They need to provide a queue on when new apps will be reviewed. Not sure if the app I need will be ready in weeks, years or never. I submitted an app to be included in the tool box, but it didn't allow me to. I contact customer service and they said someone already submitted that app to review. They couldn't provide a turn around time for when the app will reviewed. At the end of the day Wisephone II decided to force the $14.99 subscription fee just to use the phone, which I find ridiculous. This wasn't part of the original plan. No other phone does this, this is after initial purchase of the phone and owning it not a lease fee or anything. Seems silly, but hey if I'm paying there should be a new product not one I already own right. Its like buying your tv, having a seperate cable provider and your tv is like hey just give us $15/month to turn it on? If I'm paying for the app review to make a better product then let me know what I'm paying for is actually going somewhere. Where it is in the queue right? A better system would be allowing multiple people to request the same app to show what apps have the most demand so they can get highest priority. I have a lot of people interested in the phone but they need a certain app for work etc. Not knowing when the app will launch is a huge factor preventing these people from buy the app...and the continued fee for just using the phone you already bought...come'on.

Thank you for your thoughtful and honest feedback—it’s clear you care deeply about the potential of Wisephone, and we truly appreciate that. Your example is spot on: when you buy a TV, you don't automatically get access to every streaming app—it still requires subscriptions. Similarly, the Wisephone II comes with a solid foundation of tools and baked-in security, so users don’t have to spend time trying to lock things down themselves. The $14.99 subscription isn’t about accessing individual apps—it's about supporting the intentional experience, curated environment, and the ongoing updates and safeguards we maintain. That said, we absolutely hear your concern about the app review process. You’re right—our current system doesn’t give visibility into which apps are in review, or what the timeline might be. That needs to change, and it's on our list to explore improvements, including your great suggestion about letting users “upvote” apps they’d like to see. Transparency and demand-based prioritization are key areas we aim to build into the next version of our request process. (On our radar and list) We also want to be upfront: Wisephone II isn’t meant to be an app-first phone. We don't recommend purchasing it if a specific app is a dealbreaker for work or daily life. But for those seeking a more intentional digital experience, it can be a great fit—and we're honored that you're spreading the word to others. Thanks again for taking the time to share. Your feedback helps shape our path forward.

I have really enjoyed my time with the Wisephone! I find myself more focused on the things that matter and less scattered. I find that I am able to do the things that I need to do on the Wisephone without the distraction of going down loopholes. I would highly recommend!

This is such an encouraging review—thank you! We’re so glad Wisephone is helping you stay focused on what matters most (and not get sucked into those all-too-familiar rabbit holes 🕳️📱). It means the world to hear that you highly recommend Wisephone. Keep living intentionally—you’ve got this! 💪

I love how far wisephone has come, I love the concept. I would love to see a smaller phone. Being that you aren't watching videos and browsing there just doesn't seem to be a good reason to have such a big phone. I would also love to see parental control and monitoring options

Thanks so much for the love—and for cheering us on as we grow! 💪 We’re right there with you: when you’re not doom-scrolling or binge-watching cat videos, who really needs all that screen real estate? 😄 A smaller phone is definitely on our radar. Perhaps the next hardware model could be, though no promises are made at this time. And yes, we hear you loud and clear on parental controls. That’s a big priority for us as we look ahead. In the meantime, thank you for being part of the movement toward living fully with healthy technology. We're grateful you're along for the ride—and if we do shrink the phone, we promise it’ll still be mighty.

This phone is the best compromise I’ve found between being convenient (gps, Spotify, mobile banking) but not addictive. It’s a little glitchy at times and some of the apps that are allowed don’t seem to work (either error messages or just stay on the loading screen). Overall it’s done what’s it’s supposed to do and reduced my phone use drastically without being a major headache.

Thought it was was wonderful at first. Have not been able to get help to access voicemail. They said send them numbers off the carton the phone came in, which I did, only got message to put in my zipcode and phone number which I did over and over, only got a recording that it was not correct. Repeated requests for help are ignored. Frustration level is high.

too many issues with wisephone to name. very impractical. Still struggling to receive texts and answer phone calls. Log-ins into approved apps have been difficult without browser support. Limited apps available that are necessary for daily life. Nice idea, but unfortunately just impractical and makes things too difficult. Even maps doesn't integrate enough with browsers so you can tell when businesses are open. Camera quality is extremely low. Even the functionality that *is* there (however limited) is buggy.
