Ratings and reviews

The app has been stable, and does everything I need. With it, I'm able to make international calls (part of my Vonage plan) from my cell phone as if from home. Voicemail access is somewhat slow due to having to download the list of available voicemails each time, and listening to a selected voicemail is even slower. Other than these two speed issues, it's great!

This is a functional app, but I can't say it's very good. It does what it says - enables you to see and take calls to your Vonage "land line" on your cell phone, which is very convenient. I do wish the following behaviors could be improved. * When a call is ringing, you see caller ID information for it. However, in the history, only the phone number is displayed. It would be _much_ nicer if the history showed called ID, as the history on every every cell phone dialer app I've every experienced does. * If you _answer_ a call, it does not go in your history - only calls that you miss or initiate are recorded. This is incredibly inconvenient if your call drops, as you have no way to call them back unless you already knew their number. (This one strikes me as an outright bug.) * The answer and hangup buttons are right on the bottom of the screen. Because the screen activates when a call comes in, I can't count the number of times I've either answered or hung up on a call when simply pulling it out of my pocket. These buttons should be raised so that you can touch the screen edge without pressing them. There's more, but I'm out of space! :)

I've had the Vonage extensions app for several years. When I first started with it it worked well, then something happened and it wasn't functioning at all for a couple of years. Natalie minutes allotment was going towards my Vonage calls which cause my bill to go up about every month. I called to try to resolve it. Then just the other day, I had to reload the app, and it appears that the extensions app is working fine again. I do love the app, which enables my loved one to reach me wherever.
