## Review summary

User reviews are largely negative for NewCall. The core issues are a heavy paywall and confusing pricing, with many features requiring payment after a free trial. Users report the app often doesn’t work even when paid, and several reviews label it a scam due to misleading ads. Cancellation/refund friction is also mentioned. A minority of users express brief positive sentiment or note visually appealing screens, but the prevailing view is that the paywall and reliability problems far outweigh any positives.

### Pros

- Multiple reviews express positive sentiment (e.g., 'Lo mejor', 'It’s great', 'Amazing').
- Some reviewers note visually appealing screens/animations (cool/funny screen visuals).
- A few users were drawn to the app by advertised features and gave it a try, indicating initial appeal.

### Cons

- Pricing model is paywalled: most features require payment, with conflicting or unclear pricing (trial followed by weekly/monthly charges).
- The app reportedly does not work or is buggy even after paying for a subscription.
- Perceived as scam/false advertising due to misleading marketing (claims of being free despite charges).
- Difficulty cancelling/removing subscriptions or obtaining refunds.
- Overall experience is negative due to paywalls and unreliability.
