About this app

"Who's Calling?" reads the name of the calling party for incoming phone calls or the sender's name of a received message. Main features are:

• Supports phone, SMS, WhatsApp and custom apps (e.g. FB Messenger)*
• Uses default TTS (Text-To-Speech) engine and language pack.
Please ensure that "voice data" in TTS settings is installed
• Configurable format of spoken caller ID (first name, display name, ...)
• Certain contacts can be disabled or a custom name can be defined
• Speech volume can be configured relative to ring tone volume
• Test mode to simulate incoming calls and messages
• Mute speech by flipping the phone
• Configurable number of times it repeats the caller ID
• Possible to activate alerting only when connected to Bluetooth (R) hands-free
(Please note that, with hands-free mode activated, the caller name will still be read out by the smartphone-speakers)

*The accessibility service API is used to read notifications of enabled messaging apps without storing or sharing the information

Ratings and reviews

Great app, works as advertised. I find it very helpful. Beware of the (fake?) copy using the same name and logo by Kofi Inc. - it did not work for me and I am not sure what else it might do! Eventually, because I needed even more flexibility, I programed this in Tasker with additional options.

I love this app. I have one little problem with it, though: If I receive two immediate back-to-back messages from the same person, it only reads me the second of the two messages. Unfortunately, this is a frequent occurrence for me, as I often receive automated messages where the sender sends them back-to-back.

This app worked great a month ago but as of March 13 2019 it is not working at all. One star rating from me until they fix this issue with Google. I purchased the pro version of this so please fix it!
