Reviews for Mr. Number: Spam Call Blocker

Had as a free service for years, and overall worked pretty well for identifying spam calls. I noticed about 5 months ago a lot of spam calls getting through as well as caller ID no longer working. Then they moved to a pay subscription and, given the drop-in functionality, I deleted it. It was a great product for years, but not worth paying for it. Tried to free sister version and did not offer anything that this app used to.

Used to be a good app, but several months ago, they changed to a premium service options. I get it, charge users for caller ID. A bummer for a feature that was free for years, but the app still worked. Every update since then has removed more and more features for unpaid users. Then the paywall happened. Although I used this app happily for years, I cannot see the logic in spending a monthly fee for something that hasn't worked right in six months or more. Uninstalled.

I love this application! It was recommended several years earlier by PC World magazine. I am so glad I found it! I have recommended it to anybody and everybody that has ever mentioned needing to block phone calls. Edit 6/24/19: This app is no longer free. I am saddened. Thank you for the time you gave me. But still dropped to 2 stars for no warning about cutting us off and not just a one time charge. I would pay $10 once for it, but not a yearly fee. Sorry guys.

The initial version allowed blocking by pick up and hang up, now it goes to voicemail, so they keep calling every day. It looks like the updates work worse than the old version. Not to mention it says it is free, when actually it is not. The caller ID is not free even with the free trial period. I guess I'll look for something else for now.

This app was ok when I first started using. Over time it allows blocked spam to come through like a normal phone call. I have been using for a while and now there is a sudden change to a charge. Since there was no notification and the app doesn't work I will be uninstalling. This is poor planning and horrible customer service. If I could give a negative star I would.

I’ve had this app for years and used to absolutely love it and recommend it to all my friends. Gradually over time it has declined to the point that I’m going to replace it. In the beginning, it identified most incoming calls. Now it IDs those in your contact list and asks you to pay to identify most of the rest. It has also gotten slower and slower, meaning you can actually miss a call before it identifies it. And finally, I had to back up my phone and do a factory reset recently. When I restored the phone and apps, there was no way to log in to my previously free subscription. It demands that I pay for a new subscription, even though the service has declined significantly from the time when it was free. Sorry, I’ve had enough.

I don't like the new updates. Seems like it's making the app worse. I liked it better when it first came out. I can't block numbers that are not already saved in my phone. That function was taken away now I have to block each number that calls as they call. I don't like that. I may try another app until this one gets better. I hate all these unknown numbers that come through that are generated by a computer. Also we used to be able to just have the call rejected and not go to voicemail. Me entire voicemail consist of robo calls.

Work great when it was free. What I didn't like was the way they went about requiring a subscription fee now. No notice. Snuck it through on a update. I found out when it quit working and investigated why. If they would have notified me in advance they were going to require a subscription fee I would have paid to keep Mr. Number. I uninstalled it.

UPDATE:no longer shows me a text message log. Took down two stars for that. ----- No more spam and telemarketers, and no one who's not in my contact list can bother me. It was free the first week I used it then it became a paid app, but at about a dollar a month it's worth it. I own a business and this has been invaluable on cutting down on BS calls from salespeople.

I have had this app for months and it worked. It has now been uninstalled from my phone. When a developer is more interested in money, puts up a subscription wall without even telling all the customers so we could at least get our blocked numbers off, then it is time to move on. If you want something free that works then do not install this app. Not only did it stop working but now you have to pay for it. It is a case of someone developing an app that actually does what it is written to do, then getting high scores and then deciding making money is more important than helping others. There are other apps out there that will work and are still free.
