States it will charge again for the same amount next month even with the year subscription. PLEASE fix this!!! ### 4/5 — It works *2019-06-16, version 1.6.0* Call block works for those 800 numbers. There is a mini subscription fee so it doesn’t damage your wallet. In order to have the app function though, you must subscribe before you can mess around with it. No worries though since you get a free trial and can cancel anytime. ### 4/5 — App is amazing, but I’m having one issue *2019-02-15, version 1.6.0* The app works just as advertised. Since I downloaded the app, I haven’t received any unwanted calls. The only problem is that I’m on call at my job. I have my job saved in my contacts. However, the app blocks my job from contacting me. It’s been twice so far where my job has tried to call me in to work, and weren’t able to get through. How can I get the app from blocking my employer? ### 3/5 — Does NOT require contacts to block calls *2018-03-23, version 1.6.0* March 2018: Sadly, this app is no longer as effective as it originally was. Currently receiving multiple spam calls a week, typically with spoofed numbers that change constantly. ### 4/5 — Try letting the calls through to see it working... *2018-01-20, version 1.6.0* So, I had the app set to BLOCK but kept getting telemarketer calls and thought it wasn’t working. I recently set it to IDENTIFY to let the calls through but identify them and I realized it was stopping calls. Unfortunately, a lot still come through, but if this even stops just half of them, to me it’s worth the couple bucks a month to keep it. To the company: the reason I didn’t go 5 stars is because you should be able to open the app and see that it’s blocked calls. Even if Apple won’t let the app know the number that was blocked, just knowing it stopped a call on XXX date/time would let us know it’s doing its job. ### 1/5 — This app has never lived up to its promise *2017-12-15, version 1.5.0* I have had this app from the day it was released. I suffered through its initial bugs and fits. Now it just doesn’t identify more than 1 spam call a month, and I get like 2-5 a day. ### 4/5 — Trial period *2017-11-28, version 1.5.0* During my trial period I did not receive one unwanted call from a telemarketer. The instructions were easy to follow, and set up was quick. ### 1/5 — Iphone X *2017-11-11, version 1.5.0* Doesn’t work on Iphone X. Waste of subscription. ### 1/5 — these apps are a scam in its self *2017-09-02, version 1.5.0* how u gonna put this in the free category but then once the app is open thay wanna charge you 10.99 or 1.99 a month im good ill stay with hiya an block with my own hands. ### 3/5 — Doesn't work so good anymore *2017-08-25, version 1.5.0* It is hard to tell of an app like this truly works. Over the past few weeks (today is August 25, 2017) the number of unwanted calls has went through the roof. I gave the review 3 stars because how does one truly know of these apps work? The only way for me to judge it is based on the number of calls I get. I get a lot of crap calls these days. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — DO NOT BUY. SOES NOT WORK ON IOS 14 *2020-10-15, version 1.8.0* It doesn’t work & the author doesn’t respond to contact attempts. ### 1/5 — I want to cancel *2020-06-15, version 1.8.0* I want to cancel this now give me a phone number to talk to some about this please Rebecca Scoles 614-216-8085 ### 1/5 — Misleading app *2020-06-13, version 1.8.0* Lists as in-app purchases, but in reality no feature is available without a paid subscription. ### 1/5 — Nothing in app is free *2019-12-14, version 1.8.0* This app appears to be free but has no free functionality, as soon as it opens they require a paid monthly sub ### 1/5 — It says loading but it doesn’t work *2019-06-24, version 1.6.0* It won’t stop loading to work so I guess it doesn’t work ### 1/5 — Nope *2019-05-04, version 1.6.0* Does not work! I feel like I’ve received even more unwanted calls since I purchased this app. ### 1/5 — CallBloch on iPhone *2018-10-21, version 1.6.0* This app doesn’t work for me because I don’t get calls from 800 numbers or other long distance numbers. All my calls from prefixes that are shown as a local number so these calls aren’t blocked. ### 1/5 — Subscription service *2018-07-06, version 1.6.0* Not that it is apparent until downloaded. No try before you buy, except if you sign up for the free trial and hence might end up charged. I don’t even know if it’ll be worth it, without giving payment details from the start! ### 1/5 — Awful *2018-05-25, version 1.6.0* Absolutely awful, didn’t block any no caller ids or anything I do not recommend using it ### 1/5 — Bug does not let you unblock calls *2018-01-08, version 1.6.0* When the status is blocked for calls, clicking the icon does not set the status to not blocking. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Exactly what I needed *2019-11-02, version 1.8.0* I get tons of “ scam only” or prerecorded calls. This has worked perfectly for me! I can shut them off and not get overwhelmed by unwanted calls. I highly recommend . ### 5/5 — Okay on boarding , but works as advertised *2019-07-04, version 1.6.0* The onboarding was difficult, but getting past the subscription signup it worked as expected. Blocks unwanted calls similar to the Adblock model. ### 5/5 — This App is a MUST-HAVE! *2019-01-28, version 1.6.0* Got this app today because I got tired of receiving all of these calls. I researched around a bit and decided on this app. It has great price, a nice UI, and a universal block list, meaning everyone can contribute to it. It’s a must have, and it blocks those calls perfectly so I don’t have to deal with them. The functionality is great, the design is user-friendly, and it lets the whole community contribute to it. Great app overall. ### 5/5 — Very Useful and Effective *2018-09-18, version 1.6.0* One of the best spam blocking apps I have used. Started with the trial version and loved it so much a subscribed to the monthly plan. It’s simple but very effective. Definitely an app worth trying. Highly recommended! The developer did a great job with this app. ### 5/5 — Great Call Blocker *2018-01-22, version 1.6.0* Great app that blocks all those annoying sales call. I swear I’m on every list in America. Not anymore, I can now relax knowing I have blocked all those calls. This should seriously come with every cell phone. ### 5/5 — Stellar App ! *2018-01-17, version 1.6.0* As I am always getting calls from people I do not want to hear from , this app allows me to simply block them ! Very good app , highly recommend over similar applications. Simple interface and easy to browse . ### 5/5 — Great App for Blocking Calls! *2017-12-24, version 1.6.0* When you first download the app, you are walked through step by step on how to use the app. You have to setup the free trial (which is definitely worth it) and it functions just like the full version. I advise purchasing the full version because this app is great. The pre-loaded 3,000,000 numbers it blocks has worked excellent so far for blocking unwanted calls.I love that there are no ads too. Th ability to add numbers you want to block is awesome. I have no complaints so far about the app. The full version is affordable, and there are no surprise fees. 5 stars from me! ### 5/5 — Amazing app, works as described *2017-12-04, version 1.5.0* This is an impressive App. I get unwanted calls all the time. Was able to put this App to the test shortly after download. Highly recommended. ### 5/5 — Great app! *2017-12-01, version 1.5.0* This app is completely worth it. I get so many unwanted calls from telemarketers and this app makes it very easy to use so that you can block specific numbers from calling. Extremely helpful and extremely simple. I would recommend this app to anyone, because I know I am not the only one who receives unwanted ad calls! Such a great app and it’s exactly what I needed. ### 5/5 — Helps so much! *2017-09-20, version 1.5.0* When I bought this app I wasn't sure whether it would work or not but it really helped me and stopped me from getting those annoying telemarketer calls! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
