Reviews of SMS Spam Stopper

Love this app!

I’ve been using this app for years and I love it. It works!!! You can tell it what words to filter into a spam text folder and it’s easy to delete the trash and not have to be constantly interrupted with dumb phishing attempts, political begging and scammers. Five stars all the way, and worth every penny. I appreciate that the developer isn’t in it to siphon off my data, too. Thanks SMS Spam Stopper!

Response from developer

The app works perfectly on iOS 16.3. Please let us know if you have enabled the extension of the application. To enable the extension, please go to Settings of iPhone -> Messages ->"Unknown and Spam” - Please verify if the iMessage Filtering and SMS Filtering are setup. To block a sender, please add his phone number as displayed in the SMS in the "Blocked Numbers” list of the application. You could also add some common words found in the SMS to block it. For example, if a sms always contains common words like “Buy now”, you can add this keyword also to the "Blocked Words" list. If you again started receiving the text from Blocked contact, please check if there is any word in the SMS matching with the words in the Allowed Words list. Allowed Words list override the Blocked/Numbers or Blocked Words list. Please clear your Allowed Words list of any such words and then check again if the sms are moved to junk. Also, please check that the number is not added to your phone’s contact. Please delete any blocked number from you Phone’s contact book also. Any phone number stored in the phone’s contact will be treated as legitimate sms. We also suggest you to go through the Help section of the application once. Also, please check if the application is setup and settings are optimised as shown below : a) Please check if the SMS from the same sender is already present in the Inbox. If the same sender has already sent the sms, the iOS will again add it to the same thread. Hence, please delete all SMS from the same sender.(including current one) After this, when the next SMS comes, it will be moved to the Junk section. b) Please check if the sender is not there in you contact list. Otherwise, the sms will be considered legitimate by the application and iOS. c) Please clear the Allowed Words section in the application. It might be matching with some section in the SMS. d) Also, please enable the “Heuristic Detection”, “Abusive Words Detection” and "Block Unknown SMS" section in the application. e) Do the SMS repeatedly contain some words ? Please try adding these words as well to the Blocked Words list. f) Please check under Settings -> Messages ->"Unknown and Spam” - Please verify if the iMessage Filtering and SMS Filtering are setup as shown in the attached screenshot. g) After this, please reboot the phone once. After following these steps, the issue will be resolved. Regards Support Team Email : support@runisoft.com

Incredible. This app really works.

I’m blown away by how well this app works. After installing it, I spent a few minutes adding words to the blocked list based upon words in the spam texts I was receiving most often (usually political). Since downloading the app several months ago, I’ve only received 2 spam texts! The ability to customize and backup the spam filter is a total game changer. Thank you for this app!
