User reviews

Feature request

This is my favorite app of this category that I’ve found. I like how there are smart filters that can be used and the simplicity of it.

Would it be possible to add differentiating between where the match is contained within a message (i.e., the body or the sender), as well as including an option for regular expressions in the pattern?

Good smart filters

The smart filters work well at blocking spam sms. Would be good to have a whitelist option to allow safe content or senders through.
