Ratings and reviews

Still working with free version to be sure app has all features my mom needs before purchasing paid version. After extensive exploration of the free app, it doesn't seem like the app (free or paid) allows for checking voicemails. I can't locate a single button/option for accessing voicemails through the old-fashioned dialed voicemail or the more preferable/convenient 'visual voicemail' built into the Google Android Pixel system. Easy access to voicemail is pretty important but missing.

I installed this on both my 94 year-old father's phone and also on my own phone so I can follow along. The app solves the problem of clumsy fingers dragging things around by mistake. We also tried the phone and sms apps but since my father was already familiar with his native phone apps I reconfigured the BIG buttons to launch the old apps instead of the BIG apps. This works fine for both of us. The only downside of not using the BIG apps is that the SOS function can't automatically send a text.

I THOUGHT the app was decent until I attempted to push a number option for my doctor's office and received a pop up that stated this was only available in a paid version. Seriously?!? Something so simple has to be paid for? This makes this app completely USELESS! People are forced to pay to use a feature that should be free. I could see paying for other features but part of a simple call? Nope. You get 0 stars! UNINSTALLED!
