- (2022-05-27) Ephraim Eischen: If you need to develop your patience, then this app is the one for you! Text Now will give you countless free opportunities to test and to work on your anger issues. From videos not working, to not even being able to send videos, no contact list, not ringing when someone is calling, messages only saved for a short time, man o man! the list goes on and on... and all this anger management therapy for free!

- (2021-05-07) Mr. Johnny Edward Wellons, II The Kid: !I have enjoyed the services and premium suscription while using TextNow!!!
- (2020-07-20) Sadiechu ドキドキ: I got this to help me create a Gmail account (because you usually need to verify it with a phone number by sms) but when I tried, it says the number textnow gave me cannot be used to verify it?!

- (2020-02-03) Jets 18: WILL NOT LET ME DELETE IT FAKE APP
- (2019-12-19) Mahlcolm Timothy: my call keeps getting rejected. i cant make any calls and i really need to use this app right now i have nothing else to use
- (2019-09-26) Robin Ray: I use TextNow on my Android phone, and now, this Chromebook. What can I say? It works. I don't mind the ads. I can get their Unlimited talk and text for $9.99/month, but I rarely talk on the phone so it won't be necessary.
- (2019-06-12) Elizabeth Urbanski: It did not let me go to the next step. commitment down your thought

- (2018-05-24) michael allison: The App. can sometimes be glitchy but other than that it does what it is suppossed to
- (2018-04-06) Mckayla Jade: I think this app is amazing I can't call or text on my computer until now. I just wish there was video calling
- (2018-02-24) Aiden Irizarry: it a fine app
- (2018-01-10) TeenRose Forever: I need this "app" to reach people while in school. My school has textnow blocked therefore making it impossible for me to reach others. There needs to be an app for Chromebooks that is actually an app and not just a redirection tool.
- (2017-12-13) Brendon Starr: It was good, I can text but I can't call. Every time I call, they can't hear me, also, when I'm sending people links to stuff, it doesn't send, it's really annoying. Can you guys try to fix these problems for me?
- (2017-11-11) Frank S: Worked ok to text, make and receive calls,(need to purchase minutes for calls) but is buggy and wants way to many permissions that they don't need. This is a really invasive app that my virus detector app identified as a danger.
- (2017-09-22) Morgan Zimmerman: it is great. it is free. IT WORKS.
- (2017-09-12) Kyle Miller: a great texting app that works on my desktop or phone love it.
- (2017-09-08) Thirty One PILOTS: such an awsome app!!! I'm doing this on my chrome book. So now I can call on my computer!!!
- (2017-08-13) Karl Kulberg: love free
- (2017-07-30) Shannon Ingraham: When I open this app my in-use cookies skyrockets from 28 to between 260-300 cookies! It uses so much memory I really can't do anything else if I have TextNow open, and as a result I just check a couple times per day if I have messages. It also uses so much memory that the program itself drags, and when I type I often have to wait quite a while for my writing to actually appear while it changes ads. Sections of texts get received in the wrong order, which creates misunderstandings (I'll receive the second half of a long text before the first half). My Chromebook has virtually no other apps installed and I keep the history wiped, so everything else I do (including online gaming) runs perfectly smoothly...just not this app.
- (2017-07-25) Claudia Bejarano: it cept crashing. it worked well the first few hrs but it all whent downilll

- (2017-07-10) Jeannette Elwell: GREAT IT WORKS IN GOOGLE CHROME BUT NOT IN WINDOWS10
- (2017-07-08) EclipseMain: I HATE """apps""" like this. If I wanted a shortcut to your website, I'd add a shortcut to my desktop. How about don't be lazy, make an actual Chrome app, and regularly update it? Seriously, 2015? Good lord even the logo (which is basically the only thing this app is) looks old.
- (2017-06-10) Richard Wood: Please fix your textnow on google chrome 49.0.2623.112 don't mess source codes everything was working fine june 7 2017 older mac users 10.6.8 can't updated on mac minis or other macs only adobe flash player we can only update everything was fine may 2017 and june 7 2017 contact developer for textnow fix this for mac os x 10.6.8 users.

- (2017-01-18) Kitzzy Borrero: it wont let me do anything at all!!
- (2017-01-06) very good back up for when no phone service or issues with cell. The app, website are synced and interactive and can use on multiple devices. For the very small inconveniences of wifi, to dropped calls to lag of time on messages, it's truly a great app and worth it.
- (2017-01-03) Lita M: its exhausting
- (2016-12-15) Broken on Linux Chrome. The flash settings box doesn't come up so I cannot ever make calls in the browser.
- (2016-12-03) Yellow Jell-O: I Liked It, I Liked How It Gave Me A Phone Number Right Away. It's A Good Texting Apps For Chromebooks Also. Good Job TextNow!
- (2016-11-24) Robin Marie Potter: just i dont recieve messages wen they reply
