I’m not even sure what the doe contact grunt is but it doesn’t sound like I deer, I personally had three does bolt after I tried it. Some of the calls are okay but half of them will scare more deer than they bring in. ### 4/5 — Works well *2018-11-02, version 1.0* The first two times I used this I got nothing. I was using it to frequently. Went to the tips and used the mild bleat. Out came to does and a buck. Only in the woods 40 minutes. ### 2/5 — No sound?? *2018-08-10, version 1.0* I’ll increase the rating if the sound starts working. Using iPhone 6 ### 2/5 — Not so good *2017-12-26, version 1.0* Only works as long as the app or phone stays open or on. ### 4/5 — Works *2017-11-15, version 1.0* Make sure your phone isn’t on silent or vibrate. Works great. ### 1/5 — ... *2017-11-11, version 1.0* The deer literally ignored this ### 4/5 — Sounds good *2016-11-26, version 1.0* Variety of good sounds, and I like the ability to repeat every minute etc. Well done. ### 4/5 — Good Almost Great *2016-11-05, version 1.0* The calls are really good, well done and they work! App would be great after a few minor UI issues. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Not working *2023-12-02, version 1.0* The calls don’t make noise. app is broken. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work on IPhone *2018-12-29, version 1.0* I had this app on my Samsung and it worked totally fine but on the iPhone sound doesn’t even come out ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work if phone is in silent mode *2018-12-25, version 1.0* Well here is my issue. I’m calling in this massive buck and then boom, some idiot calls my cell or sends me a text and my phone rings!!! Bucks don’t answer nor like cell phone rings. This app needs to be adjusted so that the calls work with the phone in silent mode. ### 1/5 — Nope *2018-12-03, version 1.0* No sound! ### 1/5 — Didn’t work at all *2018-11-19, version 1.0* Like others mine didn’t make any sound. Check volume made sure everything was on but still nothing ### 1/5 — No sound *2018-11-17, version 1.0* This app does not function ### 1/5 — Deleted *2018-11-16, version 1.0* No sound...get that to work and I may try it...disappointing! ### 1/5 — Won’t work *2018-11-01, version 1.0* It will work on headphones but not on the phone speaker. ### 1/5 — None of the calls even played *2018-10-24, version 1.0* Delete. None of the calls actually made sound. ### 1/5 — No sound!!! *2018-10-20, version 1.0* How can i use it if no sound! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Honest legit app. Good calls *2025-11-15, version 7.0.2* One of the only honest apps out there. Works like it says it does. Doesn’t just give you two and ask for a membership the rest. Has a nice timer feature to repeat calls in 45 sec intervals or whatever. No frills interface but it’s free and it works enough for me to leave a good review which I never do for anything. ### 5/5 — Amazing *2025-11-09, version 7.0.2* I got my first every deer with this app, recommend 10/10 ### 5/5 — Surprised me! *2023-11-03, version 1.0* So I was hunting, and a decent spike came in right behind me and started walking away, but with a breeding bellow he ran right back! If only I had time to grab my bow he would be a dead deer! ### 5/5 — Sound works *2018-11-16, version 1.0* I see a lot of people saying there’s no sound, but with iPhone you need to turn on your ringer!!! Don’t need to turn ringer volume up, just on. ### 5/5 — Surprised Me *2018-11-04, version 1.0* Didn’t think it would work but within 10 minutes of downloading the app I was able to call in three does using the contact grunt. ### 5/5 — Biggest buck *2018-10-25, version 1.0* I’ve been using this app the last 3 deer seasons in Michigan. Each year I have brought in a few bucks with it. I’ve been able to get the attention of a buck 250 yards away. I was shocked when I got the buck to turn around and come my way. This year (2018) I used the doe grunt call in a new stand, on new land, early bow season and I was able to bring in my biggest buck yet! This call app is by far the best and I’ve recommended it to so many others who have given positive feedback as well! ### 5/5 — Very good *2018-01-20, version 1.0* It works ### 5/5 — Love this app!! *2017-11-12, version 1.0* First time using this app! Did three of the doe in estrus calls about 30 minutes apart and right before we walked out of the woods I did the tending buck grunt and called in a decent sized buck about 3 minutes after!! The doe calls brought it to the area, the buck call brought it out!!! Awesome app! Wish the doe bleats were just a little louder though! ### 5/5 — Very helpful *2017-10-28, version 1.0* Nice clean calls. No background noise and very crisp. ### 5/5 — Worked great for me *2017-10-26, version 1.0* I had this app work for me when a buck was chasing some does by and I had the chance to call him back in and shot him with a bow. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
