Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Looking at 62 reviews, most reviewers were unhappy with their experience overall. Many customers found the app to be poorly designed and not properly tested, leading to numerous pain points and a lack of effective change control. People frequently reported issues with the app's core functionality, such as not identifying calls correctly, receiving spam calls immediately after installation, and problems with blocking unwanted numbers. The service was often described as useless and unreliable, with some users experiencing their phones hanging or other apps not working properly after installation. Reviewers also expressed significant dissatisfaction with customer service, citing poor response times, ignored emails, and difficulty canceling subscriptions or getting refunds for non-working products. Conversely, a small portion of people felt the app was very helpful and effective at blocking calls, even stating it was better than comparable apps and that they were satisfied with its performance.

Not worth it

Not worth it. Now my IOS 26 update can do much more than this stupid app. Every one please uninstall this Chinese app that sells people data to companies and other groups.

Used this app to block 0843 and 0845 spam numbers. Next day, I got 2 calls before noon. It did nothing to stop them.
Back to blocking each number as it comes through.
There seems no system which can block these spam calls unless you block every single number which isn’t in your call list. That’s not possible since you would be blocking companies and individuals you do want to call you.

Complete scam

Complete scam. Opened up the pre-installed free app, it confirmed my number and within one minute I had a spam call from a number in Poland. I very rarely, if ever, get scam calls yet with this app I get one immediately. Now uninstalled.
Why anyone would use this, let alone pay for it, is completely beyond me.

I downloaded this app and immediately got random numbers and text messages. I also had my bank account hacked and had to flag the fraud department to stop any further attempts. Please avoid this company they are selling your details on to doggy companies and fraudsters.

If I could give zero stars I would.
I have been paying for premium product and after updating to new iPhone, it no longer activates the screening, I have tried to get support and have been ghosted and they only have responded once to five emails. Support is none existent. Avoid using this app and good luck canceling your subscription and getting a refund on a product that doesn’t work
