Stable App Does not support hang-up or text blocking on Android 5.0+. Mr. Number app developers need to figure out a way around that before someone else does. Previously loved this app. I really need the hang up feature with no alert, the most. Currently, this app will only send a caller to voicemail. I can do that faster, manually, than this app can. Also keep in mind your phone has to be turned on, in order to block a call.

Doesn't work on my Samsung Galaxy 6 Love it! The ability to block private and restricted calls, just wonderful. In the beginning Mr. Number was great but as the years goes by and many up grades later, it's now just like the rest of the apps out there. It doesn't block texts anymore. Now that my Samsung Galaxy 6 is able to block calls and texts Mr. Number is now just taking up space. Time for an upgrade.

It changed UPDATE When I 1st downloaded this several months ago I wld have given 4 stars only bc it didnt block texts. This is one of the few apps that actually blocks PRIVATE or BLOCKED calls. It used to completely block the calls so the caller cldnt leave a voicemail but now it doesnt. I cld use my regular phone block for that. The only reason I still have it is bc it prevents private calls from ringing on my phone. Please fix it.

restricted vs unknown? I'm upgrading my rating as Mr. Number has gotten much better lately at identifying scam calls so I don't have to block them after the fact. Still can't distinguish between a restricted number and an unknown number. My phone can tell the difference, why can't the app? Also, still occasionally labels perfectly good callers as spam. Mr. Number, with just a little tweaking, this could be a great app. This is NOT an older version. I have the current version.

I used to love it This has been my go to app for blocking calls. Then suddenly it does not block calls!! What happened to you Mr.Number?? I double checked the calls are blocked, but still ring and ring, it also used to have a feature that allowed you to choose what happened when a blocked call came in, either go to voice mail, or not. Now it does not. Not sure what happened, but now all my incoming calls are also not showing up in the call log for me to even block! Mr.Number please fix! Uninstalling for now.

5 stars.. This App does all that it promise.. What. Like most, is that if a number isn't on your contact list, the caller won't be able to get through.. I'm keeping this one!!! Thanks Mr. Number..I've tried so many & I'm telling you , this one is it!! If its Not on your contact list, The call isn't getting past Mr. Number he's definitely doing his job! I'm gonna give him a rise!!! 😀😁😁😁

Needs FTC Reporting Feature By far one of the most useful apps to have on a cellphone. The ability to have calls hung up on without being able to reach my voicemail is is amazing. My only concern and reasoning for not giving 5 stars is there is no way to report numbers to the FTC within the app itself. That addition would make this app golden!

Blocks all of my spam! I normally receive 5-10 marketing calls a day from random Pennsylvania numbers. This app blocks all of them within a second after they come in. Most of the time faster than the phone will even start playing a ringtone! This is definitely a must have app!

Di So April 15, 2016

Not working properly anymore something happened Is doesnt let me block and send to voice mail or hangup what happened to those options. It doesn't let me choose a number then choose to send it to voicemail or hang up. Before it would give you those 2 options per number so if I wanted to take one number and send to voicemail I could then take another number and hang up I could it did that for years not anymore it's no good for me anymore. Why would such an important feature be taken away so useful

Helyna Ward-Ackland April 21, 2016

Great App! Works like a charm! Very easy to use and easy to customise features. Blocked calls go to voicemail (on later versions of Android) this the only downside. But since all other number blocking apps seem to do the same I think this is still the best app for all its other features.

Classroom Buffoon April 24, 2016

Great Should have called it The Call Bouncer or something. Seen it at work HUNDREDS of times with a really persistent caller who thinks I'm the girl who borrowed money off him/her. Needs work with network messages though. But that's fine, I expected it to block calls and it does.

Teresa Beckwith May 7, 2016

It is Alright What would make this the BEST app out there? Please block the text messages from the people who are on the block list. I do have a suggestion have a section to block all internet calls. They seem to love me lately. I have been blocking them all as they come in. I love that it blocks the suspected spam, not in the contacts, international calls and unknown callers.

J Fafe April 24, 2016

Good for ignoring calls, but.. It works great, I have been using Mr Number since 2014 at least but now I'm noticing more blocked callers get to my voicemail. I just got a blocked call, and my phone kept ringing as if it were a normal call. I hope there's an update or something to get this under control. Thanks for identifying spam/scam calls, though. That's really cool.

