As we have eagerly been waiting for Google Voice making its way back to Apple iTunes App Store, two third party apps using Google Voice API have made through the approval process, GV Connect and the latest admission was GV Mobile+
These apps including the native app from Google were rejected by Apple last year for duplicating built-in iPhone features. But recently Apple has relaxed the rules, similar apps have started getting back in.
Google Voice app allows essentially to place outgoing calls using the Google Voice number as caller ID. Other features including sending/receiving SMS, Voicemail, call log,..

Notes from the author support Web site:
Signing In
Magic Key Error – This will almost always be due to the fact that you have Multiple Sign-in enabled on your Google account. Support for this will most likely be added in a future release. To turn this feature off, visit the Google Voice website, click on Settings then Google Account settings, then Edit for Multiple Sign-In.
Dialing
Missing Number Error – Since Google Voice relies on a real phone to make calls from, you need to tell GV Mobile + which phone to call back (since OS4, Apple no longer allows developers access to iPhone numbers, I can’t automatically do this). Typically this will be your iPhone number, but it could be your home, work, or other phone (Gizmo). It also has to be a phone that is listed as a call forwarding number (which can be added as well via the Forward Calls To section under Settings).
