About Call setting
I’m the kind of person who just wants my phone to work without fuss. My old ringtone app got weird after an update, so I grabbed Call setting by GREEN APPLE hoping for a simple fix. I figured it would let me pick nice tones for my wife and my boss, maybe block a few spam numbers. That’s it. I wasn’t looking for anything fancy, just a tool that does the basic job it advertises. Sadly, this app isn’t for people who want things to work. It feels like it’s for people who have endless patience for ads and menus that go nowhere.
Features & Highlights
The description talks about custom ringtones, caller profiles, and scheduling. In my two weeks on my Pixel 7, I found none of that worked properly. The “custom ringtone” button just kicked me out to my phone’s own sound settings, which I can already get to without an app. What’s the point? The call blocking section was a joke—just a static list of labels like “Suspected Fraud” that I couldn’t add a single number to. I tried to set a schedule to go silent during my kid’s soccer practice on Saturday mornings. I tapped the toggle, set the time, and closed the app. When I checked later, it had turned itself off. The only feature that worked every single time was showing me a loud video ad.
User Experience
Using this app was genuinely frustrating. The layout is clunky, with big buttons that don’t do what you think. The English is a bit off, like it was translated by a machine, which makes some instructions confusing. My breaking point was last Tuesday. I was waiting for an important call from my doctor’s office and wanted a distinct ring. I spent five minutes tapping through menus, sat through a 30-second ad for a game I’ll never play, and finally picked a tone. The app froze and closed. When I opened it again, my choice was gone. It actually made me miss my old, slightly-broken app. This one doesn’t help; it actively gets in your way.
Pricing
It’s free. That’s the only good thing, but it’s not really free when you pay with your time and sanity. There’s no option to pay to remove the ads or unlock real features. That tells you everything. The developer, GREEN APPLE, isn’t trying to sell you a useful product. They’re just using this app as a billboard to make money from ads. It’s not worth the space it takes up on your phone.
Updates & Support
I didn’t have to contact support because the app was so broken I just gave up trying to use it. But I looked at the Play Store page. The last update was over a year ago. The app feels abandoned. There’s no help section inside the app, no email, no website link. If you run into trouble, you’re completely on your own. Reading the other one-star reviews, it’s clear I’m not the only one who got stuck with no way to get help.
Security & Privacy
I got it from the Play Store, so there’s that basic safety net. The privacy policy is a generic block of text you have to really hunt for. It says it might collect device info and data for ads. Given how aggressive the ads are, popping up full-screen all the time, I don’t really trust what it’s doing in the background. It just feels sketchy. I deleted it and felt better immediately.
Can I actually set custom ringtones for specific contacts with Call setting?
The app claims to do this, but in our testing it just redirects you to your phone's built-in sound settings. You're better off setting ringtones directly through your phone's contacts app without installing anything extra.
Does the call blocking feature let me block specific numbers?
No, the call blocking section only shows a static list of labels like 'Suspected Fraud' that you can't edit or add numbers to. For real spam blocking, we recommend using your phone's native call screening or a dedicated blocker like Truecaller.
Why does the schedule feature keep turning itself off?
This is a known bug in the app. Even after you set a time and toggle it on, the schedule often resets to off when you close the app. There's no reliable fix available, so you'll need to manually switch your phone to silent mode instead.
The app keeps freezing and losing my ringtone selections—what can I do?
Unfortunately, this is a common issue caused by poor app stability. The app frequently crashes after saving a tone, and your choice won't be there when you reopen it. Your best bet is to uninstall the app and use your phone's default ringtone settings.
How does Call setting compare to a simpler app like 'Ringtone Maker'?
While Ringtone Maker focuses on letting you create and assign custom tones without extra clutter, Call setting adds unnecessary menus, broken features, and frequent ads. Ringtone Maker is much more reliable for basic ringtone customization, though it also lacks robust call blocking.
