They have reduced but not eradicated. ### 3/5 — Used to be better *2025-05-09, version 1.196* It used to alert for every number that called and now it’s not until I answer it gives me the heads up ### 1/5 — Rubbish *2024-09-03, version 1.196* Database doesn’t update on apple. Customer service non existent. Simply doesn’t work. ### 1/5 — Not working! *2024-08-24, version 1.196* I downloaded this app at the advice of my son. It has not stopped the spam calls at all and I am going to delete it! ### 2/5 — It does not tell me in real time if the caller is a scammer *2024-08-15, version 1.196* It does not tell me in real time if the caller is a scammer ### 1/5 — Not good *2024-08-07, version 1.196* Doesn’t block numbers not in my contacts like it did when I had an android phone ### 1/5 — Not for iOS *2024-06-29, version 1.196* It was a fair app on my android but my iPhone won’t activate it. I don’t know why but I don’t care either. If it takes too much effort to use then it’s counterproductive. ### 1/5 — Not helpful now *2024-06-21, version 1.196* When the app was free it worked, now that it’s subscription based it’s worse and broken. ### 1/5 — It’s not working! *2024-05-20, version 1.196* I understand that this would block any numbers that are not in my contacts. It doesn’t. I am still receiving spam calls! I’m not impressed. ### 1/5 — The number of Unwanted Calls has plummeted! *2024-04-15, version 1.196* Thank you ### 1/5 — No thanks *2024-03-27, version 1.196* I don’t think it’s done anything. I get just as many spam calls and random calls as I used to…. ### 2/5 — I am mad about this *2024-03-17, version 1.196* It did not work at all ### 3/5 — The *2024-03-12, version 1.196* I’m ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Not heat *2026-08-27, version 1.196* I started using it yesterday and blocked all numbers that are not supposed to call me. They still called me. It didn’t stop the calls at all. ### 1/5 — Just as bad as a scam *2025-12-04, version 1.196* It has you set it up and after it’s set up then asks for oayment for subscription. It should be the first thing it ask for. Waste of time. So not sure how well the app actually is. ### 1/5 — Lame *2025-07-31, version 1.196* Makes you pay for for the real features. ### 1/5 — Seems worthless on IOS *2025-06-30, version 1.196* I used this app for years on my Android phones and it was fantastic! However, now that I have an iPhone and have to pay, this app doesn’t appear to work at all. The app for Android was very user friendly. Why does the app work so differently on IOS? If you have an Android phone, get the app! Stay away if you have an Apple phone until they figure out how to make it work like it does on the Android system. ### 1/5 — NOT GOOD *2025-03-28, version 1.196* I get spam calls with this every day. This does not work. ### 1/5 — Worthless *2025-03-03, version 1.196* First spam call that came through was not picked up. Have to add white list manually, does not go off of contacts. No option to add area code for the spam callers that only change one or two digits. Canceled and uninstalled. Don't waste your money. ### 1/5 — How’s it work? *2025-02-20, version 1.196* I got 2 times the span calls in the next 2 days. Been 9 days now and same area only different numbers ### 1/5 — No good *2025-02-14, version 1.196* Didn't stop a single spam call from coming through. ### 1/5 — Non stop updating *2025-01-22, version 1.196* Has yet to block any calls. No real interface to setup call blocking . ### 1/5 — Does not work all the time *2024-09-18, version 1.196* I still get many calls, every day, from telemarketers etc. Seems to beg the question if I should bother paying for this subscription. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — ……….. .. .. ….. ….. … .. … *2026-03-01, version 1.196* . … .. … …. ……. .. . . .. . ### 5/5 — Good *2026-01-17, version 1.196* Does what it should ### 5/5 — Block *2025-09-17, version 1.196* Great job with App ### 5/5 — Carl W *2025-08-10, version 1.196* Nothing Beats ### 5/5 — Gy *2025-07-27, version 1.196* Gy ### 5/5 — Good App *2025-02-13, version 1.196* Works well ### 5/5 — Finally a Weather app that Works!!! *2024-07-09, version 1.196* Gotta get this weather app.! Seriously, I have gone through numerous weather apps. This one has been true and spot on in getting the weather correct than any other I have used. It really is worth giving this Weather app a view… you won’t be disappointed. ### 5/5 — ShouldIAnswer *2023-11-28, version 1.196* This app has blocked calls and is cheaper than previous apps used. ### 5/5 — Great app *2023-11-20, version 1.196* This is the greatest app for controlling unwanted calls. Since I have had it on my phone I very rarely get those annoying calls from people I never heard of. Thank you, “Should I Answer”! ### 5/5 — Yep it’s worth it and more *2023-09-21, version 1.196* Just read why I now have to pay for app. I was a betta tester for this app and you could have asked for more (glad you didn’t) cos this app is worth every penny. I just got the app on this phone thank god!!! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
