Every time I get a scam call it just says “likely from a business” only to pick up and see that it’s a scam call. It looks like that it doesn’t really do a good job at detecting spoofed numbers and only works with some known numbers and only some at that. No matter how many times I report a number as spam it just keeps coming even on the max blocking setting. And the even bigger cherry on top is that there is no more free plan which was occasionally useful to lookup unknown numbers but since that’s been gutted I really can’t recommend this app. ### 3/5 — Great *2026-08-13, version 26.30* They find out details so fast ### 3/5 — Faultu Mia *2026-08-11, version 26.30* SCAM! ### 2/5 — Still get unknown content *2026-08-10, version 26.29* I pay premium Truecaller and when I get calls , they not identify who’s called me ### 2/5 — Truecaller Fake Spam Blocker *2026-08-07, version 26.29* While blocking phone numbers Truecaller does not stop voice mail dumps. pathetic. Truecaller only allows 5 spoofing 800 numbers, waste of $. ### 1/5 — Asks for money after u share ur phone number *2026-08-06, version 26.30* After you finish setup give ur info than it says you have to pay to make it work… No free with ads version… They first get ur number name and email + access to app tracking and than say u need to subscribe to make the app work, that is an horrible scam move for data and money ### 1/5 — Useless *2026-08-06, version 26.30* I was using the free one, it seemed inconsistent so I ended up paying £19.99, and since I paid I think only 20% of calls say "possible spam" it replies on people after having a call going into the app copy and pasting the number and adding that it's spam or what type of business it is. It's really not worth the money ### 3/5 — 出错了 *2026-08-06, version 26.30* 出现错误。请联系技术支持团队 ### 1/5 — Harmful app *2026-08-05, version 26.30* I've been getting a lot of spam calls and thinking that this app at least filter some. Recently more and more call were passing the app filter and at some point I didn't see point of using it, so I canceled subscription and uninstalled the app. And guess what I no longer receive spam calls! ### 1/5 — Nowhere near as good as it claims *2026-08-05, version 26.30* Was a very effective call blocker, but the last six spam calls I have had easy got passed it and the IOS showed them as spam, not this. Going to delete. ### 1/5 — Truecaller Not Popping Up While Calling or Receiving Calls *2026-08-04, version 26.30* I am using Truecaller paid version. All Truecaller settings are enabled on my iPhone 17 Pro Max. Whenever I receive a call then Truecaller is not popping up and identifying the caller. The same is happening also while receiving the calls. ### 2/5 — iPhone User *2026-08-04, version 26.29* Truecaller is not working on my iPhone 15 pro max. Am I missing something? ### 1/5 — biswanath *2026-08-04, version 26.29* mandi ### 1/5 — عطل فني *2026-08-04, version 26.29* اضغط التالي ثم التالي و عند ايقونه ابدأ اضغط ولا يحدث اي شئ ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Attention *2026-08-17* L'application t'indique que c'est payant seulement après que tu aies rentré toutes tes informations personnelles. C'est top 🤡 ### 1/5 — Worthless *2026-08-13, version 26.30* Don’t waste your money, it does nothing ### 1/5 — Absolutely Terrible *2026-08-13, version 26.30* This app did not filter a single spam call, still getting 15+ scam calls a day on their $15/mo Premium Family Plan. TRASH ### 1/5 — Not Free *2026-08-13, version 26.30* They lie; they say it’s free and once you verify your phone number and give them an email address they say it’s a monthly subscription. Completely ridiculous to say it’s free and then not let people use it. Feels like a scam to harvest personal information. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2026-08-12, version 26.30* Still getting spam calls ### 1/5 — Avoid this app *2026-08-12, version 26.30* Avoid at all cost. App gets your information for their data base and make it impossible to unlist. The chat box does not work. ### 1/5 — فاشل *2026-08-12, version 26.30* ما بنصح اي شخص ينزله أبدا ### 1/5 — data grabbing *2026-08-09, version 26.30* they get into your phone saying « try it for free » and once they have all the data they say subscription is 65$ 🤡 ### 1/5 — Trash *2026-08-07, version 26.30* Don’t throw your money away, scammed to paid a premium and still I kept receiving spam calls……. Save your money ### 1/5 — Useless Scam *2026-08-06, version 26.30* This app does nothing to slow the flood of spam calls. Tech support is useless. Asking for screenshots and regurgitating the installation instructions. It’s very expensive. I consider it to be a scam preying on people who are fed up with the relentless calls. Do not give these scammers your money. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — ♥️♥️♥️ *2026-08-12, version 26.30* Top des tops ### 5/5 — BABINA *2026-08-09, version 26.30* @H ### 5/5 — Very good *2026-08-09, version 26.29* Very helpful ### 5/5 — WORTH IT!! *2026-08-07, version 26.30* I was getting 10+ spam calls a day through all times of the day and night, I have had this app for about 4 weeks now and the calls have completely disappeared. It took about 2 weeks to make them disappear but it really works!! I did try several others that made no difference like aura cloaked, and robocaller. I was nervous since the AI portion does NOT work for Xfinity which is what I use for phone service but it has still stopped the calls! ### 5/5 — حسنين الموسوي *2026-08-04, version 26.30* الموسوي ### 5/5 — Excelente *2026-08-04, version 26.30* Nos ayuda a evitar las estafas y los problemas con llamadas no deseadas ### 5/5 — Perfect app *2026-07-25, version 26.27* Very useful app good job ### 5/5 — Good *2026-07-22, version 26.28* Good app I m comfortable with it ### 5/5 — Good *2026-07-18, version 26.27* 10 ### 5/5 — Book1212 *2026-07-14, version 26.27* Book1212 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
