  13. [R40] FAX from iPhone 1/5 · US Don’t Waste Your Money: App is able to send fax but receiving fax is another story. After waiting a week for a fax I tested the number they assigned me and of course it doesn’t work and the fax report gives a “no answer” error code.

Initially, I gave a 5 star review for ease of use, and then the app required that I pay almost $10 to actually send the fax. Major bait and switch…and $10 to send a fax?!?! I am taking the time to review again. Buyer beware, the high reviews are not genuine.

  20. [R60] FAX from iPhone 1/5 · US Free to Download, Not Free to Send!: This app was working fantastically until my final step. I was able to create a cover sheet, and easily capture my documents without having to upload/resend them.

If they’

  24. [R44] FAX from iPhone 1/5 · US Rip off: Downloaded this app to send a fax and it didn’t even work! Complete waste of $10 and of my time. Do not download
