## Review summary

Users prize the app for providing a second phone number and view it as useful over time, with less aggressive monetization. However, frequent sign-in and verification loops, a flaky onboarding flow, privacy concerns, and data persistence problems undermine reliability. When setup works, it’s valuable as a secondary line, but onboarding and account stability issues are the main negatives.

### Pros

- Provides a convenient second phone number for personal or business use.
- Long-term usefulness with strong positive sentiment from longtime users (lifesaver, love this app, THE BEST).
- Relatively light on ads and doesn't aggressively push premium upgrades.
- Good for staying in touch with family or kids using a secondary line.

### Cons

- Frequent sign-in and verification problems (loops, not being able to complete login, human verification issues).
- Onboarding/signup flow is flaky (steps skipping or forcing repeats).
- Monetization/frustration with paid features (e.g., pay $9.99/mo for sending messages).
- Privacy/identity verification concerns (identity upload requirements and broad app permissions).
- Data persistence/login issues after reinstall (sometimes logs back into previous account).
