Was looking to check something like this just today! Good to have chanced on this. So, is Android in your pipeline?

Why does this iOS app require i 18.0 or later? This means that older iPhone models cannot use this app, which is quite unfortunate!

I'v been waited AI-powered phone call assistant, and you guys call it scond phone. wow, nice.

Great idea, I downloaded the app right away, but no matter how I try to sign in with my email, it doesn't work. I don't know what the problem is

just signed up for the trial

some suggestions:

allow an area code directory on signup when picking a number

allow number shuffling for a given area code

allow number porting

these are easy ways to get "effort debt lock in"

also instead of 662 - use user IP to get closest area code match to start there imo

$19.99/month a little steep but i can see why you have to go this way to do bake in TTS and STT costs but keep it simple for the user to understand.

advancing thru signup with the microphone access and push notification permissions requires two extra steps - definitely auto-advance user after they accept permissions

finally, definitely worth pulling up phone number selection prior to signing up (picking a phone number is like picking a domain name - once someone finds one they are more likely to sign up rather than wondering what's behind the door)
