### 3/5 — Concerned Customer

*2026-08-14, version 2.1.1*

Great at blocking spam calls, but I don’t need anyone screening my personal contacts and voicemails .  If a name is listed on a phone number from my contacts, there is no need for screening !!

### 3/5 — Good but flawed

*2026-08-11, version 2.1.1*

Occasionally it now blocks a legitimate number, one that I already had called. This is a new issue and should be addressed.

### 4/5 — Good, but

*2026-08-10, version 2.1.1*

I like what it does but I still can’t figure out how to answer the phone.  I searched online for a tutorial but there is zero information on how to actually use this.  
About ready to let it go.

### 4/5 — Ludacris

*2026-07-21, version 2.1.0*

Good job

### 2/5 — My contact list

*2026-07-19, version 2.0.4*

I have loved this app for a long time. But recently, I added aloud numbers to my Robo allow list. All of a sudden, my iPhone contact list has changed. If I pull up a name and send a message as I have been doing for years, it shows me the last message I sent to a different person. At the top, the name of the person I’m texting is not there. It just says “allowed to” list. There is no reason why this app should be interfering with my iPhone contact list. Sometimes when you’re about to send a message and you want to make sure that you were sending it to the right person for privacy reasons, you need to look up and see who you are actually texting. Any person in my contact list that I have put on the Nomorobo “allowed” list, their name has disappeared, and I cannot see who I am texting. Will someone please contact me to explain this to correct it or I am going to get out of this app. The app should not be allowed to mess up my iPhone contact list.

### 2/5 — VM text impossible to read!

*2026-07-18, version 2.0.4*

Text is so tiny it is illegible, and copy or zoom in is not allowed.  This illustrates well the thoughtlessness of the design of this app: it is an insult!
Call blocking works quite well, and as the developers polish up some of the app quirks this could deserve more stars.

### 3/5 — Nomorobo Max Spam Call Blocker

*2026-07-11, version 2.0.4*

Nomorobo did an excellent job blocking telemarketing calls.  I highly recommend Nomorobo Max Spam Call Blocker for anyone who wants to block telemarketer phone calls.

### 4/5 — Blocks really good

*2026-07-10, version 2.0.4*

I like how it blocks suspected spam calls.

### 2/5 — Not catching AI calls

*2026-07-06, version 2.0.3*

Please stop AI solicitation calls that can change phone numbers and can generate the tone for “press 1” to get past the screening.

### 4/5 — Works well so far.

*2026-06-25, version 2.0.3*

EDIT: Would be very helpful to have an audible alert when call is being screened.

Thanks for adding the paste ability!

************************
I like it so far, but it lacks one very needed convenience ... The ability to copy and paste a phone number in the Look Up feature.  I do hope that will be added soon.

### 2/5 — I still get harassing robo calls

*2026-06-25, version 2.0.3*

Don’t waste your money

### 1/5 — Has blocked important calls

*2026-06-18, version 2.0.3*

Am cancelling subscription. I will not tolerate blocking of physician calls

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2026-06-17, version 2.0.3*

I had 5 spamming calls each day since I tried this app. Does not work.

### 1/5 — Works in reverse

*2026-06-11, version 2.0.3*

This app is good for looking up unknown numbers - period. The call filtering is inconsistent and regularly incorrect. Spam calls & texts still come through regularly - offers for loans, spam UPS/Fed Ex/USPS, etc. Meanwhile people on my allowed list - my daughters, my mother, my doctors - on & on - go straight to voicemail. Not even my regular voicemail, but a separate voicemail list inside the app. Evidence of these calls and their corresponding messages are only found by checking inside the app. For $80 a year, I should get ALL the notifications and execution should be flawless. Instead of providing protection, this app IS the scam.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — More trouble than it’s worth

*2026-08-21, version 2.1.2*

Terrible app. Constantly prevents calls from coming through that are in my contacts.  Essentially it eliminates junk calls by eliminating almost all calls. Why bother having a phone? Periodically eliminates calls from my wife and family.

### 1/5 — Greeting

*2026-08-17, version 2.1.1*

Is there a way to avoid the Nomorobo reference in the greeting? It treats all callers as a stranger and could be viewed as an endorsement by the law firm of your services.

### 1/5 — Desperate & needy

*2026-08-12, version 2.1.1*

They are so desperate for a good review. Every time that I open the app, they’re wanting a rating, so here it is.

### 1/5 — Cancel Subscription

*2026-08-03, version 2.1.0*

I cancelled my subscription 30 seconds after my free trial and am being charged for an entire year with an expiration date of Aug 2027.
That's not right!
I'm not happy...

