Also it crashes every time I try to change the ring tone. The free version also crashes when I try to change the ring tune but it's usable because there's no video constantly playing, in going to find a different program, unless they fix this one ### 1/5 — Bad *2012-04-23* Crashes every time opened. Waste of $. ### 1/5 — Trash *2012-01-02* Don't waste your money or your time! Wish I could rate zero stars but 1 is the minimum. ### 1/5 — Don't buy *2011-11-24* Crashes when selecting a different ring tone and keeps playing an annoying FaceTime vid. ### 1/5 — Terrible... *2011-06-20* This app is awful! Don't waste your money on it... ### 1/5 — This app stinks!! *2011-04-24* First of all I am NOT a dude, and I will not get over there. Second of all who is Tommy White? Third of all don't waste your time getting this app save your money and buy something else!!!!! ### 3/5 — Boo! *2011-08-16* The FaceTime rocks!, but it keeps playing the video over & over update! I hate that. Just get fake a call it's better with fake FaceTime calls! ### 3/5 — good app but needs fixing *2010-11-19* good app but facetime crashes the app everytime ### 3/5 — Having a hard time figuring it out *2010-05-10* If you are really iPhone "savy" then you might do well, for me the novice, this is kind of worthless. But it's only 99 cents. ### 3/5 — Hidden on page 4 *2009-06-02* Like it a lot! One problem I see is the VERY obvious "Fake Caller" icon ID. If the app is that blatant & people see the icon, it won't fly. Also no way 2 save calls 4 future use. App has 2 be activated 2 work. You can't use anything else & if u do u have 2 reset it. Great concept, few bugs. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Awesome app... just love it *2010-09-23* Its a cool app which is a life saviour in many situations. Fun to play around with and useful when you need to get out of trouble. For sure it doesn't crash. Total worth the price! ### 5/5 — Super Fun and Usefull app!! *2009-12-04* I enjoy this app alot, i think that is very usefull specially for people like me that have an ipod touch instead of the iphone... it can get you out of tricky situations pretending someone is calling you... amazing... a must have!!!!! and super cheap... love it ### 5/5 — Cool *2009-07-09* Good but it needs more ringtones and a voice that plays when you answer. ### 5/5 — suggestion *2009-06-26* it even works with iTouches(only if the person you're faking thinks it's an iPhone!) I think that during the call that u should be able to use the keypad, it would make the prank more realistic. ### 5/5 — Luv it!!!!!! *2008-12-28* Bad dates r a thing of the past and I also tricked my friends to believe I got an I pod touch to make calls haha ### 5/5 — Fantastic app with a few blips on the radar - a must have. *2008-11-29* This is a well designed and packaged application, with intuitive controls just like any well made Mac program. The timer broke with the release of OS v2.2, but a prompt response from customer service with hours reassured me that a fix was being released with in days. True to their word it took about three days. Their are only three minor blips that shouldn't stop anyone from purchasing this app: (1) the ring volume is rather low [there should be a volume control], (2) there is a rather limited choice of ring tones, and finally (3) limitations in the OS prevent the phone ringing and lighting up immediately like a real call until you hit the home button. However, if you sheild the phone from casual viewing nobody should know the difference. This reviewer can only give this application 5 stars even though it is a reall 10, and hope that the minor glitches are resolved in future updates as they continue to improve the application. ### 4/5 — Annoying but fun *2011-11-14* It was fun but it kept on making this annoying beeping sound whenever I finish a fake call. Plus, it keeps on playing the FaceTime video even when I was waiting for the fake call. As the title said: Annoying but fun ### 4/5 — Cool, but needs a few additions. *2010-05-11* It needs a way to pre-record a message that will play when you answer the "phone". I would also like to be able to crop the caller photos. Other than that, cool app! ### 4/5 — Update! *2010-04-16* My caller image always turns blurry but otherwise it's a pretty good app ### 4/5 —  app but.. *2009-06-20* I like this app. Just remember to switch to vibrate once you "fake it" because if you really get a call the phone will ring while it's next to your ear --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
