Notifications need date & timestamp

Since I don't use/look at my phone much due to work restrictions on personal devices having to remain offsite, the notifications are completely useless without a date & timestamp. Please add date & timestamp for notifications. It helps piece potential risks better with what may have triggered the notification. Otherwise we're just asking for repeat risks which usually leads to increased likelihood for identity theft.

Call Filter Experience Downgrade

Having to open an app made for multiple things I’m not interested in with additional terms and services is additional burden for a service that was useful.

Now the feature itself has been degraded again. If you attempt to copy-paste the number from your phone including the country code it will not work. So you’re forced to either copy it elsewhere and remove the country code or manually type it between the app switcher. With robo calls on the rise, having added friction from a paid service doesn’t help.

What a mess!

Now that they merged Call Filter into protect it is very confusing and difficult to use! Big mistake Verizon! Been on fence to get TMobile and this mess decided that for me!

Useless

I still get 5-10 personal loan scammers calling all day, but two calls from my vet to let me know my sixteen year old dog survived his surgery and is ready to be picked up? No, THAT’S what the call that gets blocked. Absolutely useless app.

2nd review after being contacted by support.

Customer support reached out after my first review. Their responses have basically been to adjust my settings (to what they were already set to) and to manually report my spam calls through their portal which takes minutes per spam call (I get up to 10 spam calls per day).

Manually reporting my spam calls has yielded no results and is a waste of my time. I also already flag and report EVERY spam call through the phone app, so it seems like it SHOULD be redundant.

Tldr App is still pointless after being contacted by the devs.
