Ratings and reviews

Worst completely un reliable poorly performing app. Always shuts down. Doesnt transmit. Definitely not reccomended for any kind of emergency services. This will compromise the safety of your staff if communications is essential. Sonim phones are junk too. Poor non user friendly software. It's become a normal thing for them to fail and we just have become accustomed to the app failing. The microphones that come with it break all the time and pick up so much wind you literally cant use them.

this app is so horrible I don't even know where to start. you choose to only use wifi and then wifi stops working, even with fully functional data, it still has trouble doing anything. connecting to a call is glitchy and annoying, staying in a call is glitchy and annoying. constantly having to change internet connections to keep it going. I'm at my wits end with this app and if I didn't have to use it for work I would delete it and tell everyone I know to do the same. improve it or delete it.

Since I just bought a new device directly from Samsung I was pleased to find that Bell still managed to force bloatware into my personal device that is impossible to remove. Great job! I especially love how it serves no purpose. At least I now have the ability to disable it since it's not their phone. This is another example of how Google needs to add a way to rate negative stars.
