I paid for lifetime protection and it’s not great at all. Sadly ### 4/5 — Robo Killer blocks all call not in my contacts that is what I don't want like about Robo Killer *2024-09-21, version 3.6.6* I ### 1/5 — Does not block anything, poor customer support. *2024-06-27, version 3.6.3* Make that Zero customer support. Have had this for 8 months and it has blocked ZERO calls. The standard setup in the iPhone IOS or you can forward unknown callers to your voicemail. This works much better in my opinion than this app. I've had this app for eight months now, I bought a subscription for $20 And I am letting it expire without renewal because there is no get your money back. I contacted them several times asking for help and I got nothing back. Nothing Very disappointed and I feel like I was ripped off. The only function I ever used was looking up the numbers that I blocked myself to see what they were, and even that functions very weak. FYI I am running an iPhone 12 mini, and I keep it updated to the very latest iOS from Apple. Currently as of June 2024, 17.5.1 I don't like leaving a negative feedback, but for $20 and no help and no refund path, I felt like I had to make and say something. I hope nobody else has lost $20. ### 1/5 — Don’t buy Rubbish waste of £20 *2024-06-05, version 3.6.3* Don’t bother the trial expired and I was charged £19.99 as auto subscription is on by default and this is rubbish as the app does not work on iPhone. I still get calls through showing just the number which never leave a message. When you Google search it comes up as spam using voip network such as Gammer networks. Total waste of money Apple blocking works better. Would have given no stars but you have to select one as minimum. Can’t even get a refund. This is the biggest scam of the lot. ### 1/5 — Service *2024-05-30, version 3.6.2* It is not stopping the spam calls all of a sudden . Before that it was very good!! ### 1/5 — Doesn’t Work! *2024-02-19, version 3.5.7* I have tried every setting and it still blocks every number but the spam and unwanted calls. I’ve allowed access to my contact list and call from my contacts go straight to voicemail. If this continues I will demand a refund from an app that doesn’t work. ### 1/5 — Spam *2024-02-14, version 3.5.7* Hasn’t been 10 minutes since the app was turned on and already getting spam calls that are not blocked ### 1/5 — Does Not Block much *2024-02-02, version 3.5.7* I kept track for a week, and it blocked 18% of the robo calls. That’s pretty poor. I followed the directions and uploaded the spam calls and neighborhood spoofing for a week. Try something else. ### 1/5 — Worthless *2023-12-07, version 3.5.5* After getting this app, I even had more spam calls then I had before. This is a complete joke. ### 1/5 — Blocked number from calling me *2023-11-13, version 3.5.5* I have two numbers that have been blocked from calling me. When these two people call my number they get another person. One of these people is my daughter and the other is my good friend. Can I get some help? ### 1/5 — Doesn’t do what it says *2023-11-08, version 3.5.5* Still receiving at least 20 spam calls a day!!! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — force you into a subscription *2026-06-12* the app even won’t allow to move forward until you purchase a subscription, then immediately force a pop into your face to review the app without even what the app is capable of. very disgusting and absolutely not the way to board people in! there you go now, i did what you asked for, to review your app! happy? ### 1/5 — Does not work *2026-05-09, version 3.8.3* I have to say that it did work for about a day and I was convinced that I would do the subscription, but I expected the very next day same people started again and now instead of just once a day now I have several calls so for me this is a not working I am going to change my number to try to move this call cancer. If you ever fix and it is a true robo killer let me know I will try again but for now I give only 1 star ### 1/5 — Still getting spam *2026-02-26, version 3.8.1* Still getting spam, very unhappy. I paid for lifetime protection and it’s not great at all. Sadly. Never pay for this. ### 1/5 — Worst Blocker App Ever *2025-07-23, version 3.7.6* I’ve