  • Soooooo painfully slow

    I have been using this app for a couple years and it just keeps getting slower. I’ve archived messages and calls, and uninstalled and reinstalled so many times. Every time I get a text I click it to open the app and the message doesn’t show up so I refresh and wait… then I eventually have to close the app and reopen it and wait… then my messages finally appear, but not the new one… then I refresh again and wait… then the new message appears so I click the chat and wait for it to open. This happens every time I get a text. It’s usually faster to just walk to my computer, log in to that, open my browser, and log in to voice. I’m not even kidding, that’s how long it takes to load one message on the app.

  • ABANDONWARE! WORRIED THIS IS ABOUT TO BE DISCONTINUED

    5/2024: I miss the “view unread” feature!! Really lame that they removed it. Well, they haven’t abandoned it, but they can’t keep the version number straight between the App (24.2.599…835) and the App Store (> 300). For the last few days, it’s been frequently freezing. Hopefully, updating fixes that. 5/2020 I can’t even search for a call, text or vmail to or from a partial or full phone number ?!? Jul 2019: Please make it easier to google the phone # of a current or recent incoming call!! It takes ~a dozen confusing clicks currently! Why can't I set a default phone like I can when using the web-based app? ... call with Hangouts. Makes hard to use iPad as a phone! :-( 2018: This is perhaps my most used app. Arrgh!! More recently the app frequently crashes as I'm entering a text message! 😡 both on the phone I have running iOS 10 and the one running iOS 11. Arrgh!! Recently the app frequently requires I reconfigure it when I launch it. Update: I think they fixed that in around January 2018. See this note on the google play store app, re. Talkatone. Is this going to impact this Google Voice app too? I'm WORRIED. SPECIAL NOTE TO EXISTING TALKATONE FOR GOOGLE VOICE USERS: Talkatone will continue to support Google Voice users until May 15, 2014. After May 15, 2014 Talkatone users will no longer be able to access Google Voice through Talkatone because Google is discontinuing third party access to Google Voice on that date.
  • E-sim support needed

    I signed up to get a Google number. And the part where it says to enter a number to forward the calls to, which is my own personal cell phone, it will not accept my number saying it cannot be used to sign up as a Google voice number. I have an e-sim installed. My wife had no problem getting a Voice number, so why is my number not being accepted? I don't want to give out my personal number for my business.
  • Always malfunctioning

    The concept of this app is great. But the functionality is terrible. Half of the calls made to me doesn’t even go through. So I see a slew of missed calls but no ring. That’s bad for business. And many times I try making outbound calls, it’ll just reply “Call Failed.” Half of the time I open up Google Voice there’s a serious lag. I’d tap on an option and it’ll take 30-60 seconds to respond. I hate that my business phone is now tied to this app and I can’t find another option to replace this app. I hope Google Voice improves…

    Every time I get a message and go to open the app, the messages will not load for 1-2 minutes or the calls or the voicemails won’t load for a very long time. When I get calls and go to use different apps on my phone, maybe to check the calendar for example, the google voice app completely shuts itself down and removes itself from the cache. It’s extremely frustrating to deal with especially when I have important calls that I cannot call back. Please fix this, it’s been happening for almost a year and deleting and reinstalling the app doesn’t work.
  • Calls Fail Repeatedly

    My friend and I both use this. Every other time we call, we can’t hear each other. We keep saying, “hello, hello!” We have to hang up and call each other back, sometimes 2 or 3 times until we can hear, and it’s annoying as all get out!
  • Not letting me sign in

    Not letting me sign in, I tried multiple times on my phone and mac, I’ve been using google voice for years but then deleted the app to reinstall it because it was taking forever to load. Now I can’t access my account anymore
  • Contacts!!??

    Why am I not able to create contacts with existing numbers/chats in the app? I update them online but it doesn’t transfer to the app. So frustrating.
