I do a lot of texting on my Google Voice and I miss messages all the time because the app doesnt provide notifications consistently. When you do open a text, it often doesnt mark as read until you open it a certain way (go back to list of messages, click that message again, scroll to refresh). It is also impossible to add a contact when you get a new number. Pressing "Add to contacts" does nothing. Because of these things, its unreliable. Im surprised that this is a Google product.
Google Voice App Reviews
Lacks major features
Thanks for the update! Please add support for the following: 1. "Do not disturb" within both group and one on one text messages 2. "Reply" option from text notification as in Google Hangouts 3. Support for shared contact info files 4. "Mark as unread" option for texts and voicemail 5. "Leave conversation" option for group messages
Total Loss
Slow menus no favorites this version is a total lost.
Cant add contacts on IOS
This is so annoying, I run a business uses googlevoice and I unable to save customer number / name though google voice app. This is so annoying please fix it.. please fix it!!!!!!!!!!!
Wrong call back numbers
Every time I try to call someone back, it calls not the correct number.
From bad to worst
Not what I would have expected from Google. I know they can do much, much better. I can not even sign in, the app gets stuck in the activation stage and doesnt pass beyond that stage....
Much better after recent update
Much better now with support for MMS, group messaging. I like the way it handles outgoing calls as well. Clean interface and very functional. Hoping for more regular updates and improvements to make Google Voice a real alternative on iPhone.
Update brings terrible design w/o fixing any problems
How did this design change even get approved? I cant even let myself mention Google products anymore, let alone suggest them. Seems they are determined to make every app/web-feature they have worse each year.
Convenient but needs better ux
Concept is nice but I cannot manage my contacts at all. Unable to add a contact.
Slow. Missing features.
This update is missing features, and therefore not fully functional. Keep the older version, that worked fine. This version is a step backwards. Very slow. Freezing a lot. Hard to review, if it doesnt work. Missing Favorites. Missing Click-2-Call.
Major Redesign/Upgrade early 2017 Worst!
(Revised 5/13/2017: latest patch seems to have fixed the crash bugs. I can now search or dial without crashing). I have been an exclusive GV user since 2009 and was tolerant of no group txt & lack of MMS support. Now, the interface is not user friendly and full of bugs. 1) app ALWAYS crashes when I search or attempt to use the dial pad - this means I cannot call or txt on the fly- has to be with a recent contact 2) is super slow 3) when I select a message thread, it often doesnt take me to the last part of the message - its somewhere mid convo and I have to scroll. Not a fair trade off to have crashing bugs just to get MMS/group text support.
New Update is Bad!
What happened!!??? This new update is garbage. Everything is super slow all of a sudden and insanely non-user friendly. Please fix it!
Slow
This app is so slow. Its a simple app. Why so slow?
Recent update killed google voice
Finally after the last update the app didnt work at all but with this new update the app is working again! Thanks google!! A lot better!!
Very slow
I have a iPhone 5s running the latest OS. The app runs very slow. It takes a few seconds to switch tab and refresh SMS listing and call history. generally it feels sluggish.
Worst app !!!
The app gets frozen all the time. Needs serious fixes !! Too slow operations, never felt this issue in android.
Crashes constantly!
The new versions are crashing constantly! Submitting crash reports is worthless. The latest update still had not fixed the crashes. Google can do much better and is pathetic. All the functionality issues described by others are also annoying.
If its not broken -break it!
Dont understand why the old version was practically flawless, but this new version is pretty terrible. The new version crashes all the time. The new version also requires a great deal more clicks. Google has basically sacrificed "functionality" for "appearance." Its now just a superficial, do-nothing app like so many other do-nothing apps out there. Apple should think about removing this from the App Store.
Name change
From what I can tell, if you put in the wrong name, their is no way of changing it. Either on the app or on the webb. Thats a big problem
Cant add contacts
This is so annoying, I run a business uses googlevoice and I unable to save customer number / name though google voice app. This is so annoying please fix it
