GOOD NEWS! Ver 5.6 working ok so far on iPhone 4 with IOS 7.1.2. Prior versions won't start ringing until 3 rings on home phone. While I ran a test at home and on WiFi, the IOS app Ver 5.6 started rings simultaneous with home phone.

nope still junk. tapping on the answer button usually doesn't do anything or when it does work the person on the other line is hanging up.

Have you installed Ver 5.8? I have finally learned that when my phone rings and I swipe the on-screen msg with person's name then press Connect (if that is the word on the button), I connect with the caller (worked with Ver 5.6 also). Recent fixes to the app got it to ring immediately if not prior to home phone's 1st ring. In the past, the app didn't start to ring till the 3rd or so ring at which time the home phone answering machine took over, person would leave msg or hang up. So, my experience with the IOS App is more favorable than in the past and I finally can answer calls.

Another discovery - The IOS App calls are heard in car via iphone BlueTooth link same as when someone calls my cell. That's a BIG PLUS! Thanks Ooma guys if you made this happen. If not - take the credit anyway ... but I do not think it worked with App versions prior to 5.8.
