Ratings and reviews

Using it for the past month; Works as advertised... but has too many annoying bugs for a Panasonic brand; Able to make and recieve calls from my Galaxy Note Lite and also a Oppo v7. An update with bug fixes will make this unique product more appealing. The overall experience is only as good as the app experience. Following are what I found: i) Occasionally when starting the app, it keeps vibrating/ringing even though there is no call. Workaround is to force stop. Very annoying. ii) Battery usage is high. Annoying. Please profile/optimize the app. iii) Behaviour on lock screen is unpredictable -- unusable/disabled it iv) UX -- please use more soothing colours in the call log and 'more' menu. The magenta is too jarring to the eye.

It works for demo purposes only.. For real life use , it is useless. It cant reconnect automatically, and it even remembers to ring 2 hours later , it looks like Panasonic has abandomed this device. But the issue is the software.. I bought this device for the ability to use my mobile phone as a client. But is totally useless, unless they will try to update the software.

I am sorry to say I am having a number of issues with this app. 1. The most annoying is that periodically stops: status bar icon disappears, and it won't react to landline calls. It is not a crash, at least there is no system notification about the app crash. It always happens the same way: I start the app at home where the base station is, it connects to the base station and works fine, then I go out, the app loses connection with the base station (icon turns red) but keeps on running, but when I check the phone after I returned home the icon's gone and the app is not running. 2. I cannot make intercom calls between two smartphones. DECT handset to smartphone and smartphone to DECT work fine, but other smartphones are just not listed in the intercom list of the app. 3. It is a bit of a battery hog. Not a horrible drain-your-battery-in-a-hour hog, but it is the top battery user on my phone by far. Later: It wasn't good and now it became even worse: why the heck version 2.7 needs access to camera? Why not only it requests access to location but refuses to work if it is not on? 2.6 didn't need any of it and worked... well, not very well, but it worked without it.
