Call & SMS Blocker - Blacklist

This is the best app I have found for blocking messages. Once a number is in the list it NEVER gets through again. If you make a mistake it can easily be undone.

I downloaded this app, paid for premium to block constant spam based on keywords but that feature isn't even an option or if it is it's so hard to find it may as well not exist. Waste of time and there are other apps at 1/4 the price that work better.

It works in some ways but it entirely is ruined by the issue that while it is a messager app it doesn't have basic functionality like adding contacts via those sms, you can never change the entire apps theme, premuim unlicks nothing extra it seems that's needed, blocking +11 or such makes a blank template, trying to save a template generates an error. Overall feels like a project piece and I'm yet to find a decent blocking app that doesn't have really functional normal things it should have.

Does not work for Samsung S20+. I installed it because I was looking for a keyword or phrase text messaging blocker to stop these harassing political spoofed text messages I have been receiving hourly. My old S7 came with this feature, but for some reason Samsung got rid of that feature when they upgrade the messaging app on the new phones. When I first installed it, it seemed to be working, but after I paid to removed the ads, the app would consistently freeze. I could not receive or send any text messages, because the app would not work. ZERO STARS. If anyone has a better app that has the keyword blocking feature I would greatly appreciate it. The standard blocking apps don't work for me because the texts I receive come from random numbers and never the same number twice. So blocking the number doesn't really matter.

way too many pop-up adds. Literally EVERY TIME I click the back button, an add pops up. Actually, Basically inbetween trying to do anything I have to exit out of an annoying pop up add just to continue whatever it is I want to do. EXTREMELY ANNOYING!!!! I also dont like how I have to use this app as my default messaging app in order to have one persons text messages blocked. Isnt that the point of this app, to block texts/calls? other than that, this app does work decently.

Besides not being able to open pictures. It worked. Unfortunately after a couple weeks it started acting strange. I would try to enter a text and the app would close. I would be reading a text and it would all by itself go back to the list of text messages. I uninstalled it because it became unusable. I sent an email via their website and never received a reply. That was weeks ago.

Some good, some bad. Seems to be blocking texts based on area code and prefix which is why I use it. The main problem is that when I go to send a text, if I type in a name it doesn't pull up the name. It just shows me every contact. It is also using a stored contact list that doesnt reflect a bunch of deletions I did. Makes it not very useful as a default text client!

Stuttered, locked up, crashed. Had it on mu phone for less than five minuted, so I didn't get to test it's blocking capability. But, that it's UI was pretty much unusable, i gave up and uninstalled it. I also did not like the formatting for text keyword filtering. It was a strange format and just looked for the keyword itself with no allowance for context (beginning of text, end, etc.)

Can't receive or send pics thru text. This alone is a deal killer. Pics hang on waiting to download. U have to set it as default text app so switching the default every time you want to send or receive a picture just isn't practical. It also doesn't appear in the "share" options under pics. I have a perfect blacklist/whitelist on my yahoo email account that works perfect with a few dozen basic filters. I really son't understand why its so impossible to control blocking of texts and phone calls.

I'm a creature of habit and stick with one app for as long as possible. When my previous call blocker croaked on me, I went through quite a few looking for an actual blocker for both text and phone, one that can block everything quietly, without notification or other noise! This one is easy to use, will notify w/o noise and is effective at doing the job that I need. Thank you for creating a product that actually works!

I downloaded this app to try and stop junk texts, which it did. It doesn't seem to block junk calls though. The few gripes I have are - app will not let you be in a group text, if you try sending a photo, it sends the recipient the photo multiple times (37 times once), app opens to blacklist instead of messenger and the Do Not Disturb periods don't seem to work. There are a lot of annoying ads, but I suppose a free app has to make money somehow.

Glitchy, but works sort of, if you keep it running in the background i can't use it as the default tho; it lags and freezes up too often. Also, please don't notify me i have an unread message if it's just an ad; i'm not gonna tap it 😕. Great app otherwise; thank you for the keyword blocker. Seems(?) to work well so far, as long as i use my phone's messenger as the default I'll update when i've had the app longer. Please fix issues.

Nearly 5 Star! I must have tried 10 different apps trying to find one that would truly block all calls except those in my contact list. This app does the job, and would be five stars except for the fact that it does ring two or three times before it actually hangs up on the caller who is not in my contacts. Update: Working fine, just fine. No problem whatsoever.

I appreciate the concept, and it works sometimes. But the "block all except contacts" feature actually blocks some numbers in my contacts. Also, it fails to block a specific land line based number for me. The texts are generally slow to open, which delays ability to respond quickly when needed. If all these issues were worked out, I could give this application a higher rating.

Just installed this app, it is unusable. I can select one sometimes two buttons before it freezes up and won't respond. I have tried several times to send feedback when the "app is not responding" dialog box pops up, but before I can type a message that freezes up as well. On a positive note, I like the colors and the layout. Too bad the app doesn't work.

No way to get help other than make this comment. I have an Android and I purchased the ad free version. All messages indicate "waiting for download". a button appears that says "you mobile data must be on" mine is on and I have restarted the phone at least 10 times. Having no way to communicate with these people is not good. The idea is good, but the follow-through with what they advertise is a total lie. I want my $9 back. Don't use it, certainly do not purchase the ad free version.

It worked for at least a year, but now it glitches which is so frustrating! The good news is that it's blocking certain numbers for me. The WORST part is that I can't send a text to to certain unblocked numbers because the app freezes or blacks out. I've uninstalled it and installed it again to see if it would work, but it's the same damn problem! I need this app to start working again!
