Works perfectly, one of my most important apps

I previously wrote that I was having trouble with diminished performance. Found out that I needed to make a particular setting change in my iPhone. I did so and now it’s working perfectly. Thanks!

Works great for me

I’ve been using this app since October of 2020, I paid $3 for it and have found it works great for me, it honors my blacklist and my whitelist. I’m grateful especially during political spam season it’s so nice not to get interrupted constantly but to go leisurely review my spam folder from time to time and block every number in there. I find this app well worth the $.

Effectiveness diminished

I’ve had this app for several years. It used to be 100 percent effective but now not so much. For example I have “Trump” and “Biden” in my blocklist but I get unsolicited texts from unknown numbers with these words all the time. Also I’ve blocked my address and street name yet I get texts from unknown numbers offering to buy my house. I have many more examples. Something needs to be fixed.
