About
Coyote & Predator Hunting Calls is a mobile hunting utility app developed by Purr Apps for iPhone and iPad. Built with practicality in mind, the app consolidates all sounds and controls onto a single screen so hunters can react quickly in cold or challenging field conditions without fumbling through multiple menus. The app includes 12 field-proven audio tracks covering a wide range of predator and prey sounds: Coyotes Howling, Coyote Siren Locator, Mountain Lion, Fox Mating Call, multiple Baby Rabbit Distress calls, Cottontail Distress, Mockingbird Distress, Robin Distress, Sparrow Distress, and Rodent Distress. These sounds are designed to attract coyotes, foxes, bobcats, mountain lions, lynx, bears, wolves, and even crows. Key practical features include the ability to play multiple sounds simultaneously, loop individual sounds for continuous playback, and keep audio running even when the device screen locks or the app is minimized. Hunters can also connect Bluetooth or wired speakers through the headphone jack to project sounds over greater distances — particularly useful for crow hunting. The app is free to download and is best suited for recreational and serious predator hunters looking for a no-frills, always-ready calling tool. Note that the free version includes ads that can interrupt sessions; users should be aware of this limitation during active hunts.

Cons

- Limited Sound Library: With only 12 sounds included, experienced hunters may find the selection too narrow compared to paid predator calling apps on the market.
- Low User Ratings: The app holds a 2.6/5 rating largely due to ad interference, suggesting the free experience significantly impacts usability in real hunting scenarios.
