• NO CONNECTION FEES: There are no connection fees, you will only be charged for the actual duration of the visit.

GettingOut Visits Positive Reviews
Better wayFrom what I know when I experience dealing with the GTL app do you need all three for the video visit to work in order to use to go visit app, you need all three which is GTL app GO visit app and the Connect app…. The GTL app is for texting video recordings and pictures. The GO visit app is for video calls. The Connect app is to put money on inmates account. You also have to set up your alerts and notifications to receive your Video call… the issue that I have with this app is the notification. It should have a ringtone, a louder alert…. because I miss my calls all the time. It’s best for the inmate to text message and let you know that they are about to do a video call and to look out for it…..TwataCakesVersion: 3.0
Wish it would work properly, PLEASE FIX!The app just drops the ball, often! Messages get stuck pending for long periods. By the time they go through, they are moot. So you spend money to communicate but can’t effectively. I can’t take photos at family functions to send at a later date. The app won’t let me send them from saved photos. Can only send if it’s taken at the moment and sent. This is very frustrating. This app is our only choice and I feel they are kind of a scam. Do I use it! Of course! I want to be able to communicate with my loved one, even if it is sporadic at times..LaztchanzVersion: 3.3
It’s okMy only issue with this app is that it doesn’t notify you when you’re receiving a video call, it shows up as a notification but doesn’t have any sound which makes it really easy to miss a call. Just make sure you text the person beforehand and know you’re gonna receive a video call at a certain time. Also it doesn’t allow you to schedule video calls which it has the option but it doesn’t work at all, kinda misleading but whatever.SlimesiitaVersion: 4.0
I understand it is a delicate situationI rate it with 5 stars even though it cost me a bit having to upload documents, having to answer forms. At the end of the day I was able to talk to my best friend, he is an immigrant and he has never done anything wrong. But we must understand the importance of communicating with an inmate, not all conditions are equal.AutosanthanaVersion: 3.0

GettingOut Visits Negative Reviews
This is the WORST APP EVER!This app is actually terrible! If you have a loved one in a bad situation, the LAST thing you need is an app that doesn’t function at all! (I can’t even say “properly” it just doesn’t function!!!! I actually deposited money so I can have a virtual visit and it keeps sending me in circles! I had to go on my laptop and even the website is jenky! I am so frustrated, and I FINALLY was able to send a message, (4th attempt!) and I had to do it through my laptop, and still had to jump through hoops to get it to send- seriously people, do the work and get this app running correctly- I literally feel like my money that I deposited was stolen, since it promised me that I can schedule an online visit, but there is ABSOLUTELY NO WAY to schedule one, and it says that the facility does allow it- so sad- please do better- very disappointing-.VioletnivyVersion: 4.2
Horrible AppThis is something that we have to pay as family to use to talk to our loved ones while they’re incarcerated. You have an allotted time of 30 minutes for most calls, but that’s never actually the length of the call. You only end up getting to talk for 25 minutes give or take a minute or two, which I would say isn’t a big deal, but considering how much it cost just to make the call just those couple of minutes makes a difference. What also makes this app absolutely horrible is the fact that it never works. It is constantly going down, users are unable to login, users are not able to add funds. You get through all of that and then you get to the video and either the video itself or the audio does not work so then you have to hang up and try all over again only to be told most of the time that you already have a visit scheduled so you can’t call back. For people in situations like myself where the only time we can talk is right at the end of the day it is extremely unfortunate and has led to very many missed conversations. What has also led to missed conversations is the fact that you don’t actually get notified when your loved one is trying to call you like you’re supposed to. For a service that costs as much as it does, you would think that it would run a little bit more efficiently. But no, there are always problems and they are only getting worse..Kylacheyenne1997Version: 3.3
