False Advertising

It states this has a free trial for a month & will charge your $19.99 a year or monthly & upon downloading it I was charged immediately after I picked which subscription & free trial. States it will charge again for the same amount next month even with the year subscription. PLEASE fix this!!!

Misleading app

Lists as in-app purchases, but in reality no feature is available without a paid subscription.

FAQ

What does this app do?

This app is designed to block unwanted telemarketing phone calls on your iPhone. It utilizes a comprehensive and updated directory of telemarketers to identify and filter out these calls, aiming to reduce interruptions and wasted time.

How does the app block calls?

The app identifies telemarketing calls using a large directory of classified entries. To enable blocking, you need to go to your iPhone's Settings, tap 'Phone' > 'Call Blocking & Identification', and then toggle the 'Callblock' switch on. Changes may take up to a minute to take effect.

Is this app free to use?

The app offers a free trial for one month. After the trial period, it renews automatically at $1.99 monthly or $19.99 yearly. You can cancel the subscription at any time through your Apple account settings.

What are the limitations of this app?

A key limitation is that the app cannot block calls that have no caller ID displayed, as this is an iOS system limitation. However, most telemarketers do not block their caller IDs, so the app remains effective for the majority of unwanted calls.

Can I add or remove callers from the block list?

Yes, you can manage the caller list within the app. If you encounter a missing or misclassified caller, you can tap the 'Add caller' button to add, remove, or reclassify them, helping to improve the app's accuracy for your specific needs.
