  1. [R2] FAX for iPhone 5/5 · US Re: Fax for iphone: The best efax. Been using for years and no problem at all. It's efficient and I get the reports emailed to me every time. I can scan, take photos of docs and fax and it also gives the option of a cover page. Just Brilliant!! The price is reasonable per week for unlimited faxes.Cost me less than in the stores.
  2. [R8] FAX for iPhone 5/5 · US Great, easy and super economical: I had this app before about two years ago. It was perfect for my low volume needs. It was the most economical out there for my Apple Pay. Quick and easy set up, enter the number, snap the pic, choose grey scale or b & w. SEND! It loads it into its queue and after successful delivery, it provides a receipt.
  3. [R11] FAX for iPhone 4/5 · US Seems to work- thanks!: Why can’t I submit a NEW Coer sheet? On my 1st Cover Sheet was re a different provider- with a message for that provider- I need a NEW Cover Sheet for another provider! WHY can’t I create another Cover Sheet with a different message? This is NOT GOOD!!!
  4. [R12] FAX for iPhone 3/5 · US Works great…but be aware: I purchased this app for yearly unlimited faxing but then realized I had to pay again for receiving a fax number for receiving faxes. I thought the yearly unlimited rate was for both. I advise to read all details before purchasing. It would have been better if it was more clear in the description. Oh well!
  5. [R1] FAX for iPhone 1/5 · US Not working: Couldn’t get a payment option
  6. [R6] FAX for iPhone 3/5 · US Great App: It is now 2025 and I am revising a bad review. In 2019 I had a major issue and they were able to fix it immediately. It literally saved me 1,000’s of dollars. In 2024 no one responded to a complaint that I sent MULTIPLE times regarding the app not working properly. Worst part is that I had at least six months left of my annual unlimited subscription that I paid for and I did not get
  7. [R20] FAX for iPhone 5/5 · US Awesome App: This app is extremely high quality, sleek designed and insanely easy to use. I love the professional screen layouts that are concise & straightforward. I highly recommended it as you will not be disappointed.
  8. [R4] FAX for iPhone 1/5 · US Sending: Takes for ever and then drops calls. So disappointing
  9. [R7] FAX for iPhone 1/5 · US Don’t count on keeping your fax number: My fax number stopped working in three days. It started giving a busy signal, which is ridiculous because it’s my reserved number. I downloaded this app because I wanted to receive faxes. It is not reliable for that purpose. If you need a reliable fax number, skip this app. Don’t waste money printing the phone number on forms because the number will stop wor
  10. [R3] FAX for iPhone 3/5 · US Not good for a single fax: I only need to send one fax. Only options to sign up for a week at $6.99. Seems a bit much for one fax. Looks like a good app otherwise. Just dose’t meet my needs and there was no indication until after it was installed.
  11. [R9] FAX for iPhone 3/5 · US Has been good, but needs updating: That says it all. It’s outdated, and has some bugs with newer devices. I submitted an issue to support. We’ll see what happens. I’ve never needed it, and have used this app for years. But, if no one supports this app anymore, then they’re just collecting money from subscriptions, and that’s it.
  12. [R16] FAX for iPhone 1/5 · US Wouldn’t work: Trying to fax mortgage info to bank. Neither number worked. After 1 hour in Queuing it said the number hung up. Emailed support. Never got a reply. Not sure what the $9 subscriptions for other than to fleece money.
  13. [R28] FAX for iPhone 1/5 · US Business: Didn’t receive fax and no way to contact Fax Pro company.
  14. [R53] FAX for iPhone 5/5 · US Moments to make a Quick Fax: The transition of sharing an email attachment via FAX for iPhone and IPad was quick and easy. I am elated in choosing this app. It cost less than $7.00 to send that one fax of three pages plus a cover page and I can send many more faxes within that one week for no additional price.
  15. [R66] Fax From iPhone 3/5 · US Watch video: I had to watch videos in order to send more than 3 pages
  16. [R68] Fax From iPhone 5/5 · US Great App: The app was easy to use. Thankful it was free as I only fax things once a year if that.
  17. [R18] FAX for iPhone 3/5 · US Pricing: so, I signed up for this service thinking it was an all in pricing turns out there are two different prices you pay for this fax service. 1 for outgoing faxes and 1 for a fax number to receive faxes. So, if you want unlimited faxing and fax receiving you are paying close to $200 a year. I will be looking for a better solution.
  18. [R19] FAX for iPhone 1/5 · US Worst fax app I’ve used.: Glad I am paying for a monthly subscription only to login weekly and find out I need to pick a new number EVERY TIME! That is a real time saver for when you are expecting important documents. Great app.
  19. [R30] FAX for iPhone 1/5 · US Stay far away from this app: I got the free trial claim for 7 days. I canceled after 2 days because didn’t work and they still charged my Apple account $8.99 for the week! I filed a claim with Apple and they refused to give money back even though proven cancellation way before trial period was over and even though didn’t work. They are in a fraud relationship with Apple to steal your money and mak
  20. [R32] FAX for iPhone 1/5 · US Charged: Canceled my subscription and they still charged me.
