Call Bliss silences unwanted callers, while ensuring you never miss important calls, making Do Not Disturb easier to use and more powerful. Allow or silence callers and groups of callers with a single tap, or automatically by location, Home, Work, or anywhere else. At the office? Allow co-workers and your boss to ring your phone. At home? Ignored! Create groups of callers such as Friends, Family, Co-Workers, Bowling Team, and allow or silence all of them with one tap. Includes special modes. Put unwanted callers in the "ExcludeList", while ensuring other contacts can always reach you. Need to focus on a project? "Suppress All Callers" mode sends all calls to voicemail until your project is done.

But I cannot find a place on their app to show my account to cancel. That is a huge WARNIN sign to it being illegal! It appears then the only way I can get rid of the payments is to have my credit card company block it and hopefully I will not have to cancel my credit card to get it stopped ### 1/5 — This app no longer works...period. *2020-10-28, version 1.5* Do not waste your money or time. I’ve already submitted for a refund. Their site is shut down and latest update was 4 years ago. ### 1/5 — Stupid cb Microsoft Facebook exchange *2020-01-17, version 1.5* I don’t like the fact that you have to use that stupid Microsoft facebook exchange crap if you want to put someone in allow list!! Because then it sticks everyone in 1 chat!! Very confusing and stupid function! Now I lost messages because I deleted that chat! Need to improve that. It makes obvious you have that when you look at ph also when you put your phone on do not disturb you alway see it or everyone can see. It should have been more stealthy. Ridiculous ### 2/5 — Sometimes it works *2019-04-01, version 1.5* Sometimes it works but sometimes it doesn’t ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2019-03-18, version 1.5* App is not working, sent an email to support got no answer, can’t register the app, can’t get a refund... ### 1/5 — I just want to stop ‘Unknown’ *2018-12-20, version 1.5* I get multiple spam calls a day pitching different things. They usually show as “unknown”. I am ok to ignore all unknowns because really they are nearly all spam. Your product was advertised to me as having this ability. You do not make this simple goal simple to achieve. Make it simple in future and i will adjust rating. Thank you ### 1/5 — Requires DND *2018-11-26, version 1.5* Since this app requires DND to be turned on, it is not good during the day since all non-call notifications will be blocked. Useless for someone who wants to block some calls but still get emails! ### 1/5 — Uses DND mode *2018-09-28, version 1.5* iOS CallKit has facilities to do this without relying on DND mode. If I had wanted to use DND I’d have just done it by hand. This is not advertised in the app’s description. ### 5/5 — Love it so far!! *2018-07-23, version 1.5* Works great!!! Does exactly what I want by silencing an annoying ex!! ### 5/5 — This app is my helper! *2018-07-10, version 1.5* Love this app! It cancels all numbers not on my contact list and I am no longer harassed by unwanted calls! ## Frequently asked questions about Call Bliss ### What does Call Bliss do?