READ THIS FOR HELPHave you tried to make a payment? Does it keep glitching whenever you try to make a payment? OK well I have some information here. The way you’re able to successfully make a payment/deposit to get FaceTime calls from an inmate is doing it on a computer an actual like laptop. When you go to the getting out website, do not login. hit the option to “continue as guest”… Now answer all of the questions and it’ll actually go to the payment option and it will successfully let you put in your billing information etc. and submit a deposit. I’ve read all of the reviews and I had not been able to be successful in making a payment using their app, but if you go to the “getting out” website on an actual laptop, computer and continue as guest, it’s like if you’re setting up a whole other account but you’re not. You’re continuing as guest and you’ve already registered and verified your phone number- do the family and friends option to make a deposit and you’ll be able to successfully make a deposit payment… Hope it works! another thing too is you actually never get the app to open up the FaceTime calls. It uses the Safari or Internet browser on your phone..Jennmc<3Version: 3.0
DisappointmentThis app is just that. If you’d like to waste your time downloading yet Another GTL app just to take up space on your phone, steal your money, have customer service give you the run around (IF you reach them) and never even let you schedule a visit, but yet bother you with 100 error messages a day, baby this is the App for you. I however don’t like to pay for disappointment so this is a no for me. This company has had multiple lawsuits filed against them, for stealing peoples money and for charging more than the fixed rates they are supposed to charge based on state regulations. I highly suggest you look into this a little more, check BBB ratings and reviews for all 3 apps. Basically all 3 apps are platforms to prey on the already vulnerable (and what better people to do it to? They can’t contact a lawyer or call customer service etc) they take advantage of loved ones want no to connect with each other, and that to me, is as low as it gets. I’ve had $135 stolen from me from this company, if they tell you they’ll give you a refund they’ll ask you for this document and that document, be sure to get All the details, because when you call back in with those requested items, they’ll ask for more things, they’ll keep doing this until it’s past the time you’re able to get a refund. Scammers at their finest. Probably one of the greatest American scams in the 21st century. Kudos to them for that, at least they managed to make something about these apps functional. I’m not typically one to leave a bad review, but in this instance I’m Happy to. People should reach out to wardens and make them aware of the issues with this company, eventually they switch providers or come to some sort of resolution. Best of luck to you and your families communicating with this junk..PixiePie16Version: 3.3
Needs workThe app for the most part hasn’t been too much if an issue besides the fact that when a incoming video call us coming through. If you’re not staring at your devices every second of the day you will not get any type of alert sound wise s call is being made to you. Also, if you want to add money it will continue to loop back to you choosing to either adding to particular inmate tablet or to the family and friends account. You will never be able to get it to make a payment. You will have to go to the website outside of the app and confines as a guest and can actually make a payment which is ridiculous but luckily using your credentials will add to your account even though you make your transaction as a guest. It will be better if they add a notification sound and fix the glitch with making a payment through the app instead of the website and doing it as a guest and not signing into your account.ChocolateDrop83Version: 3.3
Very unreliable and complicatedThis is one of the worst apps I’ve ever used. I almost never leave app reviews but I have to speak up on this one. You have to make deposits to be able to communicate, and when you go to the deposit screen, it won’t allow you to make a deposit. It flashes out of the screen both on the app and on the website. It’s like they’re actively trying to disconnect inmates from their loved ones. I’m not sure how this works from the inside or who teaches people how to use it. It is NOT intuitive. Complicated to figure out how to get from place to place within the app. Separate apps for messaging versus phone and video. For somebody who is in jail for the first time, I have no idea how they know where to start with this. As a family member on the outside with somebody on the inside for the first time, it’s very discouraging. It’s almost criminal that jail systems allow this to be the only communication method with people incarcerated..SaholmesswVersion: 4.0
Atrocious app.Big problems with the video call feature; the inmate tried to call me today four times. But there is a glitch, and he can’t see me or sometimes, just couldn’t hear me. He’s only allowed to video call sometimes, and our schedules can be hard to align so when he calls, it has to work. You charge people a lot per minute, and add on Service fees every time you purchase more calling time. And then the feature doesn’t work. This app is an atrocity. It’s grounds for a lawsuit. It’s a violation of the inmates state given right/privelege to communicate. It is literally torture trying to use this feature and do business with this company. Repulsive. Disgusting! These people video call their families, their children, their spouses, their friends, to relieve their depression and then they can’t video talk! While in an ICE detention facility. That’s torture. Shame on all of you who are responsible for maintaining the functionality of this app!.Daniel77884422Version: 4.2
