## What is Begone?

Begone is a productivity app for iOS. It lets you block individual numbers or number ranges quickly and effortlessly. It can also act as a private directory for people or companies that you don’t want to add to your contacts but want to identify when called by.

Begone uses a simple wildcard character mechanism to add numbers into its database. You can use the # character as the wildcard. For example, when you enter +1 212-555-#### to its block list, Begone blocks the numbers from +1 212-555-0000 to +1 212-555-9999. This way, you can immediately block tens of thousands of numbers with one simple entry.

If you enter a number or number range to the directory list of Begone, the title you enter will be displayed as the Caller ID of a matching number when you receive a call. This way, you can remember who the number belongs to, without ever adding it to your contacts.

You can easily import and export your configuration with a single tap. Then, you can share your lists with friends and family.

Features of Begone:

• Auto Protect database for one tap protection
• Easy to use interface to add number ranges quickly and effortlessly.
• Blocked, allowed and directory lists to manage any caller number
• Ability to call numbers not added as number ranges
• Easy import and export for list configuration
• Community lists to easily install lists created by other users
• Detailed VoiceOver design for better accessibility support
• Dark mode support
• Interoperability with Junkman - Smart SMS Spam Filter

-----

Begone works completely locally on your device. It does not collect or transmit any data you enter into it. Begone respects the privacy of its users with utmost importance.

### 5/5 — Ура!

*2026-06-30*

Низкий поклон разработчикам. Все работает чётко – блокируется. Главное ставить With AND without country code в настройках. Если что DeepSeek расскажет подробнее, что куда вводить, чтобы заблочить :) Скачаю ещё и от партнёров блок на СМС.

### 1/5 — What’s the point? Real question

*2026-05-21*

I have updated the app after none of the calls on by rule list were blocked. Checked that entire series were correctly entered…only to find out later that day this thing definitely isn’t working. Curious to get an actual explanation.

### 1/5 — Tệ

*2026-05-12, version 9.4*

Như lol. Ko chặn đc đầu số +8402xxxxx

### 5/5 — Merveilleuse application

*2026-05-10*

Qui m'a fait retrouver la paix et le sourire quand le téléphone sonne ! MERCI 🙏 pour cette application et MERCI de ne pas encore une fois, nous coller un abonnement abusif, on n'en peut plus d'être ponctionnés de partout pour tout et tout le temps.... Cette application fait très bien son travail, il faut juste la mettre à jour de temps en temps mais elle vous le rappelle discrètement. Elle peut peut-être impressionner les personnes n'aimant pas trop mettre les mains dans le cambouis, mais rassurez-vous ce n'est qu'une façade ! Elle est simple à prendre en main et une fois configurée vous ne touchez plus à rien elle fait le travail. J'en avais essayé d'autres, avec ou sans abonnement, mais celle-ci est au dessus.... allez, encore un merci et bonne continuation au(x) développeur(s) 🙏👍😊👋

### 5/5 — Magnifique

*2026-04-11, version 9.3*

Cette app gratuite a changé ma vie. Avec 2-3 appels de démarchage par jour, j’avais du passer en mode appels inconnus bloqués. Ce n’est plus nécessaire avec Begone, qui fait un excellent boulot, gratuitement.

### 1/5 — Yeni dolandırıcı

*2026-04-06, version 9.3*

Milleti ilk başta ücretsiz diye kandırıp bütün verileri toplayıp daha sonra absürt rakamlar istemek vay uyanık vay

### 3/5 — Abonelik, iCloud Aile Paylaşımı'nda geçerli olmalı

*2026-04-04, version 9.3*

Merhaba, 2.000 liralık ücret tek kişilik kullanım için bana oldukça pahalı geldi. Tüm aile üyelerim için ayrı ayrı satın almam gerekiyor. Bunun yerine abonelik "Aile Paylaşımı" kapsamında geçerli olsaydı hiç çekinmeden alırdım. Lütfen bu özelliği ekleyin.

### 1/5 — No lists for Poland

*2026-03-10, version 9.2*

Useless in Poland. The developer shouldn’t sell it on the Polish market since the app is basically useless without the main feature being community lists of unwanted callers (which are only available for a few selected countries). Rather outrageous, really, the audacity to sell the premium plan for an app that, despite the five years on the market, still can be considered unfinished.

### 5/5 — Efficace

*2026-03-07, version 9.2*

Dans la prochaine release ce serait bien d’ajouter la possibilité de filtrer les appels masqués.

### 1/5 — Yetersiz Çalışma

*2026-03-07, version 9.2*

Maalesef uygulama engellemede yetersiz kalıyor, bazen çalışıyor bazen çalışmıyor. Bazen engelliyor basen engellemiyor .
