Oh my Lord this app is awful. First of all, the inmate's voice plays from the small speaker that you're supposed to put your phone up to during a call, not the regular speaker that allows you to hear a person and see their face at the same time. And then most of the time he can't hear me at all! I've tried my Bluetooth headset and 2 different speakers.... 75% of the time he gets no sound on his end. But we still get charged. Video messages i receive are zoomed in like 4x. HATE THIS APP.

Hate. To add cash is nothing short of a headache. There's an option to add it to your Google Wallet, which I interpreted to mean I no longer had to navigate your poorly constructed app, and would just need the code scanned and the money handed over. Sadly, that's not the case. It's disposable. You're going to put many of us on anxiety meds. You give no warning, no heads up, no indication whatsoever that your phone call is ending. Truthfully, that's just mean. Ridiculous.

Most of the time it's fine. I'm greatful for being able to talk to my loved one. However, since the update last week I've gotten nothing but "unknown error" pop ups on the bottom of my screen and my inmate disappears from my list. I have to close the app and reopen it, sometimes multiple times, before it will show me the name again. My husband has the same issue. I also lost the ability to send pictures from my storage. It's no longer an option in my permissions to allow it. Dropped calls too.

Really bad connections 90% of the time. 2 stars only because when we can hear each other and it's not frozen, we can communicate. Which is better than nothing. It seems whenever we get to talking about something important, the app stutters, freezes, but continues to charge. Revisited this review. App freezes and continues to charge more often than we're able to converse. It's annoying. In one call, she had to call back 10x. Each time she hung up, the indicator went immediately from 1 to 5 bars.

steals time during every visit (we've watched the seconds skip), freezes up, sometimes there's no audio or it echoes and sometimes it won't connect at all but still takes minutes away. As expensive as it is to use you'd think it would work better and why steal our time when you're charging us out the wazoo already. oh and I have an excellent phone and WiFi so it's the app.

Absolutely awful. Difficult to navigate. Almost impossible to go through the tutorials. User authentication is something just shy of what would be required to visit the NORAD command center during DEFCON 2. For no apparent reason. Have had very SERIOUS issues. Volume was so low I could not hear during several phone calls. I had to put the phone to my ear to hear anything, and was terminated for not having my face in the.video. Yeah. Terminated before I could get crucial legal information.

Still has bugs to work out. Can add money for their HomeWav account (can call/text anyone) or Talk to Me (only call/text you). They keep raising rates, now it's 'per character' charged. Used to be .50 per message. Can't send letters anymore so you're forced to use this app. Better to do video visit or phone call. Can't use this to add money for commissary. The app is glitchy, been this way for at least a cpl yrs. I've never gotten a refund when my inmates have been released or transfered.

I think the app is awesome when you use it on the laptop. Besides that, they're horrible with refunds request. I submitted my refund request since 9/21 and I haven't seen my money in my bank account. Be sure to small amounts as you're using it. Otherwise you won't see that money... at least I haven't seen mine yet. Just sent them another request, let's see how long that takes! 😒
