Leave a Review Firewall
Doesn’t Work
This app allows you to whitelist all the contacts that are in your phone and block every buddy else. I tried using that feature and it will work for a while but then I have people that can’t call me because it’s blocking them. Contacted support and they responded in a timely fashion told me to restart my phone delete the app reinstall the app and I did. It worked again for a few hours and then stopped working.Show lessro erto erry
Amazing!
Used to use Robokiller in the past but so many calls ended up coming through but with Firewall I’ve not had a signal spam call ring my number it’s a godsend! Where I work I’m constantly calling customers and with the option here to call using a temporary number that really makes my life easier. My only issue with this app is the call quality it’s far less then a normal call I find myself sometimes declining an incoming call only to call them back using my normal phone appShow lessdfrfdaniel

Hi there, we're so glad you've had such a great experience with the Firewall app! Thank you for sharing and reviewing! {#HS:1213227544-190367#}Only one problem...
I want to answer with my iPhone but don't want known & unknown spam callers. My contacts say the voicemail on Firewall is very weird, everyone complains about it. ( I have no idea as I don't call myself) So I have it set to block known callers but not unknown callers. I'd like a setting for Contacts only thru my iPhone. Is that a thing I don't know exists?Show lessscdfxg
Good App but...
I installed FIREWALL a few weeks ago. I liked it, I recall that; but, I ended up UN-installing FIREWALL-just can not recall the exact reason! Regardless, ever since I uninstalled FIREWALL, I’ve been experiencing a problem. I have received about 5 or 6 text messages, over time not all at once. I assume they originate from FIREWALL Customer service division. They all basically say the same thing & I have followed through with every recommendation from each text. The text says-“I missed a call from (xxx) XXX-XXXX because FIREWALL was unreachable.”(Probably because it’s NOT on my iPhone any longer!) Then it goes on to say to call *720 to PERMANENTLY DELETE FIREWALL & to un-forward calls to it from my iPhone. Which, I have done SEVERAL TIMES! Apparently, this is NOT working! Can someone help?? I’ll check back to see if anyone from Firewall answers my questions here! Thank you.Show lesssmc3955

I did the two week trial, nothing wrong If privacy is what you desire. BUT I deleted this app from my phone. The app disappeared but the app is still running in my cloud and I can’t get any phone calls it tells the caller this is the Firewall and you leave a message. O never hear the phone ring and I have missed so many calls, this is a negative impact on my life and income. Hope to get this situation resolved soon! I will update!Show lessJQuePi
No more annoying calls! Yay!!😃
Thank you for giving me back my phone firewall- it’s been so nice-not to have to talk to all those annoying telemarketing sales people- so God Bless you! Keep up the funny little quips like not gonna give you up etc it brightens my day!
Also-if you could make a way where I can delete all of the ones in my history list faster that would be awesome!!
Thanks again!

Major Bug Issues
Although I love that it blocks all spam calls, it is also blocking and not ringing through/notifying me of whitelisted contacts. The major issue I’m having is when calling a number it will not allow me to hang up a call EVER. I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled the app several times as well as shutting off the phone and restarting it, and double checked to make sure the button on my phone was not on “DO NOT DISTURB” mode. But I still having the same issue. Very frustrating!!!!Show lessMaya🧡D
Review of worth of Firewall
Firewall is very good for ID-ing robo callers, excellent, in fact. Thank you for a very good job of that portion of your services.
However, Firewall does not review all telephone numbers listed as authorized entries in my phone contacts list. In other words, all numbers listed with authorized entry in my contacts list - OTHER THAN FAX machine listings, should be allowed to ring thru’. Businesses, medical offices, and some friends who also have business or secondary phone numbers, should be allowed to ring thru’.
Further, I do not understand nor have I discovered the use of the alternate list provided by Firewall. At first I thought it was for alternative numbers authorized by titled entry as described in the paragraph just above. I quickly learned that apparently is not what the alternative list is for. Please send an explanation as to the correct use of you alternative “whitelist” is for & how to manage that tool.
Thank you very much for the help. Faith PriorShow lessChaShinOak

Hi there, thanks for reviewing! When using the whitelist mode, the Firewall app will connect the call if the number is saved to your whitelist! If a number isn’t saved in your whitelist, Firewall with block the inbound call from that number. If the callers you’ve added to your whitelist are still being blocked, send our Support team a message at support@tryfirewall.com along with your account details so they can further assist! {#HS:1212006487-190218#}Great at Stopping Robocalls, but in dire need of scheduling Feature
This is by far the best app I’ve found for filtering Robocalls. One huge drawback, I have to go manually pause it for work hours so I don’t miss an important call. I try to whitelist as many as possible but can’t do them all. I’m close To dropping my sub because of this hassle. If it had an option where you could schedule pauses it would be perfect.Show lessGravitaZ24
