Ratings and reviews

this app works incredibly well with minimal ad distractions. I use a VPN that blocks ads so I don't even see any of the ads. other than that it works amazingly well at blocking any spam texts that I get, and I can block by the word or by the number or by a complete area code. it's definitely in the running as one of the best apps I've downloaded in a long time and I am highly considering getting a subscription or paying for the full year up front let's see if it will replace Google's spam filter

So far great app. Had it for a few days and cut out about 70 percent of spam calls. Couple of things. Anyway you can get the proximity sensor to work with the app. also with the dialer, anyway to type the first 2 or 3 letters of person name and it pulls up the person's name to dial. similar to what the default samsung dialer app does. also in text app, seems like no hyperlinks. when someone sends me a link, I cant click on it. have to copy and paste into browser. Thanks.

Fabulous! i keep getting random phone calls that I got certain loans. I've tried messing with them. I've tried giving them fake information. I've tried yelling at them. I've tried just hanging up on them, and they still come through. And i've tried blocking 'em.This app is the only app that has stopped it.And it tells me how many it's stopped in a day without actually physically getting calls! its cheaper than any other stuff out there.

• Silenced calls no longer show up twice in your blocked log.
