Nutze die App schon seit Jahren. Wird immer besser.

Response from developer

Vielen Dank für die 5 Sterne und Ihre langjährige Treue! Es freut uns sehr, dass Sie die Weiterentwicklung von Call Ranger so positiv wahrnehmen. Weitere Verbesserungen sind bereits in Arbeit.

Exactly what I needed

This app is exactly what I needed to get relief from the insane number of spam calls I’d receive. I’d receive about 50 calls a day from similar area codes. My number was part of a huge data leak and I was one day away from changing my number. I got on Reddit and someone recommended call ranger. I was very helpless and not optimistic it would work. Every other app requires you to block each number, but there was no way I could do that because it was area code based and a different number every time. This app has made my life significantly better and it was incredible it was so affordable.

Working and actively blocking calls

Edit: Its working for numbers never saved on my device but not working for numbers I recently deleted. You can purchase the app.

Don’t purchase this app.
This app is a scam.
I purchased it and it is even not able to block a a single number.
I cleared all my recent call list.
Also deleted the contact from my phone but still it is not able to block that number.
Truly pathetic.
I repeat again “DO NOT PURCHASE”

Response from developer

Thank you for updating your review! Numbers that were recently deleted from your contacts may still be recognized by iOS for a while. Please also delete any messages and calls with those numbers, then restart your iPhone, and they should be blocked as expected. If you need any help, reach out through support in the app.

Exactly What I was Looking For

I have been getting multiple calls/texts from various Ohio numbers that seem to think my number belongs to a Rick. With this app I have been able to block each and every area code from these annoying calls/texts. Many thanks to the developer!

少し手間がかかりますが強力にブロック出来ます。

非通知・+1・0800からの着信に困っていました。
非通知拒否はDOCOMOの設定で回避しておき、
海外からの着信と0800番のパターン作成でピタリと止まりました。
ブロック履歴が残ってくれると最も良かったです。

追伸です。
正しく拒否設定を行なったつもりでしたが必要な着信が拒否されてしまう症状で悩み 、アプリからサポートへ連絡した所、詳しく技術解説して頂き解決に至りました。
困った時に迅速なサポート体制は大変にありがたかったです。

Response from developer

5つ星のレビューをありがとうございます!海外からの着信と0800番のブロックが上手くいって良かったです。ブロックされた着信は、iOSの「履歴」にも表示されるため、そちらでご確認いただけます。 また、サポートについての温かいお言葉もありがとうございます。問題が無事に解決して何よりです。
