Something Is Clearly Missing
It’s been a while since I’ve used this app. But as others have mentioned, what’s the point of having credits and being able to purchase more credits, when there doesn’t seem to be a way to use them. Everytime I attempt to access the Inbox, the app tries to get me to sign up for a subscription and I see no way to bypass that, hence the title of this review. Something is clearly missing and an update to the app is needed. That happens and I’ll change my stars.

All you need, nothing more or less.
Very clean UI, minimalist, no adds, great pricing options for annual that are 1/4 of comparable apps.
The character limit was annoying at first because I wasn’t aware of it, but that honestly has helped me a lot with being succinct. Didn’t like that at first, but I’ve adjusted and now I appreciate it!

Love this app!!!
This app works great, I have been using it for 6 years now and I've never had any issues with it. The only thing it didn't have before that I didn't like was the option to be able to send pictures. Now they must have upgraded the app so your able to send pictures now.

Functional, but need clarification!
The app works as described. However, when the free option is picked, the app generates its own sending number. These numbers are duplicated a lot. You can actually run into texting someone who got a text from someone else who also is using the app and it look like it came from the same person. Usually wouldn’t be a problem in most instances and overlap would be rare. But in those rare cases, it could make it look like the text came from same users and not different users. Can cause some confusion and controversy in the right circumstances. Contacted customer service about some questions regard

Loves me, loves her not!
Love, love, love, this app! Sometimes we gotta return sketchy to where sketchy came from!! Your man’s cheating and you start receiving weird calls from all kinds of unknown #’s you can bet she got a hold of his phone found your number and now wants to expose him!! Like we don’t already know!! Stupid —— —-! Nice try no need!!

Awful
I just wanted to use this for an April fools prank on a couple of people and this stupid app couldn’t even do its one job. I sent a few texts and signed up for the trial that allows me to send pictures and such and the day after starting the prank when I sent the first few texts, it would no longer work. The texts wouldn’t send after one day. I also found out that the pictures that said they sent did not actually send because the receivers did not get them. It completely ruined the entire thing because it did not work properly at all

Not Good
So I didn’t know you had to have credits and I tried to send a message but it said you have to have more credits so I clicked on it to get more credits but it’s ridiculous to have to pay for more credits now I can’t text my best friend and it’s your all’s fault you all need to like get some free credits on your app or nobody is going to keep using it you all need to stop being greedy of OTHER PEOPLE’S money that THEY WORK FOR it not fair at all let them keep the money they worked for the app doesn’t work I spend a whole 2 hours waiting to get a text back I still haven’t so I’m going to give th

Don’t waste money on non existent customer service
This app worked perfectly during the trial period. I’ve been purchased the minimum amount of credit to continue using it. It worked fine for a few days, and then just stopped working altogether. I reached out to support to find out how to fix the problem or to get a refund for the remaining credit. Weeks have passed and I have not heard anything. I recently got charged for the monthly subscription I have $7.99. Even though the app does not work. Save yourself the trouble and the eight bucks and just use a different app.

“Unknown Error” won’t let me send
The very first texts I sent went through just fine, and the app seemed like it would work out pretty well for me. However, you are only allotted three free credits before you are required to purchase them to send messages. I bought 10 since I only wanted to send a few texts, and ever since, every time I compose a message it says “unknown error, try again in a few minutes”. I have waited not just a few minutes but overnight, and the problem has not resolved. I have completely closed the app and re-opened it, and even deleted and re-gotten it. My internet is fine, but nothing seems to work. This

So far I like
Installed easy. Worked great right away. Texted myself to test and worked fabulous as I received my test text immediately and it was from a number I never would have imagined. Sent another text to a friend and generated a completely number. Pretty useful if needed. Credits aren’t too expensive if you’re not using as a primary communication tool (which isn’t its intended purpose) I recommend it!

Better and prettier
This app is cheaper then the other app I downloaded first. The trial is longer and it’s only $.99 to buy 10 extra credits! The whole set up looks better, pleasing to the eye which makes it feel more legit. There is not every area for every state though. From what I could tell. But it is my first day.

Great app, has minor glitches
This allows selling/buying a safer environment so you’re not giving out your private number. I can’t tell what number I’m sending from tho but I’m sure there’s a way...also when I first downloaded it was stuck on one screen so I had to delete and redownload. Also when attaching pics it’s unclear what to do but once you selected the pic to attach you just hit send. I was thinking you click the paper clip and it has to show in the message box. So far so good.

Good
The app works well and the credits are cheap. However, there is a limit on characters which is unfortunate. I just have to send multiple messages which uses up more credits faster, rather than typing one long message. I guess this is how they get you to buy the credits. When I texted my phone as a test it work flawlessly, the message was instant and I was able to respond with no problems. Overall the app is great, just wish the character limit was a bit larger. This is better than other texting apps I have used though, so I will continue to use it.

Nope
This app isn’t as great as you’d hope. You are not able to choose your number. It is chosen for you from a limited pool of areas that you pick from. You are not given the option to switch numbers. The only way you know the number ahead of time is to use one of the free credits to text yourself. The picture I sent was received in diminished quality. Very difficult to figure out how to cancel free trial. Nope.

So far so good
I like that it is super easy to start sending texts! No need for setting up account. No hassle no fuss! Have only sent one text and am waiting to see if it was received. Wanted to write review to get free credits but have decided to keep the app. I am ECSTATIC that we can send our customers texts and not have to use our personal numbers. Thank you!

Luv it!
Found this app in a quick search in the Apple Store. Download was quick and I was able to use it right away. You can't beat the price and it was very easy to use. It's a nice alternative when you need to send a message but don't necessarily want to give out your info. Will definitely recommend this app to others.

Great App!
Really easy to use. Takes less than a minute to get going, works just like a regular text. Very happy with it. Only question, which I can't seem to find an answer for, is where the charges appear for additional credits. I.e on the phone bill or do you pay via CC? Beyond that, awesome app!!

Awesome, good app to have for
Great! Does exactly what it says. Simple, easy to use. Almost better then the messaging that comes with your cellular device. Haven't had a glitch/issue since downloading for my business use. Super private! Unable to track/see info about sender. Keeps info secure to avoid the unnecessary hassle of dealing with 'needy' circumstances :)

Seems alright
I am writing this review to get free credits. I would pay for credits, however when I go to that part of the app there is just the spinning in the spending and I am able to see how many credits I have or to purchase any as of this time. I have sent one text message and do not yet know if it has been received. If it works, and I am easily able to purchase more credits, I'm sure I will like it. I am a medical professional and do not want to give out my personal phone number when I text my patients. If this works it will be most helpful to be able to text with them and not give my personal cell p

Downloaded Quick! Easy to use....
App downloaded quickly, you get 3 FREE Anonymous messages (credits) to send. 1 (sent) message ='s 1 credit used. For 99¢ you can get 10 more credits. Cheap for something you don't need to use all the time. But then when you do, you have a reliable app that sends the message(s) you want anonymously and private. I'm definitely happy with my download and my purchase of the 10 additional credits for 99¢!!
