Written in 3x for help. No response. 🤷‍♀️ ### 2/5 — No customer support *2026-07-13, version 2.0.11* Daily texts are getting throgh with no way to speak with customer support. Getting ready to cancel subscription. ### 2/5 — Spam texts show on my Apple Watch but not on phone *2026-05-12, version 2.0.11* I can see spam texts on my watch but can’t find them in any of the filters in messages. Today I got an obvious scam text, yet I can’t find it on my phone so I can’t report it. ### 2/5 — No success *2026-05-04, version 2.0.11* I’ve been paying for subscription for a few months and suddenly the app cannot verify my subscription. I’m done with this. Good bye! ### 3/5 — Sometimes *2026-04-20, version 2.0.11* Is it me or is it you guys? Sometimes I wonder what happened to my message?! Have the settings changed when an update occurs? Sometimes I wish I knew ### 1/5 — This is scammer central *2026-02-19, version 2.0.11* As soon as I signed up for this I started receding tons of scams. ### 1/5 — Horrible *2026-02-13, version 2.0.11* Useless app that you cannot even receive the code to your phone to setup the account, and won’t even verify your account if you can get to that point. Doesn’t work ### 2/5 — Free version doesn’t really work anymore *2026-02-12, version 2.0.11* The free Fusion used to work at least a little bit, now it doesn’t really work at all anymore in iOS 18.6. The “report junk and delete” button briefly appears when you open a spam message, but it quickly disappears. I haven’t seen anything show up in the junk folder in the iOS messages app for several weeks. Not sure what the difference between this app and Robokiller I can’t get past phone number verification in Robokiller at all. ### 4/5 — Game changer *2026-02-11, version 2.0.11* Loved every minute of it ### 1/5 — Stops working *2026-01-10, version 2.0.11* Went thru all the learning messages don’t would block bad texts. Worked for awhile then suddenly I get blitzed with bad spam texts. No solution to stop. App asks if I have Textkiller on for unknown/blocked spam texts … I checked and still do. App really needs a lot of work. Also can’t add keywords for spam or numbers. App just won’t accept them where it asks for them. Seems I got ripped off. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t take the secure code it sent me *2025-12-31, version 2.0.11* Tried to open app with security code sent to phone number but three tries to put in three separate codes app won’t verify. Can’t open the app this way. I am throwing it away before I can even open it! ### 1/5 — Not working like it used to *2025-12-26, version 2.0.11* No longer lets me block numbers or forward/copy spam messages to my carriers. Getting spam and not being able to tap the number to block it is stupid. Not being able to forward to T Mobile SPAM reporting is ignorant. Fix it please. ### 1/5 — Can’t even get verified *2025-12-18, version 2.0.11* Sent me 2 different verification codes and neither code worked. ### 1/5 — Not working *2025-12-17, version 2.0.11* It asks for a code then when I put it in, it says it’s the wrong code! Ugh! Tried another way and it just says “oops, there’s a problem so try again later “ ### 1/5 — Delete your app !!! *2025-12-14, version 2.0.11* Please remove app from my phone ! Going to report to my phone carrier ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Marginally effective *2026-08-17, version 2.0.11* I have extreme blocking switched on which is supposed to block all messages from all others but my contacts, yet I still get spam messages from many others that are not in my contacts ### 1/5 — Does not work! *2026-07-25, version 2.0.11* Not working! Getting spam texts all day long! ### 1/5 — Spam getting through *2026-07-01, version 2.0.11* Not working for me ### 1/5 — Not free *2026-06-28, version 2.0.11* I really wish they would tell you up front when an app isn’t free, so I wouldn’t have to waste my time setting it up. This the one star ### 1/5 — I t’s not working at all after the first few months. *2026-06-17, version 2.0.11* The first 6 months I had i, the system worked perfectly. Now, it’s as though it was never Eve installed and I still have 6 months of service left. ### 1/5 — The App that never was *2026-06-07, version 2.0.11* 9/15/25 downloaded it for a 7-day trial; here 5/6/26 and it still tech supportdoesn’t work even after a1-2/2 hrs with ### 1/5 — I t’s not working at all! *2026-06-01, version 2.0.11* The first 6 months I had i, the system worked perfectly. Now, it’s as though it was never Eve installed and I still have 6 months of service left. ### 1/5 — Abandoned? *2026-04-18, version 2.0.11* A year of no updates and it no longer loads for me and is blocking all texts… ### 1/5 — Trial not working-no spam text blocked! *2026-04-09, version 2.0.11* I subscribed to Textkiller because it is associated with Robocall, and I am very happy with my call blocker. However, followed instructions to the letter and it hasn’t blocked one spam text. Deleted it. ### 1/5 — Not on Mac *2026-03-28, version 2.0.11* Great on iPhone, but it doesn’t work on Mac. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Saved my sanity *2026-07-01, version 2.0.11* I used to get at least ten Republican spam texts a day. This is the only thing that has stopped them. I wasn’t even mad when I forgot to stop the free trial. ### 5/5 — My spam texts stopped instantly!!! *2026-06-29, version 2.0.11* I use to get 10-20 spam texts a day. Not after I installed this app! Thank you ### 5/5 — Love this app *2026-04-23, version 2.0.11* AWESOME! ### 5/5 — 😍 *2026-02-24, version 2.0.11* I don’t write reviews or personally recommend.. I have done both with this app! ### 5/5 — Kill dah Texts *2025-12-25, version 2.0.11* Great app! No more nasty political rhetoric on my phone! Love this app! ### 5/5 — Blocking all the the unknown texts 10/10 *2025-12-10, version 2.0.11* I started getting a bunch of random text and didn’t realize they were spamming so I was looking around for blocking unknown numbers apps and saw this 10/10 works. I wasn’t expecting it to like how other apps say but this thing is a 10/10 ### 5/5 — Finally! An App That Gets Rid of Political Donation Requests Costing Thousands in Messaging Fees!!! *2025-12-04, version 2.0.11* My phone was receiving hundreds of text messages requesting donations but the texting fees charged by the cellular service provider was becoming high too! Also, when I paid a bill using the 2-Step Authentication process texts for donations and product sales notices would be received seconds later. This was too much and it took time out of my day to block numbers and delete the texts. It was worth the expense to purchase the Text Killer saving me a lot of my personal money and time! 👍🏻 ### 5/5 — Dean *2025-10-28, version 2.0.11* This app is the only one out off 8 apps that I have tried that killed every text! It is absolutely worth it! 60 spam texts a day to ZERO!! ### 5/5 — It works! *2025-10-25, version 2.0.11* This app actually works and doesn’t cost $100+ per year. I’ve tried tons of apps including the main security apps and nothing is as reliable so far. ### 5/5 — The Best! *2025-10-11, version 2.0.11* Best App I’ve ever used. I went from getting several hundred political and spam texts per week to virtually none. Did not have to use word triggers either! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
