Just shows error codes when attempting to use. Waste of money. Rip off. **Developer response:** We've fixed bugs about enable the extension in the new version. Please update this app. ### 1/5 — Limited functionality :( *2016-11-29, version 1.1* The wildcard blocking is limited to only two block rules. This isn't mentioned in the app description. Couldn't contact Dev via app as need to register for Chinese messaging site. Need a refund! :( If this can be fixed, it will be a great app ### 1/5 — Total CRAP *2016-11-02, version 1.0* Do not buy this app, it doesn't work at all. Total scam ### 1/5 — Mis sold *2016-10-29, version 1.0* Does not block withheld numbers ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2025-01-20, version 1.3* Keeps presenting error... too many digits. When I delete a digit it says number must be 10 digits. Well, which is it? If I put in a 10 digit number with wild cards it won’t accept it. No way to contact support. What a rip off. Useless scam app. Wild card rule is broken. Some ignorant chinese morons keeps sending texts in chinese. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2023-04-28* Keeps presenting error... too many digits.

It will not work with my IOS and load my numbers. I have deleted app turned off devices, turn them back on and reloaded app. Still it will not work. ### 1/5 — Bd *2018-12-12* App does not work **Developer response:** Please read the FAQ in the app. If you still have problem, you can contact us via email from the app. ### 1/5 — Iphone coat-tail? *2018-11-08* See no help from this app at all, if anything, I am getting more robocalls! Would have been better off buying a song than this ghost of an app! So what makes this any different from the blocking ability that is standard with the actual Iphone other than I don’t have to retype the number again for Iphone, apparently for your app I do, and what in the blooming —- Is a wildcard ?! Your instructions don’t explain it, I have turned these calls in to the no call registry but that does literally nothing, a lot like this app! And when doing this bizarre wildcard, it days US numbers must be 10 digits, I enter 10 digits and it keeps saying that and not taking it!!!! Not sure what your planet’s idea of what 10 is, but I am at a loss of how I can do anything other than add a mystery number, which makes eleven, and it still says must be at least ten, grrrrrrr **Developer response:** Hello, You must add numbers or wildcard rules to blacklist to block robocalls. Update: There is FAQ in the app, you'd better read that first. ### 1/5 — Fake App — don’t buy *2018-09-05* Does not work at all **Developer response:** Please update to the new version. If it still doesn't work. you can use "Report" in the app. We will help you to fix the issue. ### 1/5 — Can't block area codes *2018-08-23* Using the Wildcard function I was hoping to block calls from an area code. But it only allows a maximum of 4 Wildcard numbers. Waste of time and waste of money. 👎 **Developer response:** Please update to the new version and read the FAQ. ### 1/5 — THIS IS FOR ANDROID PHONES *2018-02-01* When you attempt to enter more than two wild cards it says that IOS won’t take more than 2. Save your money if you have an iPhone. **Developer response:** We've improved this function. You can add more wildcards in the new version. Please update this app. ## Most praised reviews (8 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Works very well *2021-08-06, version 1.3* I’ve been using this app now to block unwanted callers and exchanges. It’s easy to set up and actually does what it says. You can set up wildcard rules for a range of numbers and it will stop every call. ### 5/5 — Spams *2021-04-16, version 1.3* Excellent service, blocks spams callers well. ### 5/5 — Great App *2020-04-09* This App works Great. Best App on the App Sore. From Jack ### 5/5 — Great APP *2020-02-15* Just add numbers to the block list and I Never had a call from the block list. This app works. Thank You for making this Great App. From Jack ### 5/5 — Excellent app *2019-08-04, version 1.3* I used to get 4 or 5 spoofed scam and robo calls from telemarketers everyday. Now with the wild card function on this app, all the spoof calls have stopped. Thanks for this great app. Definitely worth the money. ### 5/5 — Working great for me *2019-07-26, version 1.3* I was getting daily spam calls for duct cleaning for weeks on end. Each time they called I noticed the phone number started with similar digits but the number was not exactly the same. I was blocking each phone number individually using native iOS but it is not working because as I said, the colour slightly changed the phone number each time. This app is ideal because it allows me to use wildcards in the blocking rule. For those who do not know what a wildcard is, a wildcard represents any digit. I know hardly ever received a spam call. I am delighted and very happy to give this small developer an excellent review. Thank you very much. ### 4/5 — Still hoping its consistant.. *2020-08-05, version 1.3* No option for short codes (Texting) I’ll assume its to be put under “phone number” ### 2/5 — The wildcard function *2018-03-15, version 1.1* The wildcard function seems limited to only 2 rules.
