## GV Connect Description
GV Connect is the most feature-complete Google Voice application available for your iPhone or iPad — text, call, and interact with your existing GV accounts using a beautiful and streamlined interface that gives you full control over your account settings:

• Place calls using your Google Voice number rather than your mobile number - enter number directly, select a contact from your device's contacts, or call back any number in your history. The application supports direct call (iPhone only), callback (Click2Call), and offline calling (see application website for a description of these calling modes)
• Send and receive text messages (SMS) from your Google Voice number - including support for long SMS, group messages, picture messages (MMS – available as In-App purchase), and support for non-English messages. Supports in-line replies with an iMessage-like interface
• Automatically check for new messages and voicemails - even when the application is in the background
• Listen to voicemails and recorded conversations right on your device (allowing you to pause, rewind, or fast forward to any point within the message) - voicemails will show the transcription of the message when available
• Un/-archive messages, mark them as un-/read or starred, attach notes to conversations, block/unblock senders, trash or delete conversations
• Easily search in your history by contact, message, or note text - supports continuing searches online for messages that have not yet been cached locally
• Messages are stored on your device for offline access
• Quickly change various Google Voice account settings (call forwarding, do-not-disturb — including the option to have DND automatically expire at a specified time, message notifications, …)
• Add, verify, and remove forwarding phone numbers
• Quick Settings allow saving and restoring complete account settings (DND, forwarding, …) for easy switching between different profiles
• Support for automatic selection of Quick Settings based on current location (available as In-App Purchase)
• Direct access to your device's contacts without needing to synchronize them with Google
• Quick access to favorite phone numbers for calls and SMS
• Universal application which runs optimized on iPhone (including iPhone X), iPod Touch, and iPad (including split-screen multi-tasking on supported devices running iOS 12.0 or later)
• Optional application passcode lock (with TouchID/FaceID option on supported devices)
• Supports gesture navigation when typing text for easier placement of the cursor: swipe left/right with one or two fingers to move the caret position backwards/forward by character or word. Swipe left/right with three fingers to go to the beginning/end of the existing text

* Recipient of an honorable mention in the 2010 Best App Ever Awards *

NOTE: An existing Google Voice account with a GV phone number is required to use this application  - signup for new Google Voice accounts is currently limited to residents of the US. Please note that GV Connect is NOT a VoIP application and will not allow making or receiving calls from an iPad/iPod Touch without a separate VoIP application.

GV Connect stores your account password securely in your device's Keychain for faster login when launching the application. All communication is done exclusively via secure connections (SSL) to the Google Voice servers owned and operated by Google and no contact information (other than the contact's phone number which is required to place a call or send a message) is sent to Google or any other party. All operations are fully synchronized with your Google Voice account.

Please read the FAQ section on the application website if you encounter any issues or use the feedback email link in its about screen to ask for support.

## GV Connect Reviews in United States

### ***** "Another Successful Update"
Well done and thanks, Andreas. Fixed a problem that I didn’t even know I had yet!
-- Augray, 2024-10-10

### *---- "Voice Error - Dead App"
One of the best and most useful apps appears to have cross over into the app graveyard.  When you place a call, you only get a voice error pop up message.  RIP great app.
-- KPOB-TV, 2024-10-05

### ***** "Can’t DIRECTLY paste images into SMS"
Seems strange that in order to paste an image into a text message, I must first tap on the photo button as if I’m going to add one from my camera roll. Only then, do I see the option to paste from clipboard. That is not very intuitive at all. The app should allow simply pasting directly into the text field like any other messaging app. Still, I’m grateful that this app exists, because the morons at Google just refuse to add a passcode lock to the official app.
-- TheGhostOfSteveJobz, 2024-10-04

### *---- "It hasn’t worked in months"
This app used to be amazing. It hasn’t worked in months and the google app isn’t half as good as this app used to be. Really miss this app
-- NHMobileGuy, 2024-08-29

### ***** "Supports GoogleVoice better than Google 🤔"
I’ve used this application for years and the developer never fails to keep up with the API changes Google through a st it.
-- GVConnect4Ever, 2024-08-06