Too many issuesThe app is not great I can’t even do a video visit with my love one my understanding is the inmate has to initiate the video visit and when he sends a request he is sending it to a email that I am not using to use the app. He talked with the gtl rep there in the prison and he’s being told that I have 3 accounts with connect network and I need to call in and ask them to merge my accounts this sounds crazy! What’s the problem with just using the email that I set up the app that’s the only that matters! I’m frustrated he’s frustrated that we can’t even do a video visit!.Net6688Version: 3.0
Expensive and glitchyWe have had calls with zero video & no refund. We also have more than half the time out scheduled visit time has an "error" and kicks us out and we have to reschedule for hours later. It says his facility does out bound on demand calls but on my end it tells me to make sure i download and sign into the app- from inside the app. it also wont let me make deposits to the video from within that app, i have to go do it from the getting out messaging app- its annoying. the gtl messages are 50 cents per message of only 1500 characters and often i have to message so he calls or so he sees the video status- its all frustrating - we spend more time setting them up, having the system glitch and paying for ones that dont go thru than getting to chat sadly.GinzyBeeVersion: 4.2
Frustration with Ongoing Deposit IssuesI’ve been using this app for about three months, and unfortunately, I have yet to have a good experience. Every time I try to make a deposit on the app, I get an “unexpected error” message and I’m forced to call customer service. Not only is this frustrating, but I’m also charged a $5 support fee just for making the deposit over the phone—plus additional taxes on top of that. When the deposit does finally go through, it shows less money on my account than I originally put in. It’s unclear where the missing funds go, and there’s no clear breakdown of the fees or charges when calling customer service. it’s unfair to get charged extra fees for depositing over the phone when the you’re unable to deposit it over the app and website….Tinydan21Version: 4.0
Terrible appIt’s an app that preys on people just trying to communicate with their loved ones. People have this idea we should be grateful to even be able to communicate with them. But this is a basic need, imagine just wanting to check in on someone and constantly being flooded with glitchy service. This app is constantly having issues and there is no one to help. You can try to get through to customer service but you’ll be met with a 30 min wait time and no help regardless. They will just tell you to wait until it’s resolved because no one cares. Just like the entire justice system, you have to fight for the most basic of things. I hope the app developers start to actually listen to the thousands of comments stating how bad it is. Like how can yall not do anything!.It sucks!!!!!!!!!!!Version: 4.2
Too Many IssuesI know they say they have fixed the bugs, but I’m here to tell you, That is a lie. From time the time the app will glitch and tell you that the person, your family member, is not on your friends list, and then when you add them back, it tells you that they already are on your friends list. But the notification does not disappear. It stays on the top of the screen. In addition to that the partner app, which allows you to FaceTime your family will freeze or disconnect at random moments, without even telling you anything. And if you do not have enough. For the full 30 minute video. It does not countdown the time, so your video just ends abruptly. I really need GTL and whoever creates their apps to get the situations fixed immediately!.VictoriousTinkerbellVersion: 4.2
Just sadI hate this app so bad. When my husband tries to do a video visit with me one minute we can do a video visit then the next thing I know I can’t even accept his video visit it only gives me the option to decline the visit. I called Customer service they told me to uninstall the app, wait 30 minutes, reinstall it and it should work. WRONG ever since I did that now it doesn’t even show my husband calling me on video I tried everything and nothing is working. I called customer service and all they keep telling me is they are going to escalate the situation to get it fixed and it’s STILL not fixed it’s been THREE FREAKING MONTHS AND NOTHING IS GETTING FIXED NOW I CANT EVEN HAVE A VIDEO VISIT WITH MY HUSBAND BECAUSE OF THIS RAGGEDY APP SMH I WISH WE COULD GO BACK TO JPAY AT LEAST IF WE PAY FOR THE VISIT WE GET OUT MONEY BACK AND THEY ACTUALLY FIX IT..Kayb429Version: 4.2
