Not worth it

I had hoped that paying for an sms spam stopper would get me a good product. I’ve been using it for a couple of months. Half of the messages in the filtered folder are not spam, and tons of spam does not get filtered.

Flawless

I get all texts I need, whatever the last reviewer did is user error, must have added words to the block area without realizing.

It blocks almost everything (for better or worse)

The heuristic detection is a marketing gimmick. It uses a simple word list. As a result, it blocks loads of texts—including most of the texts from restaurants, dentists, banks, etc) that I’d like to get.

Ripoff

This app is labeled as working on my iPad in the App Store; however, there is no way to enable this app in the Messages settings of a 2018 iPad Pro. I reached out to the developer for assistance. They responded with copy-pasted instructions on how to get a refund which do not work. Now I’m out the cost of the app. Buyer beware.

Love this app!

I’ve been using this app for years and I love it. It works!!! You can tell it what words to filter into a spam text folder and it’s easy to delete the trash and not have to be constantly interrupted with dumb phishing attempts, political begging and scammers. Five stars all the way, and worth every penny. I appreciate that the developer isn’t in it to siphon off my data, too. Thanks SMS Spam Stopper!
