Google Voice VM now part of Android’s phone app

Thu, 22 Mar 2012 20:57:36 UTC +00:00

GigaOm

Google Voice on Android 4.0 devices gained a new feature with a software update on Thursday, allowing users to listen to their Google voicemail directly in the native phone app. Voicemails will no longer be limited to the Google Voice app but instead will appear in the phone’s call log, just like standard carrier voicemails. From the Google Mobile Blog: Your voicemails will appear alongside your outgoing, incoming, and missed calls in your phone’s call log and you can just simply touch them to play them. You can slow down the playback of the message which is great for when someone is telling you their callback number, or you even speed playback up, so you can quickly listen to longer messages. Although Google Voice is supported on multiple mobile platforms, it’s unlikely — if not impossible — that this type of integration will appear on iOS, Windows Mobile, or BlackBerry handsets.

Google Voice for Android now includes ICS Voicemail integration

Thu, 22 Mar 2012 21:45:30 UTC +00:00

IntoMobile

Google has updated Google Voice for Android with a kick-ass deep integration feature that puts the Android 4.0 dialer in use, allowing users to view and listen to their Google Voice voicemail in their standard call log. It’s the first implementation of visual voicemail we’ve seen that’s based on the ICS API. Ice Cream Sandwich (Android 4.0) owners can expect other cool features like an updated user interface that resembles the search giant’s ICS holo theme, with a new menu bar at the bottom of the screen. Google’s also included the ability to slow down or speed up message playback, which it says will be helpful for focusing on voicemail details or speeding through long messages. It’s simple to enable these new features, all users have to do is download the latest application and check “voicemail display” in Google Voice settings. Overall, Google has done a great job handling Google Voice, keeping it Read More

Google Voice for Android updated with ICS-style look and feel, asynchronous SMS sending

Thu, 09 Feb 2012 10:08:08 UTC +00:00

IntoMobile

Google Voice for Android got a small update and now the application looks like it’s tailor-made for the latest version of the platform – Ice Cream Sandwich. In addition, it now comes with asynchronous SMS sending support (offline queuing), though when sending texts to multiple recipients, it will still work synchronously. Tablet users on their end will notice a few differences on the surface such as a Click-to-Call button added to the main interface and integration into the People/Contacts app… And that’s about it. Nothing major, though still worth installing… at least for the benefit of having your phone look like it’s running Android 4.0 apps. Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what Read More

Google Voice Calls To The U.S. And Canada To Remain Free Until The End Of 2012

Android News, Reviews, Applications, Games, Phones, Devices, Tips, Tutorials, Hacks, Videos - Android Police

While the Google Voice app has always been free, there was speculation that voice calls to the United States and Canada would begin to cost you money at the beginning of next year. However, new Google Voice users are being greeted by a pop-up window when they first use the Call Phone feature in Gmail that indicates otherwise. See there? Calls to the U.S. and Canada are free in 2012. If there is anything I love more than free voice calling, it's another year of entirely free calling through Google Voice. And to think...several years ago people were feeding money to machines at gas stations just to make phone calls. If you don't already have Google Voice, pick it up below. Google Voice Read More

Google Voice app update; text to multiple recipients, pre-fetch voicemails | Android and Me

Thu, 17 Nov 2011 18:21:22 UTC +00:00

Android and Me

At last! Google listened to us and just updated the Google Voice app (version 0.4.2.38) with two of the best features we’ve seen in a while. One of them we’ve been requesting for a long time. Yes, my friends. We can finally send a text message to multiple recipients, simultaneously. Just keep adding those contacts to the recipient box, write your message, hit “send,” and you’re good to go. It’s that simple. To make things even better, Google has also added another feature with this update. Until now, it hasn’t been possible to listen to voicemails without an internet connection. It’s hard to find yourself without internet, but it happens. We can now ease our minds, since we’ll be able to get our voicemails even without a data connection. Google Voice can now pre-fetch voicemails, allowing you to listen to them later on while on the road (without internet). This is Read More

Google Voice for Android Updated with Mass Texting and Voicemail Prefetch

iPod Touch Fans

posted by Trey Trawick on Wednesday, November 16, 2011 at 2:36 pm. Google’s native Voice client for Android has been updated with a powerful new mass texting feature that makes it an even more viable replacement for old school SMS. If you’re on Sprint, we highly recommend integrating Voice into your account, so you can stop worrying about those pesky SMS fees. Plus, you can answer calls through Gmail and send and receive messages through the Voice website, so you’ll be able to keep in contact with your friends from the comfort of your computer. The app is now able prefetch voicemails to reduce the wait time when listening to missed calls, and the notification system has been improved. Read More

Google Voice lands MMS to email forwarding support | Android and Me

Mon, 17 Oct 2011 02:38:00 UTC +00:00

Android and Me

One of the most heavily requested features for Google Voice has undoubtedly been MMS (Multimedia Messaging Service) support. The Google Voice app for Android has been tackling voice and text with ease for quite some time now, but pictures have always been an issue for the service. Thanks to a clever workaround from the Google Voice team, that’s becoming a thing of the past. From now on, when someone tries to send an MMS to your Google Voice number, the MMS will be forwarded to your email. In order for this to work, you just have to follow one easy step. Log into your Google Voice account online and enable text to email forwarding in the settings. That’s it. Right now, the official Google Voice Blog is saying that MMS to email forwarding will only work with Sprint customers. However, Life Hacker is reporting that it’s working fine for Virgin Mobile Read More

Google as an app developer has released various applications in the Android Market and some of these come pre-installed on most Android devices – like Gmail, Google Maps, and Google Search. But others have to be downloaded from Android Market; we have compiled a list of these apps that have been developed by Google. The number comes around 40 apps, although we have tried our best, but we might have missed a few. But not all applications are available in every country and every device; some are regional apps as they support only certain languages or certain apps might support only few device types. So, the best way to check if one of these apps is available in your country is to go to the phone/tablet based Market app and try searching for that particular app – if it comes in the search results than you are good to go.

Google Voice For Android Finally Updated With Fixes For Self-Pausing Play Button And Delayed Notifications

The Google Voice app for Android, which I've been using as my primary voicemail provider after gladly abandoning Sprint's own visual voicemail, saw its first update in many months today, which, among other things, finally fixed the most annoying bug that's been plaguing it for as long as I can remember. The bug I am talking about is, of course, having to click the Play button a second time after you've already clicked it once (the voicemail would stop playing 0-2 seconds into the call requiring this second press). Hallelujah! The other bug fixes and enhancements in today's update v0.4.2.34 are: Grab the update in the Market or by using the widget below. Google Voice Read More

Google Voice coming to Android 3.0 Honeycomb soon, XOOM too

Wed, 09 Mar 2011 17:26:00 UTC +00:00

IntoMobile - Cell Phone News, Information, and Analysis

Wishing your your Motorola Xoom had some Google Voice lovin on it? Looks like Google is working on the application as we speak to make it more tablet friendly – or, should we say, more Android 3.0 Honeycomb OS friendly? Many people rely on Google Voice now, and a dedicated app is a must, so it’s good to see that Google is working to bring the popular app/service to the Xoom and its Honeycomb OS. As it stands today, you can access your Google Voice account from the browser on your Android Honeycomb tablet, but you won’t receive notifications of new calls, text messages, or voicemails – that’s just how it goes when you don’t have access to a dedicated app. Another downside to using Google Voice from the browser that users have been reporting is that voicemail messages will not play. This makes you stuck reading the horribly, though often comical, Read More

Finding stellar Android apps isn't the easiest task, but that certainly doesn't mean they don't exist. Here's the cream of the crop. Twitter: The official Twitter app is good enough for almost everyone. Along with giving you a clean, easy way to keep track of your timeline and updating your status, Twitter for Android also has a snazzy swipe down to refresh feature. Free. Facebook: Facebook is finally decent on Android and now actually brings some unique features, namely the front page side-scroll of friend's recent photos and a pull up notification window. Free. Google+: It's Google's big soiree into social "sharing". The app has it all: a stream that shows what your friends are talking about (like Facebook), Huddle which is an easy to set up group chats (like GroupMe) and will even automatically upload the pictures you take on your phone to the cloud (like iCloud). Once you get Read More

Google Voice acting up for some | DroidDog Android Blog

Not quite sure how widespread this problem is, as it’s still developing, but word on the web is quite a few GV users are having problems using the service today. Problems have been ranging from calls never being connected, to calls being connected, but going out from a random number, to everything in between. Personally, I have been experiencing the random number bug. I’ll call out from Google Voice as normal, but the receiving caller is greeted with a number I don’t recognize. Google is aware of the problems and has released the following statement to TechChrunch: “We’re aware of the issue, which is affecting some Google Voice users, and are working on a fix.” Helpful eh? At least a fix is being worked on. Are you experiencing any problems? Let us know in the comments. Read More

He is currently an advisor to Appolicious. In his previous guest posts, he gave us his picks for top iPhone apps. With the ubiquitous media coverage surrounding the iOS (iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch) app market, it’s important to remember that Android also is making huge headway.

There is finally a larger selection of models being manufactured and more carriers offering them. When the first Android device launched, I predicted that the OS would surpass iPhone in the coming years.

The Best "Evil" Apps for Android

Lifehacker, tips and downloads for getting things done

With a more wide-open app Market and some seriously dedicated hackers, there's all kinds of mischief you can get up to with an Android phone. Here are some of our favorite apps for skirting fees, defeating corporate branding, and other kinda-sorta "Evil" maneuvers. Note: For a look at the flip side of the mobile OS coin, check out the best "Evil" apps for iPhone. Why does an app made by Google, and supported by most major carriers, merit any kind of mention during Evil Week? Think about the big picture. Sure, getting your friends to call a brand new number is a hassle, and the app isn't as reliable as, say, the bedrock dialer app on your phone. But once you're in, and once your callers are trained, you're doing a lot of things no business interest wants you doing.

