### 2/5 — Widget not working on the latest iOS

*2022-12-23, version 1.37*

It is like a beta programme. The “new” feature, the widgets, is not working.

**Developer response:** Hi, thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. I just want to say that the beta program is indeed on hold, but the widgets do work. 

To add a widget, you need to slide your finger right on the screen and open the widget menu ->, scroll down and tap the "edit" button ->, scroll down and tap the "customize" button to open the widget list where you can find Drupe.

I hope this information is helpful and you'll give Druep another try. If you have any questions, fell free to email us at hi@getdrupe.com. 🙂

### 3/5 — About the app

*2022-07-20, version 1.37*

I'm sorry had to uninstall , after updates couldn't get to open or stay on my phone sorry. I'm missing to many calls & messages.

**Developer response:** Exciting update! 🌟 Our latest app version enhances the call blocking function. Now, auto-block those top spammers effortlessly. Update Drupe now and share your thoughts at hi@getdrupe.com.

### 4/5 — Drip review

*2022-02-16*

Works as specified easy to use

### 4/5 — Very good app, but

*2021-07-19, version 1.37*

App can't be a Phone default app for iPhone. Each time it needs a confirmation: call 123...

**Developer response:** Hi! It's true. Sadly, iPhones OS doesn't allow third-party apps to replace the phone's native dialer. We hope the situation will change one day so we can provide our users with a more convenient solution. 🙂

### 1/5 — Not Anything Like the Android App

*2021-05-26, version 1.37*

I had drupe pro for many years on my Android phone and loved it, so this was one of the first apps I bought when I migrated back to iOS. The iOS version is missing so many features that it is almost worthless. I paid for a year but I have cancelled my subscription now and stop using it. Even if, as the developer claims, the issues are with Apple, the app does not offer any real benefit over the stock dialed. Huge disappointment

### 2/5 — Hype

*2021-03-17*

A lot of hype for nothing especially with the high price tag. 
You can charge buyers higher prices if you have a USP. Most developers seem to ignore this point.

### 1/5 — It keeps crashing

*2021-03-05, version 1.37*

I had it my samsung and I bought the pro version on my iPhone but it just does not work.it keeps crashing fce my money back

### 1/5 — Lot of features missing on IOS

*2021-03-04, version 1.37*

I have used this app on android and got the pro version on my new iPhone, surprisingly lot of basic features are missing like recent calls, filters etc 

Needs serious upscale if it needs to match the android version.  Pls review

### 1/5 — Not sure this version even works

*2024-06-15*

Sorry this version ( IOS) does not show anything I do not already know.  Either I have stuffed up the set up or it does not work the way it does of the ‘ Other Platform’.

**Developer response:** Did you recently switch from Android to iOS? Drupe on iOS offers all the possible useful features available on this platform. Apple's OS has many data restrictions, limiting some features that are standard on Android. However, we've added the most useful features on iOS version of the app like Live Caller ID and Spam Blocker and made them free.

We'd really appreciate it if you gave the app a try and rated it higher on the App Store. Your support means a lot to us! Feel free to share your thoughts with us at hi@getdrupe.com.

Have a great day!🫶🙂

### 1/5 — Removed the most important feature

*2024-01-16*

They removed the only useful feature, that is the ability to open in whatsapp a number that is not saved...

Ps: I will remove this review if they re add this

**Developer response:** Exciting update! 🌟 The latest app version fixes the dialer function, allowing messages to unsaved numbers. Update Drupe now! Share your thoughts at hi@getdrupe.com. Your feedback is invaluable. Don't forget to rate us higher. Thanks a bunch! 🚀💙

### 1/5 — New version is lousy

*2023-12-30*

The new version of Drupe is now useless to me
1. When I start listing my contacts, it automatically puts them in alphabetical order. BAD . One should be able to put them in the order that they want so you’re most important contacts are first. The previous addition let you put them in the order that you want. 
2. They suggested places like restaurants, etc. are absolutely useless. It only puts so many restaurants and certainly not the ones in my contact list so that’s useless.
3. when I drag one of my contacts over to make a call, it didn’t want to do it, it did nothing.
4. so, unless you can tell me how to revert my drupe back to a previous addition, I will no longer be using it.
5. When my contacts appear in drupe, the left part is off-center, so I can’t see the far left icon. That is an adjustment that needs to be taken care of in the software.

