the app is ok. I'm not a fan of how much money I have to spend to talk to my loved one but the issue I have with this app is anytime my wife calls me and I press 1 to initiate call the system drops the call. at first I thought it was my service or Internet connection at home but it also does it at my job where I have perfect signal. Our calls drop while we are mid conversation as well. this issue needs to be fixed.

Oh my Lord this app is awful. First of all, the inmate's voice plays from the small speaker that you're supposed to put your phone up to during a call, not the regular speaker that allows you to hear a person and see their face at the same time. And then most of the time he can't hear me at all! I've tried my Bluetooth headset and 2 different speakers.... 75% of the time he gets no sound on his end. But we still get charged. Video messages i receive are zoomed in like 4x. HATE THIS APP.

Really bad connections 90% of the time. 2 stars only because when we can hear each other and it's not frozen, we can communicate. Which is better than nothing. It seems whenever we get to talking about something important, the app stutters, freezes, but continues to charge. Revisited this review. App freezes and continues to charge more often than we're able to converse. It's annoying. In one call, she had to call back 10x. Each time she hung up, the indicator went immediately from 1 to 5 bars.