We're going to have to see how useful it is, given that transcripts often are as accurate (albeit comical) as a 4-year-old with a mouthful of marbles. But, yes, it's getting better, and we all need to be able to search it. Read More

Why You Want Google Voice on Your iPhone: Tech News «

Thu, 30 Sep 2010 16:46:46 UTC +00:00

GigaOM

After over a year in limbo, Apple has reportedly approved Google’s Voice application for the iTunes App Store, indicating that the iPhone may finally see the popular software, says TechCrunch. Initial thoughts for the rejection last year were based on AT&T’s involvement, but Google Voice is available for AT&T devices on other platforms, such as those running on the BlackBerry and Android operating systems. It later became clear that Apple held up Google Voice since it replicates native features on the iPhone. Now that Apple has loosened developer restrictions for iOS devices, Google’s app could find its way to iOS devices once Google updates it to support multitasking for iOS 4. If you’re not familiar with Google Voice, I highly recommend you take a closer look at the software. Essentially, it can be used to route incoming calls to multiple handsets, landlines or VoIP services. You can even schedule which of your phones are active Read More

Before you jump the gun and say iPhone does have Google Maps, we’re talking about Google Maps Navigation the turn-by-turn driving, walking and public transit feature atop of Google Maps!

What may be surprising is that there are not one, but two of these widgets: a widget that shows the messages you have in your inbox: as well as the same widget for managing your Voice settings that was leaked a few weeks ago: What may be an even bigger surprise is that Google has now made both of these widgets available to non-G2 devices through the Android Market. The widgets are available today via an update to the existing Google Voice app and allow users to: Google Voice has always been a great service (and certainly one that I and other members of the Android Police team use on a daily basis), and it looks like it just got quite a bit better for owners of just about any Android device.

Google Maps for Android Gets Turn-By-Turn Walking Directions, Satellite Imagery

Fri, 10 Sep 2010 00:00:00 UTC +00:00

ReadWriteWeb - Web Apps, Web Technology Trends, Social Networking and Social Media

For smartphone owners, asking people on the street for directions is quickly becoming a thing of the past. Why bother trying to remember a series of turns and landmarks when your phone can do that and more? Who needs confusing descriptions when you have satellite and Street View imagery? Android users certainly don't. Google has added "Walking Navigation", a marriage of walking directions, turn-by-turn GPS navigation and satellite imagery, to the newest version of Google Maps for Android. The latest addition comes as a part of Google Maps for mobile 4.5 for Android. It takes walking directions, which takes advantage of pedestrian pathways, overpasses and other such things, and pairs them with turn-by-turn GPS directions and satellite imagery. Simply enter the address of where you're trying to go, chose the "Walking" option from the navigation icon and the app will guide you, following along and vibrating when you reach the next Read More

Android App Brings Google Voice to Home Screen - PCWorld

Reviews and News on Tech Products, Software and Downloads - PCWorld

Google today released an update to its Android app for Google Voice, a free phone management service that provides U.S.-based users with a single 10-digit number for all of their phone lines, including cellular, landline and VoIP. The revised app adds two new widgets to Android's home screen, thereby making it easier for users to access Google Voice's inbox and settings. The Inbox widget displays the user's most recent voicemails and text messages on the home screen. "You can now quickly flip though messages in your Inbox with the widget, and selecting any message preview will open it in the Google Voice app," wrote product manager Marcus Foster on the Google Voice Blog. The Settings widget, the second home-screen addition, features four icons that provide fast access to key features including: 1) the full Google Voice app; 2) a free text-messaging tool; 3) calling preferences; 4) the Do Not Disturb setting Read More

The biggest change to Google Voice for Android is the inclusion of widgets, a first for the app. After downloading the app from the Android Market, merely go to Menu/Add to Home/Android Widget, and you’ll see “Google Voice Inbox” and “Google Voice Settings” in the list. Choose both and add to your home screen. Once there, you can easily access your voicemails (think Visual Voicemail, without the propensity for randomly calling your contacts), listen to messages, read transcripts (which are still, sadly, incomprehensible) and respond by free, Google Voice texts or regular text messages. Google Voice texts do, in fact, work when sent to people who don’t have the app. Also, you can use the Settings widget to get Read More Android Apps for Back to School 2010 | andrew | Androinica Mon, 30 Aug 2010 00:00:00 UTC +00:00 Androinica Imagine my surprise when a drive that normally takes me 4 minutes took 20 thanks to the school buses suddenly on the road.

On Thursday, Google updated its Google Voice apps for Android--our hands-down winner--and BlackBerry, the runner up. (If you must know, we declared the iPhone experience to be "a load of crap.") A modest enhancement to Google Voice on Android and BlackBerry tweaks the back-end calling mechanism to make dialing a faster process when you call out. Though there's no real change to the feature set on the front end, Google says that callers should notice quicker connection times. Calls took longer to place through the previous apps because the software needed to request an access number from the Google Voice server before achieving a ringtone. Google has cut out a few steps in the process it's now calling "Direct Read More Five Helpful Android Apps for the Office - PCWorld Business Center Thu, 01 Jul 2010 00:00:00 UTC +00:00 Reviews and News on Tech Products, Software and Downloads - PCWorld The number of Android apps has surpassed the 50,000 mark, and is increasing daily.

Here are ten good reasons why: 1) Be local, even when you're not: When setting up Google Voice, you have the option of selecting a phone number with the area code of your choice. So what's the small business benefit? Let's say you run a catering service that's based in San Jose, CA (408 area code), and you'd like to attract customers in nearby San Francisco (415 area code). By choosing a 415 number and making it the public contact number for your business--at least in your San Francisco-based ads, anyway--you may lure more customers from SF. (I'm assuming you'd also have a 408 number for your San Jose clientele.) Some industries benefit from a local presence. 2) Phone Read More Four major holes in Google Voice | Crave - CNET Wed, 23 Jun 2010 00:00:00 UTC +00:00 Technology News - CNET News ...reviews news downloads cnet tv On The Insider: Sorry Fellas, Megan Fox is Engaged log in join CNET welcome, my profile log out Latest News CNET Ri...

No need for an invitation. Google Voice is a service provided by Google that lets users customize their telephone experience by giving them one number that can forward to a number of different devices based on user preferences such as time of day or the contact who is calling. The service also provides a voicemail box which users can access not only on their phones, but on the web as well. It even has text transcribed voicemails for those times where you can't listen to each one. I've fully switched over to using Google Voice about 6 months ago and I love it. Using the Google Voice Android app, I get text messages, low international call rates and voicemails that I can read.

I put aside my iPhone, which has been my faithful companion for three years, to give the new kid a try. I spent a few hours with it, here are some first impressions: Taking it out of the box, my first thought was, man, this thing is huge. You don't want a holster to hang this from your belt, you'll need to drag it around in a wheelbarrow. However, when you pick the EVO up it endears itself to you. I'm a big believer that choosing a mobile device isn't just a rational choice -- a matter of speeds and feeds. The choice is also emotional. Do you like using the device? Does it feel good? Do you enjoy using it?

Ask any of my friends and they will probably agree (to be fair, I don’t think they do a very good job of introducing people either). I tend to think it is easier to simply skip that part and jump right in, but in any case, hello world. Like I said, I tend to find jumping right into the thick of things to be the easiest way to go about getting acquainted, so I have compiled a list of the five Android apps I can’t live without that will maybe reveal a bit about myself in the process.

Listen, Shopper, and Voice all received updates today, but most appear to be minor. The notable update here is the new inbox synchronization in Google Voice.

Unfortunately, as of the time of this posting, the app is not yet available, which means I cannot offer any insight as to how well it works. That said, once available you will be able to find it in the Android Market. As to what we can expect, according to other reports, the app will be nicely integrated with Android including having the ability to use your existing address book. A few of the key features include allowing the user to make and receive calls that display their Google Voice number as opposed to their cell number, send and receive text messages, check your voicemail, read the transcription of your voicemail (which is delivered by text or email) as well as view your calling history. As to when exactly we Read More Google Voice app for Android gets an update, improves call management and adds additional notification settings | Google Android Blog Wed, 29 Jul 2009 00:00:00 UTC +00:00 Androinica The official Google Voice app for Android has only been available for a short while, however that has not stopped Google from already offering a welcomed update. The new version is 0.1.415 and can be downloaded directly from the Android Market. In terms of what is new. To begin with, the app now allows you to better control when you are using your Google Voice account as opposed to your regular number. With the new version, it is no longer all or nothing and allows you to choose from options that include always using your Google Voice number to only using it for international calls. You can also set it to not use Google Voice for any calls or have it ask before each call is made. Additionally, the new version also adds more alert settings for voicemail and SMS notifications. But perhaps best of all is that the Google Voice Read More Tips: Here’s a much easier way to control Google Voice depending on location | Google Android Blog Thu, 25 Feb 2010 00:00:00 UTC +00:00 Androinica The Android world was abuzz yesterday with a tutorial to have Google Voice know which phones to ring depending on location. The tutorial had a great premise but was flawed by its set-up and dependence on Locale. Though I’ve loved Locale since its inception and considered it to be a top Android app, it now costs $10 and doesn’t perform as well as it did when still in beta. I found an easy solution for changing Google Voice settings based on location courtesy of AndroidCentral. Google Voice Locations makes it easy to manage GV activities. Similar to Locale, the app creates profiles based on GPS coordinates. Users can then edit those profiles to trigger actions, so a GV number would ring the home phone when someone is in range of their “Home” profile. It would then ring the office phone when near “Office” or ring the mobile phone during “Elsewhere,” a Read More Google speeds up notifications and reply features in Google Voice Android app | Google Android Blog Thu, 25 Mar 2010 23:48:56 UTC +00:00 Androinica Google has finally updated the Google Voice application to provide faster notifications. A new feature called Inbox synchronization notifies Android users seconds after they have received a new text message or voicemail. This is a major improvement over the previous notification system that could take as long as 15 minutes to go into effect. The Google Voice Android application is available for download in the Android Market for U.S. users. The latest version also includes improved contact functions that make it easier to contact or respond to people. Clicking a user’s name will bring up options to call their speed dial, bring up their contact entry, send an SMS text message, email, or open Google Talk (provided the person has an account linked to their contact entry). Download the new version of Google Voice and activate the faster notification by following Google’s instructions: To activate Inbox synchronization, open the Google Voice Read More 6 Free Android Apps That Will Make You Drop Your iPhone Thu, 25 Mar 2010 05:21:19 UTC +00:00 Social Media News and Web Tips – Mashable – The Social Media Guide by The Android Market may still lag behind the iPhone App Store in terms of variety and quality, but there is something to be said for the Android operating system’s extremely tight integration with existing Google products, and the wide choice of devices and carriers. There’s no question that the iPhone has many wonderful apps, but Android’s smart syncing with existing tools, interesting Android-only experiments coming every day from Google employees, and its open marketplace model have yielded some tools that may give the average iPhone user pause. If you’re looking for a change, or you’re in the smartphone market and still weighing the pros and cons, consider these Android-only apps and how they might fit into your work, play, and mobile lifestyle. 1 of 5 There's no denying that the iPhone OS is a gorgeous piece software.

