Still love it but... I just upgraded to Android 4.4 this morning and now there is no filtering of calls, MMS, SMS. What can I do Noah?
★★★★★
Awesome app One of my must have apps. Noah is always timely with feedback and help. If you don't like Shady's SMS app as the required default texting app then have fun finding an alternative to this app. It's still the best out there. Keep up the good work!
★★☆☆☆
Downgrade This app has really been a downgrade. I have problems of shady contacts showing up on my regular text messages. I went back in settings, check sms filter and it still happen. I even reset all of the settings to default and still no improvement. Considering this a paid app, It is not a good one. Noah, u say this is the best app on Google, at one point it was. Your words do not speak on any improvement for kit katt nor does it say that you are working on the problem.
★★☆☆☆
No Good This app was hot.. now its garbage. Switched from GS3 to GS5..and now I can't send mms through the spam filter app.. I have to close out spam filter, open up regular messaging to send or receive mms.. this defeats the purpose of even having shady. . And all shady contacts calls come through as spam filter. I can't even tell who's calling. And based on my recent experiance with Noah and other reviews I thing Noah is in denial that Shady has turned to $£!+..
