I would have been happier throwing the $1.99 in the fire pit. Don’t waste your money. ### 4/5 — Add More Deer Calls *2019-05-20* I purchased on Friday and went turkey hunting on Saturday. The very first thing I went out to use it with a Bluetooth speaker and it was great! I had Hens coming in solo to the yelping call. Then on two separate occasions I had seven mature Tom‘s come in and I got two of them! What was really nice I could do a yelping call along with the gobbler call simultaneously! I looked at the deer calls that are on the app and did not see enough variety of deer calls on there that other apps have. I have used the Primos manual deer calling devices for many years and work great but this electronic version will enable me use a blue tooth speaker away from where I’m sitting which I believe will be in advantage. If they get more variety of deer calls on the app that would make it really great for deer hunting too! ### 2/5 — Not useful with diaphragms *2019-02-18, version 2.1.3* ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ it isn’t useful ### 4/5 — Calls *2019-02-06* Easy to use to learn the sounds. Would like to see it include owl sounds. ### 3/5 — You Get What You Pay For *2019-01-20* Not disappointed, got what I expected for $1.99 compared to a real ecaller. It’s a cheaper alternative. Would like to see some jackrabbit distress added the predator section ### 1/5 — Bluetooth *2019-01-05* I tried to play through my bluetooth speaker and i was connected to speaker but calls would only play throng phone. I tried playing music to check if the speaker was working and it worked, so the app won’t play through bluetooth. ### 1/5 — Background noise in app *2019-01-01* Disappointed in this app. You can hear office noise in the background of several calls, specifically the “Little Big Roar” in the deer calls. ### 3/5 — Not loud enough *2018-12-21, version 2.1.3* The volume of my phone (XS Max) is louder itself than if I were to connect to a Bluetooth speaker and play the audio. This should be fixed I try to call in coyotes all the time, but I have to switch to YouTube for the noises. ### 1/5 — Waste of money *2018-04-26, version 2.1.3* Some of the free apps have way more calls and actually work with a Bluetooth speaker. What a rip! ### 1/5 — I want my money back. *2017-09-28, version 2.0.0* I had this app for a week. Updated to iOS 11. And it won’t work. Or allow me to redownload. Don’t waste your money purchasing it. ### 1/5 — Needs update! *2017-09-26, version 2.0.0* Needs update! ### 2/5 — Need to be updated *2017-09-25* App won’t work with new iPhone update. And on top of that, electric animal calls are illegal to use in most states. Check before you use. ### 3/5 — Update Needed *2017-03-20* I like this app works great for calls I use it deer hunting all the time got some really good calls on here. I would like for it to be updated to iPhone 5.5" screens, also I would like for it to be updated to 64bit so it will run smoother and work better. Also I would like to see the calls updated and have more call included, also have the calls sound clearer with out the slight static in the background. I would like to see 3D Touch shortcuts and add a widget as well. Thank you ### 1/5 — Beeps at end of every call *2017-01-13* Calls are not loud enough and the Bluetooth does not work? It hasn't been updated in two years so they probably are not interested in fixing it. So it gets one star for the scrap pile. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Won’t play over Bluetooth *2023-12-09* Can only play sounds over phone not my bluetooth speaker. Had to switch to another app after paying for this. Clicked “get support” on App Store page but pulled up dead link. Calls would be great if I could use them on my speaker. ### 1/5 — Garbage no BlueTooth *2023-10-29, version 2.1.3* Won’t work by design on Bluetooth ### 1/5 — What the heck *2021-12-14* Sounds like someone blowing on a call in the office during work. I wouldn’t have purchased this if I knew the Quality was that poor. Hooked to my Bluetooth speaker and set out. 30 plus years of bringing deer down never heard them sound like that. Must be for northern or foreign deer ### 1/5 — Poor quality recordings *2021-10-17, version 2.1.3* Poor quality recordings App has glitches. Will be submitting for a refund ### 1/5 — Needs updated *2021-02-08, version 2.1.3* This is an amazing app but it isn’t compatible with the updated iPhone. ### 1/5 — Voices can be heard *2020-11-19, version 2.1.3* I can hear voices in the back ground of the calls... poor craftsmanship ### 1/5 — Stopped working *2020-11-16, version 2.1.3* I guess there haven't been any updates. Won’t work/load so money wasted. It was more of a novelty anyway ### 1/5 — Bluetooth does not work *2020-11-04, version 2.1.3* You keep saying its bluetooth able. How? Where do you go to connect it? I have tried everything. Is there anyway you can share how too ### 1/5 — App links do not work *2020-11-04, version 2.1.3* After numerous attempts to click the store option and be routed to a store, it fails every time ### 1/5 — SO NOT PURCHASE *2020-03-19, version 2.1.3* Does not work with Bluetooth speakers of any kind ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great App *2020-02-08* Has the best sound I’ve heard in an app but do wish Primos would add a few features. More calls for turkey and duck, and a repeat feature with a timer. ### 5/5 — It works *2018-11-10* Just grunted a 8pt buck over from 300 yds. Sprinted to me and stopped for a kill shot. Thanks primos!!!! ### 5/5 — Love this app!! *2018-01-04* Thank you for the recent updates. I bought this app when I first got an iPhone back in 2011. I still use this app. Had success calling in a flock of turkeys last spring. ### 5/5 — Forgot my calls! *2017-11-12* I forgot my calls so I downloaded this app and used the “The Great Big Can” call and within seconds I had deer running in! I could not even believe it! It brought in 2 does with a decent 8 point trailing right behind them. Best $1.99 ever spent. Thanks for the 8 point Primos! ### 5/5 — Update *2017-10-02* They really need to update this. It’s a great app to use they sound very realistic and has worked for me numerous times ### 5/5 — Primos calls *2016-02-14, version 2.0.0* Great app saved me lots of bucks. I play it through my Bluetooth speaker all the time ### 5/5 — Awesome *2015-01-28* I think this is the best app you can get if you are calling I usually use the squirrel and coyote call and I've had a lot of good luck with both of them ### 5/5 — Fantastic Update! *2014-07-28, version 1.4* I have had this app since it came out and I have thoroughly enjoyed it. I especially love the new SquirrelBuster call! Keep up the good work! ### 5/5 — Great needed update *2014-07-27, version 1.4* Great update, much easier to play the calls. ### 5/5 — Deer call lover *2013-11-17, version 1.4* I love how you can control most of the calls that you use by hand but most important all of the calls sound realistic but I wish you could also control the the ones you blow into and please make an update get this app --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