had this on my iphone for several weeks now and it’s basically doing nothing. It is allowing tons of spammers to leave voicemails and texts no matter what I do with the settings. Truly wish I hadn’t purchased it. ### 1/5 — Absolute garbage *2025-05-12, version 3.7.4* Canceled my subscription within a month. This app blocked 0% of the 5-8 daily scam calls I get. Not one single call was blocked. Yes, everything was set up correctly, yes I reported the phone numbers every time, no nothing was blocked. The scammers just changed phone numbers and tried again. Completely useless app that doesn’t block anything. ### 1/5 — Does not work *2025-04-16, version 3.7.2* Says it's blocking calls but I'm still getting 15+ calls a day nothing has been blocked. I'm getting spam messages too still. Useless glad I didn't pay for a subscription. ### 1/5 — Payant *2025-03-07* Aucune option gratuite ### 1/5 — Not convinced it does anything *2025-02-07, version 3.6.8* I downloaded this app because I made the mistake of filling out an inquiry about a HELOC. I receive calls every 5-10 minutes. Sometimes more frequently. Hop full, I Followed instructions. The calls just kept coming in with no difference. I contacted support. I basically have to go in and manually spoof calls. This is useless because they will just call from another random number. This app is useless. Don’t download it. ### 1/5 — USELESS! *2024-11-27, version 3.6.6* This app is not even worth installing. Don’t waste your time—it’s USELESS. ### 1/5 — Asked for feedback the first second upon install *2024-11-21, version 3.6.6* If you want my feedback upon installing, and the first thing you do is annoy me with a pop up asking for my feedback…here you go. I’ll consider changing it if this is effective, but your not off to a great start. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Robokiller *2026-02-24, version 3.8.1* Robokwili200 ### 5/5 — Louis *2025-12-03, version 3.7.8* !!!Excellent gadget-keep it up!!! ### 5/5 — BLOCK CALLS *2025-08-23, version 3.7.6* I HOPE THIS WORKS! IAM SO TIRED OF ALL THESE BLOCK CALLS,AND UNLNOWN NUMBERS ON MY PHONE. I GET AT LEASE, 12, EVERY FAY , AND IAM VERY TIRED, ### 5/5 — This app saved my phone number from being replaced! *2025-05-07, version 3.7.4* Just wanted you to know that I am extremely happy with your app blocker. I previously receive 2-3 text messages from political organizations every 5 minutes. As soon as I purchased and set up your app, they were instantly gone. I was so relieved. I was ready to change my phone number when I came across your ad on YouTube. I'm so glad that I signed up. It would have been a nightmare to change phone number because of it being connected to everything else with my phone. At this time l'd like know if there is another way to retrieve the verification codes being sent to verify my device for identity validation. I know that when I go to the apps "Allow TXT messages" blank phrase luckily it shows there. Will this always work for text messaging on verification codes? And also what about when texts from my unlisted contact list. Can I able to retrieve or find those? Kindly advise and thank you very much again for this wonderful and saving app. Have a great day! ### 5/5 — Review *2025-04-16, version 3.7.2* No junk mail or text great! ### 5/5 — Robo Spam *2025-03-13, version 3.7.1* Thank you Robo Spam Text. I have already got a scam call stopped. Thank you so much. I don’t know why spammer attack old people. I am 80 years old and don’t know if it is safe to answer a phone call or a text message unless you know the phone number or the phone number. Thank you, Sandra ### 5/5 — Spam calls *2025-01-20, version 3.6.6* Best blocker ### 5/5 — Worth it *2024-12-18, version 3.6.6* I donated money during an election years ago. Since then I have been bombarded by political donation requests, 10-12 a day. I blocked and opted out and new ones would just show up! So this year I bit the bullet and subscribed to this robo spam text and call blocker. WORTH EVERY PENNY!!! Not one text gets through ### 5/5 — This is very good app *2024-05-02, version 3.6.1* Working very good ### 5/5 — Absolutely The Best!! *2023-08-08, version 3.5.3* Absolutely The best --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
