But in over 8 months it has yet to identify a single spam number in Australia. ### 3/5 — Not User Friendly *2025-02-15, version 1.52* This is difficult to understand if its working. Not sure what it does. Maybe I should say, it appears to be dormant with no feed back in a month of installing. Trust me I’ve had many spam calls and no reaction from this app. ### 1/5 — Does it help? *2024-10-05, version 1.48* Not much ### 2/5 — in-app-purchases not there *2024-09-27, version 1.48* I can’t find from where to get the premium subscription. ### 2/5 — Needs further work *2024-09-21, version 1.48* On a typical day I will receive up to 25 or so calls on my iPhone labeled as potential spam. 90% are spam! I wish I didn’t have to enter every number that I received into the blocked call section. It would be wonderful if every time I blocked a number your app would pick up on it so I didn’t have to enter each number separately. Help! ### 1/5 — Does this App work at all? *2024-09-09* I installed this app since sometime now. I don’t think it has blocked or identified even one called till date. I’m not sure whether this app at all works in India. Can the developer please throw some light? **Developer response:** Hello! We are sorry about the inconvenience. We confirm that the Spam Blocker's database also includes Indinan spam phone numbers. Make sure you always use the app in the Block mode so the app automatically blocks incoming spam numbers that have been recognized. Unfortunately, no database is bulletproof because thousands of new spam phone numbers appear daily. We try our hardest to keep the database always up to date. We hope you will become more satisfied over time while using Spam Blocker! ### 1/5 — Block all scam likely calls *2024-08-30, version 1.47* How do I set it up where all scam Likely calls will be blocked I receive 200 or more calls a week ### 1/5 — Scam app tries to do something worst *2024-08-28, version 1.47* The owner is too miserable, they offered for free then they public informations, i got a ton of spam calls everydays. Be aware!!! ### 1/5 — Updates review. App doesn’t work. *2024-08-27, version 1.47* Received an obvious scam call but this app didn’t block it nor notify it was a suspect call. Useless. ### 3/5 — Review 3 *2024-08-21, version 1.47* It does not come up on my phone so I can block number. When I look up number it doesn’t say scam, you just get a list to choose from. I need to hand put in number I want to block. ### 1/5 — Slow, sluggish, and unreliable *2024-08-14, version 1.46* I've the dead move quicker than this app! Also they released this and gone free and then the app froze and wouldn't work at all. Pile of crap that I won't be downloading again. Avoid!!!! They also say that they will think about stuff that people suggested them but they never do anything about it. Honestly you'll be better off throwing your phone in the bin than relying on this app to do anything for you! 💩 ### 1/5 — Scam *2024-08-14, version 1.46* I bought the lifetime version. When I reinstalled the app, I lost the lifetime license ### 1/5 — Lừa đảo *2024-08-14, version 1.46* Mua lifetime xong không restore được, mất lifetime ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Not working *2025-12-05, version 1.57* It has been two days, never blocked any spam calls. I give a zero ### 1/5 — Very poor *2025-11-04, version 1.56* Not working ### 1/5 — Tiger *2025-04-07, version 1.54* This app is useless never stop or block the scammer call ### 1/5 — Blocker stop , After that spam call incoming uselessly fraudulent app *2025-01-17* Finally fraud app **Developer response:** Hi! We are sorry that you aren't satisfied with the Spam Blocker app. It's possible you were using the app in the Identify mode, which resulted in receiving spam calls but being notified. We recommend using the app in the Block mode instead. If you need help with the in-app navigation, please feel free to contact our customer support directly from the app for further help! ### 1/5 — Does absolutely NOTHING *2025-01-03, version 1.51* This app is worthless from what I can tell for what it claims it’ll do. I have it set to block calls yet it allows each and every call to come through! There are SOME that say “potential spam” and yet my phone is still ringing… WHY?! I use to get about 7-10 spam calls a day. Since installing and using this app I get close to 30!! Yes, 30!! And this app allows all of them to come through no matter how many times I update the database. I’m sorry, I know a lot of work has gone into developing this app but this just isn’t worth it!!! Response to Developer’s response… the app is 100% DEFINITELY in the “Block” mode and NOT Identify. It’s been updated multiple times and