Ratings and reviews

I downloaded this app because my friends are on it, and wanted me to join them. In trying to setup my account, it reach a point where it needs to send me an SMS message to verify my phone number. I never receive the message, and then it tells me I have to wait 48 hours to try again. I've tried all of the obvious things, like checking my permissions settings. There is no option to contact support without having an existing account, which I obviously can't setup. So the app is completely unusable.
