Always shows an error when trying to activate ### 1/5 — Fraco *2025-12-09* Mesmo pagando premium, continuei recebendo várias chamadas; não entendo como elas passam se já foram identificadas como spam! E se você atende uma sequer, esquece, te bombardeiam com uma ligação atrás da outra, passa de dez. Insuportável. ### 1/5 — Ruim, passa tudo *2025-12-08* Mesmo com o pagamento do plano premium, passa muito spam sem identificar. Não tem opção de bloquear, apenas identificar. ### 1/5 — 중국어플 *2025-12-08* 개인정보지키려다 오히려 털리겠네요. 어쩐지 업데이트후 디자인이 촌스럽고 정신사납더라… 등록한 스팸번호도 다 날라가고 이상했는데 이런거였군요. 중국에 넘어갔으면 미리 공지라도 하던가 너무 찝찝하네요 **Developer response:** 안녕하세요. 후스콜입니다. 후스콜을 이용해 주셔서 감사합니다. 염려하시는 '중국 앱으로 인수 및 개인 정보 유출'에 대해서는 사실이 아님을 먼저 명확히 말씀드립니다. 후스콜은 대만 회사이며 중국 회사가 아닙니다. 후스콜은 개인 정보 유출에 전혀 영향을 끼치지 않으니 안심하고 사용하셔도 됩니다. 개인정보 관련 더 상세 내용이 궁금하시다면 후스콜 앱 내 프로필 > 우측 상단 설정 > 후스콜 정보 > '개인정보취급방침'에서 상세 내용을 확인하실 수 있습니다. 또한 등록하신 번호 정보는 완전히 사라진 것이 아닌 시스템 내부에서 다른 유저에 의해 제공된 데이터와 함께 분석·처리된 후, 전화 식별 시 반영됩니다.
 따라서 앱에서는 공유한 발신자 번호 정보가 바로 보이지 않고, 해당 번호의 가장 신뢰 할만한 최신 정보가 표시됩니다.
 이는 여러 사용자의 공유 정보가 모여 보다 정확하고 통합된 정보를 제공하기 위함이니 양해 부탁드립니다. 후스콜이 새로 선보인 UI에 대해서는 개선 해야 할 부분이 있다면 후스콜 홈 > 우측 상단 프로필 > 설정 > ‘피드백 남기기’를 통해 소중한 의견을 보내주시기 바랍니다. 소중한 의견은 후스콜 서비스 개선에 큰 도움이 됩니다. 더 편리하고 만족스럽게 후스콜을 이용 하실 수 있도록 꾸준히 노력하겠습니다. 감사합니다. 후스콜 드림 ### 1/5 — ScamApp *2025-11-21, version 4.5.0* Really Scammy App which uses highly intrusive ads if you don’t buy a subscription.
