## What is Robo Call Screener?

Take back control of your phone calls:

- Have our robot answer your robocalls so you don't have to
- Screen humans from robots without having to pick up the phone
- Live transcription and text responses give you the flexibility to respond when you can't talk

How it works:

1. When you get an unknown call, decline it and it will be screened by our app
2. Our robot will ask the caller who they are and why they are calling 
3. Their response will be transcribed in real time
4. You can choose to answer, decline, or respond.
5. Our robot can speak any responses that you type so you don't have to pick up the phone

After the call, the transcript is saved so you can come back to it at anytime.

### 1/5 — didn’t work can’t stop

*2023-03-07*

i downloaded this for less than a full day, it never worked properly. even worse, i can’t disable it. it gives a notification before you log out to “make sure to disable call screening for your voicemail to work properly” and yet i can’t find where to disable it.

### 1/5 — Don’t recommend if your not tryna spend cash

*2023-01-18, version 1.0.4*

I love this app it’s just you have to pay money and I found a way better app it’s called call hero crm you should download that app instead of this stupid app that you have to pay for download that app

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2022-10-19, version 1.0.4*

just doesn’t work. tried several times to set up but it doesn’t do anything to screen my calls. it states in the set up there’s a certain way to delete this app but I can’t even read the full description.

### 2/5 — Awesome concept, but it’s not working properly

*2022-10-12, version 1.0.4*

This is exactly what I have been looking for. I tested it out and there are no notifications (even though notifications were enabled for the app) when I received a call. You have to open the app in order to see anything. So it’s useless for calls since you don’t know when you are getting one. 
If the app is opened you do get the live transcript which works pretty well. Typing your responses is awesome and works really well too. Too bad none of this works unless your in the app when you get a call. 
Also if you do not answer the call it will keep the caller on the line forever. It should ask for the callers name and purpose and if within a certain time the user doesn’t answer or respond then it should ask them to leave a message (which should also cause a notification when a message is left) and there should be an option to listen to audio for voice mails. Currently this does not support voicemail aside from an endless transcript of nothing until the caller hangs up. 
I would love this app to work, but it’s not right now. I hope it gets better and I can try it again.

### 1/5 — Nice

*2022-05-31, version 1.0.4*

It won’t even install

### 1/5 — Messed up Voicemail

*2022-03-17, version 1.0.4*

This sounded good. Installed and setup, then I noticed my voicemail no longer works. People call in and hear that I am using a screening service but are not able to leave a voicemail. After I uninstalled it I still can’t fix it. This all in the first day. Not happy with this, now we have no idea how to fix this.

### 3/5 — Not working

*2021-07-29, version 1.0.4*

Downloaded the apps with high hopes it would work like advertised. I setup my number and followed all directions. When I used another line to test the function, I received the message about caller is using a service that has not been setup yet. I emailed the company and hopefully they can help me. 3 stars for now until this is resolved.

### 5/5 — Really fun feature to have

*2021-03-01, version 1.0.4*

Super useful with so many annoying robo calls, but you still need to be able to pick up calls for deliveries and ride shares.

### 3/5 — It seems nice

*2021-02-16, version 1.0.4*

I read the reviews and it seems like a good app but I give it 3 stars because I couldn’t get past the creat account page. It asks for my phone number but never sends the code needed to continue.

### 5/5 — Amazing app

*2021-01-29, version 1.0.2*

This app is so cool, it’s so easy to use and I get a lot less spam calls. It’s user friendly and so easy to set up. Overall a great app that I think everyone should use.
