Ratings and reviews

I downloaded it onto my grandparents's new smartphone. They are 78 and 80 respectively. They can't handle a lot of interface which a lot of apps failed to do. This app which overrode the incoming calls was perfect. It was way simpler and easier for them to operate. And just that alone would have earned it a five-star review. However, they locked The ability to use the keypad during a call behind a $10 paywall. A couple dollars I can understand but $10 for a single feature is ridiculous.

I THOUGHT the app was decent until I attempted to push a number option for my doctor's office and received a pop up that stated this was only available in a paid version. Seriously?!? Something so simple has to be paid for? This makes this app completely USELESS! People are forced to pay to use a feature that should be free. I could see paying for other features but part of a simple call? Nope. You get 0 stars! UNINSTALLED!

Bjg issue with the dial numbers listed in the top field . Only shows or have limited space for just 6 numbers ...you never can see the entire number , 10 digits, before dialing . Can't adjust size of numbers in order to fit in the top field . International calls are hard to verify before calling . You have to rotate the phone to get a longer field . My mom or her friends can not get that .. rotating phones are hard to understand for people over 70...
