Price: Free

Truecaller: Android Apps Written Review

Truecaller, a recently released online phonebook and unwanted call blocker app, is available for free on Android. This popular app offers quite a few features for mobile phone users, along with access to a neat online phone book. Worth checking out? Let’s take a look!

Features
As with its appearance on other systems like iOS, Truecaller shines with its simple, yet elegant set of features. Users can quickly search for others through the online phone book, view and edit security settings, block spam numbers, and take part in the integrated social media features. The app has over 700 million names with numbers, thanks to the collaborative approach taken by the developers for adding in new contact info via users. Truecaller allows you to place certain numbers on blocked list, tag numbers as ‘spam’, and even view a list of most-commonly spam tagged numbers. Each individual in Truecaller has a True points number and a Spam points number. The True number points to the number of connections this individual has in Truecaller (popularity status anyone?) There is also options to sync your device directory with either the global directory or the Facebook directory. Furthermore, you can view and edit your own listing, once you have verified your own phone number through Truecaller. Finally, Truecaller lives up to its description as a ‘collaborative phone directory’ through its People section, where you can see people you may know through your contacts connections. Thus, the real power of Truecaller is fully realized when you have many of your friends uploading contacts through it as well.

The developers also offer support via a swell website, available here.
