### Background
I've been using Google Voice for about a year. During that time, I've been also using a Mac app called GrowlVoice that appears in my menubar. It allows listening to voicemail messages and also sending text messages.
### Error
Now when I launch Google Voice I get an error:
> Unable to sign in to myemailadress@gmail.com
> Unable to build JSON object from JSON string"
### What I tried
I deleted GrowlVoice's app using an CleanMyMac, an app that supposedly deletes apps and all their associated files. I then re-downloaded GrowlVoice from the App Store, but I'm still getting the error.
### Further Research
I also went to the website of the GrowlVoice developer and sent him a message. I'm writing here too because the developer's site hasn't been updated since 2012 and GrowlVoice is no longer being sold on the App Store so it's apparently no longer in development.
### Questions
So, my questions are:
1. How can I fix the JSON errors?
2. Is there another app that would have similar functionality as GrowlVoice?
### Update
Apparently today Google made changes to Google Voice which broke GrowlVoice, which is why GrowlVoice was pulled from the Mac App store. Now I have to log into my Google account in a browser if I want to listen to voicemail messages or send texts on my Mac.
