Ratings and reviews

Decent app which provides a free second number to call and text from for job seeking and/or dating. Typically, voice quality is pretty good over cellular data as well as wifi. First issue, when you type a message and don't send it, TextNow doesn't move that message to the top. There is no scheduling of messages at all. There is also no way to have a separate outgoing VM message for different contacts. ( really shouldn't be too difficult to set yourself apart from similar apps )

Half the time I can't answer it because the "talk" button doesn't respond. It keeps hanging up and muting my conversations because the designers put the mute and hang up button right where my head rests. And the resources are never available for the app to work smoothly and continuously. I would switch to another app but I use it as my direct phone number. The app offers sms and phone access and voicemail. I love this. And If you can fix these issues it will be great.

Ok I've used textnow for years and used to love it. Even now compared to other apps I would still recommend it. However, I'm not sure what's going on with them now. Now I call other textnow people, the sound just stops. the timer keeps going but neither can hear the other. Also, ads pop up in the middle of a call and shuts down the call also blocking audio. People are sending me pictures and videos that I never get and vice versa. My internet is 500mgbs. Def some issues nowadays
