Did you want some rave reviews? Well, CBS, TIME, and Forbes are among the many who loved it:
“PrivacyStar uses larger databases of untrustworthy numbers to preemptively block calls from the outside.” – The Verge
"PrivacyStar won’t just tell you who it is, but also identify the caller indicating how likely they are to be an annoying telemarketer." – TechCrunch
But let’s get to the features:
π Scam Likely Protection - We update our database EVERY. SIX. MINUTES. By the time you’ve watched a few TikToks, we’ve refreshed all of our data with the most accurate information to ensure you’re protected against scammers, spammers, and fraudulent callers.
β Enhanced Caller ID** - Never wonder who’s calling again! We’ll identify incoming calls with a Name, Category, even an Enhanced Image and Logo when available.
π Reverse Number Lookup - Lookup any number. Go ahead, try it. PrivacyStar will display the owner of the number and an associated call category, if available.
π« Block By Category - Block telemarketers, account services, shady politicians - even your ex.
π Prevent Callers from Leaving Voicemails** - Block calls and prevent new voicemails, or block calls and send them straight to voicemail. Your phone, your choice.
π Notifications** - We’ll shoot you a notification when calls are blocked, sent to voicemail, even when you have new voicemails.
π Report Callers - File a report against abusive callers directly from the app! We’ll send those reports to the FTC, and they’ll put them on a bad guys list.
π« Custom Call Blocking - Add any number to your blocklist. Seriously, any of them.
π Category ID - Displays the Call Category of the incoming call, if available.
π‘οΈ Protect Privacy - Your contact list? Not our business. We only use your contacts to help your incoming call experience - your contacts stay where they belong, on your phone.
** = Features only available to Verizon, AT&T, and Cricket customers at this time

This app was better than expected l went from 15β20 calls a day to one or two a week. After having this app for the past few months my opinion of it is dropping!!! After I block a number I want NOTHING more to do with it yet this app still notifies me when they call

This call block π« blocks all my good calls and allows spam texts. Please don't get this app. I missed interview calls, calls from friends who think I blocked them, and dr. Appts. Very upsetting. Don't do it