Both Apps are REALLY Hard to Use and They won’t Take my Money!This is one of the most difficult apps to use. Both Getting Out and the Video Visiting app. It won’t let me add money. I’ve tried on my computer and my app and I’ll select the correct option only to be directed back to the main page. And around and around and around it goes. Don’t they want my money?!? It stinks because this is the only way I can message and voice call my friend. If you need to use it, be ready to be frustrated. Oh! I forgot the best part (that is dripping with sarcasm) the help line is some bogus line that keeps trying to give me a free Life Alert. I’m in my 30’s I DON’T WANT ONE. If whoever is in charge of this app should read this, please just help me talk with my friend. Please just take my money!!!.Lorri33Version: 4.0
App is trashThis app is trash half the time you can not hear your loved one and they can’t hear you you can just look at each other the other half it’s running a error message and can’t even access the app then you have to wait for your loved one to start a visit instead of being able to set one up the audio when you finally do get a good connection is trash people pay a lot of money in order to use these services to keep in contact with there loved ones you should really try and work on better this app sense you all are quck to take peoples money for picture message that don’t go through and or excitement killer after waiting for a long time to visit your loved one and can’t due to audio issues GARBAGE.Miss 101984Version: 3.0
Worse app !!!This app does not give you a way to visit at all. It continuously just refreshes once you try to schedule a visit. It takes multiple times to get verified and even after you get verified, you still cannot do a phone visit. I have not spoken to anyone using this app that has anything good to say or that has had a video visit at all Through this app and I believe that this app is chosen to work that way for people who are detained so there is very limited communication. I’ve also made multiple deposits that have not posted to the tablet account. It’s just one problem after another and every time I call the one 800 number I’m on hold for long periods of time and get absolutely nowhere.Customers 1201Version: 4.0
IssuesThe app would not work for me in that it doesn’t show the funds I put on it nor will it let me call the inmate that I put the funds for. She has tried to call me numerous times and I’m unable to answer her calls despite having funds on her account for her to call me. I’ve called support and they made sure that the funds registered properly. So far the only contact I have is that she tries calling immediately after I try calling her and vice versa. What a way to communicate! You’d think the people monitoring the system would be able to see what is going on and fix the problems. I’m going to try calling support again today to see if they can fix this issue but I think it’s the app 😮.Natures best designVersion: 3.0
0 stars it makes u select a star but its 0Terrible Terrible Terrible… Never works - can never add money just circles you around and around, freezes n goes white constantly- have to delete n re add it repeatedly - never can actually do ANYTHING once in the app - have tried it on a computer and phone - have the same problems over n over- letting my loved one know im not using this anymore - we’ll have to find another way to communicate. You also have to download multiple apps for every single thing, calls, visits , commissary!! Its ridiculous and i have the same issues on those too. It works when it wants and your not getting your money back if it doesnt work. So its a daily gamble.Kyesha20Version: 3.0
Terrible appAs much money as people pay to put on the phones and video there loved one I don’t understand why this app has so many problems. Inmates aren’t getting the calls or aren’t able to answer calls and a lot of missed communication is going on but you guys are draining people pockets left and right. When are you going to fix the issue? Not to mention y’all need to start compensating people for they’re in convience- I mean something should happen. Yall should grant people more time or a free video visit or something . This is ridiculous. Any app that connects to communicating with my loved one is messed up. Text behind app for mail- terrible, gtl - terrible , and gtl video visits- terrible. Do better ..11builderVersion: 3.3
Don’t put money on this app rip offThey don’t tell you, but if you want to text or video call or send pictures you have to pay for the inmate to have money on their side and you have to pay for yourself to have money on your side so when they say $.25 a minute that’s for you and $.25 a minute for the inmate so for the same phone call you have to pay double because how else is the inmate going to get money the whole reason you’re putting money on here to talk to the inmate is because we’re the ones with the money this is a total scam. Ask for money back said 4 to 6 weeks. I asked him to transfer for my phone calls or transfer it to half to him. They won’t do neither..SaittafpvVersion: 4.2
Non FunctionalThis app is not just broken—it’s completely useless and honestly inconsiderate. This is supposed to be the only way people can connect with their loved ones, and it still can’t handle something as basic as making a deposit. Every time I try, it glitches and throws me right back to the home screen like nothing happened. No explanation, no fix—just wasted time and frustration. When an app is this important, there’s no excuse for it to work this poorly. People rely on this to stay connected, and instead it just makes an already stressful situation even worse. Really need to do better—because right now, this app is failing the people who need it most..ComonCoVersion: 4.2
