Reviews for Sync.ME: Caller ID & Contacts
← Back to Sync.ME: Caller ID & Contactssuddenly asking for more permissions than i want to give. I only want this app for syncing photos from social media. been using this for years but will uninstall if not changed soon.
after a couple calls, it wasn't showing the names and stuff anymore. plus, recording is not working. i was thinking about paying for it, but that way, it ain't worth it. 👍🏽
I've been using this app for some years now but now it's unusable. If it doesn't find the correct contact then it doesn't sync at all. The login process is also quite unbearable now.
Update Oct 2 2025: The app is now showing a small round blue circle on the screen each time a call is placed or received. It wasn't doing this before the last update. How do I stop it from showing on the screen with each call? Clicking on the small blue sync icon circle does nothing and only goes away when the call ends.
I upgraded my device from a Samsung S8+ to S10+. On my S8+ it would sync with my Facebook and Instagram contacts, but doesn't even show up the app when I put it on my new phone. It should be the same. I have paid for the the Unlimited Membership and it's a joke! When I've tried to look up a number that I don't know it NEVER has any information. I reached out to them and they said they would look into it and get back to with me and that's been over 10 days ago. AWESOME customer service! REFUND!
Caller ID works great... identifying spam and blocking numbers is fantastic... both of which I would give 4.5☆ - 5☆. Where the app lost its luster for me is the fact that it only has 2-3 social media platforms that it syncs contacts/pics with... which is what I absolutely LOVED with my previous phone. For the combined reasons above, I would have been willing to still go 3.5☆ - 4☆ if it was all still free... but having to pay for an inferior product leaves me with having to say ✌️!!
Aaand it STILL does not have the ability to sync Facebook profile pictures! Click on the Facebook sync button and nothing happens. Don't list Facebook sync in the description if you're app doesn't even support it! Edit: Got a message to contact their customer support. I did and got told Facebook sync is temporarily unavailable and it will be solved in a few weeks. Same response I got when I first asked back on Jun 1st. Let me know when you have an app that actually does what it says it can do.
I've been paying the yearly subscription for 2 years and got my parents on it too, and before that i paid the 5 bucks. For months it's failed to caller ID numbers. It also says Facebook login is unsupported now, so it's not even syncing! Maybe that's why it's not identifying numbers anymore, Facebook blocked them? I want a refund for this year because it's not offering the services I paid for. Might do a chargeback for this year's subscription if I still can.
After paying the subscription for Facebook sync. They drop it. APIs change, update your app accordingly. We don't want call recording or whatever other features you added. Don't waste your time, just get contact sync working again. That's all people want from you, and you know it other wise you won't have put it behind a pay wall.
I have been using this app for a few years. As of recently though. I found a better, less battery using app. Also, I hadn't been able to keep calls from actually coming through I don't want. Telemarketing, soliciting calls. The other app, stops calls directly that aren't in my contacts. Phone never even rings. While syncme has been great at giving me options to block calls and giving the names or location as to where the calls are coming from. There are calls, I just do not want to even be bothered with.
It's good. I only use it for Facebook sync and it does it's job well. Instagram feature, idk if it's just me but I tried MULTIPLE times to get it to work. I can log in just fine but syncing would stop always around 40-50%. I suspect it has something to do with friendcount. Anyway that's that, I'm sure the other accounts work fine but Instagram still is a wip. edit: fb is unsupported. had to reinstall apps on my phone and when i went in to set this up, fb isnt supported. outlived its usefulness.
They have now completely disabled all functionality UNLESS you give access to your contacts! This was not in the original agreement. We should be able to block calls by number without allowing access to personal data like names/numbers. $20/year is PREMIUM! I understand it helps them improve the service, but we should STILL be able to block numbers!!! I'm posting this review as I have not heard back from technical support for a number of weeks. Don't buy this app if you want privacy!!!
The app is great for updating photos and blocking spam calls. However, they have changed it to where you need to pay and upgrade to get the same features it use to have for free; such as, scanning social media profiles for new/updated contact photos and merging contacts. When I changed phones a month ago and downloaded the app again, it told me I could no longer sync with FB because of their updated privacy settings. At this point, I may start looking for a new app.
The app used to work good but stopped working. The caller ID used to tell me who was calling and whether it was spam. After it stopped working, I uninstalled and reinstalled. It still didn't work and when it did, it told me I had no internet connection. Emailed customer support which took 6 days to reply and they were not helpful. I had deleted the app a few months ago because it wasn't really helpful. I stopped getting spam calls down to about 1 per week. I just reinstalled it recently to sync social media pictures to my contacts. Less than a day after installing, I get spam calls all the time, from all over multiple times a day. I'll be uninstalling again.
Mainly subscribed to the the app to sync with Facebook and Instagram. It worked for awhile, for what I wanted then one day the app logged me out, I could never log in again. I contacted support an they told me that an API changed and it would be temporary. I am not sure what that means??? So I just canceled my subscription and I am out the my I guess but at least I can warn others not to download.
I got annoyed with the app's interference in my call screens & logs a few months ago & uninstalled. Today I noticed a lot of my contact pictures are outdated or missing, so I figured I'd give it another try. When I went to sync with my Facebook friends, I got the same error message other reviewers have been mentioning: "Facebook is unsupported" - so there's no point of the app. Uninstalled! Again.
App does very little of what it says it does. First, it states that you can get a free promo of Pro or Unlimited status, yet when you sign up for the promo period and try to use those features they tell you that you need to sign up and pay. I shouldn't have to wait until the end of the promo period to use the features you are promoting to me. The whole idea of a promotional period is to ensure it works correctly and is worth the cost. I can't say this app is work $20 or more dollars for an annual subscription that doesn't work. Also, I signed up for the promotion and you all tried to bill me the next day. That isn't a 30 day promo in my eyes, if I am paying now then there is no promotion, this is a problem and false advertising, so is telling me I have a promo period but limiting the featrues I would pay for during the promo until I actually pay. This app also wants an insane amount of permission and access to your data given what it does. Also, never once blocked a spam or scam call from my phone and as far as straightening out your contacts...Good Luck, spent several days straightening out the mess it made of my contacts. I do not recommend this app in any way shape or form. There are better and cheaper apps out there, try Contacts+ Pro, they have been doing a great job for me so far, but there is a cost, but much less than this app is charging by far.
EDIT: This app went from just good enough to do what I want to hot garbage dumpster fire. I can't even open the app without being forced to turn on "display over other app" because it's trying to force me to use the caller ID feature. Used to work really well now I keep getting an error when logging in to Facebook "For your account security, logging into Facebook from an embedded browser is disabled"
Pro subscriber who cancelled. The app had a conniption. It stopped syncing contacts, tells me various services are unsupported, and refused to actually answer calls Overall it has become more trouble than it is worth. this used to be a great app for me. It probably can be for someone else. I'm simply unwilling to spend additional time trying to make this work again. Based on what I've found it's down to some change Samsung made. Shocking.
