Emergency Call Filter
• Make your phone ring for persistent callers, even in silent mode.
• Find your misplaced phone by ringing it, even if silent mode is enabled.
When somebody calls persistently several times in succession, this app will make your phone ring even in silent mode. This usually happens when the caller is in an urgent situation.
Once you set it up, you won't need to think about this app anymore. But you'll surely be glad it's there when the need strikes.
Please take a moment to read the Help screen within the application, for in-depth details.
App size is only 300 kB, and it uses no system resources. No ads and no funny permissions. Open source.

It doesn't use the chosen ringer, it just makes a single bleep and that's it. No way to change it. It isn't even a bleep from notifications or anything either, it is low volume and worthless.
It seems to not work. Doesn't ring after set number of repeat calls on my OnePlus 7 and Redmi Note 8. This app is exactly what I need
Great app. Would love if you could also add numbers to always ring (like my building Enterphone).
Needs a feature to ring all calls on first call.
Doesn't work for me with Android 9
App does nothing
Not only does it work for emergencies but if you can't find your phone but left it on silent you no longer have to worry! It happend to me already and i just installed it. Kodos to the developer great job. Only one concern i dont know how, or if you can change the ring on it when it takes over. Besides that great app
Please add a feature where the user can select which of their contacts can/cannot activate this app. Please remove the "rang for (X)% of the time" criteria in favor of a "called (X) number of times in the last (X) number of minutes. Lastly, it would be nice if we could choose a ringtone specifically for when this app is activated. This is a very helpful app. Thank you.
Can't you just have it set so it will ring if someone has called, for example, 3 times total in the last 10 minutes, instead of trying to calculate ring duration ratios? Ring durations ratios are unnecessary and have caused missed calls. It would be great if app was set up to base ONLY on X# of missed calls (or texts) within X# of minutes from same contact. Also it would be great to include # of texts from same contact in calculation. Have had situations where contact tried both methods in an emergency.
Awsome app. Thank you :)
The levels are too ambiguous... It doesn't tell you what constitutes urgent and how the ratings are configured because what's considered "persistent" varies person to person so you have no idea what you're choosing when blindly picking the levels. It would be more effective if a set, defined amount was used (like 3 calls within 5 minutes or 2 calls within 2 minutes..etc).
It's very close to being exactly what i need but that final missing piece is so simple yet so fundamental that i just end up being frustrated with it. It wakes the phone up fine after persistent calls but only to vibrate mode. There's no way to make the phone ring out loud in an emergency. If you could fix this simple issue i'd happily give it a five star rating.
