Does NOT work.

Does NOT work. Free app but paid subscription inside

Hi there, yes, the app works under subscription model, but you have 3-7 days to check functionality and cancel subscription if you want.

Something's broken

UPDATE: GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE! Giving 5 stars, again. The developer contacted me and fixed the issue within one day. I love this app, again! Went from receiving at least 30 spam calls per day to maybe 1! It worked great for awhile. Now, when I try to update my blocked list it just keeps "working" for about 10 minutes with a screen message stating "Block list is being updated...1 of 25...". I turned off all lists except 1 and 2, but it keeps saying I'm updating 25. Then, it stops and I get a pop-up starting "Error Please give WideProtect permission to block numbers through iPhone Settings: Phone: Call Blocking & Identification.". I allowed that access since I purchased this app! So, it's no longer working and needs to be fixed.

UPDATE: Thank you very much for review! Hello, could you provide me via email (support@v-and.com): 1) screenshot of WideProtect app to see what prefixes you have added; 2) screenshot of 'iPhone Settings: Phone: Call Blocking & Identification' to see that all WideProtect extensions are enabled; Thank you !

Use to be good

Been using this app since June 2018 and its done the job - i think.
I say that as there is no record kept in the app to tell you if it has blocked calls.
It’s design is nice and simple and entering numbers is easy.
Now after this update they have moved to a greedy subscription model.
And ghey only gave me 3mths free.?????????

Hi there, please install version 6.0.1, it returns back functionality for paid users. Thank you for your patience and sorry for inconvenience.

Purchased app, now subscription based…

I get that there are costs associated with development, but it’s pretty greasy to buy an app outright and then decide to change the pricing model to subscription based…. I’ll be deleting this app!

Best prefix blocker

Best app I’ve found to block entire number prefixes. Eliminated the problem of robocallers who use the same number prefix and change the last few digits. This app does one thing but does it well, I can recommend.

Thank you very much for your review! I am glad to hear that the app is helping you!

Had for years, blocks all my fake cloned inbound calls

Well worth a few dollars, has been blocking my suspicious calls with same first 6-digits for years. An add-on is required for SMS blocking, I don’t have too big an issue with SMS spam but will buy it if I do.

For those saying it doesn’t work anymore, make sure you enable the different versions in your phone settings under call blocking. Apple is making you explicitly allow 3Party apps like this for them to work.

Thank you very much for the review, and using the app for years!

So simple

I spent an hour and a half being spam called every few minutes by scammers harassing me on a prefixed set of numbers - took a min to setup the numbers to block, and I haven’t been bothered since. Virgin mobile’s solution was to change my number - glad I didn’t do that 😛

Thank you

I’m so happy that this exists, for years I’ve been hounded with robocalls and had reached the point where I was about to change my phone number when I stumbled on this and now… silent bliss

Thank you very much for your review!

Thank you, total lifesaver

I never rate apps, but this one deserves it. I was getting several spoofed calls a day from area codes that are in the state my phone number is from despite using other apps, like ATT’s CallProtect, which only sort of slowed down the deluge. This app stopped them - I was able to look up the area codes from that state and selectively block almost every number not in my contact list, while leaving the phone numbers from everywhere else in the US alone. I needed this feature because I do get a lot of legitimate calls from area codes in other parts of the US, e.g., the state I live in now, and blocking everyone not in my contact list isn’t feasible. This probably isn’t the solution for people who get a lot of legitimate calls from their own and nearby area codes, unfortunately, but it’s made a huge difference to me. Thank you!
