Enroll today and start answering with confidence.

Key Features:

• Get real-time alerts on your incoming call screen so you can better avoid spam calls

• Automatically send spam callers to voicemail with the spam filter

It works okay. I was using the free version and I can only allow 5 numbers to be "allowed" and I hit that limit. so I looked at potentially paying for the paid version, and you are only allowed 10 numbers to be "allowed" to call. I am rating it a 0 as I feel you should be allowed to let as many numbers as you want through. I also believe that Verizon should just do better at not letting so many spam calls be made to their customers.

Best app found to easily block spam text and calls. However, there are no settings to allow you to back off on what it blocks, nor does it warn you the call may be spam and allow you to answer it. So, it's a little aggressive. It just marks it as spam and blocks it outright. Sitting here waiting on a call with a physician and the app blocked it. Not what I expected to happen.

The app doesn't work. It just says it's checking account status forever. Also, this app allows some spam to come through. Some loan company kept calling for someone whom I've never heard of, and they refused to remove my number. i tried reporting them and blocking them but still received their spam voicemails. I'm not emailing you to "troubleshoot" the issue. It was working fine, so I doubt it's a setup issue. Perhaps the people you pay to keep your apps functioning could look into it.
