Voice Mac is a client for Google Voice the features are described below.
Short Message Service (SMS)
Voicemail
Calling people using your forwarding phones.
Contact list with the options of Google Contacts or Address Book.
Contact Filter.
Growl for SMS and Voicemail.
SMS History so you can go and view old SMS.
KLOOFY011 The app takes too much time to logout. Sometimes, when I log in some UI controls and objects doesn't work well in Contacts window (like phone to ring or the call history). (Version 5.1)
RELUX Great app and use it all the time. The only problem I have is a huge memory leak. I have to close it now and then to get it to free up RAM, sometimes eating up more than 2gb. (Version 5.1)
MR. GECKO Yeah, I know about that, I'm going to track it down sometime soon. (Version 5.1)

JRDAVE2304 Really loving this software so far. I was initially using a Fluid app version of Google Voice but it didn't refresh the inbox fast enough for my liking. I must note, I haven't used/tried the call feature yet so that is not factored into my rating.
Would like to see a bit more customization available (i.e., custom sounds for receipt of messages), but I'm sure that will come with time. For now, however, it does what I need it to. (Version 5.1)
ZARATHUSTRAX SMS works fine. However, when I try to call out it says "Error while trying to call." Error code: null. This is on Voice Mac Beta 5. Not sure why this is happening, is there something I can do? I'm running OS X 10.5.8 (Version Beta 5)
EASYRHIN0 Great app! Works well with Growl->Prowl notifications. It would be nice if you could consolidate contact numbers under one entry.
For instance:
Instead of having:
-John Doe
(xxx) xxx-xxxx Cell
-John Doe
(xxx) xxx-xxxx Work
-John Doe
(xxx) xxx-xxxx Home
It would look like:
-John Doe
(xxx) xxx-xxxx Cell
(xxx) xxx-xxxx Work
(xxx) xxx-xxxx Home
Skype for OSX splits the contacts from address book in the same way, so perhaps it's a limitation with Address Book/OSX. Pulling contacts from Address Book seems to work better than from Google Voice. When pulling the contacts from Google Voice I end up with a bunch of strange entries from old mobile phone# that have long been deleted from my google contacts. It will just show the old number as an entry with no name.
VEGGIEDUDE Works for me. I like it. Was able to call out, was able to send SMS. What more is there to do? Oh, receive messages. Yes, it can do that too. (Version Beta 4.3)
JUSTANTHRGUYHERE Ok..what does this do? ????? Gawd awful initial user experience! I downloaded, it presented me the enter email/password dialog. I log into the web page with a user name and password. I had to go to the web site to find out what my email was. Strike one! I entered the email and licked ok but nothing happened! The dialog stayed up. Strike two! I then quit and reopened and now it says I'm logged in but a visit to the preferences doesn't show me what it's using as log in credentials or any way to change them! Strike three!
I'm not given the ability only to:
Log out
View SMS History
View Voice Mail
That's pretty much it!
In the description I see a cool graphic but gawd only knows what it is. Anyway...I'm now left to go research what this thing is supposed to do for me and that just shouldn't be the case. (Version Beta 4.1)
MR. GECKO One, it's still in beta. Beta means I'm still fixing bugs that may exist and adding features, if you like to request a feature or let me know of any bugs, please contact me here http://mrgeckosmedia.com/support/forum/11
Two, I fixed the bugs you where receiving.
Three, I added Voicemail and SMS History.
