Basically everything I could need to filter incoming calls in one place. Block calls completely, send to voicemail or favorite to make sure it gets through. The only reason it's not a 5 star review is it blocks most of the calls it believes to be spam, but some still get through. Not remotely near the rate they were previously so all in all I'm happy with the service

You have to pay for premium service. Non premium is useless. It hasnt blocked any of the scam calls i received. I still get robo calls, messages, etc... These cell companies make good money. I feel this should be a free feature/service in this day and age! Dont bother unless you want to pay! I pay enough for my service. A few extra bucks just feels like they are squeezing me for more $$.🤷🏻‍♀️

I really like that I can do the reverse phone number look up but honestly I've never once had it actually find anything about the number. I would give a higher score but I always block scam calls immediately when I get one but then when I go to this app it's not blocked there so I have to do it again there. I like the feeling of security it gives me but I'm not really sure it's worth my time. Please make it better!

Oh sure, it'll block some robo calls. It'll also randomly block calls from your mother (a favorited contact on the phone) who has fallen and can't get up while there is food burning on the stove. If you have anyone whose safety you value, do NOT get this app! Oh, the best part? While blocking my mother's desperate calls for help, the app let through a completely random number that WASN'T even in my contacts at all.

This app is useless at blocking scam calls. I have repeatedly been receiving robo advertising calls claiming my auto extended warranty has expired, I have never had an extended warranty on my vehicle at all. I have requested to be put on the do not call list every time they call and they just keep calling from a different local number. This app fails to do its job. Do not recommend.

I'm a professional Handyman Electrician, plumber, & appliance technician and don't have time to deal with telemarketers or other nuisance calls. Since I've noticed a great decline in these type of calls, which allows me more time to do my job with more accuracy and less stress. Definitely a plus to my workday.
