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.