Horrible appI have money on my account and I’m also registered but some reason when my bf tries to video chat it doesn’t work for me. It goes through like it’s going to connect but then I get this message “Sorry there was an issue with your visit. To please call customer service. I emailed them, called them and they can’t fix anything. I sent them a screenshot of the error message I was getting and they still can’t help me fix it. He’s able to video chat with anyone else but not me. I have a iPhone 15 so I don’t know what’s going. Customer service said my phone number n everything was verified as well and I have enough money on my account. Yall need to fix this.Silla marieVersion: 3.3
Money grabLike almost every other review, this app and company is terrible and doesn’t care about you or your loved one that you are trying to call. The video feature does not work, when you go in the app to select your contact to call it literally has a message telling you to download the app… from inside the app. I call customer service and they said they “submitted a ticket” never calling or emailing me to tell me when it was done and the results were that there was no problem found. It’s amoral to hold access like this over people’s head while charging them to see the people they love, I hope this company gets what it deserves..BsffrnVersion: 4.2
PointlessThere is absolutely no point for this app. It does not work. When I found out about the app and that my children’s father would be able to use it and video chat with our children it gave me a sense of relief and they’d at least be able to message with him and see him. But come to find out it doesn’t even work so as I stated there is no point. Right now it’s just taking up space on my phone. I think it’s a great idea and concept of it would work. Also it’s a bit ridiculous that you have to have 3 different apps one for messaging, one for video visits and one for adding money to there books. Couldn’t it all be combined into one?.BdrygdeVersion: 3.0
DO NOT USE!!!This app is HORRIBLE. They stole my money and are not refunding it. The app says to call a number that gives you options that end up repeating no matter which selection you make. The voicemail option is ‘not available’ and the speak to a customer service representative sends you back to the main menu. I emailed and received a reply telling me to call the number! What a JOKE! Also the login does not work- it keeps telling me me my password is wrong and to reset it-to no avail! Keeps doing that over and over. Funny how it was able to allow me to put money on it in the first place! Please take my warning and DO NOT USE this app. It is a scam!!.Biloxi15Version: 4.0
Grateful but aggravatingI’m very grateful for this apps to be able to stay in touch with my loved one, but man, can we get this stuff updated? I feel like it’s very old school, and they don’t really care to fix it. But when we are trying to talk and have a conversation, it should not be in and out and notifications shouldn’t be silent. I’ve missed so many opportunities to talk because I’ll get a notification, but if I’m not looking at my phone at that exact time, I wouldn’t know a thing. It’s Frisian’s disheartening.Unhappy Influencer UserVersion: 4.0
Horrible appThis app is the biggest money pit I’ve seen so far they charge you for time on a call that glitches constantly. Their customer service says that they’re going to refund you. I never does the free calls that you’re supposed to get when you make a deposit end up glitching out within one minute into the call so. that waste you’re so-called free call it’s ridiculous. There should be some way of holding them accountable for stealing your money especially praying on people that want to talk to their loved ones that they can’t otherwise see or reach it’s ridiculous. They should be held accountable..PyeNDSky80Version: 4.2
To many wrongsThis the first review I ever wrote, the app it’s a waste of time to even try to get it to work, it has more security then your average bank and the customer service is non-existent. Goodluck even talking to your friend or loved one when the whole system they have is messed up all the way from step one. I done entered my SS number, my phone number, had them call my phone number and verify it, my birthday, a photo of the front and back of my ID and a verification for the ID whatever that even means and it still not working saying contact customer service which they do not have so don’t waste your time on it..BlueNlGVersion: 3.0
Least user-friendly app I’ve ever usedI don’t think I’ve ever used an app that is less user-friendly than this mess. Keeps telling me that my credit card information is missing something, but doesn’t highlight where and I know my own address, have the credit card sitting right in front of me and it absolutely is right. The website no matter where you click just takes you in circles and circles and you get nowhere. I can’t believe someone actually got paid for this app. Whoever is running it that team needs to find something else to do with a career because this ain’t it.Kayakgirl76Version: 4.0
