Look and sound your best on app calls

Effects & sound adds video effects to app video calls, made on your phone: blur the room behind you, put Orbit, Aurora or Studio behind you, choose a colour look or brighten a dark room with Low light. Noise reduction keeps fans and traffic out of the call.

What you get

Everything that comes with it

Free to answer

Answering an app call is always free and needs no plan. Only the person who starts the call uses their plan, and it covers both people.

Not recorded or transcribed

RaimCalls doesn't record or transcribe app calls, audio or video.

Made on this device

Effects are made on your phone or tablet. The camera picture and the result go only into the call, and only the people in it see the result.

Eases off when it should

If your phone runs short on power or gets warm, an effect eases off and then turns itself off, and RaimCalls tells you.

Noise reduction on Android

Standard reduces steady background sound such as fans and traffic. Strong also stops your microphone turning up quiet background sound between your words. Off sends the sound as it is.

Apple's own controls

The iPhone and iPad version always reduces noise with Apple's voice processing, and opens Apple's Mic Mode (Voice Isolation) and Video Effects (Portrait, Studio Light) menus.

Ground rules

What it will and won't do

  • Some effects aren't available on every phone; the app shows which work on yours
  • App calls are never recorded or transcribed
  • Echo cancellation is always on