You may have thought an app meant to replace your phone's functions would already be doing that, but in reality, Google Voice delayed notifications for 15 minutes by default. You could change this to 5 minutes or force a refresh manually, but many don't bother tweaking settings or obsessively refreshing just to see if they have new messages. Now that's no longer necessary - messages are delivered almost immediately. According to news posted on the Google Voice blog, the new notification feature called "Inbox Synchronization" will notify your Android-powered device (sorry, iPhone users!) of new messages "within seconds" of receiving them.

Think about the possibility of texting anybody in the us from overseas using your phone thru WiFi. Ney Not IP calls Why an app for Google voice would make you pay for a call? GrooveIP does it. Nicole Nicole Love this app! Jonas Google Voice SMS Great feature from Google Voice. Finally able to text without paying ridiculous amounts for nothing.

I love this app, but I would love it much more if emoticons were added. Along with picture messaging. The translation is rarely correct, but It's entertaining. Makes sure you have to listen very carefully to voicemail... I believe that more people would install this on their phones if it have picture messaging and emoticons. Thanks for a great app otherwise! mirza Terrible Terrible, terrible, terrible!! I can not say this enough. It will take over your phone, your voicemail and text messages. Once uninstalled, you won't have voice mail and will not be able to receive texts. You will be on the phone with sprint for an hour trying to fix this. They very very helpful but still you just wasted a few hours of your life. The rep said to me "aha, google voice strikes again" Alex great but honeycomb?