Worst serviceI have been using this app for a while now, I pay a lot of money to see my husband. It hasn’t been working properly and when it does work it’s blurry and also cuts in and out. We need an app that if we are going to be putting a lot of money to see our loved ones that it works. I understand they are in prison but we don’t have to suffer as well. We didn’t do the crime and if I want to talk to my husband and pay thousands of dollars a month just to talk to my husband I expect this app to be better with the service they are claiming they provide. Please fix the problem ASAP.CrissychristinaVersion: 3.0
DOES NOT WORK !YOU WONT BE ABLE TO VIDEO VISIT. After waiting 20mins on hold to speak to a rep about my connectivity issues, they informed me my phone number wasn’t authorized then they “authorized it” and it should work and it’s still not working. I have money in the account and it still won’t let me video visit my contact. Everytime I click on my contact to visit it kicks me back to selecting a contact and doesn’t go past that. This app is useless. Does not work. Really upset I deposited more money into my account just for it not to work. The only plus side is that I can use it on the messaging part..AnyssabooVersion: 3.0
Poor service with lack of optionApparently, the platform has too many issues at the facility with dropped calls and blackouts during call hours. And the sad part is not just that one facility but the whole network across all facilities. Leaves much to be desired with no other alternatives. As a business, it’s pretty pathetic. But it’s not like we have a choice because otherwise they would’ve gone under. As a matter of principle if I had a say so, I would’ve done something about it, especially if you’re charging for a service that you’re not providing..Grayson K. RiversVersion: 4.0
Annoying & frustratingGTL seriously needs to step their game up because both this app along with their other app ‘GTLGettingOut’ there is always something not working or some error. Seems like I’m not the only one who’s had trouble making a deposit. Every single time I attempt to make a deposit onto the ‘Trust Fund’ account or even the ‘Friends & Family’ account it automatically exits me out. Luckily I was able to call the hotline to put money into the AdvancePay phone account. With so many complaints & issues you’d think this issue would’ve been fixed by now..DollyluxxVersion: 3.3
1 Star – A Complete Scam Preying on Inmate FamiliesThe GTL app is a disgrace. It’s essentially a scam designed to take money from the families of inmates while delivering little to no real service. The so-called “Sing Mail” barely works, and text or video communication is constantly down or glitchy. You load funds expecting to stay connected to your loved one, but instead, you get error messages, dropped calls, and zero support. This isn’t just poor service — it feels like theft. GTL should be investigated for fraud and exploitation. They profit off vulnerable families and offer nothing in return. Stay away from this app if you can..Carlos702Version: 4.0
Worst App EverThis app allowed me to set up an account. The first initial deposit went through no problem. After that it was all downhill and bad. The app glitches, you can’t deposit anymore, if you get lucky and get through to deposit it declines your valid payment method. Customer service is no help when you call the number suggested. Very frustrating when their advise still didn’t work and I have a loved one sitting and waiting, hoping something comes through. If I could give it less than one star, that would be an accurate rating..Chef bohoVersion: 3.0
No Alerts!!This is so freaking annoying being that this is not a free service. We can’t even get an alert to let us know our loved one is calling via video chat!!! It’s almost like they’re inmates and only get the bare minimum of everything. Yes some deserve as such, but many prisoners are in there for non violent charges and have yet to even be convicted. Fix this it’s ridiculous. Also adding money to your account, not theirs so that you can message them ( friends and family) is so complicated and hard to navigate. While I believe you do the crime, you do the time.Ambit failVersion: 3.3
TrashThis app wouldn’t accept my password, which was the correct password until my third attempt and then I had to re-verify so I called customer service, which was of no help. They told me they would send me a link through my email so that I can quickly get verified never received the email this company is garbage and they don’t care about you speaking to your loved ones. They just want your money. I guess they feel like the people locked away are all criminals and they don’t matter and neither does their family. This app is garbage..Rich💃🏾Version: 4.2
Bad qualityEvery visit I have with my loved one the camera is out of focus and then constantly goes to a screen that says he moved the tablet to a prohibited area when the tablet is on a doc and doesn’t get moved and we can’t see each other for most of the visit which is just the same as a phone call and a waste of my money. PLEASE FIX!! for some people this app is the only way to ever see there loved one again in life and being able to see the whole time and talk is a blessing to those not incarcerated as well as the inmates..Hawkandsarah123Version: 3.0
