Pretty decent App to stay in contact with your Incacerated loved ones. Sometimes there are significant delays when receiving messages which cause issues. But overall it's constantly improving and it's convenient. I think there are too many fees for every single transaction Securus makes $ 3.95 I have 2 loved ones incarcerated so you can imagine how much in fees I'm paying!!! Whatever...

Constantly Frustrating Advance connect is constantly failing to deliver calls and I've spent hours on hold to get tickets put in to fix the routing issues on Securus' end. Sometimes the issues are restored briefly only to fail again. I've also sent email requests in. Now the app won't even open for me to see the last attempted call each day when calls don't come through because of issues with Securus. This is very frustrating and needs to be resolved please!!

I don't understand why it doesn't notify for incoming messages. And a year later.... let me add the fact that I know the prisons guidelines for incoming photos. I'm careful about not sending in what's not allowed. Yet, at least half the photos I've sent, the recipient didn't get. And I don't get notified anything, any explanation why that's happened. Those estamps cost ain't free! I know the problem lies within the facility, but this app should make the prisons live up to certain criteria.
