Used to work for phone verification, no longer works for tinder, no longer works for okcupid, doesn’t work for google verification. It’s still good to use for stuff like craigslist when you dont want to give out your real number. This problem is not completely burner app’s fault, more to do with these dumb companies who want to data mine you and sell your number. I get constant spam calls on my real number and using burner numbers is a defense against that trash. The whole phone number system is broken and outdated. We need a better way to protect our numbers from these sites that sell them to spammers. I am tired of the car insurance bot calls i get every day. So yeah burner needs to find new numbers that pass verification or at least warn users that this app will not work on certain sites. Again it used to be great and I used it with tinder and a bunch of apps and it worked fine. It still works with Bumble for now but that’s likely due to bumble not checking whatever voip number lists that google and match group(owns tinder and okcupid) are now using. I’ll still use it for giving out my number to randos on craigslist etc but worthless now for sms verification for most sites.

Love the idea for this app. I sell things on Craigslist and using my actual # was getting me added to massive SMS spam groups. Worked great the first month. Just renewed and notifications stopped working. Only other thing that changed was update the other day to 12.1.4. Sometimes I'll get notified of texts, sometimes I won't. Even when I do, upon opening the conversation, the app hasn't updated with the text (even if it was present in the notification)! The only way I can see it in those instances is to force-close and reopen the conversation. Other times, I never get a notification and when I go back to check, the other person texted me what seems like hours ago. It only shows me the last time I sent a message, so I'm not sure. This needs to be fixed. I won't be renewing this month if it's not. Also, there should be a time stamp on every message. Either via pulling to the side like in Messages or long/3d-touching a message.

Not consistent at all. The first few days I had the app were fine so I paid to keep everything going. Now a few days later I can't access anything. Keeps saying I need to check my connection which I've done along with a couple of other usual 'fixes' for other apps and nothing. So disappointed.

Tested extensively for two months last year but it wouldn't stay hooked up to Google Sheets. Got charged for a second year, would not refund. Probably fine for free use, but not reliable. Caveat emptor.

The customer support for this app is absolutely terrible! 1. There is no phone number to speak to a live person, they hide behind an email address. 2. Their choice of using GPay for subscription is flawed tragically as they have no mechanism to validate legitimate paid subscriptions through GPay. This is a textbook example of B2B controls failure. I wonder how much business is lost because of this. 3. The app itself is buggy. It is impossible to update the software level in the app

Long time user, heavy user ... no longer useful Ive been using this from the beginning. Even with the constant glitches, crashes , and intermittently not working, i stuck by this app. But without notice , they have eliminated all ALL, budget friendly options. The only option requires 8 credits! And youll need to buy "credits" in only 25 pack with is about $13. I wont be renewing my subscription. And ill file a charge back with my cc company. I wouldn't download this crock of sheot. U been warn

I had a client pay nearly $500 USD to have my phone number. I chose this Burner app because it offered picture messages that I could send and receive. Once I paid for the best plan, I quickly realize none of my photos were going through. I couldn’t send them to myself or my client. It looked like they went through but we never received them. I messaged support and they told me it should work, and to uninstall the app and reinstall... so I did that, and when I logged back in it actually made me pay AGAIN, but tbh the money wasn’t the issue. I can afford a few bucks, but I NEEDED this to work as someone paid me hundreds for it. So reinstalling it didn’t work. I messaged support again and they said they could offer me another line for free, which I didn’t want bc my client already had “my number,” so it would be weird to change it so soon, but I said as long as it worked I’d figure it out. Setup that new line, tested it out, same exact issue. I’m using an iPhone 12 Pro Max. Taking the photos within the Burner app itself. Their latest email said the specs of my photos are correct and that it should work... (but it doesn’t). And then they said the only thing they can do is offer a refund, but since it was purchase in the App Store, they CANT process a refund... LOL they contradicted themselves in the same sentence. Ridiculous products. If you need picture messages. DONT USE THIS APP!

Not a good app. I was charged $10.69 3 times per month since July. I signed up for $4.99 per month plan. Took my acct into the negative and cost me more than a regular phone plan from Verizon would cost.
