I would give it five stars but...
So this app has worked perfect for me while I’m living in Japan. I get calls from the states I can text everything goes through quickly I’m not sure why everyone else is complaining about lag I don’t experience any of it. I do however experience a very very annoying treat and I’m not sure if Talkatone is responsible for it or not. But I’m gonna blame them anyway because it is their app. Whenever I am texting someone my phone opens the App Store. Even if I close it it really opens it and it takes me to some dating site or something weird sometimes it says I’m in the wrong App Store. Which I assume means that I’m trying to get the American app Stor when I’m really in Japan not sure what that’s all about but even if I close out talk atone and reopen it and go back to texting it’s only a matter of seconds before the App Store starts opening up. And then it’s frustration time because you have to close both applications the App Store and Talkatone and then re-launch Talkatone to continue were you were texting only for a few minutes later to start the process all over again. Talk atone if you are listening to this review I love you guys I can even send you video of what I’m experiencing but something needs to be done because this is crap. Otherwise I am extremely happy I’ve even thought about buying the package to disable ads and my only worry is that it would not fix the App Store opening up.
Developer Response,
Hello,thank you for your review & feedback. Talkatone has recently been made of aware of this issue,and we are currently looking into it. We apologize for the inconvenience this causes you.
garbage (and that's being kind)
if you enjoy endless frustration, go ahead and get this awful app.. if you need to get a text reliably through, don't bank on this at all.. EVERYthing i ask it to do results in a huge delay of 40 seconds to a minute.. not kidding at all.. EVERY..thing! waiting for conversations to load takes forever! calling up the text box takes forever! seeing actual contact names instead of their numbers takes forever! even just trying to complete a text to someone TAKES FOREVER because of hiccups and long delays!! i have to pretty much count on a five minute ordeal just to send a simple text to someone, EVERY time! my god, even the ads don't fit the spaces provided for them, ads from local business here.. i bet they don't even know what they're getting for their advertising dollars.. even aesthetically this app is awful.. COULD THIS APP GET ANY WORSE!? (sadly, probably)..
oh! a new update! hopefully they've addressed the delay issue! ...oh, no, no they haven't.. i just sent a text that took a minute and 15 seconds to go through.. everything still takes a millennium.. the app won't even rotate from portrait to landscape in less than 45 seconds! IT CAN'T EVEN DO THAT REASONABLY QUICKLY!!
what in the living hell is the problem!? PLEASE sell this app to a developer who cares.. PLEASE!!

I’ve had this app for 2 years. I would have given it 5 stars because it worked great!
In the last 2 weeks. all calls go directly to voicemail. I have emailed support at least 5 times and still no answer ( I mean they don’t even respond)!!!!!!!! In the past you could delete the app and reinstall it. and nothing was lost.. not this time!!!!
I delete it and reinstalled it and everything I had on there is gone!!!!! Some of this was special stuff.. plus numbers I now can’t get back.. I’m so disappointed!!!
Especially in the fact that support doesn’t answer!!! And I still can’t get calls or even know I have a call. it doesn’t ring.. but goes directly to voicemail! And I only find out I have a call from looking at my emails! If support answers and fixes this problem I will change this back to 5 stars. because it always worked in the past!!! And if there was a problem support contacted me right away.. not this time.
I’m devastated that I lost messages and call logs. from someone special!!!!

A free calling app is the perfect way to cut down usage on your voice plan. In fact, with an app that makes internet calls, you don't even need a voice plan with your iPhone, iPod, or iPad because as long as you can reach Wi-Fi, you can make a phone call.
iOS users already have a built-in calling function called FaceTime that can make both audio and video calls for free using the internet, but it's limited to Macs and other iOS devices. Fortunately, there are plenty of really great, free calling apps that are cross-platform, meaning you can use one to call anyone else who has the app, whether they're using Android, Windows Phone, or even a computer.
Apps that make free phone calls are limited by nothing but a data connection. This means you can call someone halfway across the world or the person in the other room, and it's free either way.
Note
All of the apps listed below require a data connection, so while Wi-Fi is free, using one to call over your data plan will suck away at your data usage. If you have a severely limited data plan, please monitor your consumption and consider using these voice calling apps sparingly.
Skype
What We Like

You can send voice messages, videos, and images

WhatsApp is the most popular VoIP app for mobile devices. According to Facebook, which owns the app, WhatsApp has more than one billion users.
One thing that sets WhatsApp apart from other internet calling apps is that, according to them, 'privacy and security is in our DNA.' Because end-to-end encryption is enabled, WhatsApp ensures that nobody can spy on your phone calls.
There's a WhatsApp app for iPhone, Android, and Windows Phone devices. If you're on a Windows or macOS computer, you can use WhatsApp there as well. Voice messaging, texting, and file sharing works through WhatsApp in a browser, too.
