## Review summary

User feedback is mixed: the app is praised for ease of use and having a second number with VPN at a reasonable price, but billing problems and unreliable messaging dominate complaints. Many users report unauthorized charges, difficulty cancelling, and slow or unhelpful support, along with performance issues such as lag and login failures that hinder use.

### Pros

- Easy to use with a clean, customizable UI.
- Provides a second phone number and includes a VPN.
- More affordable than many similar apps.
- Valuable for discreet communication without sharing your real number.

### Cons

- Billing and cancellation problems: unexpected charges, ongoing renewals, and difficulty cancelling.
- Text delivery issues: messages not delivered or blocked as spam, causing recipients not to receive texts.
- App instability: lag, crashes, freezes, and login/authentication errors (e.g., 'too many attempts').
- Inadequate customer support: slow responses or unresolved issues.
