Overall good but be wary

This app does a pretty good job of filtering out messages. Was very helpful during the election season with all the spam texts. However, this will put all random texts in spam unless whitelisted by contact number. This can be inconvenient in situations like someone from an unknown number texting you or you getting a text notification that your order is ready at a restaurant etc. If instead of only being able whitelist by number and message content, we were able to allow messages by keywords, I could’ve made it work.

Hey, thanks so much for the thoughtful review and for sharing this awesome suggestion! I’m excited to let you know that the feature you requested—allowing messages by keywords—has just been added in version 2.6. It should make handling those unknown but important messages (like order notifications) much easier. I really appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback—it helps me make the app better for everyone. Let me know how the new feature works for you! Thanks again for your support! ~ Alex

False positive rate was way too high

This app blocked 10 out of 20 of my incoming text messages. Only 2 of them were spam. I also had many one time passcodes blocked even though I turned on the setting to “allow one time passcodes”

Hey, thanks for the feedback! It sounds like there might have been a misunderstanding about the app’s purpose. SpamOff is designed to allow messages only from senders you know or those you’ve explicitly added to the whitelist. It’s not a traditional spam blocker; it focuses on letting through texts from trusted sources. Regarding the OTP issue, I’d love to improve the detection accuracy. If you could share examples of the blocked messages, that would be super helpful! Feel free to email me at spamoffapp@gmail.com. Thanks again for your input! ~ Alex
