Version 2.1 has serious bugs

I’ve used this app for years and I loved it. Among other things you can text via internet with no cell reception. But about a week ago, m phone became totally unresponsive and kept getting worse. Finally I looked at battery usage and, despite not using the app, Google Voice was using 43% of my battery just churning in the background. I uninstalled the app, rebooted my phone twice and zoom! Was back to it’s old quick self. Hoping it was a bad install of a good app, a day later, I reinstalled it. Even though I never even signed into my account, a day later my phone was sluggish and unresponsive. I once again uninstalled and rebooted and zoom. My phone is bright and peppy again. Conclusion: do NOT upgrade to Google Voice until version 2.2 comes out. This, by the way, is on an iPhone 5s
Good, but needs more features

Recently started my own business and needed a phone number with a local area code. Google voice was perfect for this need and saved me from having to get a second cell phone with its own number. Now I can have my work and personal number on a single phone, which is much easier than carrying around 2 devices. So far haven't experienced any crashes and no dropped calls. The only downside that I have come across though is that you cannot add contacts directly through the Google voice app like you can through the regular phone app on the iPhone. This means that if I want to add a contact of someone who called me through GV, I have to copy and paste the number using the regular contacts App on the phone. Not a huge deal, but adds a few extra steps and makes it less convenient than it should be. This seems like an easy fix for Google, and would be a much appreciated extra feature.
Love GV but sad about now

I have used Google Voice for years and mostly on the app on my phone. Until recently it has worked great but now during texting it is shutting down very quickly (10-15 seconds). I literally have a race to put my text in before it shuts down and have to start over. Very frustrating. Happened approximately on version 2.8 but also 2.9 and 2.10 it continues. Currently running iOS version 11.1.2 and happened on iPhone 7 & current X. Not sure which iOS version caused the hangups but can’t deal with it any more. Please fix so I can change to 5 stars!
Crashes

This app (or version) crashes all the time. It typically does so when I’m in the middle of writing a text message. Frustrating. Aside from that they took away the ability to mark as unread, which was great.

Seriously once I updated my phone now all it does is give me 5 seconds to reply!!! I won’t be satisfied until the lagging and crashing is fixed like how it was!