Terrible. Y’all are thievesThis app is horrendous! We have to pay to use this garbage. And god forbid if you have to contact customer service I waited over an hour and still no one! And then when I waited 3 hours they said oh it’s doing a major update and we can’t do anything! Are you kidding me? I have been trying to deposit money to talk to my loved one and nothing it won’t let me deposit anything bc of a “update” it’s been days!! Are you kidding me? This is for inmates yet the designer who coded this garbage should seriously face their own consequences..NikbalsVersion: 4.0
Irritating!Only reason there is a star is because you “HAVE” to rate 1as the least! It works on the very first initial registration part, but I agree about the notification part! Why even have that option?! It’s frustrating that they even work with this poorly made app! Visits are dropping constantly ! None of these apps work! It’s poorly made and it’s gone on this way for such a long time! You’d of thought many of the problems would be addressed by now and they haven’t! Why is this the only choice ?!.Jujubeme916erVersion: 4.0
Functions like an App from the 90’sThis whole line of apps is aggravating and useless when you can actually figure out how to navigate it. Usually just bounces the user back and forth from the landing page to the choose contact page and no phone number evident. My son hasn’t been able to visit his two year old daughter for two months. She’s reacting to that in worrisome ways and it’s sad that something so simple has such a profound affect on so many for so long with nothing to improve upon it.Barton worseVersion: 4.0
TERRIBLE!!!!!!The app is TERRIBLE GTL get it together… visit it’s not the entire screen you only get a egg bubble that just shows your face if you turn your head or put anything in the camera it cuts off.. your customer service is TERRIBLE they tell you what you already know and no help what do ever very pricey for the quality of it it’s not worth it you guys get with connect network there videos are very clear the price is Amazing.. you can schedule your own visits you guys app is still in the 90s please upgrade immediately.THIS THING IS TERRIBLE!!!Version: 4.2
Way to price gouge peoples families when they’re already dealing with loved ones locked up!It’s awful. Every time I try to visit now it asks me what relationship I am to the inmate and still doesn’t work after I answer the question. Even if you fix that there’s always an issue on one side or the other. The concept is great and it helps when you’re locked up to have another form of contact but this company price gouges and doesn’t even give a quality service for how much they charge..DanTheMan707Version: 4.2
Poorly made appTerrible application to use to try and get in touch with a family member. Unfortunately it’s the only way because they are in bed with core civic to pump the max profit and give a poor product. Crashes very often and have to re log in almost every time I open the app. Can’t quickly answer a call from a family member because it crashes and makes you re log in all over again meanwhile their call ends and you’re not able to answer in time..Mkx101990Version: 3.3
Poor serverI hate this app, I have to delete the app and reinstall it often,all because it won’t let me make a deposit it’ll say loading and go back to the screen that I was originally on. I have missed so many visits with my son because I can’t deposit money on my account. I’m about to try it again now because I deleted the app and I’m reinstalling it again, I don’t have a laptop so maybe if I did it’ll work better like everyone was saying but I only have my cell phone. It is what it is..Nini.💕Version: 3.2
I hate this app!If there was a way to give 0 stars I would. For this to be an app that is needed to talk to your loved ones it needs to be made to a better quality. I am signed out of the account ALL of the time so almost every time I try to use the app I have to log in. And the quality of the app is horrible. It crashes all the time and is overall just a horrible app. If I did have to use it to talk to my husband I wouldn’t but it’s the only option the jail he is in has..77sladyVersion: 4.0

An extremely poor app that rarely worksUnfortunately its also potentially the only app you can use if your loved one is in a facility that Telmate holds the contract for. I have experienced nothing but problems. Scheduled meetings rarely work out with errors, time conflicts even though there are none, no kiosks available even though the scheduled meeting has been accepted. On and On. Very frustrating to have weeks go by and not be able to visit with constant errors. Not just on mobile devices like iPad but also on the PC based version. In the day and age of FaceTime, zoom, messenger, WhatsApp etc this service is so poor its barely conceivable. Telmate get your act together these incarcerated people rely on some hope from the outside world..El Presidente7Version: 1.5
