Unfortunately I have to uninstall as it is hard to text from . I search a name in my contacts, then I can't find a way to text!! I'm very impressed. It even shows ID of callers that were forwarded by Google Voice to my phone. It's been behaving well. I do see advertisement. I've tried different apps to stop scammers. On Android 11 LG G8
This app has two major flaws. The first one is in the new Android phones this app takes over the phones natural contact list and calling abilities. Forcing people to use the company's app to make and receive phone calls! The second problem is the today because the database was not updated I received a call but could not answer the call because the database was out of date! This is completely absurd and ridiculous! Fix your app now!
I went from 25 not in contacts 12 states per month without call blocking apps to zero with this app. Occasionally have to go to storage and cache to clear those because updating the filter list gets stuck at updating 100%, ugh have to quickly log out log in set everything up every morning as a result to get it to suceed seriously considering going back to Truecaller.
I have been using for several years. If you add known numbers to your Contacts, they will not be blocked. Anyone blocked will just hear ringing as if the call is not answered and they can leave a message if it is important. SMS messages can be sent and received too. Safe numbers can be added if necessary to the Allow list. It would be good if the app were dual-sim aware, and one sim-card could be blocked and the other not, for example. And, for the call log to say what sim number was called, blocked or not.
Cannot login with google. your app said Google login fail. Your device has not logged in to any account. Please log in before continue. But u know? I cannot download application from Playstore without google account.
I have unsubscribe from your app but still I am being charge for it. Please sort this out. Why am I being charged when your app is no longer on my subscription list almost a month already?
this app uploaded all my contacts to the internet. one day, my colleague's phone which installed this app got call from my boss and he has never saved the boss number but this app showed my boss name (named as same as on my phone) that time i know they upload my contacts list to the internet without my consent. Don't install this app!!
Pretty confuse when trying to answer the phone. There'll be 2 pop up...if you touch the wrong one it would go to number confirmation without answering the phone. You need to get back to phone app to answering.
Search isn't accurate , Truecaller has better results , also the app is too slow .. and takes forever to log out ... There is also a running in background notification constantly
Didn't do much really I still receive scammers numbers calls and texts so now I'm not so sure the reliability of this app
I can't log-in with any google account or Facebook account on any devices, please solve this bug ASAP.
It a great way to keep up with my calls wanted and not wanted ones.
Cheaper than other apps, but the interface is so annoying that it doesn't matter. You have to use the app as default for calls and texts, and they don't have hardly any features for those functions. I can't even get an actual ring tone so I don't miss calls... the app has to use notification sounds for the phone ringing, which is one beep and nothing more.
Used this app for quite a while, it's okay, but since it requires to be the default app, it can't pull up any contacts in contact search, and always warn you, that you may be charged if you use the dial pad to make a call, and the blocked numbers appear on the call log along with my regular calls, I can't tell which number is which. I end up using another app for dialing a number, or looking up a contact, and messages. There's too much wrong, unnecessary stuff on this app for efficient access.
Loved the app so much, I wanted to upgrade to the premium paid plan. I gave them my card number & at the end of the 7 day trial, they wanted a 2nd form of payment as back up. Sorry.. Ain't gonna happen. I'm probably going to drop the free app as well. That's just absurd. Not even my utilities company who takes hundred a month asks for a backup payment method.
Very good app, it can help me verify number and make me decide I should pick up phone call or not.
Great app ,but for blocking texts, you have to use it as your messenger, Blocks Calls from getting to you,but still ringing and end up on Voicemail, and is Blocking numbers that are in my contacts.
Too many adds in the free version. Then I subscribe to get rid of the adds. Now, not even one month in, there is a "click here to close notification" from this app on my screen, that just doesn't go away, no matter what I do, and the app doesn't let you disable notifications. Lose-lose situation.
The app works good but you have to improve in some ways. Try and create different sms categories
There are popup ads with every call screened, and the ads are intrusive, they take up 50% of the screen. The ads also pop up out of nowhere. I would be using my phone, and out of nowhere and ad would cover my entire screen. Not 1 star because the app does block unwanted calls, but 2 stars because the app is super intrusive. You have to give them access to be your default calling app, and you have to grant them permission to everything. They have pretty much full access next to the phone maker.
Whoscall is a nearly useless app. It does NOT identify unknown calls during rings. The app just displays searching and finds nothing even after the call ends. However, if you enter the app afterwards, it does correctly identify in call history, just doesn't do it real-time, which greatly limits its usefulness. The app also contains intrusive ads and fails at manual updates frequently. It is just better than nothing, so I gave it a 1 star.
My phone is already set up to block if I need it. I wanted an app that could identify a true caller vs a marketer or collector. The only problem is the pop up and the additional ad that I would get with every call. Somehow it would freeze up my phone and I'd constantly have to double click too much to remove the pop up. I guess it's not that important to have this app anymore.
Great notification of most numbers that recorded in the database! Impressive!
The warning about SMS is annoying and can't turn off.
I've set it as default caller, but it doesn't really show who's calling, only show number. when line cut off, i need to manually tap in who's call then only show. Is not functional well.
