Finally! *2023-09-01* Simple, straightforward and perfect! I play by sound so what I do is bring my earbuds out on the hunt, listen to the audio from the app and repeat it with my diaphragm, box, or slate. I’ve been looking for something like this for years. Awesome!!! Thanks! **Developer response:** Perfect usage of Turkey Calls! So glad you love it. ### 5/5 — Réaliste *2023-04-15, version 10.9* Son très réaliste. Application facile à utiliser ### 5/5 — Best Gobbler call’s ever I’ll keep using them because Gobblers loves my calls *2023-04-15, version 10.9* On iPhone been using gobbler calls they love them calls ### 2/5 — Too many ads *2023-03-26, version 10.9* I’ve used this for years, but now they’ve stuck ads in between calls. I deleted. ### 5/5 — It’s not just for HUNTING turkeys… *2023-03-22* This app is not just for the turkey hunters… It’s great for those of us who just wish to attract the birds and enjoy their presence as an observer of nature. It works SO well to make the birds comfortable when I’m photographing them. Thank you for making this app! And for those people who are complaining about the price of the app to remove the ads… Good grief…. it’s certainly worth a lot more than two bucks!! **Developer response:** Never thought Turkey Calls would be used for photography! Now I do! Thanks so much for the support! ### 5/5 — Learning *2023-01-12, version 10.8* Fantastic way to learn about Turkey Calls. When I saw the salesman from bass pro shop with this app, I knew it was good. ### 3/5 — Force close *2022-10-02* Great app calls are great. I do wish some of them had a little less background echo. The turkeys noticed those calls during my recent hunt so I only used the calls that do not have that. My biggest complaint is after I purchased the no add version it constantly force closes and will not open. Bummer. I have already deleted and re download turned everything off etc no luck. Looking for a replacement. **Developer response:** Have you experience this issue still? Please give Turkey Calls another try! ### 5/5 — This app is awesome!!! Highly recommend *2022-05-05* I’m just now really getting to turkey hunting. This app purrfect for me. Kinda like the apps out there to teach you another language. I can play the sound and try to mimic it with my call. Everything is categorized and explained when the turkeys would use each sound. Awesome job creator I love this!! ### 5/5 — Calls *2022-04-30, version 10.5.4* Very good quality calls good app! ### 5/5 — Great calls *2022-04-19, version 10.5.4* Even works great when the Grand Kids need a little distraction. Worth every bit of $1.99! ### 5/5 — Good calls *2022-04-12* Good calls for free, if you don’t want to buy the app for ad free just put your phone on airplane mode. Ads can’t pop up without internet. 🤯 ### 5/5 — Love this app *2021-10-26, version 10.5.3* I use this App to improve my calls using my Box turkey caller. Kind of like tuning a guitar or piano. ### 2/5 — It closes! *2021-10-05, version 10.5.3* I’ve used this app for a couple of years and have removed ads. But now the app just closes when I tap a type of call. What’s the deal? It closes every time. I’ve deleted it and downloaded it again but it still closes. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Jwk *2025-08-26, version 11.6* Was a good app. Now ads pop up every other call ### 1/5 — Update!!I am okay with the ads *2025-05-09, version 11.6* I am okay with the ads but it really defeats the purpose of free turkey sounds if one out of ten of the ads have sound!! It kind of scares the birds away!!!! Update to app developer response. You should probably read your first paragraph of your basic guide because it says to hook phone to external speaker. Says nothing about not to be used to call in birds!!! ### 1/5 — Ads are terrible *2025-05-07, version 11.6* Trying to use turkey calls on full volume in the field is awesome when Facebook or cooking ads pop up!!!!! Not cool!! ### 1/5 — I am okay with the ads *2025-04-17, version 11.6* I am okay with the ads but it really defeats the purpose of free turkey sounds if one out of ten of the ads have sound!! It kind of scares the birds away!!!! ### 1/5 — Advisor is a rip off *2024-11-01, version 11.3* I purchased 5 Adviser credit. Set my location on the map and clicked Begin…. Nothing happened. I repeatedly clicked the Begin button with nothing happening and after the 5th click was told I was out of credits!! Total rip off ### 1/5 — Terrible *2022-04-29, version 10.5.4* Terrible ### 1/5 — Why would you put ads in it *2021-07-12, version 10.5.3* I know this happened to a few people that had this app but I was trying to look for turkeys to see if they are still there for hunting season using this app, then a add comes blaring on my phone, welp if a turkey was there it sure is long gone from the property. ### 1/5 — Okays adds with sound during call. *2021-04-04, version 10.2.1* Garbage app ### 1/5 — Did not work for us at all *2021-03-04, version 10.0* I don’t know if I’m the exception or the rule. We cannot get this app to work at all. There are no sounds. We’ve tried from iPhone 6s to 10. Installed app/ reinstalled & rebooted phones, blah blah blah. We’re on a fiber network & fast WiFi so I would assume it’s not network speed. Anyway, worst two bucks I ever spent. Can’t expect much for two bucks right? ### 1/5 — Sad the developer ruined the app *2020-11-08, version 10.0* This is such a nice free app with good sounds but I’m not even exaggerating there is an add every 10 seconds and the add lasts for 10 seconds. There are other free apps so I will be using those not wasting my money to remove the adds here sad ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great way to learn *2025-10-10, version 11.6* I love this app. As an intermediate caller, I use this app to learn all year round. It’s illegal to use it for hunting where I hunt, but for learning, this is much more effective than continuous searching in YouTube videos. Highly recommended. ### 5/5 — Very Nicely Done *2025-07-09, version 11.6* I use the app to practice my calling. With some time and work, it has greatly helped. ### 5/5 — Turkey call *2025-01-30, version 11.3* Love it use it all the time to practice calling ### 5/5 — Excellent!! *2024-04-24, version 11.2* Works great every time ### 5/5 — Improved calling *2024-04-19, version 11.2* This app is very helpful in getting calls correct and perfecting your calling. ### 5/5 — Turkey Call *2024-04-15, version 11.2* Fun to play with! ### 5/5 — Best Call app ever *2024-04-13, version 11.2* Easy to use great calls works every time ### 5/5 — Great App *2024-04-04* Used this app on my phone while out in the woods on Easter, ended up connecting on a Tom about 15 yards away. Totally blown away. Would highly recommend using this app especially if your calling is horrible. Sounds very realistic. ### 5/5 — They work but not permitted in Ohio. *2024-04-03, version 11.2* Done. Thank ### 5/5 — Turkey calls *2024-03-28* My turkey calling has improved dramatically by listening to these calls .
