 November 2024* | Photography | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: What I liked about TextFree was before I had a job so I could pay for phone service, TextFree gave me the perks of being able to text and call as long as I was connected to wifi. I know that they now offer actual service plans with sim cards as well.
> 
> **Cons**: What I liked the least about TextNow was,back when I used it, the fact that to use it I had to be connected to wifi.
> 
> Overall, TextNow was a really nice experience and I do recommend.

### "No support & Big Unresolved Bug in App" — 1.0/5

> **Matthew** | *28 November 2023* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Makes calls just fine but sometimes I do not hear it ring on incoming calls.
> 
> **Cons**: My TextFree App keeps, during calls forcing the speakerphone on and I have been trying to reach out to them for a year now and they never respond. I tried all the trouble shooting possible on my end and nothing works. I can lay my phone on the table with out even touching it and the speaker phone turns on and off causing my ears to burst with pain. Contacting Samsung next but I really think it has to do with the developer of the app and maybe google....
