Caller ID App for Google Android
Caller ID App for Google Android
Summary
Generally speaking, if you order caller ID on a mobile device, what you are going to end up getting is the number flashing across your screen. You won’t get a name with it because phonebook listings are not programmed into the caller ID screens for cell phones. The only time you will see an actual name on the cell phone screen is if you actually have that person in your cell phone contact list so that the phone can match the number to the name. With Caller ID App for Google Android however, there is another way to get caller ID working on your Google Android device.
User Interaction
Interacting with Caller ID application for Google Android is a breeze. All you have to do is take a look at the call when it comes in and then decide what you want to do about the call when you know for sure who is calling. It could not be easier to use any app than it is to use Caller ID for Google Android.
User Interface
The graphical user interface for the Google Android Caller ID app is fantastic. On one side of the screen you have information regarding the person that is calling that has been matched to their phone number and on the other side of the screen you have the options that are available to you at the moment that the phone rings. All you have to do is cross-reference one screen with the other and you are getting the most out of that particular application. Doing so is easy with text colours, sizes and fonts used liberally to denote a hierarchy of information. The design is absolutely perfect for an application of this kind.
Utility and Productivity
Becoming productive with Caller ID for Google Android is very easy to do. In fact, this particular app is one of the few that does not require active use on your part for increased productivity. It is a passive application, which means that you only have to set it up on your Android once and then let it do its thing.
Whenever someone calls your phone, the Caller ID app will kick into gear. It will cross-reference the number that is calling with the database of numbers supplied by the White Pages and then return a name, address, phone number and other available contact information based on what you have available in the White Pages database. All of this is completely automatic and kick starts when someone calls you. All you need to do in the end is decide which calls you want to answer and which calls you would prefer to let the machine get.
Rating
In the end, the only real criticism of Caller ID for Google Android is that it does require the caller ID to be present in your plan so that the phone number can be used as a lookup point. If you don’t have that then this app is useless. For that reason, we have to give it a slightly lower score of 8.0 out of 10.