Why on my echo from sprint I cant choose what num im callin from? Not liking this change. Smmfh Michael Would give it 5 stars if they could figure out how to fix the "call received from UNKNOWN CALLER" issue. Otherwise love it. William Was great until a few weeks ago. Now when someone calls they have to re-enter number. Erik For about a week nothing bit network errors, everything else works but Google voice, any answers? Jimmy Awesome app, it has a very small delay but works so great and has so many upside that it's a must have app. trulyblest Never had a problem UNTIL this update. How can I roll it back to the prior version? Jon Phone app Doesn't allow texting of multiple people at once despite being able to on the web app. Jim No notifications, no updates to inbox and multiple fc make this update unusable. Was awesome before though, please fix! I am using google voice for voicemail and transcription is pretty good, at least good for a laugh. I am constantly having to sign back into it. Cai Unless I configured it wrongly, this is poorly integrated with Sprint service. Greg Installed this on both HTC Inspire and Toshiba Thrive tablet. Works perfectly on the phone, lets me text & make calls out from my GV number. No calling available from the tablet, but I can still send and receive texts from my GV number! That feature alone is great for me. Mario Most low ratings cuz ppl can't setup rite. works great, but plz google give us some customization/skins, the ui is so plain and boring. Love this app Mike Texts don't always show up, new threads are started randomly with people I've already been texting, app is very slow. Andrew App constantly crashes and fails to notify about new messages. Problems when losing reception and then returning to area with reception. HTC Legend. ray Since download can not clear new voicemail notification from banner. No vm on voice or vzws vm. Fix this bs it makes me crazy. Maybe then 3 stars... kevin This used to work no problem on Verizon Droid. Now not working. Google please fix.... stevexyz The app always says "transcript not available" but if you check the web interface it's there. Msgs arrive up to 7 hours late. Mike Currently rating 3 stars. I use GV as my primary number, the notifications are now broken (intermittent). Jordan I dont know what it is but this app takes forever and a day to open whether you use the notif bar or the shortcut to get to it, otherwise great app Uhnyak - please give ability to thread all conversations with a single contact and not separate by date - multi select / archive / delete - fix lag - MMS Woody I've used the service since forever and loved it with Gizmo5. Since being folded in Google it's only gotten better. The telco's tried to delay it but SMS w/o bucket-charges is here, now, because GoogleVoice and others. MMS is not far behind. MOST IMPORTANT: being able to port my GoogleVoice number whenever and wherever I require. I'm a Gadget Freak and enjoy trying different things. With GV I distribute one number, no matter which phone(s) I choose to ring. One number to rule them all! (couldn't resist) Keisha Since installing this, I don't get all my phone calls. Guess they're going straight to voicemail. Also, transcription could use a little work. Jared I love this app but google does not update it very often. Mt two complaints are 1 it only allows you to send one text at a time 2 no sms. Big problem. SMH I dont know why I can't use the app for my Samsung Galaxy Q- Fido for Canada. after installing the app and trying to set up the PIN, it says your phone can not be verified!!! S Google voice hi-jacks all calls and voicemail. It didnt used to do that and I used to be able to choose. Also goes into eternal install loop on phone netskink On initial setup it gives option to ask before each call to use gvoice or regular phone. Default is to use gvoice w/o asking. Go to settings to change b0n3zY Needs some multi-select features, and a way to empty the trash without logging in on a browser. Tennyson Who cares about mms, like the other person said "send an email". Although, I do wish it supported Wifi, other than that it's great! Samsung Epic 4G R. Alberto essential tool for Android needs improvement with international text support and Unicode characters. we have been waiting a long time for those Maile Absolutely the worst, even after uninstalling, it still screws up my HTC EVO ! FAIL !!! Ben awesome.the latest update won't sink so I miss texts. please fix. perfect before this last version. tleaf100 Meant to be working in uk for months now Only it does'nt.still mucking about saying there is a connection error everytime I try to register my numbers Kandy Won't give me the option to make calls using it or my regular number. It used to before. Not happy about it! Please fix... antonio Great app love having the option to disguise my number. voice recording is gr8 would be 5 star if was a option to record outbound calls as well Ray An easy way to get back to the main page and see everything. Also a way to not show texts in GV!! I only use GV for voicemails and its irritating!! Anonymous I love free texting! Pros: Free wffi texting, vmail to gmail, easy to install. big $ Saver! Cons: navigating, sometimes msging lags, even when wfi is strong. 4*'s David It's great I hate listening to messages. Going threw them 1 by 1. Thank you Google. liquidprozak My New Carrier Great features. Call quality could be better. But it is free calls and free text and free voicemail. Carl For 5 stars, make it capable of phone calls via WI-FI like talk-a- tone on the iPhone. Bang Uchiha Works great but has some glitches and stops working and needs to reinstall monthly on mytouch 3g. Wish i could pick individual contacts to show numb isha its free and a very good app but it does freeze when texting please fix Dan 5 star Flawless. Best app ever. Seth Yep Gets stuck in message screen. Josh Froze in settings. App just freezes in the settings mode. I have uninstalled and reinstalled. HELP!!! I will return my previous 5 star rating as soon as it is fixed. Mother Fish It is already my main calling app. Fully integrates with android. Threaded conversations and visual voicemail are great. Free text messages! Still needs support for picture messages. Could become fantastic if merged with google talk and got VoIP calling and video chat built right in. Shahrez I live in the US with an HTC Thunderbolt powered by verizon which forces you to pay to receive voicemail notifications. So, I set up Google Voice and would have given it 5 stars if it wasn't for finding out today that when you record your name into the voicemail greeting you can never go back to the system default. It's really annoying, esp if you value privacy. Otherwise, great app! BUT PLEASE FIX GOOGLE!!! Angelina Update loaded fine w/out any problem. I love the GV app on my phone and makes communicating easier when I'm working on my laptop because I can just txt from my keyboard. I'm still waiting for (1) MMS to be able to send photos and (2) for msgs from each contact to thread together and not start a new thread each time they txt. qfnol31 I first reviewed this on Gingerbread, but now I use it on ICS. It looks and works great! I think the main inbox could use an uplift, but otherwise the UI is very pleasant and works well overall. Epic Touch Dan Just use it for Voicemail&it's great! It provides OS notifications & even converts vm 2 txt (which I wouldn't expect to work very well) rougegoat Threads by conversation instead of person, which is funky. Provides free, easy to use visual voicemail+texting+the usual Google Voice multi-device benefits. Not sure why it doesn't use the visual voicemail API for ICS devices. That would be extremely useful for those who use this as their voicemail service. j-sung Wish gingerbread users could see the new UI! But this update works well. Performance is getting streamlined. Good work Mike Queue feature was very much needed! It could use performance and improvements, but it's same speed as prev. version. No lag here. For those having problems: Clear data and cache. The whole thing about Google sharing your info or texts without consent is bull. Read Google's new privacy policy. Better mms integration and support=5 stars John My primary number is a Google Voice number, and I am incredibly satisfied. It works great on my Droid Charge, Nexus S, and BlackBerry 9930. It's also really convenient being able to send texts from Chrome on my PC. Please provide an MMS solution and I will be 100% satisfied! Prit Good app, but is there a way to combine the texts I get from one person. It seems like if I text someone on a new day, it starts a new conversation, instead continuing from the previous day JayQ U.I. Needs to be more consistent & on par as gmail's navigation of labels & files. It'd be nice 2 share with no file size limit...make it a BBM messenger! I have sprint & texting comes free anyway but I'd like 2 know if they read my text & be able 2 take it back if not read yet.also a label switcher like gmail would be better than menu/label.please work on the u.i. to be consistent as other apps are. Nana 2/7/2012: Good update. We're waiting for native sip support for google voice. Also, if you can make the app more like the gmail app for Android 4.x, that would be awesome. That makes it easy to switch between labels. Bobbi Linn recent update causing messages to be queued, and app keeps disappearing from my phone although it still gets messages and appears in my recent apps. I LOVE this app and I hope it goes back to normal soon :) Joe After using this app for 6+ months I am very frustrated that every number I dial uses a different outbound connection number!! - HTC Incredible Dettsuka I receive texts messages on time. Most people don't take care of their phones. You're supposed to turn off your phone once a day for atleast a minute everyday. Also you're supposed to clear cache, history, and cookies once a week so your phone runs properly. Sometimes that could be the case as to why your phone isn't working with an app. The only problem with this app is that you can't block contacts from it, you can't add contacts within the app, and you can't send picture messages. Brenna Texting only works part of the time. Other times, I get a "sending" message that never goes away, or the app crashes outright. Alex Got it to keep texting costs down with out of network friends. Force closes. Runs slow. Constantly starts new threads with the same contacts for no reason. Still can't do mms. It's amazing what some people publish. Come on, Google! you could do better. Alex i like the small redesign. i would really like it if you could delete multiple messeges at one time.please google? Ben Hangs on sending sms often (the browser is faster and more reliable) and deletes messages if sending fails sometimes. Worst google app I use. Tilly I live and work in an area with terrible a 3G connection, however live has gotten way easier with the latest update. The queuing system is great as well as creating new threads when there is lots of time between messages. Now I can just reply to a day old message instead of composing new one. Few bugs to work out, otherwise love it. Crystal No icon or way to change settings without going to market. Suddenly stopped working. Stopped taking voice mails. Uninstalled & reinstalled; now voice mails route to carrier instead. Bad. Willie I have been using Google voice for quite sometime now. Hands down it's better than nothing, but it is indeed lacking a few key features, really important features. One is just plain old buttons. There isn't even a dedicated button to view your inbox in each window. The inbox link is in the labels section, but there is no dedicated button when reading a text. Secondly, there is no view sent text option either. Why is this? No MMS? Most of all no kanji -> Unicode character suppot. Please fix this Google. spy9000 The screenshots are miss leading and much better than the actual UI i see on my phone. The interface is laggy and "not nice" to the eyes. Fix it, shameful. This is the world of "Style 2.0" c'mon google. Malissa I'd like to see an icon in the notification bar to alert me that the call is coming thru GV....luv that u can block spam callers easily - EVO Steve Chab Decent app ... I would use it exclusively if it was able to send and receive audio, video and pictures over sms. I only use it to manage voicemails. The online search features are awesome though! Ryan An absolute must have! Wish I could assign individual numbers to make calls through voice tho. dave The latest update streamlines text messaging by queueing outgoing messages and allowing you to navigate within or outside of the app while messages are being sent. One request for Google Voice - add MMS capabilities, please! Corvin The sound and capabilities of the app are very good. My only complaints are that the SMS options on it be refined or allowed to be integrated with other popular SMS apps such as Handcent, Go SMS, Pansies, & Chomp SMS. Secondly, have an option to video conference call. By adding these features to this app it would make it the best in its class or more. Chris I don't know what all this whining is about. It worked fine before the update, it works fine after the update. I use it everyday for my job, and I don't have any issues. Here's a tip: "doesn't work" is not useful feedback and won't solve you're problems. Put the actual problem you're having in the feedback, not the market comments. tgriffttu UI improvements are nice, but this needed a little