Brief

TrueCaller is developed by True Software Scandinavia AB and is offered for download both on Google Play and Apple stores. Unfortunately, there is no option for Windows Phone users, but we will see what the future brings, maybe a Windows version of this app will roll out in the near future.

TrueCaller is a highly popular app on Google Play Store and is reviewed by more than 13 million users. It has a rising rating of 4.4 and the reviews are mostly positive. The Apple version is less popular than the Android one, but it still maintains a high rating of 4.5, even better than the Android one.

Main Features

● Block spam – Are you fed up with telemarketing SMS and spam-calling? No more worrying, you can block any single call just as soon as the connection is established.

● ID the number – If you do not like picking up calls from strangers, simply go to the call history and identify any number that has been already registered.

● Friends – TrueCaller gives you the ability to check if your friends are using the same app. Simply open up the contacts and the TrueCaller app will show by itself if a registered number is on its platform.

● Identify any unknown caller – Most of the ID apps fail in this category, but not the TrueCaller app. Since it has the largest database, there is a very high chance that a given number is already registered in its database. Meaning, you will have zero trouble identifying an incoming call.

● Flash messaging – TrueCaller features free chatting options for friends and family. This means that the feature itself is free, not the SMS.

● Location sharing – Just like Google Location, you can now share your location with your trusted friends and leave it for however much time you want.

Pros

● Message identification – Identify any given SMS automatically with TrueCaller. This feature does not need to be activated, all incoming messages will have credentials taken straight from the TrueCaller database.

● Block any calls and messages – You have the ability to block any telemarketing call or SMS and never be bothered with it again.

● Block calls by number or number series – If you want to block a specific number, simply click on it and block it easily. However, the numbers can also be blocked by number series, making the overall removing process more convenient.

Cons

● Database access – Some people may call it a con, but we do not see it as such. Giving permission to the TrueCaller app is definitely necessary for it to function properly.

Conclusion

If you want a nice calling app on your phone and do not mind sharing your contacts and sensitive data, TrueCaller is your best bet. It has more than 500 million downloads and is widely trusted by its users all over the world.
