### 1/5 — bad app

*2020-06-28, version 1.3*

This app kind of a spam download is free ,, but can't work without pay 2.99 $

### 5/5 — The best

*2020-05-03, version 1.3*

After spending a lot time finding the right app.
This app does filter nicely spam sms, I like the filtering rules setup feature. 
I love the simplicity

### 1/5 — App isn’t working and misspellings of buttons

*2019-09-11, version 1.3*

The app wont open on my phone. Lack of instructions on how to use the app. (If it’s inside the app I wouldn’t know it won’t open) I open it and it just has a black screen. Have no idea how to get to the white list because there the app won’t open and there is no where else to find out. Plus (terms)of use is spelled wrong they spell it teams of use.... and plan when I had gone to the app, is spelled paln. Once I pass the purchase paln button it turns black. I tried turning my phone on and off. I just don’t know what to do.

### 5/5 — It works!

*2019-08-23, version 1.3*

Every dopy spam text that’s has a consistent keyword is sent to junk without a notification.  Just peace and quiet !

Was getting 4-5 a day nothing now.

### 1/5 — Stopped working and now crashes.

*2019-08-12, version 1.2*

It blocked texts for a couple days but after last year update, the same texts with same keyword “cash” is now getting through. Also, clicking on whitelist button causes the app to crash.

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2019-06-01, version 1.1*

Does not filter SMS messages with the exact phrases in my blocked content filters. Thank you for putting this out there, and I hope to see it patched up soon. I am willing to pay a one-time fee of a few dollars for something like this after a free trial in which I find out that it works.

### 1/5 — Support NOT available

*2019-05-10, version 1.1*

Click on Feedback and Support, and your app quits. Every time.

### 5/5 — Very useful App

*2019-04-25, version 1.1*

Nice app to block unwanted SMS with just providing keywords.

### 1/5 — Useless app

*2019-04-12, version 1.1*

Cant add more than 10 keywords. Asks to purchase but there is no link to purchase.

### 1/5 — Ads

*2018-08-24, version 1.1*

Says no ads then wants payment for no ads
