Good app to have if you need a second number fast for work purposes or personal reasons. However, there are caveats to it. 1) You get ads popping up after almost every call. 2) Certain features are only given once subscribed to 'lock in' for $1.99 Per Week. 3) If your job requires lots of calls, you will temporarily have your number dropped/suspended while free. 4) Latest bug includes freezing mid-call and won't hang up until you uninstall-reinstall the app.

I've been using TextNow for 5 years. It continues to be more and more restrictive with each year. From verification codes requiring payment, to now even verification calls. These are sometimes very important messages that us users need. And sure, 1.99 a week isn't a lot but its inconvenient, especially with the insurmountable amount of ads plaguing your app.

Thanks for your review, and we apologize for any inconvenience. Verification codes are not fully supported; you need to secure your number to your account. Ads keep the app free. If a specific ad negatively impacts your experience, please email community@textnow.com with details so we can improve.

App sucks. Calls drop. When calling someone, you can't even hear when calling someone. You can be on the phone with someone, and an incoming call will freeze your call, and your volume goes down. It's like a glitch issue. I hate it. If I have an incoming call, sometimes I can't even answer cause the accept or decline screen zooms back into the app. I had never seen anything like that before. this is the worst the app has got, and I have had this app and same number for years. It' not even worth.
