What??!!
I downloaded text plus for my iPad Pro 11.I had no idea when I downloaded it, that going it was going to be, my now favorite app. Not only is it easy to use,it works flawlessly. Granted, it’s a little annoying trying to earn credits, so I just paid for a year of unlimited talk and text. I don’t really talk on the phone, but if I have to, guess who’s doing it free? I pay for unlimited data, so this is a win/win! The only thing I don’t like,is that I paid for the unlimited talk and text, to keep my number a year, and add removal for a year, so why are there still ads trying to get me to earn credit? Please fix this because it’s super annoying. Other than that, good job! Y’all get this app,you won’t regret it!

Very helpful app worth to have plus even
This app is amazing, very helpful, I have been in network for years and spending a lot of amounts of money every month for absolutely no one to text or call me other then priority people of governments or medication purposes I stopped paying bunch of money for networks even if they are unlimited and special and u mostly doing nothing in ur phone literally worthless, until I found a app called TextNow this was perfect for me since phone number isn’t priority to have specifically when u have WhatsApp I mean imagine in Asian or middle eastern countries or even Europe when they stop their network they don’t lose their phone number or gets dead.. not like how it is in America or even Canada, but I found TextNow the best way to deal with stuff, also very perfect price even if it’s a second number or acting like the app of WhatsApp does, I still find it very good and perfect for me, 5 dollar for keeping the phone forever and sending and calling people unlimited it’s amazing price and even if it works only when WiFi is available I still find it perfect.

Don’t download if you plan to use it!!
I had this app and the same number, for several months. Didn’t send many texts though. Then, I decided to use it as my main texting number. About 20 days in BAM! I wasn’t getting messages and mine weren’t going out. Ok, contact support and after jumping through a few hoops, they gave the lame excuse that it was my carrier. Which was a crock. Because I had the app on two different devices with different carriers. If it had been my carrier, then it would have worked on at least one of my devices. Eventually, I was logged out of my account on both devices and not able to get back in. Sooooo…after a month or so, decided to download it and try again. Because before all that happened, it was actually a pretty neat app. I was able to get a new account, different number. And it worked great…until I actually started using it. Heck I even paid for a month of no ads. Then BAM! I am logged out and can’t log back in. Sent a report to support. Still haven’t heard back. But this app is good, if you don’t use it much. But more than 3 chats and it’s like they lose their minds and close the account. And although 99 cents won’t make or break me, I still feel ripped off!
