I get it, safety is the best, but not when you can’t contact your own FRIENDS AND MY OWN MOM! Apple, if you can read this, I’m here to say, please fix the flagship. ### 3/5 — Way to sensitive *2026-08-18, version 2.7* 80% of your screen is covered by contacts and one misclick and suddenly you're trying to explain to the group chat about why you called them at midnight. Make a window that makes sure that's who you want to call but don't include it on the number pad. Only in the call center can you do a misclick and call your boss from work ### 4/5 — I like it but *2026-08-12, version 2.7* Can u make it were it rings and does normal stuff with out a phone number ### 4/5 — A little help please *2026-08-11, version 2.7* Good app but my friend can't call me bc it says she "showed nude body parts" even though I didn't see ANYTHING if u see this call, please try to undo what u did to my bestie ### 1/5 — Not impressed! *2026-08-08, version 2.7* Okay, no offense apple but I do not have an iPhone and I want to use my iPad to call people. I literally can’t! So I suggest enabling calls other than FaceTime. ### 2/5 — hacked *2026-08-08, version 2.7* this app has been used to hack and spy on my phone ### 1/5 — Argyll07 *2026-08-06, version 2.7* Argyll07 ### 3/5 — SIM Card *2026-08-05, version 2.7* i am pretty sure we need a SIM Card ### 2/5 — Beware *2026-08-04, version 2.7* i cannot vouch for some features described such as Live. i can't find a menu or settings. you can inly receive calls from 1 single app platform, ie if choose cellular calls you cannot receive Whatsapp, telelegram, etc calls. you must open the separate app to takethecall ### 1/5 — Can’t turn off government notifications *2026-08-04, version 2.7* I should be allowed to make the decision to turn off the notifications and not be forced to hear them when they’re 99.9% useless and not anywhere near me like I have the internet I can see things before you send out notifications which is why they’re useless because I’m just going to ignore it because of the amount of nonsense that gets sent out that I now believe that they don’t say anything useful. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Bad UI *2026-08-24, version 2.7* UI needs to be improved still behind ### 1/5 — App icon disappeared *2026-08-22, version 2.7* WTF - the app icon is now some strange target icon.

Also I can’t remove this. It is like a virus. I don’t want everyone’s access to my phone records. Why would they do this? ### 1/5 — Hacking *2026-08-15, version 2.7* I have some perv hacking into this app downloading all types of developer things on my phone to spy on me, harass me, and forward my calls.
