Nice idea. Faulty execution Supposed to block spam calls. The rare case it does you get multiple notifications. No time saved dismissing those. Answer cards cannot be disabled and do not work with stock answer card. So there are two answer cards onscreen the user has to fight with. If they resolved the conflicts with the stock dialer and toned back the notifications then the rating would be a solid 4.5.

Does not block..especially scammers. Ok, so I had a scam "you won a free cruise" number I did not answer 2 weeks ago. I verified it was a scammer on the net, so I went to the phone number log and "blocked" it. Got the same scammers spiel today. What do you know? The number matches the blocked phone number that called 2 weeks ago. Can't tell if it is succefully blocking other numbers, but you can tell if it's not blocking.

Good Seems an overall decent and helpful app, as long as you don't mind Facebook collecting your call history usage. I haven't had any technical issues so far. More syncing options with your Contacts accounts would be nice.

Useless I set this to only show up for people NOT in my phonebook. Instead, it only functions for people already in my phonebook. I've tried all available settings to no avail. Who wants caller ID for people they already know?

I actually really like this. I often need to look up numbers and addresses on the go and this quickly finds pretty much all I've thrown at it. A few suggestions/requests : dark mode color scheme, ability to view texts recently sent to contact you're viewing (my stock caller and a few others I've tried can do this), the ability to choose which screen opens by default when app is launched.

It's a decent calling application. I like the Facebook profile sync so you know who's calling you. Though it seems like that feature only actually happens one out of 20 callers. The one improvement I want is to not get notified at all that a blocked number has attempted to called me. It may be brief but it will still interrupt any music that's playing and my Moto360 still buzzes.

The caller ID is good but I'm incredibly disappointed in how poorly the "Automatically block calls from numbers that have been blocked by a lot of other people." feature has worked out. I get a fair amount of random calls from numbers that have a ton of reports when you google them but not a single one has been blocked by Hello.
The app's kind of okay, but it shows some huge, weird phone numbers for my Facebook contacts, even if they're not sharing any phone info on their profiles. Calls from blocked numbers give a couple of rings and then are silenced, but you still get a notification of the call. Kinda stupid.
Asks me twice which dialer to use I place calls with both Hangouts Dialer and the Phone dialer. When using Hello's dialer I get asked twice which one I want to use which is incredibly annoying. Otherwise I enjoy the utility of this app. Just hope they fix this edge case.
A person was lift my information my cookies from my phone I use this to block numbers.I had many people using fake numbers. This a good app thank you it was a big help.
Lollipop Lookalike I love this app! If you have a non Nexus phone and want the Google style dialer, this does it. You can search for local business right from the dialer. Pulls all the info from their FB profile too. It's also free, so you got nothing to lose.
I hate the app it sucks I blocked several numbers the calls still come through Call blocker sucks Facebook has false app's also I see.I had to file a report with Google
Very basic and badly implemented Cannot assign speed dial to contacts. T9 search sucks. Only good thing is swipe to go to next screen. Needs a lot of improvement. Not Facebook quality.
Great App Lifesaver I go through phones like the changing seasons so this app has saved my life saving the phone numbers I forgot to or lost
Not showing contact info correctly The numbers shown are scrambled long numeric strings, and they do not make sense at all
Hello caller ID and block What if you get a text an unwanted number how do you block that you don't have that in your information can you update your somehow help us thank you
So my thought is I might start using Hello and messenger as my default Dialer and SMS apps but Messenger Needs the SMS Functionality back before I can do that
Works well I like that I can create a Google contact by editing what is shared from the Facebook data. I wish it would pull more than just contact info, I would really like to be able to add birthdays and possibly anniversaries.
Slow Muito devagar. Poderia ser maia Γ‘gil e menos valorizado o icone do app na tela de abertura.
Losing my contacts Every time I create a contact and save and when I go to look them up the contacts are gone. Please fix this issue I like this app.
I try to use it instead of the contacts app. I figured that Facebook probably has one of the largest databases for phone numbers, so why not try it. I am still using the app.
Great app but it is missing connectivity between apps--especially Facebook apps, which is weird. After updating contacts, linking Facebook pages and updating to my contacts full names, everything is awesome on Facebook Hello. However if you click to send sms, it will open up Facebook Messenger and it still shows the old information that you had just updated. Can't figure out how to sync it out of the Hello account, into phone wide. Otherwise I haven't tried the blocker but the id and search is amazing.
Call blocking doesn't work properly My phone still rings a couple times before the app realizes it needs to block the call
Nothing but Spyware Why does a dialer app need permission for your microphone and camera. The dialer doesn't work unless you give Facebook permission to spy on everything
The password u have to have use to get on things like face book for one as. U can for feedback Google sign for mow
Missing feature for me. Blocking feature like, block no starting with 114 for example like truecaller, otherwise it's really useful!
Very annoying. Does not sync well with phone's pre-installed contacts. Many functions lost having this app.
:/ There are loads of issues with the app. It corrupted all of my phone's data. Adding weird numbers to all my contacts.
Future of calling Check Facebook hello app.. It's really good for incoming calls. It has caller id for businesses or people registered numbered on fb.
Nah I preferred syncing my Facebook/yahoo/and all other sites contacts with the Google contacts app. I can add anniversaries and birthdays to contacts that don't have Facebook. I still had to use the Google contacts app to get other details.
Needs work Needs to sync with Google contacts/messenger. Creating some issues without that ability.
Random Contact Merges Will randomly merge two separate contacts. Extremely annoying. 2 stars until fixed.
Seriously I wouldn't download or rate it more than 1 start until it's completely it's own application and not like an average crappy app
nice but... Needs to merge with Google contacts not keep separate, kinda lame. 3 stars until that's fixed.
Contact images They're only shown within this app. The images don't sync with my actual contact list. And if you use this for your dialer, they show Facebook friends whose contacts you don't actually have.
Nicer than stock Android dialer. Hasn't been updated since August 2015? How about giving it some love...
Good idea To bad it doesn't block the system apps that this replaces...
Great This is a great functional app. I really like integrating my phone contacts with Facebook profiles for the contact pictures. It's nice to be able to match existing contacts to their profile given plenty of nicknames in my contact list
Doesn't Sync With Google It doesn't stay synced with my Google contact info, nor does it use the Google groups so I'm not using.
