BEST CALL BLOCKING APP...EVER! Man, I love this app cause it really does block those spam calls I get from Amazon. Neat app!
★★★★★
Great app Makes life alot easier by blocking annoying market calls

At Last - A Blocker which does what I want I've chosen the setting - 'All calls not on my contacts list ring silently' That way I never get distracted. All of these calls will eventually divert to voicemail. Genuine callers will leave a message. PPI/injury scams never do! I can then review my missed calls periodically and choose which are added to the permanent reject list. Brilliant!
★★☆☆☆
Let's blocked calls through App used to work great, but lately it allows calls on blocked list to ring through. Useless app now.
★★☆☆☆
Stop working I had this app for the past 3yrs and it was working fine. ...now for the past few months. ..blocked numbers are coming thru...and some going to my voice mail...it acts like it's working and shows in the Block History. .but it didn't work. ..I'm Uninstalling this Crap!!!
★★☆☆☆
No longer works No longer works at all. I like to use the disconnect option and it doesn't work. Sad because this used to be the best. 8/19/16 Edit: Well at least in 2015 when I wrote the previous review, calls were getting blocked although I didn't like having missed call notifications and calls going straight to voicemail. Now calls are just straight coming through like nothing. I go to add it to the block list thinking I haven't added this number and it says it already exists. Well then block it!! App is pretty useless
★★☆☆☆
Doesn't y block calls. They either make my phone ring or go to my voicemail without ringing. Waste of time to stop what I'm doing to listen to multiple voicemail calls that are spam, scams, or otherwise cons. 'This is a legal notice for Terrence Richardson. Do not ignore this call or your wages may be garnished blah blah blah' and its brethren... 'This is Google verification please press 1 to enable verification or press 2 to confirm your listing failure to do so blah blah blah.' Daily I get multiple calls like these. There is no Terrence Richardson here (this is a common reported scam) and I'm a digital marketer...so I know these are cons. I hate con artists and their thievery. Governments should change the charge for these cons from civil/criminal penalties to immediate capital punishment. Sorry about soapbox but these cons add nothing of value to society and its victims :/
