Ratings and reviews

It does a good job blocking many calls. However, it also blocks numbers in my contacts. It should be able to distinguish known numbers from spam. The app blocked a call from my house number. In addition, the free version only allows 5 numbers to be allowed. The paid version should give you more blocking options, not how many numbers ar allowed. It is their way of charging you more money on top of the ridiculous cost of owning a Verizon phone.

Ever since the last update in May, I've had numerous times when the call filter allowed high risk calls to go through. Before that, I'd never had that happen. I accidentally answered one! Don't know what you did in the last update, but it needs fixin! **I'm so tired of developers automatically blaming problems with the app on the user. I have my app set up properly, the only thing that has changed is YOUR update. Just fix it, I can't be the only person having this issue!

when it works it's great, but recently it's been pretty useless. I just got a call that said potential spam with a high risk level. it let it ring through and I had to manually dismiss the call. It has also been saying that it blocked the call ,but then I get a voicemail notification. it didn't actually block the call, it just sent them to voicemail even though I've selected to not allow that.
