Ratings and reviews

The app says you get 5 free phone numbers per month but was forced to subscribe again to get a 2nd number. I got a message saying I was already subscribed, but was still double charged. Then, when you try to select an area code, most of them are "unavailable" according to the errors. When you try to use a random-generated number, you get a server error. Seems very buggy and a scam to get you to pay more money. Each text has limited chars so you have to send multiple texts, with no warning

I've been using Flyp for business and it had been working pretty well overall. It gets tricky when a call comes through because it will disappear after the first ring and if you have a screen lock in your phone some calls get lost completely. The app doesn't allow you to renew your subscription and once it cancels its over. There's no way to contact anyone. The app has a place to only email. Terms and conditions doesn't show anything so getting any assistance isn't easy if it's an issue

As of this review, I've had this app for 2-3 months and am cancelling my subscription to it. It works well enough, except it has one very critical flaw. I was using Flyp as a business line for my small business. Here is what happens: I receive a Flyp phone call, answer the call, speak and end the call. After the call is ended, the Flyp app is open on the phone's list of open apps. I open the app, and Flyp app CALLS THE PERSON BACK, except the app makes it appear as if I'm receiving a call (when in fact the app/phone is dialing out without my permission). It doesn't do this every single time, but it does do it consistently and it makes me look unprofessional as hell, in my opinion. I thought I had solved the issue by just closing out the Flyp app after every call, but I thought wrong, as when I tried doing this, the phone would still call the people back, it just did it on more of a delay. There is no phone number for Flyp customer support that I can find. All support questions are through email. Response times vary quite wildly, too wildly for any kind of reliability. The company appears to offer no support on the weekends. DON'T PURCHASE!
