About this app

Get rid of the unsolicited calls once forever. Safely and absolutely free.

Telemarketers, phone scams or „just“ unsolicited surveys? The Should I Answer app can get you rid of all such calls.

How does the app work?

Whenever some unknown number calls the app checks it in its permanently updated database - immediately, without internet connection. If it finds out that other users reported the respective number as nuisance, it warns you against it. Or if you want it so, it can block it directly, the caller will not be able to reach you.

It is just the database used by the Should I Answer app which is an absolute unique part. It is composed directly by the users of the app: after each unknown call the users can rate it anonymously either as safe or spam. After approval given by our admins the report is then visible in the database where all users can benefit from.

What the app can do?

• It can protect you effectively against the unsolicited calls. You can set the level of protection exactly according to your needs: from simple alert of unsolicited call to direct blocking.

• It can block even hidden, foreign or premium rate numbers. Also you can write your own lists of blocked or allowed numbers.

• The app can be used as fully functional dialer app: you will find all your Contacts, favourite Contacts and complete call history in it.

• The app can protect you even offline. If you need to update the local database it waits for your wi-fi connection.

• It’s simple, even your grandma can use it :-)

How does the app deal with your personal data?

Everything is happening directly in your phone, and in your phone only - your data is never by passed to some 3rd party. The app can’t „see“ even your own phone number, all reports are fully anonymous, the app doesn’t send even your Contacts anywhere.

Ratings and reviews

Good Effort. It does block unwanted calls. I did like that, but my "accepted" calls were only on my contact list. All others were "blocked". All I wanted was the "unknown caller" identified so I can know who's calling, so that I can accept or block. Also, in using the keypad that comes with the app, I am unable to use it on an automated service. Had app for a few months, but need to uninstall. Thanks.

Have been using this for years and loved it. However, now I'm getting non-stop notifications to update the data base with no way to do it. Reading other people's reviews, I guess you now have to pay for updates. I've had no option to do it manually and am not going to pay for a subscription (not that I've gotten any notification about it or info on how to pay for it even if I wanted to!). Very disappointed in the change without any warning along with the constant notifications I can't stop.

I preferred the older version of this app. This one isn't as easy to use. I have trouble rating missed calls. I also don't like how this one takes precedence over my default phone app. The old version didn't work that way. This version and the old one both block reported telemarketers very well. Unfortunately neither do anything for spoofed local numbers, so I'm still berated multiple times per day by scammers.
