Works, but…

The App in general works and blocks calls according to set filters. But: the blocked calls still appear as calls in absence. I would prefer total „silent“ blocking without any notification and having a report in the App that shows on request which and how many calls have been blocked. I‘m using the App under iOS

Response from developer

Thank you for your feedback. Blocked calls appearing in Recents is simply how iOS call blocking works, and no call blocking app on the App Store can change this behavior. Every blocked call is still prevented from ringing, so you won’t be disturbed, and your Recents list serves as a log of all the calls that were blocked, often labeled as "Call Ranger: Blocked". A report of blocked calls inside the app isn’t possible at the moment, as iOS does not provide this information to apps. As soon as it becomes possible, we will definitely add this feature.

Great support

This is a useful app and comes with great support:)

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.

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.
