Let your phone work for you.
CritiCall might be the most important app you get for your Android phone.
Tired of your phone waking you up in the middle of the night? Do you turn your phone to silent but worry about missing an emergency call from your kids, parents, significant other? Afraid to turn the volume on your phone down for fear you’ll miss that call or text from an important client?
“Fortunately, with CritiCall, those worries become a thing of the past.” – Android Authority, 10/21/12
Rest easy and sleep peacefully knowing you’ll never miss a critical call or text again. Set critical contacts so your phone will ring when those contacts call or text, even when your phone is on silent.
CritiCall is relied on by members of search and rescue teams, expectant fathers, people with older or sick family members, parents, and business professionals to ensure they never miss “that” call.

Doesn't work anymore. Got a new phone and installed this app that i loved on the old. Now I'm constantly missing calls from my boyfriend and he's getting pissed.

Works reliably so I never miss an important call or text. However, it doesn't work with mms, just sms. Wish it worked with mms too.

Did not work, would get a notification that sound increased but no actual sound except for once when it was on vibrate, not silent. Essentially useless.

Just found out it was sending 20% of all my calls to voicemail. Also it had my cell tower in another state.

Often keeps ringing even after you answer the call... which is the last thing you want to happen when you receive a critical call.

I have survived off this app. Making sure I never miss a call or text from the most important people(previously late night booty calls, and now in a more mature state, the girlfriend). Fixes needed: double ring, stops working after updates or contacts switched off, needs to increase call volume for select contacts.

I don't understand why 5:30 pm to 8:30am says I've entered an invalid end time. I want to get calls after work and before work. I typically leave my phone on silent so I don't see how this will help me.

It only rings once so if you lay your phone down it only rings 1 time and goes back to silence it kind of defeats having it so that you can get to it if somebody is on your emergency contact list for now 1 stars , 5 stars when its fixed. Very unresponsive developer. Does NOT RETURN TO SILENT MODE ONCE CLEARED

Finally an app that does what it says. I already tried multiple apps for silent mode bypass and all were not working at all. I used to say this. But after the latest update I am not happy at all. Don't know whether it is the Criticall update or my update to Lollipop. But when contacts ring it only rings once and then gone. I can not even pick up the phone. Always have to call them back. Please fix this. Loved the app but now not that much anymore.

This was a great app until the last update. I hope we can downrev so we can go back to the app that worked. Maybe they can fix it. Should be tested before distribution.

Just downloaded this app. Hope it works with Lollipop. as some others don't now. Question; Where is the On/Off widget? (What's new) and what is it? Will give 5 stars after I have it for a while to test it.

I am glad how well this works! I have all my family set to ring on silent. My main reason for this app was when I was on call for my best friend to have her baby. I could not miss her call! And this app did it's job!!

Used to work a treat when I was trying to sleep during the day from night shifts. Latest version doesn't work on my phone when selecting a custom ringtone so I get a different ringtones than I usually use. If resolved I'd happily up the rating.

Needs to be updated not working on the HTC m9. Half the time it doesn't ring and when it does it doesn't use the ring tone set for the contact. needs an update or downgrade to when it worked.

After the update, for my critical contacts, only the default ringer will ring, the customized ring tones will not.

For work or friend's. I work nightshift so I don't want to be interrupted by everyone else. Just add certain people. Mostly work tada magic. Now even on silent mode you will still get that important meeting call.

Stopped working after the Note 4 5.1.1 update, or the latest Criticall update, not sure which. Otherwise good!

Not working at all. A critical call comes in and it makes one beep like noise, but no ring. Used to work perfect.

... until this last update. Custom ring tones no longer work for specific contacts, the default ring tone is applied to every caller. Please fix. UPDATE: I couldn't figure out why I was missing calls from my critical contacts, come to find out - the app deleted them! Had to re-add them again. And the ringtones are still not working correctly. PLEASE FIX!

Never had an issue. Also am not using any custom ring tones or anything, just the defaults. Regardless, my family can still call or text me after I've silenced my phone for the night.

3The reviews are alarming! What a shame tho....I wish it was more reliable. I do hope the developer respond to these reviews and updates it
