Jolly Roger Captain's Log

I can’t tell you how much the JRT has done for me! I’d get 3-6 telemarketing calls a day, which would be more than annoying. Now, the only calls I get are the ones that I’ve white listed (the ones in my contacts or that I’ve added manually). Perfect! I do appreciate the added ability to turn on/off the service when needed (such as waiting for an important call, but not knowing their number). Makes it so much easier! It is a odd that the current app version is shown to be 14.7.4 and my installed version is 14.7.8

I saw this company on Shark Tank and wanted to love it, but the concept execution is absolutely awful. Both this app and the website are clunky, difficult to navigate, and reminds me of early dialup internet where everyone had a homepage that was “under construction”. I’m honestly impressed that anyone is still featuring the company with this mediocre execution, and can only assume it’s for the novelty. I’ve yet to get a call (other than the test option which was also poorly explained) so I can’t speak to full functionality, but I also can’t listen to the recording on the app. It just doesn’t work. The website is no help either; I can’t even find a list of calls. I’ll give it a shot for another week or two before I pull the plug, but in the meantime I implore the developers to gather a group of young tech experts to help them truly get in the game.

Without the ability to whitelist or blacklist callers (a feature available on the website), this app is only marginally useful. Listening to the recordings (this apps only feature) is only fun for a while, but eventually gets old. But blocking callers that get through the spam filters is what I need access to on a daily basis. Please update to add this ability!
