Good but failing again

I got a text this morning saying that they are failing. I have had a different version of the app once before. But of course that one failed and you cannot keep your old number. you have to make a new account and add all the numbers you had. I have done this once before and I will not use it again due to the unstabbility of the company. I am outraged because I love this app you can call and text from it send images etc. But the last one you could only text. Please do not get this app because it will fail soon. I am now looking for a new text app for MacBook Air.

Breaks after every update, here again reinstalling AD laden APP.

It was great APP in 2009. It's growth has caused me and a lot of people a lot of pain. Forget Tech Support, it all comes down to buying a new phone and computer and reinstalling the APP after every update. Support is great about finding ways to waste your time. Once they ask for screen shots, they are done with you….crickets.
I prefered the way you could watch videos to earn minutes or simply buy them. Now, the ADS take over. Some even blast full volume while the Close button remains unresponsive until most of the ad has played.
I am reinstalling after the last update, where the APP is doing a familiar thing. Opens, closes, opens, closes, without end. The phone is a bit better, it only opens and crashes a usual 3 times before remaing open.
I am looking for another APP, but, I have had the same number for 10 years now, and would like the company to just fix the thing already.
And, they broke it again

Needs Find feature for text - Latest version Crashes GPU of MacBookPro

Latest version Crashes GPU of MacBookPro

This program desperately needs a Find feature in the Edit menu for searching the text of a conversation.

It used to lock up on ads but they seem to have solved that. Old issue: Normally this application puts up ads in the lower left corner. That's fine. I can look at them and the app still functions. Once in a while it puts up a modal dialog box and locks you into an ad which you can't get out of except by force quitting TextNow. For this reason I give it only one star. The app is a little kluggy. It needs refinement. For that I should deduct one more star.
