So the last update really borked Google Voice on my phone to epic proportions. I text a lot and only through GV, both on web and on phone and the last update was horrendous.

This update may have improved on some problems the last update created (or maybe placebo) but it still has syncing issues and lag for me.

Delete them from a pc or from the web log in and they won’t come back. That’s how I clean up my GV text through the pc and I haven’t had that problem. But they really need to work on GV to make it better.

I’ll definitely take it if it fixes the issues introduced with their last update.

After a year we get a minor bugfix? Google has effectively abandoned Voice. It could have been so great. I still use it to save on a texting plan, but it’s not very pretty or functional.

This is all good and well but I still can’t send quick reply using Google Voice. You should STAR this issue to help it get fixed.http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=23176

Kellen, you need to do one of your blog posts on why GVoice is your favorite app of all time. I use it for VM, but haven’t ported my number or anything. What I’m looking for is what makes this your favorite app.. I feel like I’m missing out on something.

the visuals. There are 10 messages from the same person in different places. Things that are deleted still show in my inbox. The pictures of contacts are small and the whole thing “looks” like some sort of internal developer’s build.

A GV update is always welcome for me. Kinda brings me to a question I have…I’ve been having issues the past couple months with ONE contact being marked as spam or blocked MULTIPLE times per day…I have changed the persons number, made a new entry under a different name, made it so GV can’t mark people as spam, ETC to no avail. Just curious is anyone has an idea….tyty

On my razr it got unusable. It looks like a recent update limited it to 500 messages per thread because it was a known issue, but even that is slow as hell. Plus the way it starts new threads is stupid. What they really need to do is publish the API.

Well I would love to see Google do more of an integration of Google Voice and Google Messager/Google Talk to make a real competitor to iMessage. Also I have to agree with others that the layout is pretty bland/basic
