Ratings and reviews

I had a phone number for several years and then today. Poof! Without warning my number was deleted from the app along with years of call history even though my account is paid in full and has been on autopay through Google Play for years. Totally uncool! No warning or response from developer. They may be out of business? Not sure. Their customer support is a disaster .Be very wary about doing business with them if you use your number for anything you want to continue to have access to.

For some reason, this app is no longer working for me. I open the app and it freezes. Please help me with this Burner app back up and running. Can you give me a time frame into when this issue will be fixed? I CAN NOT USE THIS APP AT ALL. IF THE DEVELOPERS WISH ME TO CANCEL BECAUSE THERE'S IS NO FIX TELL ME PLEASE. I can take that verse You're sorry and that you're working on it and the big problem is nothing happens. I see that's true with other users as well.

Works great for calls and personal texting. Kind of hit-and-miss when it comes to receiving one-time verification codes. Some apps work just fine, some (I'm lookin' at you Signal) do not. Not sure why. You can "burn" the old number and get a new one though, so comes in handy sometimes for social media when you might want to "disappear" for a while. Overall, a handy, well-thought-out app with a decent user interface for managing your calls and texts. I like it.
