I started GV Mobile back in 2009 when the iPhone and my knowledge of the language was in its infancy. It was the first full-fledged Google Voice client on the App Store (2nd dialer next to GrandDialer).

Fast forward past the Google/Apple/AT&T drama and the year in Cydia, I launched GV Mobile + (aka v2.0). This was the first version to bring native Push Notifications, first to bring picture messaging, and the first and only to do SMS grouping.

I recently announced GV Mobile + v3.0 will launch this summer. In tow, an amazing new interface, hardened feature set, and more importantly, VoIP calling. This will be the only full-fledged Google Voice client that brings all these amazing features into one app; the most powerful and visually appealing Google Voice app to date. I will need an army of testers who truly care about the final product to ensure the app is the absolute best it can be.

An update is available on the App Store which resolves the inability to use the app (Error Level 3 and associated problems). Thank you for your patience while the update went through the approval process with Apple.

There seems to be a server related issue isolated in the north east part of the country. I’m trying to get in contact with Google to get some resolution. The good news is the app isn’t necessarily broken… In the meantime please use the official Google Voice app. I will join you in misery of using it.
I appreciate your patience!

Update: And it’s propagating elsewhere.

Update 2: A recent change to the Google Voice API that GV Mobile + uses is currently causing the app to not function properly. Within hours of feedback from our loyal customers, an update was submitted to Apple for resolution. We appreciate your patience while we resolve this. In the time being, please feel free to use Google’s own application.

Update 3: The madness never ends. Google made some API endpoint changes today, which started effecting users around 6PM EST, but it appears they have reverted them, hopefully for good. So crisis adverted – the app should work now. I have no clue if this will happen again. Sorry folks.

Update 4: Google reverted changes last time because of an error. They have fixed said error and applied the changes that created this mess a couple weeks ago. An update was submitted to Apple to resolve the issues. Sorry for the downtime.

This update should resolve instability.
There is a slight chance you’ll get a crash upon first start – you’ll need to reboot your phone and/or delete the app and re-install from the App Store.

GV Mobile v3.0 is on track with a fresh look, added features (voip calling via gmail/google voice), etc. It’s a couple months away.

This update should take care of most issues. Appreciate your patience.

This update brings iPhone 5 support and better iOS6 compatibility.

UPDATE: Pretty crappy release to be honest. An update should hit today (10/2) which should fix the following:

• Crash on startup for iOS6 users (work around is to enable GV Mobile + access to your Contacts via iOS Settings>Privacy)
• Inability to use the app on iOS5 or below – app opens, but nothing really works

Changes include:
+Emoji support
+Ability to email sms/voicemails
+iPad compatibility improvements
+Minor bug fixes

This update fixes some aesthetic issues on the iPad and adds a Help and About section.
The next version will finally add support for Emoji and foreign characters!

I changed the networking bits to something more modern (bye bye ASI, hello AF). This should resolve any outstanding dialing and sms sending issues.

This update fixes the problem with dialing and sending SMS to multiple recipients. Enjoy.
