Apps like this (and KeyMessages) frustrate me so much. They do a great job filtering out junk text (which I desperately need. I get 10 per day). But, your app is not a messaging app if you can't do basic stuff (like attaching pictures). As a result, I have no choice but to change my phone number and start anew because there is no workable solution out there. If you don’t have the resources to compete with the "big guys", change the game. I think this app should be changed to run IN ADDITION to other messaging apps. Let the big guys be the "default messaging app". This app should require access to messages but not require default messaging app. This app could then run behind the scenes and filter junk texts and do what it does best. I would pay for this functionality. This app is really 1 star but I am giving 3 stars because you have the potential to be 5 stars with small changes.

This is a good app so far. Clean UI and easy to use. I was SMS bombed, so I received, best that I can tell, about 15,000 SMS messages because someone signed me up for thousands of sites using my phone number. A lot of them came from 1+ 410 numbers, so I can blacklist those with this app. The thing I haven't been able to do is clean up my inbox without touching every message. I wish there was a 'select all' option when you filter messages so I could just delete all of the 1+ 410 messages. Addition: I was able to categorize all of the spam and get it out of my inbox, now I just need a way to delete all the spam! I have a way to delete spam as it comes in, but I still don't have the filter perfect so some good messages go in there. Great product, I tried about 10 others before this and nothing else came close!

One Star because it seems the app no longer has support. I've been trying to contact the developer to figure out how to attach files to outgoing messages. It does a good job filtering but needs some minor enhancements there too. 4/8/20 changed rating from 1 to 3 since Redwerks finally replied. If much needed improvements are made, I will rate higher. 9/16/20 Tried app again. Still no way to attach photos. No response from support!!!! Google Play should remove app.

This has STOPPED spam texts, which were the biggest problem in the middle of the night. My only complaints are that I can not attach a photo to send to anyone, while using this app as the default for my texts, or set a different notification sound for each contact.

Amazing app. Its spam blacklist feature works perfectly i downloaded it a week or so ago an its already cought 13 spam messages. I was getting 1 a day or sometimes 2 a day. I cant stress enough how great it is to not get pings and find out there spam or check my phones messages and have to delete garbage. Thank you guys for creating this

It works better than any other app for blocking keywords. Only problem is there is no way to attach files or pictures. It would be a Five Star Plus app if it had that capability.
