Official Google Voice Application Now Available in App Store

[Spike099]

Only available in the US? I can't find it on the Canadian App Store...

I am just so glad that some other news came along today to knock the Beatle's Cra* off the front page of MR!

 

[Cougarcat]

Glad to see Apple's "study" has come to a close.

 

[Popeye206]

How can such rubbish get approved on such a amazing and magical day that we will never forget? I'm going back to the Beetles thread!!!!

Just kidding!

 

[DocPenguin]

Sorry, but I don't see it on the app store. I have Google Mobile, but this is different right? When I search "Google voice", Google's Mobile app(which I already have) comes up.

It's on the second page of results right now.

Does this work with ipod touch 4?

 

[Polarian Method]

This is bigger news than the beatles!

You heard it here first, folks:

Google Voice > The Beatles > Jesus

 

[HiFiGuy528]

No VOIP over 3G. WTF!

 

[gdkid2010]

Doesn't work on iPod touch 4G

 

[benhollberg]

It uses direct dial to make outgoing calls. Anyone know how or if this can change to call back like in GV Mobile +?

Just click on the "AppStore" link in the article.

So now I can call my iPhone ... from my iPhone!

 

[DocPenguin]

Does this work with ipod touch 4?

No, it still has to be able to make a call over the cellular network to work.

No

What do you know. Today is just like anyother day that I will never forget!!

Initially couldn't find the app in the iphone app store when I searched "google voice", but eventually found it if you tap "Show 25 More" at the bottom.

Thanks! That worked!

now all I need is a native Google Talk app and a native GMail app and for Apple or Google to update the Maps app (this really hasn't been updated substantially in year-- need turn-by-turn directions)

 

[eighteesix]

local calling uses your ATT minutes, right?

Yes

 

[MrMoore]

Who cares if the Beatles are on iT....


oopps. Wrong thread

Cool. I was using GV Mobile (Jailbroke version). Can now use the official Google version to compare.

 

[sobeservices2]

Can't find it on my phone in US store but I can find it in itune's on my laptop

 

[DeuceDeuce]

I was very excited about this but so far its terrible, GV+ is much much better besides the lack on push notifications. I will be using both for the time being. Google official app for push and thats about it. GV+ for everything else.

Scratch that... I only want VM push notifications but doesn't look like you can select what you want notifications for. Don't need text notifications as I use SMS GV extension. Terrible app Google.

GV is not available in Canada. Why would it be in the Canadian App Store?

 

[iWonderwhy]

Where are all the fanboys bashing this because the name Google's attached to it?

On the Beatles thread.

while Apple will never forget today because of the major money they are making off the Beatles, the news of Google Voice coming to iOS is more exciting to me.

Case of another person under the mistaken impression that Apple makes money off the iTunes Store, whether it be Music, Movies, TV Shows, Books, Apps, etc. The store does barely better than break even and the revenue and profit are inconsequential to Apple's bottom line. All those media outlets do for Apple is help them sell hardware. That's where the money is.
