## What is Blockr?

Goodbye spam. Hello peace and quiet.

Blockr stops spam calls and junk texts before they ever reach you. One simple setup, one payment, protection for life. No subscription, nothing renews.

WHY BLOCKR

People get dozens of spam texts and robocalls every month, and a single text scam costs victims an average of $1,000. Blockr protects your phone quietly in the background, 24/7.

CALLS

More than a million known spam and scam numbers are blocked automatically, and our database updates continuously to catch new ones. Your contacts always ring. Add any number to your own block list in seconds.

TEXTS

Scam and junk texts are filtered to the Junk folder before they interrupt you. Turn on ready-made keyword packs for common scams, or add your own words and phrases to block.

LISTS

You stay in control. An allow list makes sure the people who matter always get through, and a block list keeps unwanted numbers out for good.

FAMILY PLAN

Protect the people you love. The Family plan covers up to 6 people, each with their own account and protection. Perfect for parents and grandparents, who are targeted by scammers the most.

PAY ONCE, YOURS FOR LIFE

One payment unlocks Blockr on your iPhone forever. No subscription, no renewals, no surprises. Your protection keeps getting better without costing you more.

### 2/5 — It works, sort of

*2026-03-31, version 1.47*

This app is better than nothing but still lets texts from area codes I’ve blocked through occasionally.  Very frustrating. I’m bailing and trying another app.

### 1/5 — NO TECH SUPPORT

*2026-02-11, version 1.47*

Why isn’t it working if it is paid for and turned on?

### 1/5 — Don’t bother

*2026-01-27, version 1.47*

TONS of spam with words that are supposed to be blocked get through almost every day. I emailed the Help address that they give twice and no one responded. This app is somewhat of a scam.

### 1/5 — My last option

*2025-12-08, version 1.47*

I’ve been trying to reach support for weeks and have not heard back. So hopefully leaving a 1-star will make someone appear to care. I suddenly keep receiving spam texts despite my Blockr list specifically screening for words contained in the text. I’d like help with what to do about that.

### 2/5 — Inconsistent results

*2025-12-01, version 1.47*

Please improve the algorithm. Too much spam getting past the filters and settings.

### 2/5 — Blocks

*2025-11-30, version 1.47*

I have a lot of words in text that get through the Blocker

### 1/5 — Less-than-useless junkware

*2025-11-25*

This app filters NOTHING!!!! Add any text you want to block, any sender, etc. it makes no difference whatsoever. This app is a total and utter scam, a waste of money. In fact, since adding Blockr, I actually get far, far more spam texts than I used to. It’s almost as though the act of adding key phrases, text, or senders to Blockr greatly increases the volume of spam by a factor of 10 or 20. You have to wonder if the creator of Blockr isn’t actually supplying my phone number to the spammers!

### 1/5 — Use to work

*2025-11-10, version 1.47*

Doesn’t work anymore and is very buggy, i haven’t changed devices they broke something on this app through an update probably

### 5/5 — Finally

*2025-10-28*

Finally an app that blocks the absurd amount of spam text I get. The only thing it doesn’t block for whatever reason is coinbase spam. Everything else it doesn’t though

### 1/5 — Blocker not working.

*2025-10-16, version 1.47*

Turned on my phone today at 10 o’clock and had to delete over 10 unblocked text messages from the Republican Party going to get rid of blocker from my phone.
