Reviews for Call Control. Call Blocker

This app does indeed do a great job of blocking spam & scam calls! Just like it is suppose to do! I just hate the limited amount of calls that can be blocked! I paid for the pro edition, & when I got a new phone, somehow, my subscription wasn't on record, & it should have been! So, give me my subscription back, & I will gladly give you five stars!

Lately when I get calls you can't find who is calling when you use the credits to do so. It just seems like it is getting worse and I have had this app for quite a while. Its disappointing that these calls can make it through without the name of who is calling! I just checked my settings and I do have Unknown Calls blocked but yet they keep coming through and ringing.

Have had this app for over a year. Worked great until about 3 months ago. Right after a new subscription. Now everything comes through....everything. I have it set to block similar numbers (same prefix)...doesn't block any of them. They ALL come through. Every single call comes through! Even community blacklisted numbers. I have not had a 'blocked call' notification in months. No, it is not my default phone app and I don't want it to be. It worked before without that being the case, why not now?

I used this app for several years and loved it. Lately it has been sending ALL of my wife's calls directly to voicemail without my phone even ringing. She is in my contacts and is on my "Always allow" list. Her number differs from mine only by the last four digits. This problem only started when I began using the "Block Similar Numbers" feature. I'm sure lots of couples have numbers that are the same area code and exchange. There is something seriously wrong with their logic if it blocks similar numbers even when in your contacts and "Always Allow" lists. I've tried turning off the blocking of similar numbers, but can't seem to get it off.

It's been great thus far but recently, blocked and scam calls are coming through! Upon checking settings, app turned off my call blocking, I would have to keep enabling block & as a previous review stated about paid membership being recognize as trial, it does this to me as well. It would state I have a few days left of block and if I want to continue, to upgrade.. But of course when I exit out of it, it will show I am premium member until mid 2023.

The call blocking are excellent the ability to block by area codes is a big plus. My biggest complaint is numerous calls that will not hang up even after pressing the end call button. Sometimes my only option is to just turn my phone completely off. I cannot stress how awkward it is when I hang up a call and someone is still there sometimes hearing things they should not hear. The two stars are for the complete and obvious inconvenience. This has already caused me on several conversations.

There are several points that I'd like to make.. First, it's allowing more spam calls in then I feel it should. Second, even though I have a paid subscription it still does not identify the call coming in - you have to pay extra for that. However, the things I DO like are there are no ads with the paid version.. And it has a Do not Disturb option the developers told me about.. As my phone also has a Do Not Disturb the Call Control version of it allows me to set it so that only incoming calls on my white list and my contacts will come in. This is the best feature as if you're not in my contacts, I don't need to talk to you... But I also can't give it 5 stars for the same reasons - especially since it doesn't give the possible identify of the caller as other call control programs so.. UPDATE - This is from their support team after they requested I contact support about the issue... "I've checked the numbers in your screenshot and three of the numbers actually have advanced results in our system. But they can only be obtained if you Lookup these numbers using provided lookup credits." So in other words we have to pay to look up the numbers - taking away a star!

This app worked great, but lately, it isn't working like it is supposed to. I have a number blacklisted as disconnect, which is supposed to drop the call and not send it to voicemail. However, that same number has been leaving voice-mail messages, which I need to go in and delete. Obviously, a bug has developed in the software that I hope is fixed soon.

Not production ready. It blocked a contact on my white list. Boss was calling all day. Wasted $30. It shouldn't be out of beta, let alone available for sale. Very hard to add blocked numbers. Multiple paths to achieve the same thing... some work, some don't... some methods of doing things are accessible where you need to use them and some aren't. Extremely frustrating to have worked around the cluckiness, thinking you got something to work but find out later that the setting wasn't saved.

Great app! I have an unwanted caller. I got this app because it claimed to block calls AND messages. At the beginning, it wasn't working for me. I would block but, the voice and text messages kept coming. So, I contacted their support team and they were able to help me tweak the settings. Finally, the app disconnects him altogether and no more messages! Now, he has to go through the trouble of getting a new number to call me from every few months but, then I just block him again. Thx!

A little less than 1/4 of the spam calls I get are blocked by the community, the rest I have to manually block. I report darn near every call, but the program says I have only reported two, and that was back in 2015 & 2017. Unknown caller ID gets through, that seems pretty basic and shouldn't. It's letting through numbers that are explicitly listed in blocked list. Support request went unanswered. Might not renew subscription, could be something better out there.

Caller ID is non-existent(no auto identify names just numbers) but scam blocking-wise it's perfect. Also, no way to view voicemail . But still, tried so many apps over the years and none have been this affective. Paid version is well worth it(only $30 for entire year) Cool design and UI, easy to use, database updated by the minute thanks to community support.

This app works great! It blocks calls on the community block list so you never have to deal with them & is easy to use. You can set it to disconnect the blocked call or send it to voicemail in case it might be a call you're interested in. You can set a number of variations to meet your preferences as well. I've been using it for almost 10 years now & it has never let me down. UPDATE: I dropped one star because phone number look-up has never found any info for me. Not one single time.

Disconnect feature seems to work in Trial Mode, which is what I wanted the most. Stops working after Trial Mode, obviously. Is it worth upgrading to Premium? Depends on your carrier. Research your options first. There's no Visual Voicemail. If it had Visual Voicemail, then I might make the decision to upgrade to premium. I say it's worth at least a Trial and see if you like it good enough to pay.

UI is nice. Intuitive & straightforward. it must be your default phone app. Options to block the calls by disconnection a plus. Can be used on second line & sms/mms. You have to scroll through entire contact list to call someone. Spam that bypasses calling is not supported, you also can’t direct call your v-mail by dialing 1 on keypad. True deal breakers for me. Can’t see paying $29.99 p/y or even $9.99 p/q for something that doesn't completely work. Uninstalled after trial.

love this app. it's the only call blocker I found that not only blocks the caller but it also doesn't allow them to leave voicemail if you don't want them to. it will straight up pick up and hang up on them should you choose to. I think it's amazing especially when you have an ex who just doesn't know when to stop. you can also have the app tell the caller your number is no longer in service. another great feature! and those are both on the free version! truly the best apps I've ever downloaded

I just installed the app and looked up 2 numbers to see if it was spam. 2 ads started playing for about 3 minutes long. Okay that's fine. They finished and I started exploring the app to see what I could do. I moved to the statistic screen and backed out and bam! More ads about the same length. I don't have an hour to waste on ads just to figure what all I can do with your app when it could take me 5 minutes without them. 1/5

This app effectively singles out 'Potential' threats, (SPAM, Scam, etc.), and apparently sends selected numbers to a global database that is used to alert ALL users of potential threats in real time. Pretty cool, really. It allows the user to instantly block calls while they are 'ringing' or after the call, leaving a popup on the screen to select this. I think we all wish there was a way, without going into DND mode, to ensure that blocked numbers NEVER ring.

It's horrible and NOT worth paying for. I saw some recommend this app on a forum complaining about robo scam/spam calls. They mentioned you could require the callers to enter a code/instruction to actually connect the call. Since most spam calls are robocalls they would automatically be blocked. This wasn't true but I did not know this. Downloaded the app and paid for 1 year. Stick with your regular phone app. More spam calls getting through with this app than my regular phone app.

UPDATE: Over a year later it still has not been fixed. You need to start refunding people as a service you advertise and we pay for doesn't work. NOT once in nearly 2 years has it ever said who is the caller when doing the look up. I always end up having to google it. And you need a feature that auto blocks robocalls and numbers that are not even in service. The premium caller look up rarely ever works.