H. Reed August 31, 2016

Works but terrible UI Often a Mr Number call description pop-up message appears on the screen during calls. The blue bubble is centered on the screen with no easy option to close it. This makes it impossible to access the keyboard to press 1 or 2 on a phone menu. Insanely bad UI design. These pop-up messages also block the screen so that it's difficult to answer incoming calls.

Tyler Chiocchio June 26, 2016

Best app I have I got a website domain from Go Daddy and my phone number wasn't just sold to the highest bidder, it was sold to every bidder. I was getting calls multiple times a day, everyday. I had a blocked contact list with the "send to voicemail" function but that didn't really help. This app finally gave me peace. Highly recommended.

Jessica Jackson April 9, 2016

Its good enough! It blocks the calls that I assign along with telling me who is possibly calling if they're not a contact. I would like the option to not see that I have a missed blocked call unless I go check my blocked call log. Other than that not too bad!

A Google User June 9, 2016

Older version was better. Used to be able to look caller up and do not like texts and calls all on same list :( NOW when set to hang up call still rings thru and makes sound when on another call. What has happened? Used to love this app. Blocked calls are allow to go to voicemail.

Bill Ramseur September 10, 2016

Wishing for more features Had this app for 3-5years now and since loss of pick up hang up im not as happy. Also wish i could set a special ringtone for numbers being blocked due to not always blocked effectively. Some times phone rings 5 times before blocking a number that it has blocked 50 tomes in the past . Samsung S6

T3tCHY April 5, 2016

Didnt even block 1 number This is a waste of space. I got this app with the intention of only blocking one number was sick of his manipulative texts and didnt want to have to read them. Well thought it worked as i hadnt heard from him in a while then today i get txt from him! So i check the app to see if his number is still blocked and it said it was. So how could his msg get to me? One number is all i needed blocked ffs!! Dont bother with this app its a fake!

D June 11, 2016

Blocks #'s but if the ringer is turned off on the phone it turns the ringer back on when a blocked number/spam is coming through. Also, not very clear as to how to add a number to their list of blocked #'s... If they fix it, I'll be more than happy to give them five stars because it blocks 6 or more a day which allows the important calls to come through. I also would like to know what the blocked callers hear when they get blocked. I need to have my phone silent during appointments & meetings :(

Joy Wells July 30, 2016

It sux now It used to block txt. Not any longer. I have to quickly call & hangup to get Mr. Number or their other app Hiya to identify txt sender. Ugh shouldn't have these problems on Droids latest version! Seems my older droid was better for this app. Get your life Mr. # & Hiya

Liselle van Deventer July 4, 2016

Used to work perfectly. But recently I get calls that that comes through even though they are on my block list. Once I open the app, it confirms its a blocked number. Then the number gets blocked for a day. Tomorrow the call doesn't get blocked anymore. Is this a setting that I must fix? Background data maybe?

Sarah Grove April 14, 2016

It's not like it used to be I've been using this app for a long time - I don't know how it changed but it used to completely block the calls I set it to block and some I had set to go straight to voicemail. Now, the calls on my block list don't show up as having called and they're able to leave voicemails and there is no go to voicemail option anymore. .. It used to be a lot better, in my opinion.

KC McMichael April 20, 2016

Been using it for a long time I think it's a great app but it just allowed a caller on my block list to leave a message. Not sure why it let that happen or how they were able to do so. Is there's some sort of back door hack?

Aly Glasco September 16, 2016

Amazing This app has kept me from answering spam and harassing calls & texts. It also provides a history of these calls & texts. It is also amazing at blocking calls & texts for phone numbers that you have configured as blocked. I love this app so much. It certainly keeps me sane. Also, shout out to the developers: Fantastic job! I'd pay for further actions like sending blocked callers to a "not available" recording instead of my voicemail.

A Google User September 19, 2016

Not working correctly I really liked it and i found it right on time instead of changing my phone # I just filter and don't even have 2 be bothered but lately it is throwing an error message and letting callers through I had to put another app on my phone to stop these callers

Michael Dirk May 12, 2016

Doesn't seem to be working anymore. Settings->Scam or Fraud and Suspected Spam setting doesn't block calls anymore. I have them both checked, but those numbers that are already marked as spam don't get blocked. I'm moving to something else tonight. Tired of getting messages from calls that should be blocked.

