VIP Alert for Android
NOTE for users of apps like GO PRO and others that interact with SMS messages: Some of these applications block other apps from acting on SMS messages. For this reason, VIP Alert would not receive the SMS, and you would not be alerted. As of version 2.0.3, if VIP Alert is installed earlier than the other apps, it should be able to coexist with these apps. You may need to uninstall the other app and reinstall it.
Hoping there is an update coming. Worked like a charm before. I use it so my daughter's texts and calls come through anytime.
I tried to stick it out because I paid for this but it's not working so I uninstalled and found something else. I loved this at first. I relied on it for a long time. Then I updated my Android sys a few months ago and now it only half works. Calls from my vip's RING through when silent mode is enabled, but texts do not. I NEED texts to work. Sorry.
Worked well with galaxy 3. The menu dies not work on the note. Please get it fixed
Upgraded to Note 4,doesn't work. Uninstalled.
Works for me EVO 4G. My sister in law was having a baby & I didn't want to leave the ringer on all nite to hear every notification this app rocks
Does not allow a schedule. I need something during specific hours
works great with motorola droid x 2
Fantasic app, the one I rely on the most. Frequent updates to improve it. Developer responds promptly to questions and suggestions. 10 stars.
Would give more stars if app had a notification bar icon so you would see when it is enabled.
Great app and support. Works just like it says!
Awesome. Love that my wife can get in touch with me even if my phone is on silent. Ty! Mt4g
Texts are audible even when unchecked. Get Semisilent, does the same thing for free.
Excellent app with great support from developer.
Works perfect on my LG Optimus S!
So far so good. It let my son ring thru while all others were silent. DroidX used.
Does not work on tmobile G2!
Works great Droid 2!
Nicse!!! It works as said & for me is very needed as i do silent my phone @nite... definitely worth being on the McDonald's $1 menu ;-)
Excellent app for allowing only important calls when you are in meetings, driving or putting. Try it, you'll like it.
This is the best app! I can silence my phone except for calls from specific numbers. I like it in case of an emergency in the middle of the night. I have a droid x.
I love it works great wen I put my phone on silent to go to bed I put the list I only want like my bf my mom dad brother that's it n those r the only people my phone will ring too n I won't have to worry about missing there calls when my phone on silent n it's loud I love it
I loved this. I relied on it for a long time. Then I updated my Android sys and now it only half works. Calls from my vip's ring through when silent mode is enabled, but texts do not. I need texts to work.
Some phones are losing their menu button bc all touch. I did in the lg vista. Can't assign numbers anymore so can't use
The developer did a great job overhauling this app. The app now has customizeable features, offers options for texts independently of calls, and lets non-contact numbers ring through. This is very useful for getting calls from clients with multiple (and often unknown) phone numbers. Oddly enough, sometimes I just want my friends and family to leave me alone so I can focus on the unexpected. Great job, and thanks for listening to your customers so that I can better listen to mine! Sprint HTC EVO 4G.
When I first got this app I would have given it 5 stars, now it is a 1 star. This app worked just as it should in the beginning, but 2 weeks ago it no longer works. If the ringer is silenced nothing comes thru even if the phone number is in the VIP list. I don't know what happened, I have not changed any of my settings....calls from my VIP list just stopped ringing if the phone was silenced. The app has been uninstalled and reinstalled numerous times and it still does not work.
Text alert does not work on s4 or note 3 :( please fix asap ty
Works awesome. The new feature just added multiple calls from the same number within a couple of minutes makes it even better
I use to love this app when it worked. Ive email, and asked for help. Never get a response. This was a app I really needed and depended on. Wouldn't have bought it if it wasn't going to work.
Changed review because it works great now. Thank you!!!!!
The program works great most of the time, but occasionally will freeze the phone when taking a VIP call and the phone is on silent. Only way to restart is to pull the battery.(HTC incredible, froyo 2.2 o/s)
Loved this app on my DROIDX but it needs an update for the DROID RAZR maxx. It won't play any ringtones, just an alarm clock sound. Nor will it notify me when I get a text.
I'm so unhappy with the change I liked being able to be announced when I received a text from a VIP I had on the list active n phone on silent .. please fix all ppl have to do to not hear a double ring when phone on normal is disable VIP its not that hard ppl r just lazy!!!
Gives you so many options of what you are alerted to when phone silenced. I only get important calls/texts when I can't or don't want to be bothered.
The only thing I don't like is that I can't set call and text settings independently. If call noise and text noise are on, both are on for all enabled VIP's, so I can't say that some VIP's can get through when calling and texting but other VIP's can get through only when calling.
Doesn't work anymore lg optimus v
Someone mentioned a "schedule"..... That would be a great idea. It's a 5 star app without it but with it.... :)
My #1 Fave App! Works great! Can silence my cell and still be be comforted that if my fam or my love calls or texts.......I will hear it! LOVE IT! :~D
I have been searching and searching for an app like that if it works like it should. Well worth the 99 cents to have it. Keep up the good work.
Would give it 5 stars if developer can update app to allow you to select your own ringtone for VIP contacts instead of phone default.
