About this app

Tired of telemarketing calls? The app helps you with this :-)
A large registry with a list of numbers related to telemarketing is now included in the app. If you are contacted by a number that is verified as a sales/market research number, a popup will inform you.

With more than 1,500,000 downloads of the app (iPhone & Android) you can now download the brand new version of 180. The app has been adapted to all Android phones (including Android 8+).

--------------------------------------

We welcome emails to [e-mail] with information about specific errors in numbers, addresses, missing numbers, etc., so that we find and weed out all sources of errors.

We also welcome suggestions for new functionality and other improvements to the same address:-)

Ratings and reviews

It was a great app and super useful. But the paywall has ruined it. Am not really getting a lot of calls anyways, and the price per month for this service is just ridiculous. Especially given that the users are the ones providing most of the data. If the price per month was for a whole year, then maybe I would have considered it. I do get that somebody needs to be paid. But its not worth it for me anymore.

After a call I got a prompt to verify my mobile number, and then in the process of trying to do that I apparently signed up to a monthly subscription. This was not clear at all & a very deceptive way of business. Immediately sent an email to support requesting a refund. I had no idea a paywall had recently been put up, but explains why no calls have been identified in a while. Once they cancel this subscription they deceptively got me to sign up to I will be uninstalling.

I used to love this app and recommend it to everyone, but with the latest update putting scam- and telemarketing detection behind a subscription license is a really bad move and makes me go looking for a similar app. I can perfectly understand the need to make money as a business, but I cannot understand the decision to lock ALL the useful features of the app behind a subscription license, especially not when a lot of the scam- and telemarketing reports are made by users of the app.
