### 1/5 — It doesn’t work

*2025-12-05*

It doesn’t work. Waste of money.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. iOS 18 introduced an undocumented 
change that affected all call-blocking apps — we've now fixed 
this in our latest update. Please update to the newest version 
and re-enable the app in Settings → Phone → Call Blocking & 
Identification. If it still doesn't work, we'd love to help — 
reach us at el.kotb.app@gmail.com. We hope to earn back your trust.

### 1/5 — Screwed up my phone

*2023-12-01*

I purchased this app it was loaded with adds so I purchased for 1.99$ then it started freezing up my phone nothing at all on my phone was accessible the screen would totally freeze access to NOTHING screen would not respond I had to cold boot my iPhone 11 Pro Max to get out of it and it is now running sluggish I have no idea why, I have probably been hacked, please DO NOT INSTALL this app, APPLE please remove this till it is fixed! I try to block one person, then two and then all of a sudden it wanted to block all my contacts! Should not do that!

**Developer response:** We're sorry you had this experience — that sounds genuinely 
frustrating. However, call-blocking apps work through Apple's 
CallKit framework and have no access to your screen, system 
performance, or any data beyond what you explicitly share. 
They cannot cause freezing, sluggishness, or any security 
risk — Apple's sandboxing prevents this entirely.

The freeze you experienced was most likely a separate iOS 
issue unrelated to our app. The "block all" feature is a 
manual button in the group screen — it only activates when 
tapped directly.

We take every report seriously. If you'd like to revisit the 
app, we've made significant improvements since 2023. Reach 
us at el.kotb.app@gmail.com — we're happy to help personally.
