Sad I cannot try this on my iPhone:( What other related apps do you recommend? Including personal CRMs

While I'd love to create an app like this for iPhones, it's unlikely Apple would approve the functionality of the app, though Google has. As for related personal CRM apps, I tried a bunch and honestly don't have a recommendation; this was the driver that led me to create this app.

> it's unlikely Apple would approve the functionality of the app

I see no reason this would be true. What rule do you think it violates?

The app uses access to text message and call data to make decisions and display information. While the app does not store this data, it is unlikely Apple would allow the app to access the same data on an iPhone.

This makes sense. I think that there is no API available to access this data.

I thought that you were referring to them rejecting the app at the review stage.

I don’t see any reason they would do that or disapprove of the purpose of the app, however you simply can’t build it because the data you want is inaccessible.
