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.

Thank you for your patience while the update went through the approval process with Apple.

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.

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.

Appreciate your patience.

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
