I bought this app...Horrible decision. Not useful. Every time I delete a conversation it closes and I have to re-open it. I can't even see my whole conversation with someone.
Update*** It is much better now!

KEEPS ASKING ME TO SIGN IN SAYS WRONG ID/PASS BUT IT IS NOT! FIX THIS!

but pretty unstable at the moment - notifications come in several times and quite delayed, interface hard to work with - but, a good start

The author has addressed the following feedback (thanks!):
a) should be able to perform actions (delete, archive, etc) within a text/voicemail, not just from the outer "list" screen
b) need to be able to search using search charm!
Still looking for the following:
c) when I reply to a text the reply should show up in the same thread, even if it was a while ago, similar to behavior of web interface (it's weird to reply to a thread and not have anything show up...)

good implementation. like notifications on the computer when calls/messages come in. very windows 8.1 like
3 October 2013
the 7 day trial is a bit of a let down...Should have two versions instead with free version that is ad supported and full version ad free and other features...overall it's a nice app...

This does everything I need for a text-based Google Voice Client. Hopefully the developer gets Google's permission for this to continue to operate come May 15 2014. It would be a shame to lose the app I paid for...

Needs to be able to make and receive phone calls like the GV on other platforms. Its a solid app but needs a lot of work in comparison to the real thing. Also, text message response is slow. Keep working developers.. I know you can do it!
14 November 2012
This is not the quality of a paid app.
5 March 2014
This is an excellent Google Voice client for Windows 8 and Windows 8.1! It meets my needs and I highly reccomend it!

Basically, you just go to Google Voice website and they have better interface for users. This is App doesn't help you at all. I shouldn't purchase this App before I read reviews. This App can't make calls directly. It has to go through your phone to make calls. I have no idea why they want to charge $2, and I must be stupid to buy this APP.

If you have google voice, can't stand typing on a touch screen as much as you like typing on a keyboard, and are at your computer working a lot, this application is super sweet. At work, it saves me tons of time and looks more acceptable then having to grab my phone and type a text, especially when the other person insists on having a full conversation in text instead of just calling(pretty normal these days), and I type faster on my keyboard then on my S3. Great App

I work at home and use a 4G LTE tablet for my "phone" while I'm out. This lets me text in a much easier way than with anything else, and use it across all of my devices. It's awesome.
10 February 2013
I work at the computer all day and this definitely comes in handy and beats texting on my phone or opening up a web browser to check my messages. Setting up push notifications doesn't quite work anymore because of some changes google made so its not quite real time. Another annoyance is that you can't copy and paste messages nor can you click links in messages to take you to a website. Otherwise, I'm happy with the program and found it well worth the $1.99. I hope the developer continues updates
15 January 2013
Nice app worth the $... getting better with updates
10 October 2012
I purchased this app, but only think it doing displaying list of people from whole you get text, voice or missed call. I can not find a way to display full text of message received, nor play back voicemail, nor any other functionality short of notification that message received. Am I missing something, or it expected for not free tool?
28 February 2014
If you need Google Voice this is your program!
17 March 2013
Every time I have to reinstall my OS or have to remove the app because of a problem I am forced to PAY AGAIN!!!! This is the last time I am paying for this app, it simply isn't worth it.
30 November 2012
Very poor - does not support an account with a password that contains spaces.
3 November 2012
I've been looking for something like this app for a very long time, and it definitely has promise. It's just lacking in a few areas. The inability to quickly reply from the conversation view, and the long delay before receiving notifications are the main faults. It has most of the features there, it just needs to be implemented a little bit better.
9 October 2012
Great possibilities for this app, but in its current state is hardly usable. Most basic need is to be able to view the text conversations you're having, and it's oddly not possible in this app...
2 March 2014
I installed the trial of this app as Windows 8 will not allow install of the web based extension for some reason. It logs in, then the login prompt reappears and states "could not log in using those credentials". This is a crock, it logs in then kicks you offline. Anyone know a fix?
19 October 2013
Tiles will group conversations to the same person separately, can't see text bubble when typing on screen (only on keyboard) but notifications are quick. Good app but could use some improvement.
18 September 2013
Coming from the Mac world I've always wanted a nice, polished dedicated Google Voice application. While this one could have improvements, a lot of those are probably more aspects of Win 8 I have yet to warm up to more than they are the app's. It's got a nice clean look and so far has worked well.
14 September 2013
This product does all I had hoped. Shows messages and transcripts in a simple and intuitive manner. I'm a fan.
8 August 2013
Overall a good Google Voice app, doesn't have a very good messaging system, starts new sessions everyday instead of continuing the old, but besides that no complaints.
12 June 2013
This app makes Win8 almost worth suffering with. I use this app to receive and send texts as much as I use my phone. I get texts fast, often the same time as my phone, even when I am on the desktop. But even if not, I hear it come to the phone and then open the app and there it is. Sending is easy and deleting conversations is easier in this app than on the Web site or phone. I am a very happy user.
8 April 2013
Paid $1.99 and cannot make a single call
8 March 2013
It is made to do what it's suppose to do.... I tip my hat to the developer..
15 September 2013
please make this app free!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
