May 26th, 2011
This update brings limited iPad support and should take care of the chronic crashing experienced by some.

Sean, what does “limited” iPad support mean? Are there certain features not available in iPad version ?

The add account screen is a bit mucked…still works though.
hi sean
i just downloaded the newest version today and i can ‘t get connection o my gv account i keep getting error” connection porblem invalid response from google (level0). what do i need to do here i tired over 3g and over wifi no luck.. remove and reinstall no luck..
sorry i am using iphone 4 4.4.3 firmware if that help
Hey Sean still no emotions
Sean, perfect app. Loving it. Any possibility of adding additional notification sounds, such as the standard ones on the iPhone? How about different vibration patterns so that I can tell the difference between an email or a google voice text when my phone is silent in my pocket, for example?
keeps crashing and when I go to archive messages any help would be appreciated otherwise great application
I wish there was a way for an old guy like me to keep the iPhone version on the iPad. Everything is too small now.
Hey, if you bought the app of the itunes store, will you be able to update it when the newer versions come out? for free?
You should look into a way to customize themes
first off, thx much for following thru with converting it into a universal app. i’m sure the experience will improve over time, but a pressing bug issue with the iPad version:
dialer is messed up if opened while viewing an sms message; it pops up to take over the whole screen in both portrait and landscape and there’s no way to close it as the icon disappears and there’s no back button. the only way is to close the app and kill it from fast app switching and starting over again.
the dialer works fine at the folder level though… it only goes south when viewing a text message.
otherwise, it works great aside from a couple of dialog pages in settings showing up poorly formatted, specifically when choosing a callback phone with custom app. aside from the formatting issue, it still functions.
as for the iPad UI, once you’re able to get around to it, id like to suggest enlarging the buttons at the 4 corners and consider making the popup folder navigation menu a full time pane on the left while in landscape and portrait mode. however, just for portrait, maybe splitting it horizontally so the upper left is folder navigation, lower left is message previews, while the larger right pane displays the full conversation/voicemail transcriptions indiscriminately.
just some ideas to help make the iPad UI more efficient through future updates. but thanks again for the continued dedication and willingness to incorporate your customers’ ideas.

@AlexK It means there may be some UI elements that could use some iPad loving.
@Critter Yea…this goes back to the limited iPad support.
@kingtut Get it from the App Store
@Paul Working with Google on this…the data feed I’m using from them replaces unicode chars with ?…
@law Apple might not like me using their sounds…I’ll see if I can come up with some others…
@hk Shoot me an email…
@Tom Hmm…Let me see about a font size option…
@Abraham Bankole Yes. Updates are always free.
@Abraham Bankole ROI isn’t there….
@oakie This goes back to the limited iPad support. I didn’t have time to fully covert everything over since there was some crashing issues that came up…look for the next update to fix things.
Sean, let me just say that I have had no problems with the new GV Mobile + since you first brought it out. (Oh, there was that initial weird glitch with the notifications, but once I changed my set up, it has worked flawlessly.) Through all he recent frequent updates, it has always worked like a champ for me. Thank you for one of the most functional and attractive apps on my iPhone.
@Robert1014 Sweet dude. Thanks for your support.
Nice review with regards to this stuff. Thanks so much for sharing this one here; be back for more updates.
Hey Sean I’m getting a level 1 error what’s up what that and is the a fix on your end or is it google
Love the app, getting better all the time. I wish we could have more options with sounds like @kingtut mentioned.
@law
Paul,
Did you buy the app?
Isn’t level 1 when somebody tries to use a cracked version of GV Mobile?
I am having problems with it notifing me, whats the setup for that?
@Paul Paul – This is because your account isn’t setup fully. Go to the Google Voice website on the computer and it will prompt you to add a number to the account. Do this and you’ll be fine.
@jt I’ll try and find more…if you have some, send them my way.
@Windowman Email me – i can help. level 0 is the bad one
I will tonight, thanks
So far GV Mobile does not do anything better than std. GV . I would like to return it and get a refund.
I do not see any refund policy on Sean Kovacs web site.
Jan,
You really need to look at both apps again if you dont see any differences!
@Jan I don’t handle billing…contact the company you bought the app from…
Ok, got mine set up to notify me
and I see how it works at sending pictures, but how does it handle it if someone sends you one?
@Windowman It works the same if the other person is using GV Mobile…doesn’t work if they send via normal cell phone methods (Google Voice limitation).
Sean, can you put in an option to dispay contact pics?
Display
@law I’m not going that route…sorry
Hi Sean, I see that in the app details it says ”Only available in the United States” Well I live in Canada, and so Im guessing i wont be able to make calls to canada. Google voice on the computer lets you call to the US and Canada for free. Will it also work on this app? and if not, will you ever realease a version that will let you call to Canada? Thanks
I have seen some blogs saying that Candian cell phone numbers work, but i dont know if they still work now, i just wanted to ask you before buying this app
@samwest7 My app has always allowed people in the US to call Canada and all international countries using Google Voice…not sure what the problem is…?
Alright cool. And there isnt a problem i just wanted to ask if it does work in canada because in the app details it says only available in the u.s. I’ll be sure to try it out later today when i have the time, thanks a lot
Hi Sean. I bought the app, and i am not able to make calls, I am from Canada, is this why it does not work? The app says i need to use a call forwarding number and things like that and it does not accepte my number, is it because I’m from Canada, If it will not work you could of clarified to me that it wouldn’t work. Thanks
My GV App crashes a lot, that I can’t even open it. I don’t understand what’s going on but it will be nice to have my app up and running, o use this app a lot. Please let me know what’s going to happen. I’m also testing the the new IOS beta.
@Jean Apple advises not to install the beta OS onto a production phone for this reason…it’s unstable. There is nothing wrong with the app.
Hey sean I tried pirating this app and kept getting the level 0 error so after reading through some posts I realized I’d have to purchase the app. So I deleted it and purchased the app and now I am getting a level 3 error. What does this mean?
hey again, you still haven’t answered my question : Will this app work in Canada??
Thanks
Yes, with some extra effort. Google it first so you’re aware of the challenges you face.
alright thanks, so i’ll need to get a us phone right? so theres not really any way that i could use my cell phone or anything correct?
