User reviews

Another Data Grab

Adding Ai only adds business to a data center. Does not stop scam and spam , but quite good at blocking urgently needed contacts. Setup is easy if nothing advertised accomplishes nothing advertised. Another data grab.

Response from developer

Thank you for the feedback. Gatekeeper filters messages on your device: your message text and your contacts are never uploaded. The AI filter is optional and can be switched off on the home screen. If a message you needed was filtered, please write to support@zadetech.com and tell us which sender it came from, so we can look into it.

Very good!

It blocks spam sms, and callers very well. I recommend it guys!

Response from developer

Thank you so much for the review! We're glad Gatekeeper is blocking spam texts and calls for you. Stay protected!
