## Review summary

The reviews show a mixed experience. Some users praise usability and security, noting good messaging/calling features and recommending the app. However, recurring issues dominate: accounts are banned without clear reason and refunds are contested; billing problems persist around numbers and premium pricing; ads impair the experience; message delivery is unreliable with poor support; and sign-up/login friction. Overall reliability and trust are major concerns despite occasional positive feedback.

### Pros

- Some users praise usability and overall quality (e.g., 'Perfect App', 'great', 'excellent', 'best', 'I highly recommend').
- Security is mentioned positively (described as 'secure and safe').
- The app provides messaging and calling features.

### Cons

- Frequent account bans without warning or clear explanation.
- Billing and pricing issues (being charged for numbers, 'premium' numbers, yearly fees, and refunds disputed).
- Ads and paid distractions (too many ads).
- Message delivery problems (texts failing or showing 'not delivered') and unresponsive support.
- Sign-up/login friction (limited sign-in options and issues accessing other accounts).