more QA before being shoved out the door. Buggy...and the widget refreshes very infrequently to not at all, with no way to do so manually. Enrico Does not support sending international text messages. It is weird to have to contact some people on a different number when you text them. Matti Update: Google has addressed this to a degree. I still get messages that fail to send, with no way to delete or cancel them. How come my Nokia 3100 from the 18th century has an outbox, but Google Voice doesn't? Google has had issues with application refusing to send messages after changing from wifi to 3g. Posts on help date back years with no response. Titan You would expect google to have the best apps, especially for their own operating system. This app is an ugly exception. I had already uninstalled it due to receiving txt messages sometimes hours after they were sent. Today I saw there was a recent update and figured I'd give it a go. It appears google took a page from microsoft and decided to just put lipstick on a pig. The app STILL does not get the messages when they arrive. It's so sporadic I can't even estimate. It might be 7 minutes, might be 7 hours. Who knows.. Google sure doesn't. uninstalled yet again. Maybe they'll get it right next time. Dan Finally got it right! Now able to listen via speaker the easy way. T mob G2 Ricky Really like the new icon, and the work done to fix a lot of the issues I was having. Keep up the good work Gloria Not as good as the regular messaging interface yet. + boring layout.. nicer minimalism principles please - HTC Sensation Peter Messages are getting stuck quite often as of late. Needs an update to fix Philip fc's when i text to certain numbers. typical android bs. this os is fun to hack, but it is a toy. can't be relied on for serious day-to-day business. linus All my texting is through gvoice and with the recent update, it all works flawless. Absolutely no hangups or problems whatsoever. Thank you Google. salvador Took me a little to figure it out haha but its good! Works great. Love that i have 2 phones in 1. Kris Any body who ha anything negative to day about google voice is crazy. turn of call screening and its awesome JD This version performs much more reliably in areas with poor data connectivity. Would really like click2call like the iPhone version. johninor I like what this does, but like so many applications it was written with little regard to controlling data usage. I am on a very limited data plan, so I cannot afford to have applications that use data while just running in the background. This uses quite a bit of data just running inthe background. I assume that it needs check for voicemail and texts received. I would like an option to turn off those features. I don't need it for voicemail or incoming texts. I want to use it for outgoing texts and calls I know that it needs to use some data for outgoing calls and outgoing texts and that is fine because I can decide whether or when to make use of those features. Kerry Instead of conversations staying in one block every time I send a msg to someone it opens a new block, Wish I could send pictures as well Timothy What changed? It was working great. Why mess with it? Now it force closes, locks up my device, and won't send texts. Come on Google. You had something that worked and worked really well. Kevin Make better Widgets.! What a shame. David Probably. I find consolation in the fact that I'm one of millions, so if this ship goes down, we all go down together. Until then, I keep my fingers crossed Google holds off the global takeover until at least after I die. BECAUSE GOOGLE VOICE IS WORTH IT!! Chakit When is it coming for Canada. Google is kinda racist in providing services, treating US as kings and other countries as beggers or low class people of no use. Which is one of the biggest reason I hate G Nooners Love this app. So many options over a regular phone number. Along with Groove IP to make calls over WiFi it's awesome! I wish this app would not start multiple heads for the same person Toby This app gives me free texting that works fairly well, saving me $15 a month. I use Google Voice as my primary number. I look forward to possible features: - Themes - MMS (or something similar) Keep up the good work t0Okie After the update I am not receiving my text messages on time, if even AT ALL! please fix. Its very important as I have missed a few important messages! Jeb Like others, latest update broke everything. Force closes consistently when network shifting from 3G to wifi. Notifications lacking when wifi is connected. Threading now seems to be daily, not on a conversation. Seems like a lot of steps backwards to something that worked solidly. Will update review when fixed. Incredible 2, stock. m needs ability to quickly change what registered lines get called! when viewing a thread "Archive" should be immediately available not "Text"-there's already an input box for Text! Ian updates are welcome and great, but slowdown is excessive! app runs like a lame dog through molasses Jeff The latest update is causing problems. I can't send a text without the phone freezing, and I need to force close the app. Droid X Tyler Fantastic app. Lots of grwat features. Very fast after recent update. Only con is no mms support yet. Fantastic app. Lots of grwat features. Very fast after recent update. Only con is no mms support yet. Shannon It does what it claims but it stole my number from Sprint and I wanted a completely different number in addition to my Sprint one so I tried to cancel the Google Voice and wound up completely losing my phone number and had to waste several hours with Sprint to get a new phone number which was very inconvenient. They need to make it possible to set the app up independently from the existing phone number. Otherwise, things worked well and were very easy to use. J.D. It would be nice to more option on eifi only tablets i really only want to have my sms, but it wants me to intergrate my normal call number all well. Is there another app i should be using Ivan Why am i missing calls? i have google voice number integrated with my sprint number and i really like it but I really wish this problem can be resolved soon. I have missed very important calls all the time and I have had enough. Please Google Voice devs, FIX THIS SOON!!! Justin Not a true VOIP and requires wireless service to make calls rather than providing the option to use web. Has advantages on limited prepaid service but unreliable U.S. data service makes it impossible as a daily driver. jsk Cannot even configure app unless you happen to be in USA with USA phone number. I'm in hk. Even if registered doesn't allow calls using google voice, as that requires to call USA number. It does not replicate the google voice digital call from gmail talk chat window that allows you to call. Bobby This is a great app! Although it seems to be a little sluggish... It would be nice to update contacts on line from the phone. Would also be nice to see which calls are to the phone and which calls are to Google voice! Wade Not only are privacy issues a concern, this app requires a ton of work. Too bad Google couldn't offer some simple messaging to compliment this mess. George Its sad because ive had this for years and this app viber came along and its hard to not switch. FREE phone calls. text ANDDD PICTURE TEXT. what bothers me the most is, a app from a random company gets it right and google still doesnt?? (extremely inconsistent sent text messages, no mms STILL, random duplication text and horrible orginization) so..yeah, VIBER FTW nav An option would be helpful to indicate if the incoming call is to the google voice number Marty Anytime I try to place calls using Google voice my phone crashes. This is a big problem Google, fix it asap to regain a 5 Star Rating and my trust within Google again. Shannon Upping my rating to 5. All my texts are instant. Love that I can add to contacts if a new number comes in. I would love to swipe left and right to switch between conversations like talk does. mms would be nice too but what ever. Google owns! Kyle Dylan I love Google Voice. Threading should not be sorted by date, but just by person & in app MMS support is crucial. Will not use as main texting app until a serious upgrade comes along Kenneth Some of the texts get stuck in queue and never gets sent while I have a good data connection. Moto Photon 4g Mark Updated... come on Google, why text still not thread? And can't attach pics? JediMasterASD LOVE LOVE LOVE the latest update. No more "message not sent " Cricket Used to be pretty reliable. Since the update though, it's taking 7 hours for voicemail to notify me that I have a message. Not very useful. Kyle I use this app everyday. For the most part it works very well. However, the app does not display some sent messages randomly. This is a huge issue. I am looking at my google voice web app and the messages there are different than what I see on my phone app. This app also is not complete without mms support with verizon. These issues have to be fixed before this app can be considered mainstream and usable. Kevin All of my messages are stuck in the queue. This is dumb. Alexander I cannot remove the google voice # from being entered for every call and text I send. Even uninstalling won't remove the GV#. Mario Good service but the only that sucks is that I get no notifications whatsoever even though I have them on. Please fix. Photon Chad Google NexusOne It notifies me that I have a voicemail, but will provide neither the transcription nor the audio. Terribly frustrating, especially when news is urgent. I might have to go back to basic voicemail if it doesn't get fixed quickly. Isaac still waiting for ability to archive/delete multiple messages at once a la Gmail. Michael Love the new icon style but it has some strange aliasing near the bottom corner of the phone shape. Looks strange and blurry in certain sizes. A minor gripe, but I can't help it, I'm a designer! a.lahcen Dear Google what's the point of having this on my galaxy nexus when the app is not supported in Canada? shame on you. Johnnie Sending issues... Multiple threads for the same person even the same day.... Date and time missing from old messages... Timestamps are incorrect just got a text from someone at 11:28pm and it's actually 5:33pm... Please fix asap... Google voice is my life and business... Lol.... Tashia, Taz, After the recent update, it "queued" the message for an EXTENDED amount of time. I have to go to the net to send my messages. FIX IT. Tony I just hate when they change icons because I end up no longer using the apps because I don't recognize the icon. Also, why are so many people so paranoid about apps using permissions to run on your phone? Diane New app icon needs a little getting used to.. - HTC Sensation owner Jhemmerich2 This is dumb. I pick up the phone and slide it across. I obviously want to answer the phone. Then I hear "please press 1 to answer." It takes too long to do this and I miss most calls because of it. I'm disabling Google voice and going back to sprint voicemail until I can opt out. I'm dissapointed an app that can show me voicemail when I don't have my phone anywhere has such a fatal flaw. Dave Sorry but the latest update is even worse than the last. Texts now vanish after being sent or que forever. This is the one app on my phone I want to like but always have issues with. Darcwolf Locks up phone when trying to send text messages, or just sits there and says sending. Also now when i make a call it sits there for 5 secs before it lets me choose the option to dial without google voice. DONT UPDATE! Dallin Hey, everybody! I think I figured out why the app is so much slower this update. Someone at Google has to read each of our texts before they can actually send it...they just have too many sometimes so it's a little slower. That MUST be it! Google: just go back to the versions that weren't spyware and that actually worked consistently. Lady Since new update ph calls not coming through. I show missed calls but never rings. Think Im gonna uninstall & cancel my google voice. Classifying Web Usage in the Workplace If I can't press 1 to accept calls, this app and device are an epic FAIL!!! DROID BIONIC (also, there hasn't been a real "DROID" since the OG DROID...) Chad The overall google voice service is great; however, when placing calls using the google voice app the call quality is horrible! One time speech kept cutting out... The next time they couldn't hear me at all but I could hear them. Outbound calls is the killer. :( sniffs Needs Gingerbread style notification icon. Come on.. really? Update the dang notification icon already. Patrick Won't update to the new version of GV on Optimus S. Invalid Package File. What a shame! Wil the version that came out in Feb 2012 crashes (force closes) every day. I have to find the old apk... Josh Works, lags like heck, hasn't force closed yet, but message threads seperate sometimes even splits a two part conversation making it hard to read. Its disasterous atm cmon google Eric It works great for a while, but if I use the webpage it stops sending messages. Still receives fine, but it's a hassle. Did this on my Hero and now does the same thing on my Conquer. Jonathan I use my Google Voice number for work, and since I updated, it tells me my personal number cannot be validated...please fix asap! I'm missing very important business calls now. It worked just fine on the previous version! I use the Samsung Galaxy S (the Epic) on Sprint. PLEASE