Ratings and reviews

As always, Japanese apps have 0 thought given to international users even though it's written in English. Tried to sign up in app, but it only accepts Japanese numbers. No option to input a + for international numbers. Wonderful, classic Japanese UI design process

From USA. I bought an eSim service from holafly (any short term eSim) which doesn't support voice service here in Japan. This app requires SMS service to communicate with a customer, I can't even register to use it. Since you can't get voice service in Japan, this app is useless for any short term travelers.

Earlier I was not happy with this app. so stopped using it. The main reason was not having English language facility in the app. But now I see that the app is updated! all the features are available in English. That's certainly great and have started usingvit again! Five star without any doubt!
