Issues actually accessing premium features after upgrading
I downloaded this app to block the innumerable spam and fraud text messages I receive, and I needed to be able to do it precisely using keywords. After a couple of months, I decided to upgrade to the paid subscription as the app was working well, and I wanted to block a much longer list of keywords than just 5. After upgrading, I’m still unable to block more than 5 keywords. Tapping the “Block” button simply does nothing. I am, of course, able to add more than 5 “Allow” keywords, but that is not a function I need. I have tried every combination of close and reopen, turn on and off, delete and reinstall, and nothing has helped. I even tried deleting my account to start from scratch, but due to the way Apple manages free trials, I wouldn’t be able to do that for another week. 2.5 stars for what seems to be a 5 star app, but doesn’t consistently handle the standard process of upgrading to premium features.Show lessApp does a good job but raising the price by 50% without any additional features is very sleazy
I was just notified (by Apple, not the developer) that the price for premium is going from $4 per month to $6. There's nothing new that the app does now that it didn't do before and no justification from the developer as to why the price is jumping by this high of a percentage. Given these facts one can really only assume that it's simply greedy stakeholders wanting to sneakily siphon more and more money from loyal customers. Having been a customer for almost 2years I've already spent ~$100 in monthly subsriptions ($48/yr) and now they want $72/yr? Get real. The world of subscription based pricing for anything and everything is way out of hand and this is a prime example of company's using dark patterns like this to take advantage of users. I myself will be cancelling mine immediately and no longer recommending the app to friends as I once did.Show lessMisses so many spam texts plus app has too many bugs
Essentially this is worthless. It amazes me that they can even sell this on the App Store via subscriptions. 1. Even with spam text setting to extreme blocker which is supposed to block all texts unless they are in your contacts it still misses many. How hard is it really to block all incoming texts not in your contact list. 2. Even worse when you remove the app from an active screen the settings for their so called AI blocking and the extreme blocker noted above they both turn themselves off!!! Again basic functions of any app when you select on they should stay on. This is a worthless, ineffective scam of an app. 3. Keyword blocking of spam only allows me to enter a total of 5 keywords. Again worthless. Lastly, try contacting their support. They make it look so user friendly like you can chat with someone to resolve your issue and guess what? It’s an automated chat robot which is completely worthless. Don’t waste your money with this app it is useless.Show less