hurry and fix! It's a GREAT thing, but ONLY when functional! Once fixed, 5 stars will be given! jayson Lately the volume is so low on the voice mails that it is all but worthless..... I have checked the forums but while I see many complaints I see no solutions from google...their self support model sucks Kristina Press 1 to answer after I already selected to answer the phone? Come on Google what is that!? Why would anyone have to go through the extra steps to open the keyboard and press a button to answer even though they've already selected to answer!? NEEDS a fix. Chris Simmons The new release is great! It seems much more stable and bug-free than previous releases. SMS notifications via Google Voice finally work the way they should - no more long delay between message receipt and message notification. Gizmo Loc You have to go to your Google voice account online and change the setting to get it to stop doing that west. When you first ran the app you let it take over all phone calls and sms messaging. Took me a good 30-40 minutes after going down to Sprint to find that out Allan I love the app and used it for years now, but one thing I don't like is, there is no way to enter the google voice settings itself, only the settings for the android phone itself. Using a browser works, but I think it should be in the app. Other than that, absolutely amazing! Matthew Google voice is an indispensable tool. I love it, though the transcriptions still don't seem accurate to me (-1/2 star). I have had some issues with texts not sending recently on my myTouch4G; only a reboot seems to fix that (-1/2 star). On my Toshiba Thrive, I've had ZERO issues. Texts and voicemails are both working flawlessly. Wesley, to get rid of it, go to Google.com/voice and click on your Google Voice number. Then, on the next page which displays all your linked numbers, click on "Deactivate Google KP Well. I love that it is stored in my google account. But it keeps showing call history, even with call history turned off! Transcription works about half the time. And the worst bug is it goes back to the top of list after listening to a voicemail....... Tom Permission issue resolved. A very handy tool, but voice recognition could be improved. Jerry I love it. Transcribe sux tho. Great having seperate number for weirdos, women & work!! I dont dare text, seems like a hassle. Fred I received my new Droid RAZR MAXX yesterday afternoon and immediately added Google Voice. I fell in love with Voice on my Droid X to save $30/mo. Voice is 10000x smoother and crisp on the RAZR. I never updated the original version on my X because of all the negative feedback, but can't rave enough about how great this app truly is. I'm glad I didn't have to drop it and pump out $30/mo to Verizon. Alex Agree with Sean, Constant freezing during texting, only fix is force close. Please FIX THIS KNOWN BUG! BK Finally ICS voicemail integration and a new UI with MUCH improved navigation! Thank you! Still no MMS however, and that's a big drawback, although almost certainly the carriers' faults. I love Google Voice and use it daily. I'm so glad Google seems committed to making it better and better. MTA Google Voice is a great service. It's super convenient being able to receive texts and voicemails on my laptop. The Android app is a little buggy though. Sent texts show as being unsent and sometimes texts aren't shown in chronological order. Often the app corrects itself but sometimes I need to reboot it. Once in a blue moon friends have trouble texting me but to be fair that could be their service. Hope to get multimedia text soon. Chip I use GV all the time for every message. I have it installed on my tablet as well as my EVO4g (Sprint) and everything always in perfect sync. I also love how well it integrates and has very low battery usage Krystal I love this app... why pay money to add text on you phone when you can just use g voice.... and when it has pics to like even if it sent to the number then went to your gmail but told you it will get 5 stars... either then that I do think this is one of the best apps out there and a very smart thing to have created.... good job google... taking over the world one app at a time... Chris Google Voice is wonderful for accessing calls and texts when I have WiFi but no cell reception. This app is great for that purpose. It doesn't support picture messages yet, so it still has room for improvement. Butta I like that I don't have to turn my phone on when i'm at work or at home to get my calls, voicemails and texts. Aside of the fact that it saves my cell battery life, I only need to use my cell for gps and when traveling. It would help if the actual app had the ability to control all the settings on the handset itself, rather than have to log on. Overall, pretty good app!! alex Is the best company and has many great apps. They deserve to be know as the #1 company and best everything! Huck Great app, cutting edge. Have a lot of bugs but they appear to be working on them. Mostly with calling back with your cell, it shows mostly your real cell # not the google #. Bill I'm a huge fan of Google Voice, but the Android app is still lacking. First of all, it is missing two key features: - Ability to manage GVoice settings - Ability to make and receive calls Also, there's a bug on the Toshiba Thrive: I can't play back voice messages. When I hit the PLAY button, the screen goes blank for the length of time of the message, but the message doesn't play. Michael This update was the first one that allowed functionality of this app. Works well integrated in the Galaxy Nexus. Still needs improvements but is a good step in the right direction. Elizabeth Okay ....better. 4 stars cause It would be better if they thread text by person not by conversation. U end up with a bunch of threads by the same person. A little slow and doesn't queue as much anymore, a plus. Serves its purpose of not having to pay an expensive texting plan. H I was holding out of the last update because it wanted additional access to the phone logs. This update dropped that requirement. Matt This app has several improvements over the previous version. It seems that alot of issues with newer android releses blame google voice. If you are running other window managers it can also cause problems. New widget is great and provides many more features. I can work almost completely using its features. Open and close seem faster and there is a little red marker next to messages being sent but not transmitted. Chris Like other G1 users who posted, after the 0.4.2.54 update, I have an infinite crashing loop if I try to open the app via the shortcut. Strangely, if I receive a message I can open it fine, calling in/out works, and if I select "Google Voice" in the option of how I want to text a contact I can compose messages fine. As of late, before the update the app was also very memory intensive. Overall, a great app but sadly not optimized for poor old G1. vishnumrao It would be nice if I could make Google voice calls to phones from my tablet over wifi. This app is rather lame, as it rings my phone, and then connects to the other person. Feature to make & receive calls from this app would be great. So one star for now. Robert Old version - could choose, per call, whether I wanted to use my personal# or GV for a business call. New version - I must use GV for ALL calls or NO calls. Totally defeats the purpose of GV. Google's New Mantra: "If it ain't broke, break it." Tokin I just bought a new Samsung galaxy s2 and I cannot make calls using google voice Tina This is absolutely amazing. Not had an issue with the service other than rare fcs. Also humors me with its voice mail interpretations. Which I don't see as an issue, it's too funny to be mad at. David Awesome vmail when it works. Why aren't the bugs fixed sooner. Buggy. Michael Nice new look. Needs multi select. And the ability to take out the trash! Gary 5 stars when we get new ui gingerbread and mms Shawn Dose not match the rest of icons in the 3x1 widget, looks unpolished. One of the big pitfalls of Android. Hung0702 It works well if you check your voicemail often, but I might get 20-30 voicemails a day. The lack of multi-select and CONSTANT refreshing make this app unbearable to use. Delete a voicemail > refreshes to top of page Want to delete several old voicemails > delete defaults back to only the most recent entries and parses those entries further down in the list that you have to scroll down and wait to load in order to access > result: deleting old voicemails takes a ridiculous/unnecessary amount of swipes Nandlal Why can I not have sole voice mail, phone application with out using Verizon" minutes quota? I was using with Droid but Samsaung nexus does not allow me to do!? Jeremy I love Google Voice and use it all the time. However, it is a pain because I can't select who I would like to call with Google Voice and who I would like to call with my mobile number. Martavis I love using this for my data-only plan, but there are a few annoyances. I would like to see the notifications go away once you click on the person's name or (if you're in the conversation already) when you click on the text area. Also, some customization would be great, even if it's just a few colors, bubble styles or pictures. And MMS would be great too! **Using on Gingerbread HTC Evo View T New update provides even more usefulness. Like everyone else, would like to see MMS support and maybe more recorded vm greetings so i don't have to use my own voice :) Sean Doesn't show text sent unless u get a response. Repeatedly freezes, force close, & hangs on trying to send (except on Nexus 3) sometimes requires device restart & then sends twice. Atrix-4G, Nexus-3, G-S2, infuse, Streak5 (I change phones often,) this seem to be Voice issue & not phone or network problem. Hope Google can find fix, I love the App & been using it for years for Calls, int'l Calls, & Text. Update brought ui improvement with less performance functionality. Shame. Ms Brandy I've been using google voice app for a few years this latest update sucks not sending/receiving msgs plus I was receiving pic mail b4 grrrrrr Bryan Can't live without. Great VM and good texting capability.....would like MMS plz Alex Free texts anywhere on the planet and full control over who can and cannot call you, custom outgoing message for people or groups. Love it! john They need to create a better way to remove. I tried to delete, but it still takes my voicemail. How do you remove it? Wish I had not tried it. I am now screwed. Dan The only thing missing in ICS now is the ability to send a call declined text via Google Voice. Pro As others have mentioned is pretty great but still needs a few features like MMS, Group chat, VOIP calling. And then it will be prefect. And kudos on awesome ICS integration! Robb Sending texts now is 50/50 at best. Queuing them constantly. Jon The voicemail mp3 can't be played. From voice the screen goes black and the progress bar moves but no sound. Different mp3 players say they can't play the mp3. And I never see the transcript that I will see when I look at the same message on my PC. Texting works great except for the no support for short numbers. Alfred Over all it integrates very well both with the phone and your Google account. The 2 things I would like to see are a more intuitive interface for switching modes and a WiFi fallback for voice when in airplane mode or local cell service is not available. Alan I'm not sure what's up, but on my (international) Galaxy Nexus, there are constant freezes and force closes. Nothing like this ever happened before the latest update. Eric I love google voice, but I'm not a big fan of the grey action bar along the bottom. Previous version's navigation was better. Other than that, it's great! Keith Update screwed up being able to use the standard messaging app. Although I have mine set to not allow text messages through gv they still come through. Nexus S 4g. On the website I have it disabled it comes back on. Plz fix. Also text messages from new numbers not stored in contacts don't come through stock message app and only through gv. Come on Google Aadil Keep getting error that Google voice could not verify my number, please try again later. Jamel To mark something as read it scrolls all the way to the top each time. Adam I use GV instead of paying for sms. Missing a star because it is missing a feature I would greatly enjoyed, quick reply. omar I love thus app and it works perfectly for my situation but, IT NEEDS PICTURE MESSAGEING! any maby a way to customize the theme, other than that its perfect Joshua They have fixed most of the bugs that it had from the start, like low volume and playback randomly stopping. It works well now. Thanks Google. Heidi Last update was great. It Doesn't freeze anymore but I still would like threding texts, delete/delete all button, and beable to send pictures and videos!:) Nicole After the update, they dont show up on my nexus. Its still buggy w ICS. Patches Receive consistent sign-in errors. "There was a network error while trying to sign into myname@gmail.com. Retry now or press the Back button to cancel." Phone is connected to 3G and WiFi when trying this. Junk app. Narvik Not better than the previous ver. How can i regress to previos ver. On my samsung infuse it sucks. Lagged texts and frezes i have to restart phone tuvalu00 The Google Voice app is not working on a Samsung Galaxy Tab. It does not load the assigned number and cannot place calls. Ironically this functionality