Wesly Moore May 17, 2016

Works, but inconsistently Works mainly as advertised, but calls do sometimes/often ring for 3-4 seconds before being blocked. Would be better if blocked calls did not ring at all. I do love the community reports and crowd sourcing of spam caller numbers! LG G4

Dwain W March 30, 2016

Great app I have been using this app for about a week and it is amazing. It automatically blocks known spam calls without me having to enter the number. Occasionally, a few calls slip through but it has been many at all. I would recommend this app for others to use if you are getting spam calls constantly.

Jennifer Richardson April 5, 2016

THANK YOU Seriously.... this is the best app ever! I get so many spam calls everyday and now my phone doesn't even ring... they all get blocked!! If I could give this app 10 stars I would. Thank you for giving me back peacefulness!!!

Ms. Pink July 21, 2016

Doesn't support hang up This app is allowing spam and blocked callers to get through I thought there was going to be something done about this and also the hang up feature what's the point not understanding are you guys just havn PPL download for the heck of it

Kimber McCracken April 18, 2016

No longer works. It used to allow me to choose whether to send blocked callers to voice mail or to just hang up on them. I chose hang up for all spam. That is no longer an option. It does not save me time if I have to check my voice mail to delete the spam.

September 27, 2016

The old, bait and hook... eh, Mr. Number?! I'm guessing the removal of the great features was to get us to love and get used to best features on Mr. Number on the free version, take them away and then have us pay to have them back! That's dirty pool. Otherwise, I can't think of any reason why the option to hang up or send to voicemail is gone. Seriously, this used to be THE best app for number blocking, and with those previous features, I would have been glad to pay. But, this sneaky vice isn't okay.

Reg Rich May 5, 2016

Best app This is the best app! It works perfectly blocking local and national calls. I have recommended it a lot. It's a nice surprise when I see that it blocked an earlier spam call without my knowledge. I also like that it tells me what is blocked and that other users comment on their experiences with the bogus calls.

Kelli Bates July 1, 2016

Best thing ever Hangs up on blocked calls (doesn't send them to voicemail unless you tell it to), actually blocks texts, and you can see what other people have said about a suspicious number so others can warn you if it's dangerous. Couldn't ask for better.

Kelli Rohlman June 22, 2016

This is awesome This app is great. Spam calls were ringing like every hour and all through the night and filling up my voicemail before I downloaded it. After I installed I kept getting spam calls for only a few days as it figured out what I wanted blocked and I haven't had any since. Any time a new known spammer calls now it is automatically blocked. And I can see what missed calls are legit or if any are spam because of the great caller ID and reports from other users. Made my phone tolerable again, THANK YOU!

Misty Rae Souder June 15, 2016

Calls have decreased This app is fantastic! I no longer have dozens of spam calls on a daily basis. I like that it also gives you the name of the person calling from the landline or cell phone even if they are not in my contacts.

Jason Wojcik April 28, 2016

Number block I really like how it works. You hear your phone ring one time and then nothing. You look at Mr. Number and it shows you that it blocked the number and why. You can also see why the number was blocked by messages from other users. One great advantage is if you did have a number that was accidentally blocked you can override it very easily. Although I haven't had a number that was accidentally blocked.

Jennifer Puckett June 30, 2016

Doesn't Save Time You can identify spam and report/ block the numbers, but the calls still go to voicemail, rather than hanging up. You still have to go into your voicemail, listen to it, then delete, so no time is actually saved. This app would be perfect if it actually hung up on spam/ fraud numbers and did NOT send them to voicemail.

A Google User May 18, 2016

Now its just Trash. Don't install again. In 2010 this app was awesome. A must have. Now its a useless piece of trash taking up space. Everything has gotten worse. No longer can look up unknown callers. No longer have the option to hang up or send to voicemail. Caller id is non existent. Developers ruined a great app.

Hiya February 26, 2016

The reverse lookup function was used by a very small minority of users and we have a much better product for that with Whitepages. We decided to keep Mr. Number focused on call protection and blocking, though we did add free lookups for all calls you receive now, which is better than the previous limit of 20. Thanks for the feedback!
