Is this even an app? 0 stars

This app blocks any number that I don’t have saved in my phone, fine. There is no easy way to toggle this on or off which I need to do occasionally when waiting for calls from new numbers. There are no features, every time I open the app it tells me that’s it’s “having trouble connecting to its server” and that I should relaunch the app but not reinstall. Calls are being blocked, but the app doesn’t really function otherwise and I have almost no control over which calls are getting through. Two of the 4 sections of the app (block and search) I can’t even access.

Works at times but frustrating to use and can’t disable

This app screens scam calls appropriately but also constantly screens legitimate calls and there is no way to pick up when you see a call is being screened. Additionally, every time I have tried to disable the screener it give me an error message and that I should try in 15 minutes. It will not let me disable the screening, and there is no support to reach out to. Extremely frustrating.

Very good App

This App worked well for me and very simple to use even though I had to put each phone number in that I wanted Blocked. Now I have TMobile Scam Blocker I can’t single out numbers I want to block anymore which makes the App useless.

No

Undecided. I am overwhelmed with the inundated spam calls all day long. There are some cases where I answer because I don’t know if it’s an important call from like my doctors office, my car dealership, or professional service like a bank or a company I’m waiting for to call me back. If and when I do answer the call it’s spam/Robo/fraud and these phone numbers are changing so fast and these tools they used to call me they use local numbers to trick me and make me think it’s an important local call as if we are dumb like we don’t know but at the end of the day it’s too much and it’s extremely overwhelming. I don’t see the point on answer my phone anymore and I do not know if this app actually works. The calls are truly overwhelming.

Sprint & T-Mobile MERGE?

This was a really great app. I still have it on my phone. I also now have the T-Mobile Scam at p. But I would really like to know… what will become of this app? Will it too be brought forward into the merge?
