I love almost everything about this app, but if you guys are gonna incorporate a recording function, I'd highly recommend upping your game in that department. I can barely make sense of any of my recorded messages.. And I'd love to see you come out with more info boxes for the contacts, as well. Nice job overall, tho. **dropping to 2 stars, because it ends/drops any ongoing call I have immediately, if a number calls me that's set to auto-reject. PLEASE fix this!! I paid for the full V, too.

In my opinion, this app is pointless to even try unless you're prepared to continuously spend money on a recurring basis. Aside from that, the overlay is too invasive in conjunction with other apps when receiving a call or post-call. You cannot use Dialer Codes with this app either, which is a requirement for my lifestyle. The description is full of lies concerning the claim of having so many themes to choose from. There are a few colors to choose from that are extremely basic; you have to purchase anything that would even remotely be constituted as a theme. Greed has ruined people and a decent proportion of the Android experience.

I uninstalled this app because: Unless I'm mistaken when I had this app on my previous phone it was possible to block numbers with the free version. Now it requires the pro version. And much worse than that it disabled the blocking feature in the phone and contacts app that was pre-installed on my phone. Once I uninstalled Drupe, I was able to block calls again.

I like the way this app looks and operates - i like the feature that allows it to switch automatically from earpiece to speaker phone when i move the phone to look at the screen. what i don't like is that now when i set this app as the default dialer it seriously degrades the quality of my phone calls both for me and whomever i am talking to - it sound muffled and flat - i don't know why this happens but i have had to switch back the the integrated dialer for now. i am using a note 9

Mostly good. Randomly moves contacts into favorite category & then to have spend several minutes trying to un-favorite them. Cannot get it to scan cards, etc - seems to be some kind of trick to getting it to work & I don't know what it is. So I end up using the default contact app to do that and then waiting until drupe can bring it in. cannot edit contacts. if i try to edit, make changes and press done, it discards the changes. it is getting more frustrating.

I purchased the paid version thinking this dialer will be as good as it sounds, but unfortunately it is not worth it (no better that the standard dialer). In fact many of the settings I expected. are not available, e.g. to control priorities that determines what happens during calls, duch as not receiving notification sounds during calls, another example is the inability to erase or manage the record of the log, another problem is that it stucks loading very often during which one can't use it.

I went ahead and decided to accept the permissions & try the app out. I really wanted the shortcuts interface/features more than anything else. I tried adding to home screen or as a launchable shortcut but after the "successful" toast notification, nothing happens. Rebooted phone, no change. This app has disappointed me twice now, unfortunately. ☹️

10 out of 10. really a great organizer. the themes are great and I love having maps, calender, and e-mail on here. I just hit drupe and away I go. also I love the reminders. let's me know what's happening by popping up on the home page. a suggestion would be to be able to add my own apps. to reminders. very well done on this. I've had this for years had to get 2 new phones and I was freakin I would loose this app.

Used to be an excellent dialer for my Samsung Z-Flip 3. In the last several months, the app began malfunctioning. The overlay screen gets stuck, not allowing navigation away from it. The dialer gets stuck as well, not switching to the call screen. Trying to swipe back to the Android home screen is broken. If there have been updates to the app, they haven't addressed these issues. It feels like abandonware now. A year ago, I'd have recommended this app. Today, I'd look for an alternative.

I've always had problems with Drupe. it's strength is in its ability to organize all communication apps in one place. on the last update it's scrambled names with the telephone numbers of other people. it also says it's dialing one telephone number and it dials another. I'm going to have to find another app. I just hope my notes aren't lost

It's a creative concept and seems to be well put- together so I give them points for that. If you consider the effort to do all of the different actions it does I suppose it's a Time Saver. But considering 95% of the time I'm either calling or texting someone it feels less convenient and less ergonomic to do a big swipe to a specific destination then just a swipe left or right or touch a call or text button

This used to be my favorite app, but after the recent updates, the "after call experience pop-up" option is not working anymore, no matter how I allow the app to display over the other apps etc, doesn't work anymore, and the app keeps crashing randomly which make me miss phone calls..... That's why I went from 5 stars to 2, Please fix the issues. Thank you

My experience was not what I expected. First things first... I really liked the app and the functionality of it. The app had a bunch of themes and was very customizable. Good interface. Unfortunately, it started to give my phone (Samsung Ultra s21) glitches. My phone would freeze up a few times a day and I would have to reboot. Good app, but not for my phone. 😒

Was a great app, but recent update made it glitchy. It would put the dialing screen behind the contact screen and you couldn't hang up the phone without sliding the notification bar down and hanging up from there. I had to uninstall it. I paid for the pro app too. I don't know who needs to hear this but you need to walk back your updates.

I love this app but, i rated it 4 stars out of 5 because it doesnt have a voicemail feature to give a ringtone when you get a missed call and the caller leaves a voicemail message. I'm adding to this review because now when I hang up with someone after a phone call, ads automatically show up on the bottom of the screen! I don't know if it started because of the new year or what but, it never happened before until this month! How do I stop it without paying for premium?

I have used the paid version of this dialer for years. Lately the app has been buggy. When I make a call, the call details don't display on screen (speakerphone, keypad, options aren't available). Since the call isn't visible, I can't hang up from the screen, I have to use the drop down and find the call in my notifications to hang up from there. After a call, the screen remains frozen on the contacts page and hitting the home key on my phone does not return me to my home screen.

Was a great dialer (5*), now it locks me out of using other apps while on a call unless I "exit" (hide) the dialer. I used to be able to toggle (up swipe) it to the background just like any other app. Also, the contact screen overlays the call screen while on a call. 4-15-24 Update: developer feedback was to uninstall and reinstall the app, and that worked initially. 4-30-24 Update: back to having the same problems. I'm going back to the Google stock dialer until they fix this permanently.

They destroyed their own app. This was a perfect phone dialer for so long, and even though complaints are ongoing for months, they refuse to revert back to a version that actually works. Why not fix your issues in the background instead of destroying what works so well? The current app hijacks my phone and doesn't let me get off of a useless screen. I reached out, and they gave me a link to the old version, but the site was a breeding ground of spammy ads. Needless to say, I didn't feel safe.

I've been using Drupe for years and have always bragged to friends and family about the extras and the convenience of it. It's lately been crashing and freezing my phone up. I've actually had a hard time getting out of the program and have to shut down my phone to stop the issue. It displays like half of the dialer screen and half of the contacts screen, and totally locks up. Been happening for about 2 months at least. I'm getting ready to delete the app altogether if this doesn't get fixed!

I've used this dialer for years and have always loved it. However, the past few months have been so glitchy. The biggest issue being that when I make a call the contacts overlay covers the call information, so I can't press the keyboard or turn on the speaker or hang up the call. Super frustrating and will probably uninstall and find something new.
