T-Mobile DIGITS for Android
Really like the idea, and the ability to extend my T-Mobile line onto my tablet. Having a few issues though. If the app has been open for a while, any texts I send get stuck in 'Sending...' state forever. I have to close and re-open to get messages successfully sent. Also have had issues with messages sent on my cell phone not appearing in the app on my tablet. In general am happy to have it, but it's not very stable.
While the concept is great, the app is lacking in quality. In any scrolling view, especially those with several pictures it is extremely janky trying to scroll up and down. Also tapping on a message will do nothing and you have to kill the app several times before it works again. Blocking numbers would be convenient as well.
Good concept. Terrible execution. - Too many issues (small, medium and large) to list here. But the bottom line is this - Supplying a personal communication app that sends its data stream unencrypted over the Internet is plain IRRESPONSIBLE and speaks volumes for the quality of the app and the lack of importance that T-Mobile places on it's customers security and privacy. Very scary!!!
Great that I have two lines. Not so great that SMS are replied to both lines, and depending on which reply I reply to it sends back unpredictably. No greater joy than getting multiple notifications for the same incoming message.
I'm disappointed that inbound calls nearly always go to voicemail. This makes the service almost unusable except that text messages and outbound calls seem to work fine. The interface is kludgy, hoping for a better experience soon..
App calls from digits app sometimes and from phones default app others. Does work, but needs work.
I keep activating my other line and every time I go back in and look and it's inactive again. Calls keep come in my phones apps instead of digits.
Updated 12/22/17: the biggest issues we face are. 1. My wife can't tell if the call is digits unless she hears my phone. We tried to fix this issue but the number comes up the same as her personal line. 2. She or I get the call, it rings on one phone, ends then bounces to the other phone. 3. The phone switches or appears to switch to personal from digits.
Due to the recent update calls still make it through even when under "inactive"... ringtone does not work either
Keep getting old alerts. Also, on my phone, I want to run default Android Messages.
If the app would work, then I could leave a real review however it keeps giving me an ERROR!!!!!!!
App had been greatly improved but now getting an error trying to sign in.
Not good clarity. Cuts phone calls short.
This app crashes every time I open it, and this app was the only reason that I chose to go with us T Mobile for the convenience. Back to Verizon I go.
This app let through a text message from a blocked number in my contacts. I did not receive the text on my phone, but did on my tablet through this app.
After installing, my phone log completely disappeared. No history.
Love it but when on Wi-Fi only texting sometimes doesn't work.
Perfect for using other devices to make and receive calls.
Shame on T Mobile
The app is still not fixed. It used to work fine, then all group messages started coming through text goes that had to be or in another app. Well now group messages funny even come through! All other messages and calls do though. Group messaging just needs fixed. I am on version 1.1.28 and still group messaging isn't working.
For me this app has been nothing but useless. It says "Inactive" even after I've tapped the button on multiple occasions. When the slider finally flips to on, messages just hang and never get sent. And don't even try making a call through the app. Complete waste of space.
Can you PLEASE fix the constant connection issues!!! Why is there NEVER a transcript of voicemails? App freezes on nearly every outgoing call. Stop telling us to contact digitstech and fix the freaking issues already!!! Of all the T-Mobile apps this is by far the worst user experience.
Utterly useless! Shows login page as expired even on latest build 1.1.28! Get with it Tmo. Now I can't forward my calls to my Android device.
This application is comically bad. Requires location permission for absolutely no reason. Fails to send and receive text messages about half the time which is seemingly only fixed by restarting the app. Has never been able to load the any of the call lists. Frequently your line will also go inactive, you can try to make it active again but it will most likely give you an error, this is because the service itself is down and typically down for hours at a time. This should honestly be listed as in development.
This app still doesn't work. Sometimes doesn't even let me turn on the line . And still turns off on it's own randomly. Going from 3 stars to 2.. I dislike an app that DOES NOT work. I work for tmobile and having to tell customers that your app doesn't work sucks.
Been waiting for an app from T-mobile similar to IOS that allows Apple devices to sync across all devices. Seems to work nicely. How can you change the ringtone on a tablet? Nothing in the DIGITS settings to allow this? New problem has come up. My contacts did not come over on the account and when I sometimes use the app for phone calls, it keeps defaulting back to the previous call. Even when it is cleared, it redials the previous number. What's up with that?
Has a mind of its own. Chooses when it wants to register and make calls. Also chooses when it decides to successfully send a txt MSG. Also chooses to UN register itself so u miss all calls n texts that day. Completely useless app.
It's almost good enough to enter beta testing. Frequently disconnects, frequently de-registers. In general, it's very unreliable.
I often have problems with it. The line says it is inactive. It is then impossible to turn it back on. I have had the same issue before. I updated this app , it then solved the problem. Except it is happening again. Additionally, you get no notification to say the line is inactive, that is a major downer.. Unless I check, I never know if there is a problem or not. Such a cool app, yet so many problems. My two numbers are with t-mobile.
Was a 4 star app when it came out. Now 1 in 10 texts go through, when I can register. Did a reinstall and now I can't even get the line to turn on. Get the screen to activate the line... after 10 min...then it seems to time out. Tried rebooting phone and reinstalled. Moto G4 plus
Kinda cool but the version on the phone tht it's built into doesn't mirror correctly.. And the app wants my location which I don't like and keeps putting me in inactive.. If you guys need help let me know..
Needs to go back to beta I like the concept of this app yet there are WAY TOO MANY BUGS for comfort. Here's some major issues with the app •if you text on the app on one device it doesn't show on any other device or your phone •if you make a phone call with your number (not the digits) same issues •still don't understand why it's necessary to have location on at all times in order to use the app (Wi-Fi should be enough in order to use it with your digit number or regular number) •doesn't always notify in real time or at all some of the times I LOVE the idea of if I left my phone at home and I have my iPad I can call or text from my regular line yet it's not stable enough to do that or use the digit line solely on it's own *left same review for iPad & iPod as well *Dec 20th 2017 Update everything still remains. No changed*
Worked well for me. Dialed and received calls from my phone on my tablet. I use the tablet more frequently than phone. With this feature, I can be away from my phone and still receive calls.
This app fixes all the problems created by updating android on SGH-I545 on T-Mobile. 10/5
Can't see missed calls, call history and calls don't ring through on pixel 2 XL
Very bad application. It crashes constantly!
I loved it until I updated my lg g6 that was supposed to incorporate digits easier. Now digits doesn't work.
It is slow. And constantly unregistered my numbers.
Okay, this app I is kind of amazing. I never anticipated using my tablet to make phone calls. Huzzah for the uncarrier!

Was generally reliable. Took a star off due to recent updates rendering this app virtually useless. Giving it 2 stars currently, in hope of quick improvements!! UPDATE: IT SEEMS TO BE BACK ON TRACK, yay! I love not having to carry multiple phones...
