Simple and working well
Love this simple, solid app that does filtering well
Works well
Detects span well, got rid of pesky election messages
Please allow keyword to have less than 3 chars
I have no idea why thereβs a limit on it. In my case it just force me onto other apps.

Thank you for your feedback. I implemented a character limit to ensure effective filtering without flagging legitimate messages. Less than 3 characters can be overly broad, leading to unintentional filtering. I appreciate your understanding and kindly ask you to reconsider your rating. - Adi.
A well thought out text blocking tool
Update: march 26, 2023. This app has worked spectacularly well for me since my first review. I can't recall the last time a spam text came through. I am using the developer's automatic blocking feature, which he is constantly updating.
Occasionally, I check the "Junk" folder to see if a text message was accidentally blocked. That's very rare and the application makes it easier prevent that in the future.
The flexibility the author provide you in terms of allowing and blocking text messages is incredible. And it's free with no ads. π
-----------------------------------------------
One of the problems I have with texting is that I receive scam text messages that are sent by email. Supposedly my carrier can block this, but I haven't seen it work yet. When I saw this app had a setting to block text messages sent by email, I decided to download it and take a look. "Simply Filter" offers incredible flexibility in terms of blocking configurations.
Once you have created a configuration and/or selected some options, it allows you to test to see if your block will work. That's a pretty cool feature. I also found this app uses iCloud to synchronize settings between multiple installations (ie: installed on an iPhone and an iPad). That is a huge timesaver if you have complex filters set up. If your block is valid, the test will tell you so.
The "blocked" text message is treated just like email spam and quietly sent to a text spam folder. For those that don't want to dive into this level of detail, Simply Filter offers a predefined "automatic" configuration. And did I mention it's completely free with no ads?! For now, I'm just going to try it with these emails scammers. If it works as I'm hoping it will, I may set up some additional rules for some more discrete blocking.
Finally, I'm really glad to see an application privacy policy from the developer. From my experience, that is often a good sign of application quality. My thanks to the developer for freely offering a quality text spammer solution.
