Comments on Call Announcer for Android

★★★★★ New Version Thanks for removing the icon and your great customer service. This is a good app to have. Been using it for quite a few years.

★★★★★ Just what I needed My new Galaxy S7 didn't have option to announce calls like my old S3 did. Had trouble getting it to work but got fast response from support. I had to change the default settings to say anything but "Call from xxxx" Once I made a change and saved it everything worked fine. Love that I can customize the options to announce which callers and SMS senders are annouced and that I can turn off temporarily just by putting my phone face down. Would recommend this app.

★★☆☆☆ Not announcing name App announcing only Number even if it is avble in contacts. I tried various settings. I am using mi3 on miui mm6 rom

★★☆☆☆ Annoying icon Used this app for 12 months and it does what I want it to. The latest update comes with an annoying icon that clutters the task bar and can't be turned off. Requires a way of removing the icon otherwise I will delete app for another caller announcer.

★★☆☆☆ Hate the update Hate the 3.0.2 update which introduces the notification service with the notification icon. Must have option to get off this icon.

★★☆☆☆ Doesn't work on HTC One Stopped working with the latest update. Useless, avoid!
