The app is fine.. does what it says it will, to an extent. The base plan still uses VoIP numbers, same as the free service from Google, and those couldn't be used for my needs. I was unable to cancel through the app during the trial period so I ended up getting charged for something I can't use. If I get a refund I'll give them a better review, but until them I would recommend using a different service.

I use Burner as a phone line for a small business because it's cheaper than getting a business line with the big carriers. But it doesn't work well at all. Nearly every time I open this app, it freezes. I have to force stop to use it. The voice mail function is seriously broken. Customers leave Voice mails that we are unable to play. Sometimes while playing a voice mail, the app dials the customer while we're listening to the voice mail. I have reinstalled multiple times with no luck.

I have a single line subscription. App works when it wants to. Either freezes up, doesn't open, or Im unable to answer a call. Prior to using, I'd always have to force stop the app and clear its cache. After doing that 2 or 3 times, it would finally work. Other times, when the first digit of a phone number is pressed, there would be a long continuous number tone sound, and the only way to stop it is to force stop it. Otherwise, the app does maintain a stable connection once on a call.
