Premium Issue

I have paid for the premium version to block more lines but it doesn’t allow me to and gives an error saying that I have to pay for it

Update:

I am proud of the support team for getting back to me quickly and fixing the issue still some glitches with certain patters but the paid feature has been fixed

Response from developer

Hi Guyl, thank you for reaching out. I found a bug where the app can lose track of your purchase under certain conditions. I'm very sorry about that. A fix is coming in the next update. In the meantime, if you open the upgrade screen, there's a "Restore Purchases" button at the bottom that should immediately re-activate your Pro unlock. If you have any trouble, please reach out via the in-app feedback button and I'll help directly. -Alex

Actually free!!

Developers are doing the lord’s work with this FREE app. It is the only phone number blocker I’ve found that ACTUALLY works. Looking forward to the new features!

This is a brilliant app I was constantly bombarded with scam calls from Zimbabwe and other African nations and also telemarketing calls too was so frustrating and annoying now I don’t get any more. It’s a fantastic app and it really works I highly recommend getting it...

Not sure

This app no longer does anything. If you enter just one number you get a message that says it is not able to block all the number pattern and you should try a smaller number but I have only entered one number! When it did “work” all it did was stop numbers from calling but they did still result in messages being left. Completely useless now.

Not for spoofed numbers

Tried for unwanted calls from overseas numbers. App was ineffective. Added numerous country wide blocks but numbers with those codes continue to ring. Can’t se any settings that I’ve missed. No use case that I can see.

Pretty much useless

I keep entering these numbers from scam messages I’m getting from all these bookies I’ve entered the same number multiple times still get messages from them I don’t think this thing works at all. Thank goodness I signed up for it during the free period because I paid absolutely nothing for it and it’s worth exactly that absolutely nothing. Don’t waste your money.

Response from developer

I'm sorry for the frustration, and I appreciate you taking the time to share this. It sounds like the issue was with text message spam rather than calls — SMS filtering on iOS works differently and requires the app to be enabled in Settings › Messages › Unknown & Spam › SMS Filtering for patterns to take effect. iOS also only filters messages from senders not in your contacts. This review is from 2021 and the app has improved significantly since then in both reliability and pattern handling. If you're open to trying again, I'd genuinely like to help get it working for you — please reach out via the Feedback form in the app or at apparentlogic.com/phonepatternblocker and I'll respond personally and quickly.

Excellent Blocker

I can block 213-xxx-xxxx and I won’t get any calls from that area code.

I’m not sure I see a difference since using this app. And can’t cut and paste numbers, have to enter them manually. Bum!!

Not a lot of good

I wanted something to block 0843. & 0845 numbers. This doesn’t do it. A complete waste of time, don’t bother with this cr^p!!

Wild card blocker

Liking this call blocker more and more over time. Robo callers are increasingly using random generated numbers from distinct area codes and prefixes. This tool seems to work effectively against those nuisances. Held back on stars because there is limitations on the number of wild card entries that can be included. User will need to delete old entries after awhile, to include the recent annoyances that need to be blocked.