### 1/5 — Doesn’t Work Anymore

*2026-07-29, version 2.1.0*

This service used to work great and block 100% of spam calls with no issues for several years. Starting this year, in the last 6 months, it no longer blocks all spam calls. I still get a couple per day.

Before support responds saying “I don’t have it set up correctly,” I assure you I do have it set up correctly.

This service is no longer enough to block spam, and no, I’m not upgrading to the “max” plan for 3 times as much per year as a solution.

Either Nomorobo’s database is no longer sufficient or spam calls have gotten a lot more sophisticated with evading blockers,

I will update this review if this changes in the next year before my subscription expires.

### 1/5 — Spam or scam calls have not let up at all. This sight is expensive and it has not stopped 1 robo cal

*2026-07-16, version 2.0.4*

Hate this app. And I can’t believe you are taking money out of my account every month. If anything calls have increased!!!!

### 1/5 — Stops working after buying

*2026-07-16, version 2.0.4*

*DON’T BUY THIS! At first this works really well at stoping and blocking robocalls but after I signed up for the yearly subscription it stopped screening calls. I contacted support who gave me generic advice about making sure the correct settings were on, which they were and I had not changed anything. I suspect the point is to hook you in then stop the main purpose of the service which is very dishonest and fraudulent. When I started to delete the app all of a sudden they offered to restore the main service which brought me to write a review warning potential customers.

### 1/5 — Blocking before I decide

*2026-07-04, version 2.0.3*

You blocked a call that was very important to me before I even had a chance to decide weather to accept or block it.  I’m very disappointed. It blocks all unknowns not just the spam.  I seriously considering removing this app. .😡

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2026-06-30, version 2.0.3*

Doesn’t always allow me to answer calls that I need to. The “answer” button just calls nomorobo support and my calls go to voicemail. I have to turn the app off when I expect calls that aren’t in my phone book just so I can answer them. I got this a few years ago when I was getting a bunch of election calls, and it worked pretty well back then. Now, at election time, I get texts, which all get through. Uninstalling it.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2026-06-20, version 2.0.3*

I tried the app and even purchased the subscription. However, I ended up canceling before the free trial was over because the app simply does not work. I continued to get spam calls and text nonstop on a new phone with a new phone number.. For the premium price that they charge I don’t expect to continue to see spam.

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Needs variable string blocking.

*2026-08-19, version 2.1.1*

I like most features but I want to be able to block all non-US numbers, certain area codes, and any number based upon first portion. It should handle wildcards like +1 (480) 908-6??? OR +1 (480) 908-* for blocking purposes.

### 5/5 — Excellent Defense

*2026-08-12, version 2.1.1*

I was constantly receiving text messages from unknown persons who where acting like they knew me.  I never responded to these of course, but the constant intrusion was maddening.  Thanks to Nomorobo, no more scammers acting like they know me.

### 5/5 — Best call blocker

*2026-08-02, version 2.1.0*

Excellent service

### 5/5 — Love this app

*2026-07-10, version 2.0.4*

Honestly this is better than the original app because it actually blocks all the spam callers from getting through 100% recommend.

### 5/5 — Kevin Kling

*2026-06-25, version 2.0.3*

This app is amazing and works extremely well. And I love the ability to go back and see what the call was about and you can respond if needed. LOVE IT!!

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2026-06-21, version 2.0.3*

Excellent

### 5/5 — Very useful

*2026-06-04, version 2.0.2*

It has been a game changer for me screening unwanted calls

### 5/5 — Excellent support

*2026-05-05, version 1.7.1*

I got a new phone and when I reinstalled the app it kept saying I didn’t have an account. Contacted support sent a couple of screenshots and found I downloaded the basic version instead of max. Simple fix. Support was fast to respond.

### 5/5 — Scammers away

*2026-03-25, version 1.7.1*

Hi this will be my 3rd year I love the app I don’t get any scammers any more my phone it’s not ringing every 5 minutes any more your app answer am keep the spam away my phone ring only when people saying the specific magic words

### 5/5 — Really cuts down on the spam!!

*2026-03-23, version 1.7.0*

I’ve used NomoRobo for a number of years and it just keeps getting better. Easy to set up and it really keeps the annoying calls and texts away while all my important calls get through. If I’m expecting an important call and I want to be doublely sure that I don’t miss it then I can just switch NomoRobo off until after the call comes through to be sure I get it. Makes me feel a lot freer from all the junk calls and texts that used to waste my time.
