The program Getcontact, which combines handling contacts, spam filtering, and caller ID, has drawn mixed reviews from users. While many have praised its ease of use, others are worried about privacy and data usage.

A synopsis of the key ideas is as follows

Benefits:

  • Caller ID and Spam Filtering: GetContact helps block junk calls and messages and efficiently identifies unfamiliar calls.
  • Easy to Use: Most people agree that the application is easy to use and navigate.
  • Second Number Service: Users can get an additional phone number using the app without needing a second SIM card.
  • Chats: The application offers both video and voice call capabilities along with free, secure, end-to-end chats, including group and one-to-one conversations.
  • Voice Assistant: GetContact provides users with the option of forwarding calls to a personal assistant, who can answer and provide notifications on the caller ID and the purpose of the call (available in a few countries).

Cons:

  • Privacy Concerns: Some users actually complain that the app takes their contact information and manages it in a certain way.
  • Data Usage: Users are actually concerned that the app takes their data and hands it over to third parties.
  • Blocking Expected Calls: Some users have complained that the app blocks the usually forthcoming calls even when they logged out or disconnected from it.
  • Intruding Names: Users have noted that they are unable to edit or delete the information on their cell phones and that they may be saved with names that they believe to be intrusive.
  • Ads: Some people think the app has too many advertisements, especially pop-up ones.
  • Absence of Support: It is said to be difficult to contact support and have issues fixed.
  • Forced Login: Several customers have expressed dissatisfaction with being forced to use their Google account or email address as the primary phone dialer and being urged to do so instead of their phone number.
