NetSapiens android app quit working for me in the sense I can't make a
phone call out.  I'm simply using Zoiper (free edition).

There was an iPhone app update (not iOS, the app) around the same time and
it had some issues, I forget what it was.  I think my techs are still using
the iPhone app to call customers, though.
