Reviews for Voxer Walkie Talkie Messenger

I've had issues again today that I will receive notifications of new messages in a chat, but they do not show up when I go into the chat. (This happened once before and was fixed by removing myself from thr group and being added again. ) More importantly and why I gave it 2 stars, voxer needs to have a search ability for keywords within chats for Android users, not just iPhone users. Thank you!

Without a doubt one of the buggiest apps I've ever used. I almost never get notifications when a new message comes in, and then somehow it shows me several unread messages even though I've read them. I've played around with all the settings multiple times, nothing solves the problems. The only reason I still have this is that I have one friend who insists on using it to communicate. Otherwise I would have given up long ago. It's pretty much useless.

Everytime they patch it, something else gets broken. This app always has issues. Ive used it for well over 7 years now and it never seems to work properly. The only reason I continue to use it is because it's literally the only way my friends communicate with each other anymore. When it works properly (rare) it really is a great app. There are plenty of better PTT apps out there, but my friends are stubborn and won't make the switch, so I will sadly continue using this app.

Incredibly excessive battery usage. I noticed my battery life was tanking and when I checked, Voxer was responsible for a full 25% of battery use in the past 24 hours. I never opened the app once during that time. I honestly suspect something shady is going on behind the scenes, there's no other reason an app I never opened should use five times more battery than apps I use constantly. Don't download this and if you have, consider uninstalling.

Can not hear my messages! I've used this app for months with my coworkers as walkie-talkie. Within the last month I've had so many issues. I can no longer hear messages sent unless I connect my Bluetooth headphones and insert them into my ears. I cannot figure out why I cannot get to play the messages on speakerphone mode. So frustrated. I even paid for the premium subscription. Hoping that would fix the issue and it has not. Super disappointed.

This used to be a 5 star app. The longer I've used it the worse it's gotten. I get notifications then I go in and they aren't there. Sometimes closing the app helps, sometimes not. Sometimes things send, sometimes not. It's completely unreliable at this point. I pay for this app but only to be able to hear my dead fathers voice messages, otherwise I would be gone.

I love using Voxer - much preferred to texting and so much easier to communicate with people. However, the app can be pretty glitchy. Usually 1/10 messages I send cannot be heard by the people I send it to, or gets majorly cut off. Notifications are also a problem: they don't usually get "marked as read" properly when opening a thread, and friends who use it say they sometimes aren't notified when receiving new messages.

This is a very buggy application. I use it on android and it randomly pulls down my notifications when I hold the phone up to my ear (without touching my ear), will say I still have messages unread or unheard when I've seen everything. You can't search through old messages, so if you need any of the information you get in a Voxer message save it somewhere that can be found quickly. Notifications haven't been working for 2 weeks now so I never know when I get new messages. Don't recommend at all.

Use app to keep in touch with clients. Even though I have the notification service turned on, the app will crash several times a day and I won't receive notification of a new message. Will also force close when I try to open it and manually check for messages. Only occasionally receives emails of new messages, which would help with the missed notifications, but because it doesn't work, almost completely useless.

Really clunky, terrible aesthetics (layout, emojis, etc.), no API available so nothing will integrate with it. Always says you have new messages when you don't and doesn't tell you when you do. No video function. You cant keep recording a message and exit out of the app so if you need to read something off your phone into a message, you cant. Nor can you turn your screen off so you might be recording a long message and bump the screen and it'll stop recording and you won't know. Oh, and good luck if you try to use the desktop version... Seems like no love went into this app at all. Whatsapp is better in every way except that you can listen to messages at 2x, 3x, or 4x speed. Truly the only feature that makes it worth having.
