Aus wie vielen Ländern erwartet man üblicherweise Anrufe?

Also ich persönlich vielleicht aus 3-4. Nach Installation der App gehe ich in die Einstellungen und stelle fest, dass ich jetzt knapp 195 LänderVorwahlen, abzüglich der drei oder vier, die ich benötige, manuell einzeln aktivieren muss. Wer programmiert so etwas? Wieso gibt es keinen Schalter, der alle LänderVorwahlen grün aktiviert, und dann nimmt man die 2-4 Vorwahlen, die man persönlich durchlassen möchte wieder raus.
Deinstalliert, ich arbeite dann doch lieber weiter mit unbekannt stumm.

An Entwickler:
Danke für die Antwort. Diese Zahlen 1-9 sind aber wahllos verteilt. Also nicht selbsterklärend. Weiterhin lese ich, dass ich nur drei Tage zum Testen habe, was für einen Test viel zu kurz ist, da ich nicht täglich angerufen werde. Einen Stern mehr für die Antwort.

Vielen Dank für Ihr Feedback. Sie haben die Funktionsweise der App nicht ganz richtig verstanden. In den Einstellungen Ihres Telefons sehen Sie 100 Einträge mit den Bezeichnungen „WideProtect-1“, „WideProtect-2“ und so weiter. Dabei handelt es sich jedoch nicht um Ländercodes, und Sie müssen nicht alle auf einmal aktivieren – es reicht aus, die ersten 10 (mit den Nummern -1, -2, -3 usw.) zu aktivieren. Jeder Eintrag blockiert bis zu 10 Millionen Nummern, und welche genau – das legen Sie in der App fest, indem Sie die Vorwahl der Spammer-Nummer hinzufügen, zum Beispiel +49 89 12. Wenn es erforderlich ist, fordert die App Sie auf, weitere Einträge in den iPhone-Einstellungen zu aktivieren. Leider ist dies programmtechnisch nicht möglich – der Nutzer muss dies selbst tun. Sollten Sie noch Fragen haben, schreiben Sie uns bitte eine E-Mail; wir werden Ihnen auf jeden Fall antworten. Vielen Dank!

Life Saver

I’ve been using this app since 2018, and it has been incredibly reliable at blocking unwanted calls. Over the years, it has consistently done exactly what I needed it to do and has greatly reduced the number of spam and nuisance calls I receive. After using it for this long, I can confidently say it has proven to be a dependable and effective call-blocking app.

Paywall Dreck

Wie zu erwarten war, funktioniert die ganze App nur wenn man dafür zahlt. Ekelhaft.
Keine einzige Funktion funktioniert wenn man nicht dafür zahlt.
Und noch ekelhafter ist es, dass es nicht mal gekennzeichnet ist.
War ja klar, man muss ja die Situation ausnutzen um Menschen auszubeuten.
Absolut schlechte App und ein noch dreckigerer Verein dahinter!

Es tut mir leid zu hören, dass Sie unzufrieden sind, aber bitte führen Sie andere nicht in die Irre – in der App steht, dass Sie innerhalb von 3 Tagen bis zu 10 Millionen Nummern sperren können, wobei Sie alle Funktionen der App nutzen können. Danach müssen Sie sich für einen der Tarife entscheiden. Wenn wir Ihnen bei den Einstellungen helfen können, schreiben Sie uns bitte eine E-Mail. Vielen Dank!

Bien

Je pense, ça peut être pas mal

Merci beaucoup pour vos commentaires !

Not sure

Maybe I did something incorrectly, but it worked the first two days during the test. And then I went into my call log and I noticed that I’m getting calls from other area codes that I have not blocked that are being blocked. I don’t know why this may be callers that I’m expecting to get calls from so I don’t know why. Then I made a change in the settings and now everything is going into my recent calls, including the ones that I have blocked through this app. Now I’m really confused. It doesn’t make sense so I need some TechSupport. I don’t know where to get TechSupport from.

Hi there, please open the app, choose screen "Help" and send us email from there. Also please include screenshots of the calls in iPhone - Recent list. Thank you in advance!

Difficult to understand

Definitely not for beginners at using technology!

Terrible

I bought this spam blocker given all the positive reviews. However this app doesn’t block calls. I’ve specified block calls from 610 area code yet I am still giving calls every day from 610 area code. Not going to pay for an app that doesn’t work!

This App Really Works!

Highly recommend this App and the companion SMS Blocker if you get lots of spam calls and texts. The developer is also very responsive in replying to any questions.

Hi there, thank you for your feedback! Could you please send us email with details - which numbers are coming through? We will help you with settings. Thank you in advance!

Finally!!

A workable solution to Apple's restrictive policy of limiting blocking. When I moved a few years ago I accidentally ended up with a 405 area code here on Phoenix. And for years since have gotten Spam calls almost every week day. None of the apps has worked and none allowed me to block the entire 405 area code. Then I ran across WideProtect and decided to try it out. Didn't expect it to actually work and certainly didn't plan on giving up any of my money for it!!

I was wrong! This really works! And I used it as a trial for a couple of weeks and just about every day found phone calls that had been blocked, and never heard a thing! Just bought the lifetime deal and highly recommend it especially if you need whole area code blocking!

Saved my sanity

Was getting a lot of robo calls that would generate 8XX- numbers tried everything but WideProtect allowed me to easily block ranges. Worth every penny.

I can finally sleep at 6am after getting around 6 daily spam calls from telemarketers asking about my father or just silent.

It is really wide protection

The ability to filter calls by patterns is priceless. I stopped spam calls totally without loosing the calls I expect to get.

Finally!

The WideProtect app has really made my life easier. I use to get spam calls out of specific area codes or spoofed numbers from a state /city that I have no affiliation with. That has stopped about 99 plus percent of the time. Of course occasionally I have to add more numbers which is quick and easy.

What is going on with app?

I hate to lose this app because it was working nicely. I can’t add a prefix now without error messages and the app always asking to reload. Sent email with logs to developer hoping for resolution. Also tried reset extensions which does not work.

Developer promptly contacted me with work around.

Sehr hilfreich

Endlich Ruhe mit sinnlosen Anrufen. Ist schon unverschämt, was da manche so treiben. Das ist ja schon Telefonterror.
WideProtect kann ich nur weiterempfehlen.
