It does not. I needed multiple schedules to block all calls. I cannot remember to turn my silence on and off so I needed something that I could set up different times for “do not disturb”. I also tried to register my email. I put in my email and clicked submit like twenty times and it would never submit. Bottom line...I need to know how to get a refund. **Developer response:** I'm sorry to hear that Call Bliss isn't meeting your needs. Please email me at support@nvariance.com so I can send you refund instructions. Best wishes, Randy ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work for me *2017-10-04, version 1.5* I’ve tried different modes and nothing works. Every unwanted calls rings through. I feel the directions included with this app are unhelpful. ### 2/5 — Worked okay *2017-07-07, version 1.5* This app worked okay in the beginning. All of a sudden I am getting an a bunch of phone calls. I am getting 15-20 call per day. This is very annoying. I have people I am responsible for. I do not want to miss any calls that may be about them. Very aggravating ### 1/5 — Absolutely does not work. *2017-06-19, version 1.5* I bought this ap because of a positive online review. Be careful so many online reviews are bogus. This ap does not work. I programmed it according to the directions. Calls came through. I did not find a single call I wanted blocked......blocked! A complete waste of $10. **Developer response:** Pastor Mike, I'm sorry to hear you were having trouble setting up Call Bliss. Please contact me at support@nvariance.com so I can help. Best wishes, Randy ### 1/5 — just a hack on do not disturb mode *2017-05-08, version 1.5* do not disturb blocks calls, sure, but it also blocks notifications. so if you use your iPhone as only a literal phone this app is fine, I guess; but otherwise it's garbage. expensive garbage. ### 1/5 — Call Bliss is a scam! *2017-04-25, version 1.5* Call Bliss is a scam! I activated the app and made all my settings, and yet I still get 4 spam calls a day by Unknown callers! And the Locations tab on Call Bliss tells me to make a location setting on my iPhone setting that doesn't even exist on iOS 10. ### 1/5 — Waste of money *2017-02-02, version 1.5* useless. no better than "do not disturb" setting. ### 5/5 — Has never failed me *2016-12-25, version 1.5* Easy to use . ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Be very wary of this apps subscription *2022-10-20, version 1.5* I thought this was a one time subscription price and I wanted to cancel it when I saw what I had gotten into. 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 ### 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. ### 1/5 — You need to keep DND on ! *2018-07-02, version 1.5* The DND feaure of ios mutes all notifications (of both calls and apps). I need an app to just block calls and let apps to send notifications. As this app is just based on the default DND feature of ios, it is not useful for my purpose! ### 1/5 — Completely useless, I regret buying it *2018-05-06, version 1.5* Completely pointless app because if do not disturb is on then what’s the point of the app. I regret this purchase, interface is also from 10 years ago. ### 1/5 — Call Bliss *2018-04-25, version 1.5* I could never get this app to work. It seemed to work sometimes, but it would fail to recogniz where the phone was. It would report that it had left the place I set it not to ring when I had not been in that place. It was hit and miss on not ringing when I was in that place. I don't know if it was not blocking calls that were not in my contact list. I don't know if it was letting calls that were through or not. I finally had to take the app off my phone for fear of I wasn't getting calls. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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! ### 5/5 — Stellar! *2017-12-15, version 1.5* I love what this does. ### 5/5 — Decent App *2017-10-24, version 1.5* It does what I need it to do. ### 5/5 — Great tool for filtering out nuisance calls! *2017-09-13, version 1.5* I use this constantly unless I am expecting a phone call from someone who is not on my allowed list. Anyone who can't get through can leave a message. ### 5/5 — Now works perfectly. *2017-07-17, version 1.5* Wrote Review 2 weeks ago gave 4 stars. So, won't repeat. Contacted Developer Randy. Previous concern was inability to receive texts from contact list. As of iOS 10.3, Apple lets you use the Emergency bypass "by contact" This means you can allow texts from whoever you wish, and their texts will come through. This now is by far the best app for blocking unwanted calls. 5 STARS ALL THE WAY. ### 5/5 — Excellent *2017-06-29, version 1.5* I've use this for about nine months now. I have found it to be extremely useful for turning my phone off for work calls once I get home. This is enabled me to give my cell phone out to customers and still not get their phone calls and text after work if I don't want them. Works great, never crashed my phone, no real problems once I got through the set up. I also want to say that I sent them a email requesting a change and I got an email back within hours saying they were working on it. How great is that! ### 5/5 — Swampdogie *2017-05-20, version 1.5* This is a really good app. Does what is says it will do. I've been using it for about 4 years and it is just great if you need to block SOME calls but let in the people that you care about call in. it gives you a lot more options than DND. 5 star guys! ### 5/5 — Call Bliss *2017-02-09, version 1.5* Love this app!! I've been using it since my first iPhone (iPhone 5). Still with app on my iPhone. I intend to use it with my iPhone 8. ### 5/5 — Excellent! *2017-02-05, version 1.5* This app just plain works!!! Any improvement would be a way to check calls that have been Blissed... --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