it doesn’t work, it absolutely does not work!! Thanks for responding with a possible solution though, that’s super amazing of you to do that! ### 1/5 — Does absolutely NOTHING *2024-12-19* This app is worthless from what I can tell for what it claims it’ll do. I have it set to block calls yet it allows each and every call to come through! There are SOME that say “potential spam” and yet my phone is still ringing… WHY?! I use to get about 7-10 spam calls a day. Since installing and using this app I get close to 30!! Yes, 30!! And this app allows all of them to come through no matter how many times I update the database. I’m sorry, I know a lot of work has gone into developing this app but this just isn’t worth it!!! **Developer response:** Hello there! Please accept our apology for the inconvenience caused. Based on your description, it looks like you are using the app in the Identify mode. It works well because the Identify mode means that the app is meant to notify you when a dangerous number calls you. Please switch to a Block mode in the Protect tab instead if you wish to stop receiving spam calls. The correct use of the app is necessary for its best functionality. We hope your experience will improve! Thank you for your co-operation. ### 1/5 — Bad app *2024-11-22, version 1.49* Dose not work at all ### 1/5 — It only blocked one phone call out of 20 the first week and not do anything after that *2024-11-13, version 1.49* Useless ### 1/5 — Garbage *2024-10-14, version 1.48* App is trash ### 1/5 — It does none *2024-10-11* No functionality even after allowed in phone app, when I click updates it performs updates for a long time, I left the phone without locking screen more than 20 mins, it never Complete. Whatever the number you search, it shows all safe even though it is a spam identified number. What's your thought of brought this app with IAP? **Developer response:** Hello! We are sorry that Spam Blocker doesn't meet your needs. In case the database is updating for too long, close the app and re-open it again. It normally takes only a maximum of a couple of minutes. Unfortunately, no spam database is bulletproof, as thousands of new numbers appear daily. We try our best to keep the database up to date for maximum protection for our users. We hope you will give Spam Blocker another chance. Thank you! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — David Angust *2025-12-14, version 1.57* David Angust ### 5/5 — Actually works great *2025-03-27, version 1.54* I believe I was a target of an identity leak, as I was receiving an excessive number of calls, approximately 20 per day, for several months. However, after using this app, the situation returned to normal. Great app! ### 5/5 — Somehow it works *2024-12-07, version 1.50* I didn’t use to receive many spam calls, but they were quite annoying, after installing the app… zero, and I mean zero calls ### 5/5 — Finally Free from annoying calls *2024-10-13, version 1.48* I have been plagued by an annoying 508 fax number that has over 30 numbers that call six times each and leave the fax tone messages. I don’t know how to stop them until Spam Blocker. I just add each number that calls-now up to 35 different numbers from this same area code, but once added, I’m no longer getting them from the previous numbers. I wish there was a way to stop these calls, but since I don’t know, Spam Blocker is a great alternative! Well worth it!!!! ### 5/5 — Does a good job *2024-10-02, version 1.48* This app has reduced the spam calls on my iPhone by 90%- a few get thru but before this app I was inundated with them - you have to manually update the database but only takes 30 seconds - it works ! ### 5/5 — Buggy but working now *2024-08-15, version 1.47* The app failed to launch on iPhone 12Pro but it’s now working. ### 5/5 — Shield of defense *2024-08-15, version 1.47* So far I did not emcouner any spam call since i install this app ### 5/5 — Ok *2024-08-08, version 1.46* Ok ### 5/5 — Failed Update *2023-06-27, version 1.31* The recent update causes my phone to freeze and lock up to the point that I have to shutdown my phone and restart to regain functionality. This occurs when I try to add a comment for the blocked number I added. It will accept 2 characters then freeze. ### 5/5 — The best blocker on the App Store - don't look further *2023-03-24, version 1.27* Thanks so much for developing this app! I haven't felt more secure in a long time. It looks like my cell phone number somehow got on the list of spammers, which persistently kept bothering me. Although it's hard to get rid of them, this spam blocker has performed amazingly so far. I hope it will not let me down! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
