User reviews

Poor technical support

I can't find any sort of help link to get to contact the staff about a problem with my account. There seems to be a Feedback link but I can't see any sign that that would receive a reply via email. Rumble has reported at the top of the developer page, which has no contact information, that they are acquiring call in. However I don't know of any email address at Rumble for help with Call-in. Rumble has good technical support that replies to people in email.

I can't get control of my phone number to start a new account once I had to discontinue one and I'm having a lot of problems related to that. If you accidentally try to verify a phone number and discover that you used the wrong one of my several phone numbers, it still thinks you just created a new account even though you never finished creating it.

It's really awful when you're trying to remember which of your phone number to used and you typed the wrong one and verify it then you never finish creating any kind of new account, the stupid software still thinks you have created one even though you didn't.

I can't recover control of my phone numbers for this app to delete them to start over so I can't use this app and I'm going to have to delete it. and there's no way to get any help. So for Rumble to say Call-in provided a seamless experience is ridiculous.

Amazing concept.

The idea of Callin is almost revolutionary. I hope it becomes widely adopted.

Comments won’t scroll

App stopped scrolling comments in chat. I have to exit and reopen show to refresh comments.

Callin is Addictive!

The only issue I have with Callin is how much time I spend on the app listening and talking to some of my favorite thinkers.

It has also been joyful to set up my own podcast after using other podcasting and radio apps to host my show.

The interactive features make chatting with my audience so fun and this is my favorite site to conduct interviews.

I love the free transcript that is generated from the conversations and the ability I have to quickly edit my shows and share them all over the internet.

Constantly crashing😫

I finally came over to Callin, where the cool kids hangout and the app crashes every minute or so, no matter what! I used both of my newer model iPhones, tried on the last iOS 15, then 16.0, then updated to iOS 16.2, turned the Lock Screen off, and NOTHING allowed me to listen to just one single BJG episode. I’ve been trying to get through the first hour for about four hours now. Fix it, Jesus!😩 Please and thank you 😊🙏🏾
