Whoscall is a caller ID and number management mobile application developed by Taiwan-based developer Gogolook. The app identifies incoming call as the call comes in allowing users to identify important business calls and filter out unwanted callers. It also includes number management features, number and keyword blocks, an offline database, and is available across the Android, Windows Phone and iOS platforms.. It is completely free with no additional in-app or upgrade purchases. Whoscall relies on its strong networks of local partners, internet searches and user community generated content to identify numbers. It was selected as Google Play’s Best Apps of 2013 in 8 countries across Asia.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=https://play.google.com/store/apps/collection/promotion_3000540_bestapp_apac )〕 The name Whoscall derives from "Who is calling?", and is now available for download free in 31 countries, including Taiwan, Korea, Hong Kong, Japan, Thailand, Brazil amongst others.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.appledaily.com.tw/appledaily/article/headline/20130117/34775379/ )〕 == History and Development == The conception of the app arose in a weekly gathering between the three founders of what later became Gogolook, who at the moment took time off their day jobs to work on various app ideas over the weekends and their free time. During the gathering, one of the founders received a telephone call, and promptly asked the others to do a quick search of the incoming unknown number online, hoping for a search result, either from a forum or a business page so he can prepare himself for the call, or choose to ignore it. This got them all wondering if an app that did just that was feasible. The first version of the app was launched in August of 2010, and still one of several apps by the part-timers at the moment got off to a slow start. It eventually gained some traction and propelled itself into the limelight when Google’s CEO, Eric Schmidt, on a visit to Taiwan, mentioned the app, Whoscall, by name. “An app called WhosCall tells you who a strange numbers’ from. It’s fast growing… and its from Taiwan.” It was that moment which triggered the three founders to quit their day jobs, focus on a single application and found Gogolook Co., Ltd. in April 2012. It received initial funding from Trinity Investment Corporation and angel investors. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Whoscall」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
