Update*** great app but with the changes, reverse lookup only works with numbers called not texted nor voicemail calls not guaranteed. You cannot block numbers from voicemail that made it pass phone log. To add numbers you can only add from log. Update: its working but needs to upgraded. You can't copy calls to see if an important call was blocked erroneously. 2. If it is blocked by error, it has to be added to favorites which person may not be a favorite.

Worst app ever. This app does everything except work properly. It's always freezing, glitching, never shows the caller. What's the point? All calls come unknown, new feature verified business calls but guess what none are verified. Calls come in , doesn't show on the call log. App freezes can't move it. Uninstalled and reinstall still doesn't work, force stop still doesn't work properly. App is useless garbage. 0 star 🌟 from me!

It works better than I expected. I appreciate the ability to either "block" a number when I'm sure it was spam or "send to voicemail" when I'm not sure. If they call again and don't leave a message or leave a spammy message I can block future calls, but if they leave a non-spam message I can return the call and mark it okay for future calls. This app saves me time and annoyance. As far as I can tell it hasn't made any false positive spam designations. Well worth it.
