Comments on HomeWAV for Android

★★★★★ ESMERALDA KIRKWOOD · Jun 30, 2026

It's been very helpful while my loved one has been incarcerated you can text and video what more can we ask for

★★★★☆ Darlene Herold · Apr 11, 2026

Unfortunately I've used this app several times in the last 4 years. I've never had a problem until now. It will not allow me to send pictures cannot figure it out I've sent them before and other people can send them

★★★★★ Lisa “L.B.G” Harris · Jul 22, 2026

Great app hey in touch with your loved ones

★★★★☆ Travis DeLoach · Apr 20, 2026

We love it, especially considering the alternative. We never have a problem adding money, sending messages, whether its pics, videos or simple texts. It takes a few seconds less than 10 to connect via video and sometimes lags a bit but not often. Alot of rhe problems have to do with the tablets or kiosk machines and ear buds and thr condition in my opinion at thr facility. A bit expensive but worth it to me and us

★★★★★ Priscilla Johnson · Sep 2, 2026

Great I couldn't ask for more time to see and talk to my loved one thank you yes it was fast clear and very well responsive.

★☆☆☆☆ Rachel Carroll · Apr 10, 2026

How on earth does one become -$610 in the hole for phone and video calls because my fiancée mother's debit card which was on my account also because we took turns paying for her commissary and phone calls her great nephew for the last 3 months has cleared out her bank account on porn and the bank confirmed that but yet they say since her bank refunded her the money although homeward was NOT part of any fraud they put MY account only in the -600 dollars, and I'll never get to talk to her again

★☆☆☆☆ Tammy Gebbink · May 24, 2026

When I tried to get a video visit it was so bad, and I couldn't see or hear and it waited my money.

★☆☆☆☆ E Md · Mar 22, 2026