can be done from a browser on the tab by going to the Google Voice web site. User 989 Since this app is from Google, it should be awesome and maintained more. IT BLOWS. Get rid of the day splits for threads. It's so stupid that I can't see the txt I sent last night when looking at a text from this morning. Pathetic. sniffs Why is the notification icon on a GINGERBREAD device the FroYo icon?!!? UPDATE IT. GV on ICS has a new, cool, updated ICS icon. I really don't get why something so simple as this can't be fixed. J Good app, i only wish i could delete more than one message at a time with something like a checkbox delete thingy. Its laborious now if you have a lot of messages Dezso I have to rate this darn app a 1 due to not able to verify my mobile number during set up! I tried the process 7 X, yes seven times! Too bad, because I was ISO of an to make international phone calls! Please fix this then mail me, yes I am still interested and you do have my Google E-Mail addy because this app is by Google! I am disappointed because I love all products by Google, except this one! I'll be waiting! Thanks...D. A. :O( jason After the last few updates, my outbound messages have been getting stuck in either sending or queued status. Connection is fine. Motorola photon. Jeff It doesn't work anymore after installing update, keeps force closing. Any suggestion? Any way to uninstall the last update? Dato I can make direct calls from my pc as soon as i enter my email it asked me to download google tall plugin though, but here it first requests my phone number and then connects it with the other phone i'm calling to. How can i make direct calls from my android device through internet using my google account? Maybe i need another app? DHofmann Whenever I receive a text message, my phone freezes for a few seconds. CPU usage must be very high for some reason. Hope this gets fixed. BigStar Gwappoe Love the new update, action bar at the bottom is great. Visual voicemail is the best integration in any os right now nunix Spent like 15 international SMS already with no success. It should say somewhere that the verification may cost money and it should work! Will Every time this app gets updated I download it hoping it will work but it keeps saying it can't verify my phone #! Amanda Hearing from a lot of people that they are texting me but I'm not receiving most of their texts. Every once in a while one will come through. Jenny This app freezes at the most inconvenient times!! Thinking about getting a txt msg plan again. RANDYRKELLY For the people saying there isn't MMS. Well there is. Go to PC, enable text to email. And bam u will receive MMS. Also send MMS via email. Johnnie Not sending text to native message app since update... No MMS support as of yet.... Stryker Add these and it will be a 5-star app! johnnykickball I just wish they would integrate voice and talk sjsharksfan Just log into gVoice on pc, look in your settings and there is option to disconnect from your cell account. i did this on accident and figured it out.. Just look in settings fron pc browser.. Shelley Some very helpful information coming from a mobile site would be that u cant set this up from a mobile phone!.. it has to be set up on a desktop first..dont u think that should be in the intrduction so people no this before they install? Not a big deal IF u have a desktop..which i do not....UNINSTALL! Lavit When ever I try 2 connetct my balance deducts but my number is not verified.. How can I get a google number?? Jordan Love the ics integration and option to display voicemail in recent calls. Priscilla It won't let me customize which number to call out or text out from before it worked great now blah think I might uninstall:/ Scott In the new release contact faces are no longer showing up next to messages even if they exist on my phone martin I am no longer able to use Google voice getting an error quota exceeded and I don't use anymore or any less texts than my normal 1000 a month wtf? Tullid GV user from og Droid to HTC rezound, never had any real issues with app. Latest version works good on ics J. D. I would eventually like to see deeper integration with the native SMS app. Chad Pros: It's a good way to get texting for free. Cons: If you don't start brand new conversations, the app freezes. Messages aren't always timely. This app seems to never improve. Pat How about you do a google search instead of rating 1 star. Dial *73 to get your carriers voicemail back. Idiot. - John Too much keyboard lag while reviving a message in the app. Jarred You sir are a goon, do a little research for once. rbleader I use it to ring multiple phones with one number. semaphone Sorting options missing (by conversation is difficult to find specific messages). No MMS. no theme (too bright). little to no updates (too busy conquering the world, i guess..) Roy All of the sudden cant use app, keeps crashing, tried hard reset and new install, no luck Joey Texts don't always send, Droid Charge 4G. Buggy, force closes. MMS needed. I expected better from Google... Stace Texts now hang in the queue and don't go out. Google please fix this. Destiny Used to love this app but now with the update even though I uninstalld it still only uses my google number, not MY number. Going to call tech support D'Juana Long overdue for an update but I do wish the that it was easier to delete more than 1 message at a time mohamed Would be great if there was a way to know which number ppl are calling you at weather its Google or my carrier Johanna I bought a new phone and ported my old number to GV. Never going back. Not having to get a texting plan is nice, plus you can send/read texts via browser if you forget your phone at home. My only complaint is that you can't see sent texts if that person has not replied. And I would prefer grouping by contact for all texts, not just per day. David Long time fan of GV app, but new release is causing all app icons to disappear occasionally. Killing GV process brings them back. Den7 Crashing and freezing each time you send first text message to anyone. Something is wrong with new feature of delayed sending. But after crash it sends several consecutive messages ok. Then if you wait an hour and try to send it crashes and freezes sending delayed message on first message again.Tmobile Vibrant Preston Still requires access to the desktop site to actually be able to manage text/history. gcb You will not have your messages sent. You will get messages even a day later, if you get them. Other times just works, to get you off guard when it doesn't m Calls diverted to Sprint vm! Can't keep texts native, must be via GV, no preferences to do so on website! Kyle Trouble verifying phone number with the app, so set it all up online. Works great and love the ICS integration Mark Why I can't find contacts tab? Ralph Nice to have free texting. It's saved a bundle. However, it does lock up often. Texts sometimes won't send. Sometimes they get sent and completely disappear. Nexsi Why still haven't added the ability to buy credits from the phone, sometimes is useless to me cause I don't have a laptop with me all the time and when trying to use the phone browser it wont let me do it.. its kinda lame... Zeke UI could use some polish, and some features still have a slightly "beta" feel. Wish it allowed fully internet-based calling. Kara Google voice is awesome and i love it but i had to give it 2 stars because since the newest upgrade it force closes constantly! FIX PLEASE! Sucks! Big Boosti Im a google fan.Google voice allows me to keep the same phone# no matter what carrier or phone I have...5 stars if it had mms support, the ability to send multimedia via the app(pics and videos via txt msg w/your google voice account/number) For calls and non-multi-media messages (regular txt messages) this app is flawless...been using this app for 2+ years, a must have.... Trevor I wish there was a dialer option within. There are some calls I would like to place from my Google number, but I don't want to be asked every time. Other than that, it's great. pub lord It won't send messages on edge connection on my note. Alex So I like it except I don't like how it starts new threads with the same contacts and crowds my inbox. Also, I can't insert an autosignature. That kind of annoys me. It force closes a LOT. Idk I guess to me I see Google as a huge multi billion dollar company and expected better. Marlin Needs to have pop up notifications and threaded texts. Integration with the native sms app would make this app perfect iris I've been with Google voice since it was with the other company 5+ years, they've enhanced it and I'm still in love! Nizz-O If they can give the option to emptying (delete forever like on the desktop website ) your trash and Spam then it would be 5 stars for me. I've been waiting for this feature for almost a year now, and I use this app constantly throughout the day. Donny First I tried to get this app on my Sony Tablet S. Wouldnt work at all. Couldnt call anyone. Then got it on my phone Droid2. the app never could verify my number for some unknown reason. I dont know where all these positive reviews are coming from... if anyone else has a similar situation please review and rate. Maybe google will take notice and update this app. Aspiring HTC Evo 3D: still dont receive messages until after I'm off a call, or not at all! Ridiculous! Poor audio & transcription. Get it together devs! Ray The SMS queue is great! I wish that the app would tie better in the online address book and identify cell, work, home so I know if I can just text them back or have to pull up my contacts. this app also needs to you're better to your setting... Like controlling what phones your wanting to ring you on - John Too much keyboard lag while reviving a new message notification. Will I love Google voice specially for the voicemail feature:) I would like a multi-select though for deleting Robin It's great to text and call Canada for free. Pretty much replaces my landline with free wifi calling through T-Mobile. Text messaging is very annoying though that it does not thread messages when have a conversation with the same person. Multiple conversations show up in your inbox from the same person. This has got to change. Takes up a lot of real estate. Sending MMS picture would be a nice feature too. Adam Used to be faster. Now takes up to 30 minutes for transcript to become available. Also, sometimes takes 20-30 minutes before you can even listen to your voicemail. Nickname unavailable I think it would be wise to interface with the led screen.. and better integration with the android dialer log would be good. Other then that it seems good Sari I use voice as my sms app, love it! Just seems to kill my battery quickly and the back button always funky... MMS would be awesome too! Brodie early user, media coverage including google lit had me thinking the app had native voip support. found out the hard way when I got my first couple Sprint bills that not only does the app not offer voip technology as the voice add-on in gmail does; the app also utilizes data to contact google servers to initiate your phone calls for you, thereby negating my free mobile 2 mobile, thereby costing me up the a*s. its cool for unlimited texting tho. Tom I have Razor Maxx with Verizon. Install stops at "need to verify your phone number" then "cannot verify your number". Error. Not sure if Verizon put a block on this or something else. Haas, Haastech, 2khAAT, House everyday the app makes a new thread of a conversation that is still going on, it is really annoying. Sometimes i have no idea what someone is talking about until i pull up previous threads Elizabeth - You can't rake pictures of the messages - And you can't send or receive picture messages but other then that its pretty handy taxing app David Lin Superstar I can text for free, but I find that my texts don't always send. Beto Although it is an excellent application, it has some errors. It would be better if you can see all messages all time and not only incoming messages. The other bad thing is that you can place a call using Wi-Fi. Anubis It has no MMS support. I don't have a texting plan so therefore Google voice is one of my only options. I've tried other texting apps with MMS support but they were buggy. I know it's possible to do picture messaging so I don't understand why you haven't when so many are screaming for this feature. Emmanuel **** I love this app. I use Google voice everyday. But is there anyway to empty out the trash folder? It doesn't give the option to permanently delete within the app itself to empty the trash folder. AND PLS ADD MMS Mai K. It's not compatible with my tablet or something because I'm unable to make calls. :/ Charlotte my significant other is currently in Canada & now I can call him whenever for FREE! The ones that are complaining obviously don't know how to change certain settings,besides the no MMS thing everything is in tiptop shape, Google is simply amazing sarahnesha I can't answer none of my calls, I don't understand why I have 2 push 1 to accept a call like its a collect call. I dont like this app. Nd I don't believe the things that every body are saying. This app sucks!!! I have the nexus 3g!! Srini This app is using my talk time mins and also data. I m not sure if it uses talk time for others. Is this is how it works? Nathan Not getting a LED or sound notification for voice-mails on the Verizon galaxy nexus. Its stock with notifications on in G voice settings. Christian While the original