It would beneficial if you could add more categories such as Scam/Fraud, etc, etc.. Thank you. ### 3/5 — ios17.x doesn’t work *2024-06-20, version 2.2.1* ios17.x doesn’t work ### 2/5 — Needs Evaluation but…? *2024-03-14, version 2.2.1* I’m sorry but your app doesn’t let me paste-in the number I copied and want blocked. I would have to write the number down on paper and to input it into the Callhound app. What could be more inconveniencing. …??? ### 4/5 — Wider range of numbers *2024-01-31, version 2.2.1* Can you take inspiration from the WideProtect application to block a wider range of numbers? WideProtect Spam is able to block 120 million numbers via several filters in the phone application. Thanks for your job ! ### 3/5 — Wird nicht mehr weiter entwickelt! *2023-03-22, version 2.2.1* Leider inzwischen eine tote App. War wirklich gut! ### 5/5 — Works like a charm *2023-03-02, version 2.2.1* The BEST app without doubt. Also recommend their SpamHound for SMS blocking. ### 2/5 — Funktioniert nur sporadisch *2022-08-29, version 2.2.1* und keine Reaktion auf E-Mail ### 5/5 — Very nice app *2022-08-25, version 2.2.1* I love it ### 2/5 — Don’t work on Brazil area *2022-08-25, version 2.2.1* When changed to Brazil area (+55) needs just 2 number local area code. Phone number format is +55-AA-9NNNN-NNNN for cel phones, and +55-AA-NNNN-NNNN for non mobile phones. Can’t add enough <#> to complete configurations ### 1/5 — App not keeping Calls from coming through *2022-05-30, version 2.2.1* I have tried numerous rules for I phone combinations to keep calls from coming in and I’m still receiving 10 or more calls a day. I just installed the 4 days ago and nothing has improved. I’ve followed the directions and made sure the settings on the phone are for Callhound. What am. Doing wrong? Now the app won’t open!!!!! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — I don’t see how it has stopped anyone *2025-07-26, version 2.2.1* Doesn’t matter doesn’t work ### 1/5 — They SELL your information!!!! *2025-07-13, version 2.2.1* Downloaded, then immediately began to get spam texts, calls. ### 1/5 — Horrible App *2025-04-14, version 2.2.1* It’s clumsy. It’s counterintuitive. It’s annoying to use. ### 1/5 — Not Working Properly on Spam Calls *2024-11-29, version 2.2.1* This App 100% can’t identifies Spam Calls, Truecaller works better than This application. It’s a Fake App !! ### 1/5 — Ya no funciona como antes *2024-08-02* Hace unos años la instalé y funcionaba de maravilla, lo que más me gustaba era que se podían bloquear series de números, pero desde hace meses ya no funciona, ya no bloquea series de números. **Developer response:** HI! Thank you for downloading our application. We will pass on your problem to the developers. Best wishes. ### 1/5 — Las reglas no funcionan / Rules not working *2024-02-09, version 2.2.1* Me bajé esta app para poder crear reglas de bloqueo, pero no funciona. Pérdida de tiempo ### 1/5 — Фейк *2024-01-19, version 2.2.1* Полный фейк. Идут звонки на номера в списке, как будто никакого списка нет ### 1/5 — c'est incompréhensible… *2023-11-30, version 2.2.1* je n'arrive pas à comprendre le blocage avec les #,MaisParContreJ'ArriveTrèsBienÀBloquerDesNumérosEntierMaisMalheureusementJ'AuraisBienVouluBloquerDesPréfixesDeNuméroDeTéléphoneCeQuiAuraitÉtéBienParceQueJeMeFaisHarcelerOccasionnellementParDesescrocs qui veulent nous prendre de l'argent où nous faire avoir des formations CPF ou tout autre chose encore… Et si c'est possible que dans les prochaines mises à jour il puisse avoir des outils de blocage dans cette application plus intuitif et avoir plus de détails et de précisions dans les explications de l'utilisation du blocage avec les #ParRapportAuNuméroDeTéléphone, Ça serait je pense et vivement recommandé par des passionnés de programmation comme moi qui est particulièrement passionné par l'informatique en général mais malheureusement j'ai essayé de comprendre le fonctionnement de l'application en général mais je n'y suis pas du tout arrivé… et je pense que ça intéresserait pas mal de gens J'espère… pour avoir des mises à jour qui permettrait une meilleure compréhension de ce système de blocage par l'application, merci d'avance au développeur, et merci pour avoir lu mon commentaire… Je pense que toute idée est bonne à prendre, Par contre vous en faites quelque chose d'utile tant mieux sinon tant pis. Malheureusement en tant que simple utilisateur et non pas en tant que développeur d'applications mobiles je ne peux me permettre d'obliger qui que ce soit à faire quoi que ce soit(Et de toute façon je ne peut obliger quiconque dans tous les cas), cette liberté de pouvoir faire sous certaines conditions juridiques bien sûre… Même développer une application et même la pire des applications, c'est une liberté comme une autre, même si… Je pense pouvoir dire que je n'ai pas grand-chose à donner comme avis sur le fait que faire une application Malfaite peu intuitive mal codé ou autre… Ce qui n'est peut-être pas cette application, mais c'est possible de faire ce genre de choses, et chacun fait ce qu'il veut mais si ce n'est pas très utile ça n'a pas grande importance de le faire, mieux vaut rien faire que mal faire les choses. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2023-05-22, version 2.2.1* It doesn’t even learn from a list of numbers I use an iPhone 13 and have the most current update from Apple. Can’t give you a screenshot as I’ve already moved on from the app. ### 1/5 — Still getting unwanted calls *2023-04-19, version 2.2.1* It has not stopped any unwanted god dam calls it is about worthless ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Works like a charm *2026-06-11, version 2.2.1* 2026, and it still works like a charm and totally free.
