As of August 31, Clementine will be shutting down the remaining parts of its mobile app. The company also promises that it will help both its premium and its regular subscribers transition as applicable, making the announcement and changes as smooth as possible for those who have used Clementine.

Clementine is a service for businesses and business workers that condenses communication of both the text and voice sort into a mobile app. There's group messaging and a Business Number for avoiding giving out a personal number, as well as conference calls features, contacts, and more.
