Truecaller: Caller ID & Block 4+

Some more features in app

Thank you for hearing out the problems which was existing earlier. Now the accuracy of contacts whether spam or from contacts is much higher but there is some problem still there . First problem is that spam detection isn’t 100% which should be there. Moreover if person is from non contacts or spam it doesn’t show some times. The need for share contact and then search Truecaller should be eliminated. The call coming spam or from contacts should be displayed on screen when phone rings before receiving call so that person can know whether it’s spam or normal call. Another things which should be added is if contact isn’t saved even then his/her name should be displayed on screen without sharing contact and then get information. Thank You. Regards Manish Bansal.

They have blocked all feature behind subscription wall

Lately I got to know that Trucaller doesn’t block any spam calls unless you subscribe to their premium at 100 rupees per month or 1000 rupees per month for premium+ (god knows if anyone even pays that) even though this wasn’t the case before. I have been using TC for more than a decade, but now that they are basically scamming by the virtue of false advertising, their app no longer deserves to be on my phone and they don’t have a right to process my data. The most basic feature that people used truecaller was for blocking spam calls but now they have blocked this feature behind their pay wall. Their search used to work but now it doesn’t as you will only be able to see the details of the number if the person is a friend of a friend and has true caller. Their search used app is useless even with the subscription because of the reasons I just mentioned. Also, the silliest thing, they want you to refresh the spam list every month which requires you to watch an advertisement (but there are ads every time you open the app and when you search of a number) but refreshing the spam list does nothing because the calls are not blocked unless you subscribe to premium at 100 rupees per month.

not worth paying as of now

Tried product again and brought one of their plans yesterday.
And have Received two spam calls since morning. And now filtering / spam alert by truecaller. Asking apple for refund.

Previous review:
tried one month paid as i was fed up with spam calls. but spam detection does not work. i know that i can say “siri search true caller” but it is same as picking the unknown phone and usually within 5 secs i can identify a spam call being on call. siri also take around same time. but sometimes siri shortcut does not work, and due to this i always pick call and identify my self. suggestion if you want this to work on ios, the limited blocked list that you keep on ios to check if spam or not, should be user targeted. i am in blr and get lots of spam on loan and properties. blocked list on my device should foucs on these. i think this is highly monetizable product. you can save me 120 times a month from getting distracted saving me quite a few hrs. and i am ready to pay 100 for this if done right.
