## Description

GV Connect is a feature-rich Google Voice companion for iOS that lets you place calls using your Google Voice number, send and receive SMS, and manage voicemails from a single, streamlined interface. It supports direct calls, callback (Click2Call), offline calling, long SMS, and MMS (in-app purchase). It also offers inline replies in an iMessage-like experience, powerful search, and offline access to messages.

Beyond messaging, GV Connect provides quick settings, call forwarding, DND with auto-expire, favorite numbers, and secure login via Keychain with SSL communications. It is designed to run on iPhone and iPad; note that you need an existing GV account (US availability is required) and GV Connect is not a standalone VoIP app for iPad without a compatible VoIP solution.

## Review summary

GV Connect is praised for developer responsiveness, multi-account support with profiles, and feature-rich enhancements that extend Google Voice for business and power users. However, MMS failures, call/messaging errors, unreliable push notifications, device compatibility issues, and mixed support access are common pain points. Overall, it remains a long-running, powerful GV tool when its reliability is sufficient for the user’s workflow.

### Pros

- Ongoing, responsive development that keeps GV Connect aligned with Google Voice API changes.
- Supports multiple Google Voice numbers/accounts with location-based profiles and notes for business/home use.
- Feature-rich alternative to the official Google Voice app, including call-back, direct calls, and native dialer integration.
- Longstanding, trusted tool for power users and businesses with regular updates and no mandatory subscription.

### Cons

- MMS and sending attachments often don’t work, even after purchase.
- Calls and messages can fail or show errors; occasional login/redirect issues.
- Push notifications are unreliable or delayed and not real-time.
- Compatibility issues on newer devices (e.g., iPhone 17 Pro Max) requiring updates.
- Support accessibility is mixed, with reports of difficult contact and perceived paid support.
