Good but with a small effort could be great It is quite useful. I would think highly of one feature that can be added to the import action. Under "Add new contact:" there is an option is called "Copy from Address Book". I believe that since the UI/UX here limits us to manipulate the ring / names on the smartphone and not on an external APP (Windows for example), it would be great if an option would be given to choose groups from the address book and not only individual contacts. After all, Google uses groups as it's "rings" so importing a group from the android address book will automatically import all the members to Ringya. Since I can modify / manipulate the groups on Gmail, it would save me a lot of time to import (unless I can get more coins and do it alternatively LOL)

Works as advertised I took a picture of a contact list for a volunteer group I'm in and the 'ring' was created. Works like a charm so far.
★★☆☆☆
No real improvements Some main features are promissed to come, like populating phone log, adding contact pictures,... No new real features added for a long time. Great inital idea though. Pitty.
★★☆☆☆
Too many Pop ups! I started using this app to communicate with my Girl Scout Troop. At first it was fine. After a few days of use, pop up ads every other action, add a new contact...pop up, add a new field...pop up! Uninstalled!
★★☆☆☆
Very intrusive I was added by someone else without permission. Yet I'm in a group and cannot stop the emails! I've emailed ringya but get no answer. It's a bloody joke. Avoid like the plague, it's a scam to get email addresses to sell.
★★☆☆☆
Message, Ad, Message, Ad, Message, Ad, etc etc So, you raid my Contacts lists for data AND bombard me with ads? Not cool, Ringya. 90% of the time I'm getting a full-screen splash ad with each incoming message. Really annoying.
