It does not work with my iPhone, as there is no “JUNK” folder in my text messages , like the directions on app set up says. ### 1/5 — Won’t even let me sign up! *2024-10-15* I keep entering my phone number and get an error message. Guess it won’t work for me! Says to go to messages then go to Junk. There is no junk option. Not sure what kind of phone this is supposed to work with but doesn’t work on an iphone! ### 1/5 — Poor Privacy *2024-09-12* Keyword filtering apps are a dime a dozen. I test this one, and it appears to work as well as others, but the privacy policy is quite concerning. Keyword matching is something that certainly can and should happen on device. Their privacy policy leave it vague as to when they collect messages. It also fails to mention any form of anonymization or data retention/use. ### 3/5 — Cost !! *2025-03-15* I cannot find how much it costs to use this app , anyone know ? ### 3/5 — Added keywords not working *2024-12-02* Fantastic filtering of spam texts during election but now I add keywords (USPS, postal, delivery) and still getting the same spam message 3 - 5 times a day about my shipping address needs updated. Adding my own keywords does not work in this app. ### 3/5 — Stopped working *2024-09-16* It was working quite well and now it’s not working at all. It’s like something removed all the filtering keywords. ### 5/5 — SpamStrike is amazing *2025-06-15* SpamStrike is amazing in it’s ability to filter out political text messages. I haven’t found another service that’s even close. ## Most praised reviews (6 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — IT WORKS IT WORKS IT WORKS *2024-11-01* Oh my gosh. I got this today and already caught 14 spam political texts, tossed right into my junk texts. THANK YOU. ### 5/5 — A sweet relief *2024-10-30* I’ve had it for two days and it has only missed 2 out of 50 political texts. Fantastic. ### 5/5 — Works like a dream *2024-10-21* In a twist of cruel fate, or a terrible prank gone wrong, I’ve been suffering under the weight of 1000s of spam messages from conservatives a week. I’m a solidly blue voter, so this is not only annoying, but infuriating. They all call me “Fred” too (not my name). I’ve been missing important things and totally overwhelmed for years. In the first hour of use, this blocked all 5 messages already. Give it a try. It may save your mental health and your relationships, too! ### 5/5 — Great Product!! *2024-10-17* I was getting 6 to 10 political texts a day. After 2 days of using I have not received 1 political text!!! ### 5/5 — Game Changer *2024-09-22* As a recovering Republican my text inbox has been hammered by Trump, Trump Jr, Vance, and all the other deplorables. No amount of “stop” or reporting spam had any effect. This app was like a light switch - spam over. ### 5/5 — Easy set up- no more election spam! *2024-09-16* What a lifesaver, I was getting 5 or more of this incredibly frustrating donation spam text every day. Enough is enough. I saw this app in Reddit somewhere and it’s been such a game changer. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
