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).

You can’t get help when you need it. Took forever to get approved. I kept adding money but couldn’t get approved so I took back the money. Now I owe them and can’t figure out how to pay them. At one point I got a call from a nice lady. I should have kept her number. I didn’t. Now what. All I want to do is get ahold of my brother. Many states away.
