User Reviews

Raise To Answer is a strong accessibility aid for seniors and users with limited vision, enabling hands-free call answering. It often works well once permissions and settings are correctly configured and is valued for helping elderly family members and users with gloves or poor eyesight. However, device compatibility varies, setup can be complex, and reliability can be inconsistent with delays, missing beeps, or prompts.

Pros

Great accessibility aid for elderly and visually impaired users, enabling hands-free answering without swiping.
Helpful in tricky situations like wearing gloves or with poor eyesight, allowing easier call handling after proper permissions.
Valued for enabling family communication and helping seniors to talk to relatives again.

Cons

Reliability varies by device; some phones do not consistently pick up calls (e.g., Redmi 8A, Moto G Stylus 4G).
Requires extensive permissions and background activity setup, including managing battery optimization (e.g., DuraSpeed) to function properly.
Occasional delays or failures to detect ear proximity and answer calls, leading to missed or slow responses.
Permission prompts/popups can interrupt the process on some devices and users are unsure how to disable them.
Limited or inconsistent support across apps and devices (e.g., not working for all apps like WhatsApp).

I like this app because it helps my wife when she's in the garden with gloves on, and me with poor eyesight. But sometimes, a call comes and it doesn't beep. She puts the phone to her ear and no pickup. Finding how to answer on the Moto g pure or g power in this situation is tricky. When this happens, there is a popup box with a request for permission to use phone. press 'allow" and it works. I wonder what is causing this popup. How do I solve this problem. Can I get rid of it?
