Sometimes OK, most of the time subpar. There are not only so many advertisements in the app between messages, after calls, so much that it feels like one of those spam apps. Call quality is substandard. There are so many times when the other party has difficulty in hearing you or vice versa, even when connected to wifi. The only advantage is that you get free calls and sms within Japan

most of the time a great app with good quality sound. it's a little quiet, and for some reason doesn't have good reception near Yodobashi Camera in Umeda but other than that, it's all good. Recently discovered that the app is dangerous. It doesn't work properly with Bluetooth. It can't be controlled by my car's system. This means that if someone calls while I'm driving, I can't answer it safely using hands free but have to try and retrieve the handset from my bag. This needs to be sorted out.

This apps is good for free call and free SMS as long as you have internet connection. Its not using your phone signal. The really minus point is some phone number cant go through this apps. I tried with one of my friend number, it have the notification that you re being called by that number, but can't connect. And last one I dont know if its only my phone or not, when you lock your phone, if there is incoming call, it just vibrate like receiving incoming message only and does not pop up.
