A Note About This Nostalgia Release
Let’s be honest, this version probably will not get you out of an awkward meeting or a boring date anymore. People know what today’s iPhone call screen looks like.
That is exactly why this release exists.
Fake Caller is a celebration of the original iPhone experience, bringing back the classic incoming call screen exactly as millions remember it, now rebuilt to run on modern hardware. If you owned Fake Caller back in the day, you will recognize it instantly. If you missed it the first time around, here is your chance to experience a fun little piece of App Store history.
You might still catch your friends doing a double take when your brand-new iPhone suddenly lights up with a call screen straight out of 2007.
Thank you to everyone who downloaded, shared, and supported Fake Caller over the years. We hope you enjoy the nostalgia trip.

Crashes the minute you try to select another ringtone. Would like to use a regular ringtone on my iPhone 5s, one that people would recognize as my own, although it crashes. I deleted it. Fix it and let me know and I'll get it again.
Developer Response
Sorry it took so long.. We just released a Nostalgia release which fixes the crashes and ringtone problems. Happy Fake Calling!
I have a request please.

Ok so, I have been a fan of your app for literally YEARS ever since I got my first iPod touch. Well now with my iPhone, it will be more useful (more realistic) anywho, for the ringtone, I'd really like to be able to use my REAL ringtone because everyone in the office knows my ringtone. It's so off when it goes off in a meeting and all of a sudden it sounds like a piano riff or a flipping fart!!! So I'd love it if you could incorporate our own ringtones into this. Thanks :)
Developer Response
Very sorry it took so long to get back to you. We have released a new version with the feature you wanted. Happy Fake Calling!

FAKE

Yeah it's definitely fake, it doesn't even work. I tried to use it on my girlfriend. In stead I got stuck eating dinner at her parents house. You can't change the ringtone to yours. So my girlfriend asked me, "who's phone is that"? "Thats not your ringtone"! The plan broke down before I could even get started! So I ll give you two stars for trying to help. But again, anyone who knows ur ringtone isn't gonna buy ur story.
Developer Response
Fair point, General69. 😅Good news: you can finally change the ringtone now.Bad news: it took me almost 15 years to save you from dinner at your girlfriend’s parents’ house.Sorry I was a little late on that one.