### ***** "Essential app for GV!"
ProTip: If you’re receiving errors when making changes to your profiles, remove your Google login and add it back again. GV Connect was among the first apps I excitedly purchased upon acquiring my iPhone 3GS (yes, that long ago). Since then, while many competing apps became abandonware, GV has stood the test of time and adapted to Google’s API changes. The only limitation is a delay in push messaging which can be worked around in different ways. (Another reviewer expressed interest in Push API on a subscription basis, and I second that request.) I have an ObiTalk device and use Google Voice for my “home phone”. My favorite feature of GV Connect is the ability to have multiple location-specific profiles that engage automatically. This enables me to forward the GV number to Obi (and all house phones) when I’m home (and not annoyingly ring my cell simultaneously). When I leave home a default profile engages that rings my cell and disengages the Obi. When I’m at work I use a profile that GV on DND (do not disturb), save for a family call group. This app is truly magical. I never expected Google to support GV for as long as they have. This app adds tremendous value to me and to ensure it remains sustainable for the developer, I would support a subscription model if that would help ensure it’s long term availability. Ive also used the tip jar time to time :)
-- LAX20531, 2024-07-22

### *---- "MMS"
I paid for mms and it’s not working. I can’t send attachments
-- Sdubu wilson, 2024-03-26

### ***** "Best app, Google voice management"
You can have multiple accounts connected here and manage them all. There’s some enhance functionality when you pay two dollars and it’s worth every penny I highly recommend it and you should support developers because they created really really good app that is paired with Google voice GREAT.
-- Adam Shalit, 2024-03-01

### ***** "This guy cares"
I have had this app for many years. It has had to change some good and bad with the google infrastructure constantly modified. 
For those that read customer service is poor this is bull. 
This developer who is not in America has always directly responded to any issue that has popped up and with google they do. He does not send some lame canned response and the same developer has owned this app since day one.
Recently big issues with the app and there was a version change within 2 days. Try that on your other apps.
-- Docj, 2024-01-22

### ***** "Excellent app"
Really excellent app. Developer has done a great job of responding to bug reports and keeping it functional for my workflows. Thank you so much for providing a really basic feature that Google has somehow overlooked all these years!
-- gujamin, 2024-01-22

### *---- "App login fails"
Login screen never completes…
-- Gd889544, 2024-01-08

### *---- "Notifications"
I can’t make calls through the app anymore. An error message pops up.
-- Yjus67$&q, 2023-12-14

### *---- "SMS"
This app won’t let me send messages anymore
-- MonnyBlack1, 2023-12-06

### *---- "GV"
Great app to use as a separate line for business. Provides all functionality of a cell phone from
SMS to MMS. Now the SMS are delayed in sending and receiving. Also pictures are compressed. Other than that it’s a good app.
-- Dre2223, 2023-09-15

### *---- "Horrible Technical Customer Service"
The developer for this app is charging money for technical support to use their app 😳. This app use to work when I downloaded it. Overthe years the app has gone down hill. It never works like the developer claims. You are better of using the Google Voice app developed by Google (Alphabet).
-- Slow_Motion1, 2023-08-19

### *---- "Complain"
MMS/sending and receiving pictures not working for me and I paid for it wack app
-- Horlamhiplenty, 2023-06-17

### ***** "Great App - 1 Problem…"
I’ve had this app for MANY years. I appreciate the developer keeping it going. I have 2 different Google Voice numbers, so I use the native Google Voice app from Google for one account and this app for my 2nd GV account. 

I know I can use the native GV app with multiple account now (before you couldn’t) but I like having 2 separate apps. 

Also, this app has some great features the one from Google doesn’t have. The notes feature is GREAT!!!

Only problem is, notifications don’t seem to work anymore. That might be due to Google or iOS. Hopefully the developer can figure it out. 

Other than that, it’s a great app.
-- WorldTravelFun, 2023-06-14

### ***** "GV"
This app really opens up all the options available to u, instead of the regular app that is very limited. Great app!
-- Bia War, 2023-03-25

### ****- "Years of faithful service"
Still one of the few fully featured Google Voice clients that is faithfully maintained.
-- seany @ iTunes, 2023-02-10

### ***** "Better than ever!"
I’ve been a user for about ten years I believe and there has been no let up in development throughout that entire time. Nor, incredibly, has there been a change to a subscription model. This developer puts users first in a way that is very refreshing.  I was compelled to write a review because I hadn’t been on his website in many years. Doing so tonight I discovered even more clever ways to optimize my phone calls. In particular how to manage multiple gvoice accounts from the app when I only have a single cell phone number, making it difficult to switch between gvoice accounts to, say, call in a pizza order without giving up my primary gvoice number. I’ve also become very sensitive to app data use disclosures and when comparing GV’s app disclosures in the App Store to goggle’s Voice app I thought to myself, “why would anyone use anything else?” Thank you for all you do GV team.  Contributing to tip jar.