version of Google Voice worked without problems, Google Voice no longer works on T-mobile G1 and Android 1.6. After installation and configuration, it goes in an endless force-close loop. I tried uninstalling/re-installing on two different phones several times with the same result. It should be fixed to work correctly under 1.6. if this is not feasible, android 1.6 should be removed from the compatibility list. Bubba But needs to stop creating new threads and adopt the format that pretty much everyone else uses for their messaging apps. Also, Puerto Rico is not international. Otherwise, it's super useful! Jon I love Google voice but the latest update is horrible and I want to rollback to an older version... It used to work very reliably but now many texts don't get sent for hours. Albert I like the app, but it is buggy and really slow. I expect more from Google, especially since this has been on the market long enough to be much improved! Will I wish I could give it zero stars. Who is the genius that made the relationship between google voice and sprint that effectively strips away the functionality of google voice. Total and complete moron. Now you can't choose to use either your mobile or google phone number to phone and text. Somebody should be fired!!!!! brent Getting multiple threads from the same contact is annoying, as is a lack of MMS support. Josh If I wanted to text i'd download the fourteen other apps that allow u to do so. Its a joke, those of u who are wondering how to call people with google VOICE should download groove ip. U enter info and ur done. I dont think I did anything wrong. Or mabye it doesnt work with a phone that is not in service. (top reason people use google voice.) if what I want is possible let me know joshfroh@gmail.com joey At first hard to set up. After u get use to it its a bad a$$ app that is useful. Jeff Works great, but outgoing calls don't go through my Google Number, it calls a different # first. Is there a way to have it dial through my Google #? Eli Use sipdroid app with this app to replace your phone. Now google has to make this app costly because I do not pay for my lame virgin mobile service anymore. I don't have a big internet company like verizon but I have a cricket wifi modem. I pay $50 a month for my internet and I use google voice to text and sipdroid to call. And the best thing is the wireless modem can go with you wherever you want. And if u don't have wifi you can make crappy 3g calls and vpn calls. I am a completly mobile guy now. Reza Great application. I have slowly started a transition to make this my main number. The sms comes to your phone very quickly although the web interface and the app itself lags behind in synch. The sms coming in from one party can also be split over a number of threads but long as you are using your phone's sms interface you are fine. Dan It's cool that i got to pick a local number since we still have our old cell numbers from out of state and i like that sending texts with it eliminates me using my text allowance from verizon. Custom VM greetings is cool. Here is where it can improve: 1) Add picture testing ability. 2) I thought this app would send my phone calls via my data so that i wouldn't be using my limited verizon talk minutes. 3) incoming texts seem delayed sometimes. 4) need better vm transcription. Droid bionic Jimm Saving money! Yes, this app can save money on calls and TXTs. I do not have a TXT plan on my phone but I can receive TXT as data through Google Voice's TXT app. Also if you have a limited minutes plan and also have FREE calling to x number of Friends and Family then adding your Google Voice number as a friend makes those calls FREE as well. Making a call to someone that you don’t want to have your cell number? No problem, set you phone to ask how to make the call, with your cell number of your Google Voice number. This feature is also helpful with touch screens, I used to tap a contact to view their entry info and my phone was calling them, at 3AM! Having it ask how to make the call eliminates those inadvertent dials. J Needs more features, like consolidate sms msgs so you don't have fifty msgs from one person in your inbox and have to scroll forever to txt someone quickly. Other than small things like that, it works pretty good. Rachel I love this app for the voice mail and texting, it works great on samsung galaxy tab 10.1 and samsung captivate, i just wish i could send media messages so i could get rid of the other app i have John I LOVE GV! App is great. Lags when opening it from the home screen on my Galaxy Nexus though. kyle Its a great app!..only problem is it looks like crap. It would by if they added themes and made usable with handsent or go sms alone or at all for that matter mary Easy to use. Works almost perfectly on my phone [lg spectrum]. Texts occasionally get hung up in the queue, but no problems other than that. Carolyn Got this to replace on my new Motorola Droid Razr's voice mail app which was lacking. The google voice app locked up during the setup process and I had to reset my phone to shut the locked up app off. Still didn't work after reboot. The app store said it was installed but I couldn't find the app anywhere. I uninstalled and reinstalled and the widget finally showed up. I still can't find the app other than to use the widget. Did a test voice mail and got it to work, but it is also texting me and it split the message into two texts so I get 4 notifications spread apart by about 2 minutes: missed call, 2 texts and then the google voice thing. No thanks. I shouldn't have to get on Droid Forums to make it work. 2 hrs to install. Also, when I try to access the voicemail from the shortcut key it goes to the greeting and it won't play back my messages so I lost that feature. I am removing it. Saville Google really out did themselves on the recent update! Everything is working properly, super fast, no lag or missed messages, everything incoming/outgoing is in correct order and the MMS works perfectly! Having the ability to receive pictures now makes life easier. Plus the new look is very nice. Most stable release yet! retrodivot Translations are still pretty bad, but I can mainly get the gist of what the message is about. I like that. Georgio Works! Shaun I love being able to use my google voice number from my phone but i am ticked there is no Do Not Disturb button, It was on the version installed on my galaxy S II but not on the Galaxy Nexus?. I use it for my business line and would like to stop receiving calls after hours without having to get on my computer. A great feature to add is being able to say what hours and what days google voice number rings your phone, this way a do not disturb button isnt needed "for most people" *****Get Five stars when problem fixed***** Dan The back button is implemented in a stupid way. If you open Voice and it is already in a conversation, you hit back to go to inbox but instead it drops you to the home screen. Open Voice and it is still in the conversation, but this time back correctly takes you to inbox. Please fix this. When in a conversation, back should always go to the inbox/folder! Gamesoul I've had 5 Android phones (including 3 good ones) and tons of ROMs, stock and not. This app always is laggy on all of them. It otherwise has always worked very well, but when it's lagging on a phone running a dual-core processor over 1.7 GHz, and everything else runs amazingly, something is wrong. Mike Best visual voicemail app I've used. Would be five stars if there was a way to batch select multiple messages to delete unless there is and I'm just an idiot. Willis Locks up randomly when sending a text after not being in use for a while. Please fix. hey you with the face Says my number can't be recognized. Whats the problem?? kenneth Seems free but till you enter your number,they ask you to pay. NOT WORTH APP DOWNLOAD. Joseph This is a very powerful app that has one major flaw: inconsistent syncing! Oftentimes I cannot tell if a msg has been successfully sent or not, and most importantly, it fails to sync consistently, especially when the phone has been idle. Until this is fixed, I must find an alternative. Dark Would be the perfect app if it only had popup notification like in Handcent GBot One feature I really want is the ability to enable/disable phones that my calls are forwarded to. I often have my work phone enabled when I'm at work (where my cell signal is garbage), but forget to disable it when I leave, so the secretary answers my personal calls if I don't answer the phone before her. If all features available from the web interface were available from the app, you'd earn my 5th star. I'd give you a 6th star and a bag of cookies if you can pick which Contacts use GV as the default dialer and which use your regular dialer (I call my girlfriend's non GV number with my non GV number for free mobile to mobile minutes, but EVERYONE else gets dialed with GV - I don't even know my non GV number). (Samsung Galaxy Nexus with version 0.4.2.54) John, TN Still missing some incoming calls, like they never happened. They don't go to the phone, and they don't show up in Google Voice, but all of a sudden there's a voicemail. Also, audio volume for voicemail playback is still awful. Dave 0.4.2.54 update causes 'Force Close' loop on app launch. Must then reboot phone. 5-10-12: This is still broken. WTF? Navarre Old platform worked far better. Updated version is extreamly slow and almost useless. Zatara214 This app is a great answer to iMessages. Even though it came first, has more functionality, and is overall nicer. I'd love it to be updated more often, but I honestly have no gripes with this app feature-wise. Good job, Google. Ludvin Betterin older versions. It repeats txt and uses up lots memory, very slow, it queues too much. on the droid 1 , I liked the version Betterin older versions. It repeats txt and uses up lots memory, very slow, it queues too much. on the droid 1 , I liked the version before I had 0 problems with it Zatara214 This app is a great answer to iMessages. Even though it came first, has more functionality, and is overall nicer. I'd love it to be updated more often, though. My one issue is that I'd like to be able to sort conversations by contact, not by date. Too many threads is annoying. Otherwise, nice app! B I'm a huge fan of google voice and I use it every day but since the update with the queuing function was released i've been having issues with messages getting stuck in queued status even with full signal and no data connectivity issues. It's been kindof a headache when I need the message to go through right away. Any chance of getting that fixed? Mohamad Would be great to be able yo merge text threads from same number together instead of having a dozen different ones from one number! Osama Can't forward a VM and the widget is huge. A 4x1 or 5x1 would be much better. corissa Whoa! I just received an mms message...well it went to my gmail. But thats still cool! Now I wonder how you can send them? Keith Force closes all the time and drains my battery. Without it, my google number still rings my phone so this app is pretty much useless. Rashonda Cant take the app of my phone. I have to press one to answer my calls. I can send a text message but can't receive any. What a waste Can't uninstall Paymon Every time someone calls it says the Google voice subscriber currently unavailable. This app will take control over your phone. M.e.Puente Threaded conversation is badly needed. The ICS call log integration for voicemails was an awesome addition. I use this as my daily driver for SMS and voice and I'm sure a lot more people would too if the app was more complete. John, TN Still missing numerous incoming calls, like they never happened. They don't go to the phone, and they don't show up in Google Voice, but all of a sudden there's a voicemail. This is getting pretty frustrating since Google Voice was working so well when it was "beta". Not sure if maybe this has to do with more traffic on the system or what, but missing multiple calls on a line used for business isn't only frustrating, it's embarrassing. Also, audio volume for voicemail playback is still awful. And this is with a "Google phone"! Running Google Nexus S 4G with and 4.0 ICS. DSMART Good app, but can't make/get calls on my tablet only texting is allowed (NEED THIS FIXING) also needs to allow MMS (or photo and video messaging to voice # not just the use of SMS or texting) need fixing for the use of which # is used when on Bluetooth( compared to not using Bluetooth, when I have it set to ask me which # to use phone or voice) I want use voice # when using Bluetooth, which can also be changed in the settings of app, if needed, but I can still can pick which # to use when not on bluetooth! Krystie I have loved the transcriptions of my voicemails first on my verizon plain phone & now on my AT&T smartphone. Many of the transcriptions are hilarious giving me personalized 'D*** You Autocorrect'-type moments. I am able to understand the gist of most messages without having to listen to them. (Had to listen to only 2 messages in 18 months of use) Thank you. Darius Errg! It's frustrating because I can never be sure whether it sent or not... It never didi this... Google please update! Monica Love it, but lately my texts have been "Queued" and won't send right away. Sometimes the texts will be sent if GV is refreshed but not always. It is annoying because texts won't be sent right away and may not be sent until multiple hours later.
