What’s better than using FRITZ!App Fon by AVM GmbH? Well, try it on a big screen, on your PC or Mac, with BlueStacks to see the difference.
FRITZ!App Fon basically turns a smartphone into a cordless phone for the home line. It connects to the FRITZ!Box over Wi Fi and routes calls through the landline, so those landline rates still apply, often flat if the provider includes that. The setup is simple enough. Log in with the FRITZ!Box password, pick which number to use, confirm, done. After that the phone rings for incoming calls like any other handset on the network, and you can choose which devices ring or which numbers should trigger the ring. The call quality is clean with HD voice, and Bluetooth headsets work fine, so it suits working from home or pacing around the kitchen while talking. It pulls names from both the FRITZ!Box phonebook and the phone contacts, so caller names show instead of unknown numbers.
What stands out is that it keeps out of the way. It runs quietly in the background and does not chew through battery, yet calls still come through right away. People with more than one smartphone in the house can add them too, which is handy for roommates or a quick extra handset. On a PC with BlueStacks, it feels like a lightweight softphone that uses the home line. Click to dial, search contacts with a keyboard, use a USB or Bluetooth headset, and keep calls on Wi Fi rather than burning mobile minutes. It is not flashy, just practical and stable, which is exactly what a phone app like this should be.
