Description
Been using Should I Answer? for a couple months now. It’s basically an app that helps you deal with all those annoying spam calls and telemarketers. Pretty solid if you’re sick of getting bothered by random numbers.
Here’s what you do: whenever an unknown number calls, the app checks it against a database of reported spam numbers. And if it’s flagged as sketchy, the app will warn you not to pick up. There’s also an option to automatically block those numbers so they can’t get through. And if you get a call you’re not sure about, you can rate it in the app – that helps build the database for everyone.
Look, if you’re sick of dealing with spam calls, you’ll probably like this. It’s not perfect – the database isn’t 100% accurate all the time – but overall it does the job. Worth checking out if you want to get rid of those unsolicited calls for good.
Editor Opinion
So here's my take on Should I Answer?. I've tested a bunch of call blocking apps and this one's actually pretty solid. The database seems to catch most of the known spam numbers, and the automatic blocking is super convenient. Not gonna lie, there have been a few times where it's flagged a legit call as spam, but that's a minor annoyance. Overall, it's been a game-changer for me in dealing with all those endless calls from random numbers.

Let me edit my review. I've had some unwanted calls blocked. I still get a few robo calls, but it's getting better. I guess I just needed to give the...
Like others complain about.. the nag notifications about updating the database are getting extremely annoying. No way to shut them off. You need to pay for premium (a monthly subscription)...
Didn't help or make a difference like I was hoping. I chose "active" protection and scam calls still got through. I went in and adjusted the block call settings and...