### 1/5 — Missing so much

*2023-11-13*

I loved the record a call and upload to drive.  The new contact.  Overall just more control of contact.   Not the same!

**Developer response:** Hi! We're delighted to hear you loved the call recording and Drive upload features. However, on iOS, Drupe has fewer features due to Apple's data restrictions. We're continuously working to enhance the app for iPhone users. If you have any questions or suggestions, feel free to reach out to us at hi@getdrupe.com. Thanks for your understanding! If you could rate us higher, we'd much appreciate it.  🌟

### 1/5 — Don’t waste your munty

*2023-09-17*

I kept reading all the hype so I finally downloaded and paid for pro, and this lame crap was so not worth it. Doesn’t do much of anything. Trying to merge duplicate contacts crashes app every time. Doesn’t dial doesn’t text it just tosses you into the apple apps to do that. Total joke.

**Developer response:** I am sorry to hear that the app did not meet your expectations. Did you check out the reviews on the Play Store or our website? Perhaps you have used the app on your Android device before? 

Due to Apple's data restrictions, Drupe has much more features on Android than on iOS. Unfortunately, this means that Drupe cannot be set as a default dialer on iOS, which can be frustrating. Despite all the limitations, we are constantly striving to find ways to improve our app for iPhone users and if you have any suggestions for improvement, please feel free to share them with us at hi@getdrupe.com. 

By the way, thank you for bringing up the issue with the crashes. Our team will definitely look into this.

### 1/5 — If you are coming from Android…

*2023-01-04, version 1.37*

… save your $$. Offering little of the functionality that makes the Android version of this app a must have the iPhone version has all of the looks but none of the punch. The android version can lookup unknown numbers and warn you about spam and scammers but this version lets you check by manually entering the number. Oooof. Feels like a massive downgrade.

### 1/5 — Can I receive calls using this app??

*2022-01-28*

I purchased this app thinking I would also be able to receive calls , now sure what’s the point of having a caller ID function if I cannot receive calls via this app??

### 1/5 — subscription

*2022-01-16, version 1.37*

i bought the lifetime on android but it doesn’t come over to iphone i would have to buy it again. if it followed me over i would rate it higher.

### 1/5 — I’m disSATISFIED 😡‼️

*2022-01-11, version 1.37*

I could have literally given this app ZERO star, if that was possible. 

Is it a SCAM or what? I have used drupe free version on all the android phones that I have used; and was HUGELY in love with the features…switching to iOS and seeing drupe here was a relief until I paid for the Pro-version today….and I was DISAPPOINTED.

IT IS 80% NOT THE SAME APP. The different in android and iOS is so much that one feels it’s not the same app.

HOW CAN I CANCEL THIS PURCHASE AND GET BACK MY CASH⁉️⁉️⁉️⁉️

### 1/5 — Not enough functionality for the price

*2021-08-05, version 1.37*

I used Drupe on my Pixel phones and loved it. Well worth the price. When I went to the iPhone 12 and found Drupe available I was very happy to immediately purchase the pro version. Then I found out half of the functionality was missing on iOS. So it’s not their fault that Apple doesn’t give access to “recents.” But how does Drupe charge the same for half of the functionality and not be up front about it.

**Developer response:** Drupe is for free now! We've added new features to Drupe iOS: Live Caller ID (iOS 17+) and Spam Blocker. These features help automatically identify calls and block spam. Please try them if you're iterested? Feel free to contact us at hi@getdrupe.com for more information.🫶
