Regular user of this app needs repairing If locked out and numbers encrypted Just press + and contacts are back ### 2/5 — Not exactly call blocking *2023-08-13* The app will just change the contacts, and if you try to place a call it will let it. So only useful for someone if you don’t remember the numbers ### 4/5 — Needs a whitelist instead of a blacklist *2023-05-24, version 4.3.1* Would be great if you could block everyone in your contacts except for a few key people. Or even allow you to create block groups ### 3/5 — Texts *2022-12-24, version 4.3.1* Pity it doesn’t stop sending texts as well as calling ### 3/5 — Doesn’t work if you know the number *2021-09-05, version 4.3.1* Works well, but if you know the number it isn’t helpful. Like other reviews have suggested, it needs to recognize numbers (that way you can’t just enter them as new contacts and carry on reaching out to people you shouldn’t). ### 1/5 — Don’t get tricked *2021-05-01, version 4.3.1* It’s a good idea, but doesn’t work at all.. it just erases the name mad the number still shows up. Which you could do yourself by erasing the contract. Now if you didn’t know the number. Now if you didn’t know the number you will have it memorized and you can’t even do that. ### 2/5 — Easier to use but doesn’t help *2021-03-16, version 4.3.1* If you memorized the phone number of the person you’re trying not to call...it won’t prevent you from calling 🤦🏾‍♀️ ### 1/5 — THE ABSOLUTE WORST. *2021-02-24, version 4.3.1* Do NOT use this app unless you want to be put in the most awkward situation. The WORST ### 1/5 — No worth *2021-02-20, version 4.3.1* App is just taking contact from your contact book. If you know number by heart and type it, app does not block it ### 1/5 — Sadly this doesn’t work *2020-12-06, version 4.3.1* There is such an unfortunate need for an app like this because be honest- who hasn’t had too many and decides it’s a good idea to text. The only thing that I use this for is to send me a message to NOT text. PLEASE fix this app. ### 1/5 — Does it work *2020-12-03, version 4.3.1* They still get messages! ### 1/5 — Absolutely terrible *2020-11-18, version 4.3.1* Does not work at all. ### 1/5 — Does not work, don’t bother *2020-11-07, version 4.3.1* 11/2020, this app does not work at all. My calls can still go through. Which is what I paid to help me not do. But please don’t waste your money. Just do your best not to call. I was using this so I would contact my ex. It just makes the contact disappear, but if you know the number, you can still manually call. ### 1/5 — Don’t use it *2020-10-06, version 4.3.1* I got mad at my spouse and I kept calling being mad so I use this app so I wouldn’t keep calling and it scrambled all the information including all the additional information that I had and didn’t release it ### 2/5 — Not worth it *2020-07-18, version 4.3.1* If the person text you it will let you text back and it will send anything you may have text before that. ### 1/5 — Didn’t work full stop *2020-05-12, version 4.3.1* Allows texting on blocked numbers ...would like a refund as obviously doesn’t work ### 1/5 — Worthless *2020-04-10, version 4.3.1* Doesn't block texts and messages are typed in dark grey font on black backing. Also zero support. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Deletes professional contacts *2024-08-28, version 4.3.1* I thought this app sounded great, however, my business and professional reputation has been affected by the fact that it deletes professional contacts, so I can’t reach people I need to reach. It doesn’t just delete the contacts you tell it to, it deletes a lot of them. it basically blasts half of your contacts to hell. It has affected my income and my professional standing. Do not use this app. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2024-07-25, version 4.3.1* Only works if you don’t have the phone numbers memorized! To make this app great, you need to block the ability to use the keypad in the phone app so you can’t bypass “Drunk Dial No” and just dial the number manually ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2024-05-26, version 4.3.1* I was actually just able to call, the person I chose to block. Waste of money. ### 1/5 — Scam! *2024-04-27, version 4.3.1* Scam! ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2023-06-28* Only works if you don’t have the phone numbers memorized! To make this app great, you need to block the ability to use the keypad in the phone app so you can’t bypass “Drunk Dial No” and just dial the number manually ### 1/5 — Don’t waste your 1.99 *2022-11-18, version 4.3.1* This app will probably work if you are so drunk to the point you have alcohol poisoning. Otherwise, it’s a wasted of $$ and your personal data ### 1/5 — Doesn’t Do What it Claims *2021-06-23, version 4.3.1* All it does is erase the name of the person and replaces it with their phone number. You can still text them or call them if you know their phone number, and if any recent text messages have been sent they’re still visible. Would love my money back since it doesn’t do at all what it claims. ### 1/5 — No settings page *2021-06-06, version 4.3.1* I think I got suckered/trucked into paying twice. I cannot even find the “settings” button to change my setting. Time to cancel and dispute charges. ### 1/5 — How do I get a refund? *2021-05-07, version 4.3.1* This doesn’t work. Don’t waste your time. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2021-05-02, version 4.3.1* Don’t bother ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Love this app *2026-01-17, version 4.4.0* I love this app. Excellent for preventing you from reaching out to someone you shouldn’t for up to 48 hours - as long as you don’t have their phone number memorized. ### 5/5 — 15/5 stars!!!!!!!!!!!! *2025-02-23, version 4.4.0* Fix your 18 year-old rickety iCloud!! For months I’ve been trying to fix my iCloud that has been unable to have Siri be smart with AI intelligence and I have tried literally everything well yesterday I selected every contact in my phone. This can be done easily by taking two fingers and dragging down. I set it for 13 hours which was enough time for iCloud to fully sync all of what had happened… (I made sure both devices were done and connected)…. I then tried to limit interaction by logging out of iMessage (in settings on the phone not in iCloud. This is important) and turning off cellular on both iPad and iPhone. (I immediately turned off iPad and iPhone back up. In iCloud This is important.) but kept WiFi on! (Important) The next day, it’s like the wizard showed up, casted his spell, and now is hundreds of times smarter. My phone and iPad response maybe 3 to 5 times faster than it did. Everything is better now. ### 5/5 — Thank you!!!! *2021-11-22, version 4.3.1* You are a God sent. You are truly a Devine intervention ### 5/5 — A life saver *2015-08-30, version 4.1.0* Scrambles the requested numbers for the requested amount of time making calling, texting and even whatsapp impossible. Hooray! ### 5/5 — Helping me get over my ex. *2013-08-29, version 3.0.2* I have never written an app review before, but I figured I owed the makers of this app one since it is seriously rocking my world. After being dumped and having my heart utterly crushed, I was barely holding on to the self control preventing me from sending dozens of angry pathetic texts to my cheating ex. So I sought out an app that would prevent me from contacting him, and I found this. You have to reset it ever 2 days, which I've been doing for several weeks. My only suggestion is that I would love to see the amount of time you can block somebody bumped up. This has saved me from myself! Thanks for developing exactly what I needed. ### 5/5 — 必需品 *2013-08-19* 飲む前に必ず設定してます。ほんとに助かります！ ### 5/5 — 助かる…。 *2013-08-08* 酔うとついついメールしてしまいます。 しかも元彼、今彼、友達にかわまず。 素面の内に設定してから、ロックするととてめ助かります。 ### 5/5 — GET IT *2013-04-17, version 2.998* It's amazing! Such a good app, helps a lot. Get it!!!! ### 5/5 — Extra *2013-03-23* Marche impeccable ### 5/5 — Drunk dial no *2013-03-22, version 2.997* Fantastic --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
