Idol Prank: Video Call & Chat is a simulation app in the entertainment category that focuses on letting you prank your friends with fake video calls from celebrities. I found this app on Google Play a few weeks ago and decided to download it after seeing how funny the videos looked online. It is free to install and you can start using it right away without any registration. The app does have ads and some in app purchases if you want extra features, but the basic prank calls work just fine without paying anything.

When you open the app, you pick a celebrity from the list and then set up the fake call. You can even type a fake message that appears on the screen during the call so it looks more real. I mostly use it to prank my sister and my friends, and it always gets a big laugh. One simple tip is to make sure the person you are pranking is alone in the room because the surprise reaction is way more fun that way. Also, you should keep the phone close to your face so the camera angle looks natural when the call starts.

I have tried other similar prank call apps before, but most of them look too fake or have very few celebrity options. Idol Prank: Video Call & Chat feels more polished and the video quality is much better than others I have tried. I have seen some apps that only give you one or two celebrities, but this one has a good variety which keeps things fresh. After I installed this app, I deleted the other ones because this just works better for what I need. If you want to have fun with your friends and get some good laughs, this app is definitely worth checking out on Google Play.

• 😄 The fake video call feature is the main reason I use this app. You can pick a celebrity and the screen shows them calling you, which looks super real. I compared it with another popular prank app called Fake Call and Chat, but that one only showed a static image. Here the video moves and the person on the other side actually talks, so the prank works much better.
• 😄 You can type fake messages that appear on the screen during the call. This is something I did not see in the other app I tried. It makes the prank even more believable because you can show a quick chat message before the call starts. My friends fell for it every time.
• 😄 There is a wide list of celebrities to choose from. The other app I used only had about five options, but this one has many more. You can switch between different stars and even use them for different pranks on the same day without repeating the same one too quickly.
• 😄 The app lets you record the reaction if you want. That is a nice extra because you can save the video of the person getting pranked and share it later on social media. I have used this feature a few times and it always gets a lot of likes and comments.

• 👍 The video quality is surprisingly good for a free app. When I compared it with another prank app I had before, the picture was much clearer and the sound was more natural, so my pranks looked more real.
• 👍 The setup process is very quick. It only takes about 30 seconds to choose a celebrity and start the fake call. The other app I used had more steps and it was confusing, so this one is definitely better for fast use.
• 👍 The app works smoothly on my phone without crashing or lagging. I have used it many times and it has never failed me, which is more than I can say for some other entertainment apps I have tried from Google Play.

• 👎 The number of ads can be a bit annoying. Sometimes an ad pops up right after the prank ends, which breaks the fun moment. I have seen other apps that show less ads, so this could be improved.
• 👎 A few celebrities are locked behind in app purchases. I would like to have access to all of them for free, but you have to pay if you want the popular ones.
