forward texts from google voice # to an iphone app

[eon]

I love using google voice to encapsulate my real phone number, but one annoyance is using google voice through safari for texting. Its a bit cumbersome to use and you dont know if someone texts you unless you open and refresh google voice.
I know there are a few work-arounds which seems to involve buying some app, but does anyone here have any favorites? thanks

Use the official Google Voice app. You can even have the app forward texts directly to the iPhone Messages app, and when you respond it will come from your Google Voice number.
