Features & Capabilities

HomeWAV is a Chrome extension designed for inmate-visitor social networking. Visitors can create an account, log in, select the facility, add the inmate, and manage funds and payment methods to stay connected via calls, video calls, and messaging.

User Reviews

Users value HomeWAV for connecting with loved ones, but a pattern of reliability and billing problems dominates: constant logins/logouts, dropped or failed calls/video, crashing and offline behavior, steep per-message charges with funds issues, and weak customer support. The core purpose is clear, but persistent technical and service issues significantly hinder usability on iOS.
Pros
  • Enables staying in touch with loved ones via calls, video, and messaging (the app’s core function).
  • Supports multiple communication modes (voice, video, text) which users rely on despite issues.
  • Valuable for families seeking contact with inmates, providing a channel that many reviews emphasize.
Cons
  • Frequent login/logout issues; accounts get logged out during calls.
  • Calls and video calls frequently fail to connect or drop, with poor audio/video quality.
  • App crashes, freezes, or becomes unresponsive; the system goes offline often.
  • High and per-message fees for texts, photos, and videos; funds management and adding funds can be problematic.
  • Poor customer support and unresolved issues (account suspensions, slow responses, ignored inquiries).
