I would have given it zero stars, but Apple does not provide the zero star option.Overall Opinion: Users of Truecaller will enjoy easy setup of the mobile app once downloaded and installed on their smartphone. Since Truecaller does not warn about not working with iPhone 7 in its self description in the App Store, I’ve given it one star. It appears in my family’s iPhone 6 and iPhone 5. The problem is, Truecaller does not appear in the Settings. In order to set up Truecaller on the iPhone, in my case an iPhone 7, to to Settings>Phone>Call Blocking & Identification to turn on Truecaller.
#REVIEW TRUECALLER APP UPDATE#
This is an update to my prior review, which follows. Someone, please explain to me how this is not a worthless app. Really do not understand the near five star review average, in fact I’m baffled by it. Two, allows you to double check a number that has just phone you, to see if other app holders have previously reported the number as a Spammer. One, is to allow you to report a spam caller as a spammer to the developer - Gee Thanks (can you hear the sarcasm dripping in my voice?).
#REVIEW TRUECALLER APP FULL#
I find the app worthless, and the cost to privacy not near worth the price of giving the developers FULL ACCESS TO EVERY SINGLE CONTACT ON YOUR DEVICE.

I’ve had my number for 10 years now and still get collection calls for someone I don’t know! I haven’t found any better app out there, though, so the collection calls will have to manually be rejected. However, while clearly marked in red a call is spam and you answer, you will find they let collection agency calls through. If you refuse their persistence in signing up for school, they rudely say they can’t help. Holding two bachelors and a masters degrees, I politely told the first few I had no interest in school and explained my education level. The advanced spam detector will automatically block and protect you from fraudulent calls and SMS, and the phone numbers on this spam. The calls I was receiving, promising job opportunities, required me to sign up for more school. Stay protected from spam and scams - Truecaller’s Caller ID will identify and block robocallers, fraudsters, telemarketers and other unwanted or unknown phone numbers. I bought the new iPhone X 256GB, but neglected to turn the blocking options on in settings. I have found it blocks legitimate spam calls as I recently put my resume online and immediately began getting spam calls. The problem is, it clearly identifies a spam caller, but still allows some through. Understanding there are constantly new numbers added to the spam list, I expect to update the app database daily.

I got this app, TrueCaller, and its only works part of the time.
