Life changer!!

I had been inundated with spam calls from marketers, phishing attempts, real estate agents. A friend recommended this app and it dramatically reduced spam calls from maybe 5 a day to 1 a month. I also get to search for unknown numbers and add new spam caller numbers to a global database, which gets updated by all users. Very nifty app, highly recommended and worth the subscription fee.

Still get calls

Not as good as it should be.

Isn’t blocking the numbers

The app isn’t blocking the numbers i downloaded it for

Robot central

I asked multiple times to speak to a human, tried multiple ways to submit a report, every avenue goes to the same stupid AI chat bot which sends you in circles.

There is no way to block ai callers even when the app correctly IDs them as ai voices. There are no custom parameters or keywords you can put in to help with a specific issue you have. I’m going to be requesting a refund from Apple for my subscription cost because the customer service workflow for this app is the worst I’ve ever seen, no prompt can get you to a human or even an option to leave an email for a human. Only a vague note that a human MIGHT reply to a concern at a later date.

Do not waste your money on this app.

Worth it

Excellent app. Highly recommend.

Why are the spoof calls even getting through?

Why aren’t the spoof calls simply deleted from phone?

Call app

I love it bc it keeps my phone safe n it’s free

Hiya: spam blocker

I have been using this app for years and I love it.

Blocks my husband’s calls!

Even after rebooting the app and rechecking allowed phone numbers, this app continues to block my husband’s calls. It is not as if this is a new phone number that used to belong to a telemarketer either. He’s had this number for 20yrs and it is only one digit off of my own!

Doesn’t work

This literally did nothing to help lol. Still getting non-stop spoofed caller id calls from scammers. Multiple times per hour.

Ok, but not great.

Not user friendly. Very slow. Makes the connections slow and awkward.

Junk

Does not help, adds wasted time and energy

Still getting spammers bypassing hiya

I’m more getting spammers from my area code getting through that hiya is categorizing as spam. Area code 831

Not working

the app doesn’t block any spam calls .

Doesn’t block AI deep-fake calls

Hiya will identify a call as an AI deep-fake voice but does nothing to actually block them.

Not as good as I thought

I expected this app to at least let me know the numbers that are spam or marketing. But it seems miss almost half of them.

Useless

This hasn’t stopped a single unknown caller, robodial or other type call. Calls come through with no caller Identification. Set up as per instructions.

Blow Smoke

It’s ok but not worth paying for

Just ok

I still get lots of spam calls

Garbage

Doesn’t work, ai replies only. No help
