T- Customer Insights

1. Last week the app didn't stop 8 calls from getting through, 4 on the same day.All or nothing? Why can't I send likely scam calls to voice mail by default, just in case it's a false positive? I have to block them, and potentially miss important calls, or allow them.

2. But didn't actually stop me from getting any spam calls, just labeled them as "scam likely." Edit after response: they were added as favorites, and still sent right to voicemail.

3. EDIT: The developer responded, thank you much, but didn't address anything in my review.For the past week now I keep seeing my incoming text messages as incoming phone calls in the app.

4. So if you're getting harassing calls they can still ring your phone unless you choose to send them to voicemail.

5. I've Uninstalled the app but it continues to mess up.This app stopped me from getting phone calls from people I actually care about.

6. There have been a few times it's blocked my contacts from calling me and some spam calls still get through.

7. Why can't I report a false positive? Why doesn't this handle texts as well as voice calls? Aside from all that, this is a useful app.

8. This fix would allow me to get calls I actually want and shield me from calls I don't want.I've had this app installed a for a couple of years and I can't determine its effectiveness.

9. For some reason the blocked calls always show up twice on the activity list, making it look like more calls were blocked.

10. I'd suggest going with something else.It is moderately successful in blocking unwanted calls, but doesn't tell you who they are.

11. But a lot of the time it'll block the 1 or 2 spam calls then let it come through.
