Intro

Phone by Google is a sleek, intuitive application designed to revolutionize the way users interact with their smartphones. Developed by Google, it offers a streamlined interface that seamlessly integrates core communication features such as calling, messaging, and contact management. With a focus on simplicity and functionality, Phone by Google aims to be the go-to dialer app for Android devices, enhancing the everyday communication experience.

Function

The application presents a multitude of functionalities aimed at optimizing user engagement. Its key features include a smart caller ID that identifies unknown numbers, spam call protection to shield users from unwanted calls, and a built-in call blocking mechanism. Additionally, Phone integrates Google Duo for high-quality video calls, and its visual voicemail transcribes voice messages into text for easy reading. The app also allows for seamless switching between multiple SIM cards and supports caller ID personalization with customizable ringtones and contact photos.

User experience

Users of Phone by Google often commend its clean, minimalistic design that promotes ease of use. The app’s intuitive interface ensures quick access to frequently used functions, making communication efficient and hassle-free. Its integration with Google services streamlines the user’s digital ecosystem, allowing for a cohesive experience across platforms. The smart features like spam call detection significantly reduce interruptions, enhancing overall user satisfaction.

Advantage

One of the prime advantages of Phone by Google is its deep integration with the Android operating system, which results in smooth performance and reliable updates. The app’s advanced call filtering capabilities set it apart, effectively combating spam and scam calls. Its visual voicemail transcription feature is particularly useful for busy individuals who prefer reading over listening. Moreover, the inclusion of Google Duo within the app provides a one-stop solution for both voice and video calls, eliminating the need for separate apps.

Shortcoming

While Phone by Google offers a robust set of communication tools, it has been noted that some advanced features may not be available in all regions due to varying carrier support. Users with older Android versions might also experience limitations in functionality or compatibility issues. Furthermore, the app's reliance on data for certain features could be a concern for users with limited data plans. Lastly, although the app prioritizes simplicity, first-time users might find the setup process slightly overwhelming due to the myriad of permissions required.

Great Features, package manager UIX needs improvement. Some users, including myself, have experienced an issue regarding the offline voice recognition files; the status of the download is obscured, and the prevention of downloading over Data isn't mentioned. If offline voice recognition uses the same library as the assistant, my only request is a visible download bar or notification indicating if the download is in progress or halted. Otherwise, amazing software!

I like the feel and look of the stock Google phone app, compared to Samsung's. I like how it sounds like an old traditional dialer when keying in a phone number. The only feature it's missing is the swipe feature Samsung has; in the contact list view, you can swipe right to call the person and swipe left to text them. That feature would make the app PERFECT!

Voicemail notification will not go away. Good app otherwise. Just wish they would fix this annoying problem. Update: After doing some research, I discovered that this is a problem with the Verizon voicemail system and not with this app. I tried using a different phone app and experienced the exact same problem. This is a very good app that I will continue to use

Amazing. the transcript for voicemails and calls is definitely the most handy feature I can think of. Although, it is often incorrect and sometimes doesn't even work at all. It would also be nice if everything wasn't just one color, or if there were at least some customization options. Other than these issues, there is nothing wrong with this app and I wouldn't think about using another one.

One of those things that works so well, consistently reliable, and dependable, it integrates into your life to the point of never giving it a second thought until... It pops up out of the blue one day years later humbly requesting a rating... To which a natural bit of "knee jerk" initially thinks "seriously? Ur a phone, doing what phones do.. Like an arm or a leg doing what arms and legs do... And as that thought settles in, you the time you don't have and show some appreciation... GLADLY! (:

Google Play provides great service in providing useful apps. I have an older model phone and it was difficult for me to find a music app that functions properly and because of Google Play's wide variety of exceptional apps, I was able to find the app that worked best for my phone.

I am impressed with the pixel 7. I particularly like the way that I can communicate with other devices, that use other operating systems. Many options for fast file transfer to and from my Linux devices. Love Google photos, so many ways to improve my pictures.

I'm hoping this review is on the five star gas station in 127. I'll admit that to the naked eye it's another truck stop or shell station but honestly the staff have been extremely beneficial to the success of that store. From great selection of product to friendly service this place has become part of my daily routine. One customer service representative, Autumn, has been an extremely helpful and professional part of the team. She has went above and beyond on several occasion to assist me.

I don't know if this is the app that specifically is meant for the automatic answering, but I absolutely love it. The call screening it has relieved so much of my stress and anxiety. It is probably the best phone feature I've ever seen. Can actually answer phone calls and not be concerned and if it's spam they never respond and just hang up. I love it.

The phone on this Google pixel phone is incredible! As the voice prompt reads your options, it gives it to you in text! so you don't have to remember what number was which option! it's fantastic!
