The journey with truecaller has been great for all the feature packed app. But in last few months I have been really getting second thought about it where should I continue with it or should I just delete it. Turns out my caller id is automatically disabled and not able to turn it on through your own troubleshooting steps and dont get me started on the ads. I know its a free app but that has to be also reasonable. Please help me how to get the caller id turn on.
I love(D) this app, before it started blocking my MMS messages. I can send, but not receive group texts or pictures via MMS. I had to factory reset my phone to get it working again, just to reinstall the app and have the problem all over again. I don't know what changed, but this is unacceptable.
Not user friendly. The whole interface is complicated. Mixing the call records and the message records together make is hard to find what you want. Even on call records, there is need to separate missed calls from received calls and dialed calls. Possible, have a different icon for messages. I still have to go to my default call and message app to easily find things easily. Updated Previous review attended to. Thanks 👍 for that. Restored messages not on phone inbox but on the app only.
Downgraded from 2 to 1 stars. Never stops trying to sell you more stuff. Database of phone numbers is the only real thing of value here, and it's far from perfect. Horrible user interface. Weak settings flexibility. Repeatedly pesters you to turn on features you don't want, or to buy "Gold" even after you paid the $30 USD for an annual subscription. I hope a better option from a competitor exists when my renewal comes around.
Some time is works and most of the time it does not. When a call comes in from an unknown number I have to keep my fingers crossed and wait for good 15-20 seconds to see if the True Caller is popping up the display about who is calling but most of the time it does not and I end up picking calls which can be avoided if I could see the display in time. Pathetic app.
Very helpful app. Big snag is the very slow screen refresh speed when using the app's keypad to dial a number. You click the phone icon to start dialling a number/access the call log - but the screen that displays is an old call log - it takes a good few seconds to update with the latest calls. It gets frustrating when you click a number/name to call it, then the screen refreshes and it starts dialling a different number because the number you actually wanted to dial has now moved down the list. If the app's call logs/screens refreshed faster, this app would definitely be worth 5 starts
Some features that are shown are not accurate one feature that caught my eye was being able to set 3 different greetings that a caller would see when you call a contact I called 2 different contacts and there was no greeting showing when I called a contact, I do not like that all calls that come in are not separated there together (business,personal or scam) however I do Love the emoji's, the app it self is ok but would be better without any glitches.... maybe in the future I'll try it again...
Worse app I have ever used. I couldn't even get pass the verification part. I got the notification for verification code but i didn't receive any. I tried uninstalling and installing again after but in the end, it gave me the notification that i have exceeded(?) the maximum number of times allowed when the previous one time was a glitch? All in all, a horrible not user friendly app.
Truecaller is a very good app, which I recommend for every smartphone user. I would have given you a 5 Star rating, but because high price of the yearly subscription, hence I am appealing to the developer to come down with the price of the premium version of the app. This may inspire me to go for the Premium version of the app as the app's license will be renewed yearly. Or is the Premium version purchased for life without renewal of license? Thanks for your response.
Has been great so far at blocking calls and helping identify scam callers. But it seems to hang up on phone calls when I press the power button. Really, I just want to turn off the phone screen, but then it hangs up the phone. Turn that feature off please. Power button shouldn't hang up the phone!! I will change rating to 5, if this is fixed. Great app otherwise!!
Would give app higher rating but it stopped sending mms picture messages and group messages. It has a chat button that says not available when you select it. I can send these items by going to other apps to do so. I have reached out to Truecaller and they asked if I could send from other apps and send them a screen shot. I told them I could and sent screen shot and never received a response and my case was closed. I have tried to uninstall it and reinstall it multiple times & doesn't work.
1) The app does not "block" calls, it just silences the ringer, obviously false advertising. This is a violation of Google Play Store Policy as they are claiming to block calls but only silences it. 2) This app no longer allows you to filter out blocked calls from your call list, very bad design change as it allows the ability to tap on and call automatically. 3) I will not be renewing my yearly subscription if they do not allow me to filter out blocked calls by the time my renewal is due.
Great app, used it for many years on many devices. As of alte though I can't search in true caller for someone's name. Example: if I search in truecaller for someone who called me the day before but can't remember his number and don't have him as a contact then I used to be able to search for "Brian" for example and then his truecaller name would come up and I could phone him back. Which for me is the most important feature of the app, is this a new privacy update or what's the story?
I was using a free version of true caller and thought after getting a paid version would get better features, so took a 1 year subscription, but absolutely disappointed. I am still not getting 1. Caller ID not detected in most of the calls after waiting for 15 + secs. 2. Search of number from call history by name not available, instead it searches from only contacts, which has no sense. Paid version was taken by me mainly to get above 2 features. If not sorted then paid version is useless
From past few months Truecaller is acting like a bloatware. First it disabled caller ID and forcing me to me use Truecaller as default caller app to enable caller ID.. Recently, it also disabled block feature and the same reason use Truecaller as default app. I don't know why they are doing it, maybe need to check changes in Google policy. P.S. 24*7 notification to set Truecaller as default app (can be disabled).
I'd love if there's a minimalist version of the app that does only one thing and that alone: recognize phone numbers. This current version that tries to take over your call/sms functions is too invasive and it comes with too many features dragging for your attention.
Good for identifying unsaved numbers quickly when they call. But it's slow to open and also for incoming calls. The phone can ring about 3-5 seconds before it will appear. Please remove the pop-up notification - (it always ask you to add or invite the caller to True caller) that appears after a call.
Fails to send texts all the time, and then doesn't tell you. Won't even retry on it's own. All you have to do is tap the message to resend it, but what good is that if you didn't even know it didn't send? Why can't the app retry on it's own? This is a nightmare when you compound the apps problems handling group texts, which can't be resent. Blocking spam or unknown texts is only available with premium. In a way, this is an upgrade for me, but I'll have to try something else.
