User reviews
I really like the ease of use for this app and appreciate the free cover page. Additionally the pages aren't totally ridiculously priced to prepurchase. You can pay for them with your Google account balance. I've only use it once or twice a year to send pages and have had good experiences each time. I have not subscribed for my own fax number to be able to receive faxes, so I cannot speak to that. If that needs arises, this app will be my go to appt on try first.

I just use the app once I call tomorrow to see if my recipient received the fax then I will rate better but for now il give it 3 stars due to it was a very easy process an the credit was cheat an due to the fact I have reward money through Google play was a plus so talk to ya tomorrow for updates

I was looking for a fax service for my phone. I don't use faxing very often and was little hesitant because there was no description of the cost on the apps page. And they said that the price was very low. When I logged in I saw the price was 99 cents per page, which I thought was a lot, but realized that was still cheaper than many of the other apps I was looking at. I ended up getting 10 pages at $6.99. I like that the credits don't expire.
