G+_Randy Beavers Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Truedialer must be making there own phone book. More info than I want to give them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_John Xintaras Jr Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Now if we could only get Taylor Swift's head to replace the goat's head, that would make Goat Simulator complete! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Daniel Bernard Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 I'm amazed that there aren't more votes for Slack. It's an absolutely fantastic messaging platform for work or home communications. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Ted Wallin Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 Randy Beavers That's the idea behind their main app TrueCaller. If a unknown number calls it search through their database build from peoples uploaded contacts. I personally don't like the idea that people using it shares my information widely...

G+_Elizabeth Whitmire Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 John Xintaras Jr? Surely that's in the planning stages for the sequel. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Beny Spensieri, Jr. Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 Sorry Ron. Not going to give up personal information just to use a dialer. I was really hoping for this one. I wish you had mentioned it in your review though. :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Zulhaimi Abdul Hamid Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 I have to say I am enjoying polygen. Thanks Jason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G+_Arjun Taheem Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 Thanks for the truedialler recommendation Ron Richards ! I've been looking for a good Dialler replacement for a while. Also truecaller is super useful, I still use it quite a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Josh Frye Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 How many more does Ron have to win to carry this year's total? We could offer him some suggestions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Dean Penderghast Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 I read the description of this app and their permissions and I don't see that THIS app uploads contacts. I do see that TrueCaller does but not TrueDialer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Matteo Doni Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 I can now claim victory for Goat Simulator. I would like to congratulate Jason Howell , Ron Richards and Phil Nickinson on a well fought Android Arena and an awesome show. Baaaa!!!! If we needed further proof, this proves that the third time is the charm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Matteo Doni Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 I would also like to thank Gina Trapani and Ron Richards for saying that I rule in episode 188. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Mahesh Asolkar Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 I don't like Truecaller very much, not at all really. I don't even have an account with them, and it already has all my present/past phone number in their database. Some of them are under my nicknames only my close friends and family member know my by. It obviously takes them from users' phone books (http://www.quora.com/Where-does-truecaller-get-data-It-doesnt-seem-to-work-for-me-but-if-it-did-work-wouldnt-that-raise-privacy-concerns). To me it is a major privacy concern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
