Linphone vs Guesty

Love the features and concept. One of the few soft phones that triggers our music on hold from our sip pbx correctly. Some issues I noticed is that audio gets very distorted when other notifications are displayed on the Android phone. This is distracting as you can't hear the other party until the notification ends. There is an echo when setting up a conference call and you can't easily switch to other accounts if configured. Other than that, it works.

I have it set up with VoIP.ms, following their configuration instructions. It works fine so long as the phone is awake. But when the screen goes to sleep, the app does not receive calls reliably. I have push notifications turned on, but they don't seem to work. If I activate the background mode to leave a permanent notification on the screen, it receives calls, but kills the battery quickly. Neither option is workable.

No still has problem with Version 4.6.10. If I tap chat button at the bottom right, it freezes. On the Android version, If I tap Contact, it shows two chat icons, one with green shield and the other without. If I tap one without green shield, the app gets frozen. Why is this? Very annoying this needs to be fixed. Also chats do not seem to synchronize with Mobile app and PC desktop (Linux). Hope things will be improved.

All in all: pretty terrible. Notifications delayed. Tapping notifications doesn't open them. App signs out, sometimes multiple times a day (usually every couple days). Just onboarded my portfolio with Guesty but the shakiness of the mobile app is making me take pause with continuing using the platform. Would be eager to see changelog/timeline of fixes. This level of functionality is unacceptable given the cost of service. Better yet--focus on making a responsive browser app experience.

Your new updated app DOES NOT WORK. I continue to have problems and cannot use my phone for my business with your app. I am so disappointed that all your new roll out improvments were obviously not beta tested well enough. This has cost me so much valuable time!!!

One of the main reasons I signed up with Guesty is because they have the app. But it's very basic and keeps crashing and doesn't show messages in real time, some never show up and some with a few hours delay which makes the communication with guests very difficult. Support is also another big issue. I can only contact Guesty by email and they don't reply for days/weeks and even then their reply is rarely helpful. Extremely bad value for money, I'll have to cancel them if they don't sort it
