How is Call Control different than all of those other "Call Blocker" & "Blacklist" apps?

When you install Call Control, you become part of a community of users who actively report spam call activity to block thousands of the most active spam callers instantly. We call it our Community Blacklist - and it's incredibly powerful. Our patent-pending technology analyzes massive volumes of call data and user reports to filter spam callers while making sure your important calls are not blocked. And by reporting spam calls you receive, you contribute to making Call Control more effective for everyone.

Call Control integrates with the FCC Do Not Call registry to make Call Control even more powerful to fight spam calls!

Automatic Spam Blocking with the Community Blacklist.
You’d have to enter thousands of numbers into other call blocker apps to match the power of Call Control! Call Control comes pre-loaded with a Community Blacklist that's generated from Community reports and Do Not Call complaints, blocking thousands of spam and unwanted calls / text messages right out of the box.

(1) Call Control requests the Camera permission to enable logging in and managing your settings online via QR code.
(2) Message blocking in Kitkat and Lollipop requires Call Control to become your default messaging app which is optional.

Ratings and reviews

This app effectively singles out 'Potential' threats, (SPAM, Scam, etc.), and apparently sends selected numbers to a global database that is used to alert ALL users of potential threats in real time. Pretty cool, really. It allows the user to instantly block calls while they are 'ringing' or after the call, leaving a popup on the screen to select this. I think we all wish there was a way, without going into DND mode, to ensure that blocked numbers NEVER ring.

It's alright but NOT worth paying for. I saw some recommend this app on a forum complaining about robo scam/spam calls. They mentioned you could require the callers to enter a code/instruction to actually connect the call. Since most spam calls are robocalls they would automatically be blocked. This wasn't true but I did not know this. Downloaded the app and paid for 1 year. Stick with your regular phone app. More spam calls getting through with this app than my regular phone app.

UPDATE: Over a year later it still has not been fixed. You need to start refunding people as a service you advertise and we pay for doesn't work. NOT once in nearly 2 years has it ever said who is the caller when doing the look up. I always end up having to google it. And you need a feature that auto blocks robocalls and numbers that are not even in service. The premium caller look up rarely ever works.
