CallApp: Caller ID & Block

What CallApp does

CallApp: Caller ID & Block is a communication app for identifying unfamiliar callers and reducing unwanted calls. It combines caller ID with spam and robocall blocking, helping users decide whether an incoming call is worth answering. It is aimed at people who receive frequent calls from unknown numbers, telemarketers or suspected scammers.

Tools beyond caller ID

The app also brings several phone communication tools into one place. It can work with SMS, using filtering and inbox organisation to help separate ordinary conversations from unwanted messages. Call recording is another part of its feature set, which may suit users who need to keep a record of important conversations. Caller identification and blocking can also extend to some third-party messaging services.

Who may find it useful

• Useful for: people who want more information before answering an unfamiliar number.
• Useful for: households dealing with repeated marketing calls, robocalls or suspicious messages.
• Worth considering: users who prefer a single app for caller ID, blocking, messaging tools and recording rather than separate utilities.

It has a rating of 4.3 out of 5 from more than 1.7 million reviews, with 100,000,000+ installs.

Before handing it over to someone else, consider whether they need the wider set of calling and messaging features or would be better served by a simpler phone app.
