I have used this app for about 5 years, almost entirely for texting. However, on occasion I do you the app to make or take phone calls. Phone calls are delayed and have significant echoing, as with most wifi calling apps. Also, whenever I'm done with the call,, it is necessary to "Force Stop" the app in order to get any audio from my phone. This happens every time and can also be corrected by restarting the phone, but the force stop is much faster.

I have used this app with no issues for a couple years now, even putting some money in for extra call minutes. But recently the app has been using my microphone even when I have it closed. I don't like the idea of any app running silently in the background while listening. I have to edit permissions every call just to feel secure using the number I've kept for years. This needs to be changed.

App doesn't work when you leave the screen of the app, the person on the other line cannot hear me speak if I exit the screen of the app but could hear me speak when I get back to the app screen. Also, the audio sometimes doesn't play when I exit the app screen as well. Also, when trying to answer a call, sometimes the answer button is unresponsive. Lastly, too many ads causing the app to lag. Plus, number gets deleted if inactive for 30 days. And phone line is not secure, my info got leaked.
