It would be great if you could email me at spelgasoftware@gmail.com to explain why you've rated the app in this way. The more feedback we have the better. If it has to do with automatic call logging, Apple does not allow PhoneLog to have access to the call history on your iPhone, but you can make calls from within the app to save you retyping the number. I have tried to make this clear in the app description on the App Store, but if you are still not happy with the purchase, Apple can provide a refund if you request it from them. Please contact them through the App Store - these instructions might help: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204084 Thanks David Spelga Software ### 1/5 — This product is useless!! *2015-07-06* As long as you don't mind manually logging the caller's name and telephone, this app is fine. But if you're looking for an application that automatically stores your incoming and outgoing calls for you to query at a later date, this is not the product for you! **Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback. I'd love to make PhoneLog automatically log your calls, but Apple does not allow apps to have access to the call history on your iPhone, but you can make calls from within the app to save you retyping the number. ### 3/5 — Alles gut, bis auf *2020-01-26* dier Synchronisierung mit Dropbox ist Schweine langsam. Ich würde mir da lieber iCloud Sync wünschen mit etwas mehr Tempo! ### 4/5 — Is not automatic. Manual enter calls *2021-04-16* I don’t see any way that this make a log of your calls. You must enter them manually. A waste of $8. I could do that on excel. **Developer response:** Hi Pilot1mitch Thanks for your feedback. Apple does not allow PhoneLog to have access to the call history on your iPhone so there can be no automatic logging of calls, but you can make calls from within the app to save you retyping the number. I'd add this feature in a heartbeat if it were possible. The app does have other features, though, such as syncing your call list to other devices, integration with your contact list etc. I have tried to make all this clear in the app description on the App Store, but if you are still not happy with the purchase, Apple can provide a refund if you request it from them.

I love how it syncs across Mac and iPhone/iPad. The only thing I’d love to see is the ability to import and analyze phone call recordings to auto-populate the fields afterward (especially helpful for calling a support center). That said, I had exceptionally impressive support when I needed it! They quickly implemented an accessibility improvement to the software when I raised it up. They even let me know the update made it to the App Store. I honestly can’t remember the last time a single person company was so engaging and responsive. ### 5/5 — Great for business *2020-09-26* Easy to use good layout and syncing with other iOS devices ### 5/5 — Where have you been all my life? *2020-09-03* I finally found what I’ve been looking for. A customizable app that’s intuitive, smart and well executed. My only regret is that it took way too long to find it. I particularly like that I can assign a call as a Reminder for follow up or an Event and it’s automatically populated in my Calendar app. Yes, you’ll need to manually enter the call with all the information you need...no big deal. The easy part is transcription of your call notes to text. And for those of you that are whining about calls not being automatically logged...there is no such app that will do that. Apple does not allow it. I truly believe you too will love PhoneLog as much as I do once you install it and start using it. Check it out! I forgot to mention their technical support is unbelievable. Dark mode was not behaving properly and it was fixed so fast it made my head spin. ### 5/5 — It’s Perfect!! And a couple of suggestions. *2020-01-10* I emailed the following to you but figured I should post this for others to see in the hope that you gain customers. I have downloaded and used hundreds upon hundreds - probably a thousand apps by now over the years and this by far is in the top 5. Very well created - sturdy - doesn’t crash Easy to find your way around Has all the information you’re looking for Syncs across all of my devices Suggestion: Maybe when a phone call is literally coming in, then you have the option to actually set it to open up the program so you don’t forget to type in notes or to take the time to find the app on your computer? Also, I so wish, like you on an Android, that you can easily record phone calls that come in. But with Apple, as you probably know, you have to do a three way phone call which is really annoying. I figured out a way to use a tape recording and to literally hook up the recorder to the phone to record both sides of the conversation. But with Android, you can literally just tap “record”. SO much easier. If you could figure out a way to get around that and include that with your program maybe (like Phone Log Plus), you would make a killing!! But so impressed with you. I wonder if you make other programs. I have only written 2 or 3 emails to app creators over the years so this is not something I regularly do - especially when you the app is great. Keep up the great work! **Developer response:** Thanks for the great review! It’s always nice to hear from a satisfied customer. Your suggestions for enhancements are interesting and I’ll look into them. There are restrictions placed on what apps on the iPhone and iPad can do (usually to protect your privacy), but there may be something I can do. Thanks again. ### 5/5 — Great App *2017-09-01* This app can log all your calls, you just make your calls in the app, real simple. So when people complain that it is manual input they must be blind. Also I would like to say is there support is a 10 if I could list a 10. I just had a problem with syncing and they got it fixed. Great App and great support, what else could you ask for! And I hear that the iPhone version will be here real soon Can’t wait! Update now with iPhone support, Great Job!!! ### 5/5 — Great App! *2017-05-13* I purchased Phonelog Pro for the Mac quite a while ago, and loved it. I logged thousands of calls that I was able to refer back to for reference. A few months ago I converted from Macs to HP workstations, as I am convinced Apple is not coming out with a viable upgrade to the Mac Pro anytime soon. However, I am still using my iPhone. Needless, to say the App I missed most on the Mac was Phonelog Pro. A short time ago I purchased a iPad Pro. One of the first Apps I purchased from the App Store was "Phonelog Pro for iPhone and iPad". It's terrific and even better than I remember. It is beautifully designed and the only limitations it has are the constraints put on it by Apple. It is very customizable and very intuitive. There is nothing else that compares with it in either the macOS or Windows 10 platform. And support is top rate and a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend it, it is well worth the money. ## Most praised reviews (2 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Brilliant app! *2015-03-23* I’ve been using the desktop version of this app for years so when I discovered an iOS version was available, I bought it immediately. It’s brilliant, it means I can now log my calls on any device and everything syncs wonderfully via Dropbox. ### 5/5 — Great job *2014-10-27* Also very impressed with how quickly my questions were answered when I had them!
