TextNow Edited: Jul 01 2023
Summary: Good app. Very good, the only one like it. No one can beat TextNow. It's the only one free if you get the sim card.
Positive: Great to use. It doesn't crackle or lose signal it really helps you keep in touch with family and you can hear so you don't miss a thing. Great context. The app is customizable and I use it every day my friend uses it at his business.
Negative: It says free but it's not. Sometimes you can't use it when you go under ground. And everywhere you go.

Very poor product. Date: May 05 2024
Summary: The app is so bad that I purchased another cheap phone, and pay for a real extra phone line now. It's slightly more expensive, but the way they do business at text now (pay walls for basic services) is slimey to me, and I will never support them again.
I do not understand why I keep seeing high ratings online. Everyone I know who uses this app thinks the same way I do about them.
1 star.Positive: Was great before the company introduced all the pay walls. Now a barely serviceable extra line.
Does not drop the majority of calls.Negative: App selectively does not ring or alert you to texts (even after applying company prescribed fixes).

Have to pay to get access codes, or they are willfully blocked. The price is ridiculous.
Ads everywhere for you to accidentally click on.
App pirates your phone after some texts, and makes you watch a full commercial, in the middle of your conversation. Solution is to close the app, and reboot it. Loading time is slow.
Can you imagine if you were in trouble?!
I actually paid to have my number reserved for a few months, and found out that it is a separate charge to get access codes, despite it not being advertised that way.
