Excellent.

The app works for me fine, but I can't get a Bluetooth device to work with this app to save my life. I can only get sound out of one of my Bluetooth headset, no mic. My other doesn't give me sound or mic. Wired headphones with a mic worked once for me.

Awesome app, still giving it 5 star despite a missing simple feature that made it unusuable for me. When you have multiple SIP accounts setup from the same service you can't tell which phone line is ringing because the IP continues to change after each ring. The app should instead show the display name of the account thats ringing instead of an IP

I give up. Won't connect me to my account. Can't set up using my used number. Can't delete account. Linphone refuse to engage. Useless! Uninstalling now.

Adding pauses and waits does not seem to be fully supported. This makes calling extensions or voicemail cumbersome.

Missing a workable S.A.S. as far as has been seen. Several other problems. Not production ready.

Great soft phone! Works great with Asterisk based PBXs. A little bug I get is that occasionally a call starts with the speaker instead of the earphone.

Pete Morawski May 21, 2017

Excellent app, but would be better if it stayed in the background when swiping away the app, and speed dialing woke be nice too.

Gary Gottlieb June 13, 2017

This app will not let me set up an account keep getting in error message saying account not configured.

It works fine for me. My first softphone with many codecs.

JASON M CHRISTOS July 8, 2017

DO NOT USE. ZRTP does not work properly. Looks like a hook into some other network.

Lijitha Kunjumon June 30, 2017

Unstable software that crashes android when entering the validation key.

I tried using this app with a VoipBuster account. I found it a lot better than VoipBuster's own app! This app runs as a service meaning that incoming calls can be received at any time. There are some aspects that can be improved though! Better apps exist if one is willing to pay a little more!

Sometimes when you send messages from another phone like an IPhone to the android version of linguine it shows the previous message send by them but duplicated and you have to exit out of the thread view and back in to see the real message. Also the app would be 5 stars if it had VPN client in it so only phone calls and sip traffic get sent over VPN

No user friendly instructions on how to use it. I wanted to create an account - it asks for my phone number. It's personal information I'm not going to share it. Email and or username should be more than enough. I couldn't even try it.

Arman Yeghiazaryan April 19, 2017

The app doesn't work, I was unable to even register.

March 28, 2017

The app hungup the phone after 3 rings sometimes even only 2

Rishabh Bhardwaj May 2, 2017

I tried with my sip account, it's calling to another sip account without even check the status of that user. As that user was offline but it started call.

Ziad Qushair April 9, 2017

Terrible. Going back to csip!

Joseph Whittaker April 22, 2017

Stopped receiving messages with 7.x. any suggestions?

Social Spit March 9, 2017

Cool app- don't know how to use it, can this call regular phone numbers?

Hany Wagdy April 20, 2017

The most slowest programme I have ever seen

Great VoIP(SIP) client. Works with Ostel and supports ZRTP.

Boris Bratoev April 9, 2017

An excellent softphone app.

Best

Installed in my mobile running android 6.0. Voices are clear both ways. The problem is callers always hear their voices echo back. I've tried to enable the echo cancellation and reduce my speaker volume to 50% or less but the callers still hear their loud echo. Can't use this until this is fixed. Otherwise, a good product.

A very useful SIP/VoIP client app. THANKS. Developer REMOVED UnNecessary FEATUREs in last/Updated version, like these: Devices & Apps Usage History Data Collection, Reading Sensitive Log Files, Read/Modify Contacts, etc Which were Violating Privacy-Rights. So NOW this APP is RESPECTING USER'S PRIVACY & other RIGHTS (comparatively more, than similar apps). So we r now increasing review Stars. As its improved & its a less-bloated & privacy-respecting app.

MICHAEL ORFAO January 23, 2017

Awesome app! Tried other sip app to work with my provider and there was issues.This one works amazing and call quality is clear :)

February 11, 2017

Great app. Sound quality is good. Can"t understand why almost every one sticks to micro$uck$ $kype

Deniz B. February 25, 2017

Works well FritzBox 7360 as SIP server and calls come through clear (depending on WiFi connectivity of course) On my device it's unclear what background mode does, as the process is terminated if the app is closed (by hand or built-in task manager). I tried with Background mode on and off, does not make a difference.
