Reviews for Spam Blocker Pro – Mezo

The app is fine for sending and receiving messages, and I like the ability to separate business and personal messages. But, I got the app specifically to block spam, and it doesn't do that. Yes, you can block numbers from messaging you again, but you still get the first message. To get a higher rating (from me), the app needs a setting to assume messages from non-contacts are spam and let you whitelist any you want to allow.

It's a nice app. The spam and business sorting works wonders, but there's a lack of customization and settings. Every chat has a different color which I'd prefer to be able to change the color of each chat and look of the app's overall theme. I hate that it pops up with message delivered every text you send. Clicking the person's info at the top should open contacts. I wish there was an option to just show their name and not their number in chat. Overall it's good, but could use more features.

I commented 4 years ago: "When a keyword contains Chinese characters, the blocking does not work." I just paid for Premium and am glad to see this issue has been solved. I think it only lacks one feature that I want desperately – adding a "Delete" button on the incoming message notifications so that users can delete a message straightaway. And when I tapped on "Need help? Chat with us", it showed "WhatsApp is not installed", which was not the case.

I bought the premium, but it doesn't do much more. It said it would be able to set up automatic replies but that's not anywhere to be found. If you want to set up an "allow list" so important friends can always send a text, you have to -each time- scroll through all the countries in the world to set the number prefix. Annoying! I have had this app for 1/2 hr and am ready to cancel. Deleted but unable to get refund!

Works great at filtering spam, would give it 5 stars but I can't save photos or any attachment that were texted to me, when you hit save it says it can't. And you can't highlight text in a message, like if someone texts you their address and you want to copy/paste it into navigation or you get one of those dual authentication codes, you can't just highlight and copy the relevant data out of the message. I paid for the full version so its disappointing it doesn't work fully.

It's the only app I've found that separates texts from unknown numbers into their own folder. That was the feature I wanted most. Unfortunately, the problem is that too many real texts from people in my contact list come through as unknown numbers, and I can't reply to them or even see what number it was to figure out who sent it. I'm essentially losing real texts due to it tossing 50% of what comes in into this long string of unknown numbers and glomming them into this massive useless thread. A warning bell went off when it first installed and imported my texts. It created a HUGE thread of unknown texts in a single thread (in addition to individual threads per contact), and it looked like every text I'd gotten from everyone in my contacts list for who knows how long. Clearly there are some serious bugs here in basic operation. I had to go back to my previous SMS app. Maybe I'll try again in the future if they work some of the bugs out.

I originally thought this was a great app. paid the high price with no issues because the blocking was legit. However it turned out to have some serious issues with mms messages. No way to manage how they send so they only do separate replies to each person in the group chat. Also images would not show up and couldn't insert. Ni ability to select current conversation. The blocking features are some of the best I've seen but the mms issue is too big for me to over look.

My original review complained that the app wouldn't rotate into landscape mode. They fixed that. I recently tried the app again to block texts based on keywords. On standard text messages that worked fine, but if a spammer sent a text that was for some reason in multimedia format, I would still get the notification, even if the message went to my "blocked" folder. The whole point of blocking the messages is so I don't get notifications, and this failed at that. Also, I didn't receive some notifications of group messages from family members, and I had to go back to my old app if I wanted to split the message into an individual conversation so I could reply to just the sender.

I absolutely LOVE this app!! When I started receiving a ton of annoying spam texts, I blocked them by keyword and they stopped! 🥰 It's also really useful for enforcing boundaries with people by instantly detecting and deleting texts from numbers I choose! Rather than seeing hurtful texts from someone, I can just block them and only allow phone calls instead. My point is that this app customizes my experience with texting and I'm grateful. Thank you! 😊

You were the only app that could block incoming texts based on a keyword, which I desperately need to fight off all the spoofed spam I get. Now it's a paid premium feature. So disappointed. I also could not send group messages to the GROUP, instead it would send to everyone individually, which annoyed everyone in my group. My search for a spam-blocking app that works for me continues.
