A little frustrated. I get important calls, and sometimes if I know who is going to be calling me, before I get a chance to permit it, it bounces them right out. On top of it, I can only allow calls if they are added. I don’t want to add everyone. I just want to […]

Great. Now they monetized an already broken system. Do not use this. BIG headache with the names. Very often it’s wrong. Cannot trust it and missed many needed calls because it shows a wrong name. If it identifies an incoming call with the wrong name, all you can do is hit the “wrong name” link […]
Paid for the subscription version (may not be a free version) because I was tired of hearing about extended warrantees! ) but this app continues to block ANY call from a trunk line, not just spammers. As I work for a large organization that deals with the government agencies, this is problematic as I miss […]
Seemed a great app right up until it began nagging to pay for a premium account each call I get. So let’s see if I got this right. They want US to provide caller information so THEY can turn around and charge us for it?! No. That’s not how I roll. If you get something […]
Was great for the months I used it. Now every function is subscription based and without any warning? Nope, gonna join the mass exodus and uninstall. Had a good run! Also, you might want to edit your description, Hiya – “Hiya Call Block Security identifies the calls you want to take and blocks the numbers […]
I had to find a substitute for my call blocker after years of use. This was one of the ones I picked, my bad. This app requested more permissions than other similar apps (imo) and that could have been tolerated. But, it then locked up features like automatically blocking known spam and nuisance numbers (a […]
Awful, simply awful. Before this last update it was quite useful, now it will be removed from my phone. Not only do I need to subscribe monthly or yearly for the service, I am constantly getting pop-ups saying “something went wrong, unable to process” each time I get a call. Don’t waste your time, I’m […]
Was great until they rolled out their subscription service. Individual caller-ID is no longer a part of their free service. Their spam blocker is hit or miss, so the caller ID was the biggest draw for this app. For the record, I don’t mind paying for software, but I LOATHE subscription based models. Simply not […]
This app was, at best, hit or miss in blocking junk callers while allowing calls from contacts through. Too many times a call would be “blocked” but really, it only keeps the phone from ringing, and when voice mail picked up, a message was left that would need to be dealt with. And now they […]
No longer useful. Premium fee for name of caller is beyond me. *We* know who’s calling but if you want to know, you have to pay for it. Uninstalling, there’s others that will identify the caller for free and without having to give contact permission. App uses contacts of users to identify the caller without […]
The app stopped working displaying: “Something went wrong. The system is currently unavailable. Please check your connection and try again.” My connection is fine as all other Internet-based apps work on my phone including this ability to leave a feedback. With this error the app will no longer pull a list of my blocked numbers, […]
Having an issue with the app. Keeps stating that something is wrong and the system is currently unavailable and to try again later. If this keeps up I will be canceling my subscription and trying something else. Update on review : If I could give 0 stars I would. It’s begun to block essential numbers […]
Does not work. Allows spam robocalls to get through, and doesn’t even seem to be stopping calls from numbers I have blocked in the app. It’s a real shame, because Mr. Number worked very well before they started charging for it and vastly downgraded their free service without any notice to current customers. I have […]
This is the absolutely hands down, the best call screening app we’ve ever used. After trying the premium version for a month I gladly went ahead and paid for the yearly plan. It really, really works! (FYI: To switch the premium plan from monthly to yearly, you have to let the monthly plan expire and […]
I have paid for the “Premium” version and it does NOT do what it promises. I still have blocked numbers ringing through and not just one or two rings. You have to actually hit reject to make it stop. This happens even with numbers already in block list. It has only identified 7 calls out […]
This was a great free app I used for YEARS. They added a paid feature where now some free features are part of a paid $2.99 monthly service. That went on for about a year or so, but features I didn’t need. Now after update, 100% of app is $2.99 month after 7 day trial. […]
Wish I could turn off notifications/popups. I know who I’m calling; I don’t need to waste 30 sec trying to remove a popup with the company name so I can use my keypad. I also don’t need a notification of who I just talked to. But it’s good for warning me about telemarketers. *UPDATE* Now […]
I have been using & enjoying this app for several years. For more than several months, the app has misidentified 99% of the calls stating they’re calls from my contacts. The numbers being associated ARE NOT from any of my contacts. Some are toll-free numbers or scammers that had been correctly identified by Hiya but, […]
I’ve had this app for quite a while and it’s still the best! It literally saves hours of time not answering annoying calls. I hate them! One issue I have, though, is deleting numbers from the Block List. Is there a way to delete them all at one time rather than individually? I have hundreds […]
I was so happy to find this app. The setup was very simple. You can easily block numbers that were blocked before, no typing in numbers in order to block them. You can scroll down the call log and block numbers with a couple of clicks. If the number looks to have been blocked before,that’s […]
