Robokiller: Spam Call Blocker for Negative User Reviews

Stops working and leads to extra carrier chargesAfter about a week and a half it simply stopped working. No change to settings, nothing. It just stopped screening calls. I also must have missed the small print about additional carrier charges. The app “forwards” calls in order to screen them. I was surprised when I received my phone bill and had been charged a flat fee for each call I received that was forwarded by the app. So in addition to the subscription fee for the app, your carrier may charge for the call forwarding. Bottom line: it cost a whole lot of money for absolutely nothing in return..Version: 5.7.8

DON’T INSTALLThis app is like a virus, once you set it up, I becomes next to impossible to remove. Redirects important calls, and will mess up your life until you do a phone restore..Version: 5.7.6

This app does what it says.. sort ofI purchased this app because I was inundated with robo-calls 20 to 40 times a day. Robokiller stopped those calls rather quickly. I would get a few calls per day but nothing like it was before installing Robokiller. The calls kept coming so I decided to answer a few of them. There was never anyone on the other side of the call. You know that a typical robo-call will transfer to a person to try to scam you one way or another. But the answered calls never had a live person or a recording. Just dead air. I pondered this for a while answering the calls, and nothing changed. So I did not renew Robokiller and removed it from my phone. One thing I noticed was that I was not getting ANY robo-calls at all. I would think that without an app intercepting the robo-calls. There be some getting through. I stopped getting ANY robo-calls for about 2 to 3 weeks. They gradually started again. My point is that Robokiller did stop the calls. But I wonder if the dead air calls were actually part of the Robokiller app? You know, so it appears that the app is still working after it succeeded killing the other robo-calls. So yes, I believe the app works as advertised. But does the app ‘create’ calls to boost the appearance that it is still working?.Version: 22.06.17

Free version didn’t work at all.Within days I was recovering spam callers. Do not use free app..Version: 23.9.2

Call forward will cost you big $$$Calls get forwarded to a long distance number. Got a shock of $200 bill on what I thought was my unlimited plan. Turns out call forward cost me both minutes and long distance. When someone called me was actually routed long distance and I was paying big!!!.Version: 5.7.2

No support for Canadian carriersNone of the support articles mention Canadian carriers or how to get past setup. Don’t waste your time..Version: 5.7.4

Call forwarding charges!!!😡😡😡😡Omg I’m so mad. I live in Vancouver Canada and when calls come in they are forwarded by RoboKiller to Fort St John where their call screening is located and Telus charged me long distance for EVERY call forwarded!! I emailed RoboKiller support but they took 4 weeks to get back to me even after multiple emails! They told me to dial ##004# on my cell phone to stop the call forwarding so I did and that worked but it basically stops RoboKiller from doing its job that I PAID FOR. Do NOT use this app in Canada.😡.Version: 5.4.4

Be careful. You will be charged, a lot, and get zero benefit.I received a fat phone bill for the month that I used robokiller. They forwarded my calls to a number at my expense. I guess I should have read the fine print. On top of all that, it doesn't work. Actual people who call you cannot reach you. A better option is turning off your phone. You don't receive any calls (scam or regular) exactly like what happens with robokiller but without the monthly subscription and extra charges on your phone..Version: 5.6.5

Scam....Be aware for this people , they are taking your phone number. This is against the piracy policy of canada . They don’t have to do anything with your phone number..Version: 5.7.6

It also blocks important callsI downloaded this app to try out during the election season with the robocalls intensively increasing. It worked and released some stress for about 2 days. Then I noticed a trend where it was sending the spam audio to people that were calling me for medical reasons, if I tried to circumvent the app and answer the call that I know wasn’t spam it would answer in the app and I couldn’t hear them and there was a delay in our conversation making it very confusing. I had to hang up on several calls and call them back. This was extremely stressful because it was all local calls for my family’s medical needs. I was expecting a call earlier this week and decided to follow up 5 days later and was told they tried calling me twice but it kept ringing and ringing and they couldn’t leave a voicemail. Thankfully I remembered, now I’m wondering what calls or important information I may have missed though. I also deleted and removed the app during a highly stressful day in which I was going back and forth with medical offices and doctors/pharmacies and the app was still taking over my phone. I’ve looked through my settings and I still can’t figure out what to do to make it stop. I’m impatiently waiting for the trial to end so my phone will go back to normal..Version: 5.6.1

Destroys your voicemailI cannot stress it enough to stay away from this app. Even if you try it out and don’t like it you can never get rid of it and it still forwards your calls and you have to get your phone company involved and it still doesn’t fix the problem..Version: 4.8.1

Garbage! Absolute junk!Spammers don’t reuse phone numbers. You can block the number but it doesn’t help because they use “ghosting” to with new novel numbers for new campaigns. The Robo-Killer app does nothing more for you than simply setting your phones settings to block everyone not in your contacts list! Don’t waste your money. The Robo-Killers support team is also entirely useless! They have no solutions because their App is useless!.Version: 23.10.0

This problems and trying to get help to fix are not worth the money paid foru itThis program was best under the original developers. Yes that is what I said. Now I cannot get in touch with a real live human being about an issue that makes or breaks the deal of paying $26. something a year. When I first signed up I think it was like three dollars. Now I can write a lengthy email explaining VERY SPECIFICALLY the problem and the resppnse I get back is like trying to write to a stupid computer, or, some foreign support who doesn’t “get it” what my problem is! This is the problem. I signed up with True talk USA ( about a 50% savings of what I paid Verizon ) so I could save myself some money because bills are hard to pay with job losses etc. The problem is: I am given a phone number already programmed into instructions for robokiller set up, AND ITS THE WRONG PHONE NUMBER to use with Pure Talk! My email ends with verizon, so someone probably thinks I am a nut case! So they send me a list of numbers to use when I find out from PURE TALK USA WHAT TRANSFER WIRES THEY USE. Ok I am told its AT&T. Good luck trying to put the correct number in... the one given cannot seem to be changed! So why did I bother to find out the company wires they use when in fact I cannot change it? Furthermore, why bother when the company is so reliant on computers and foreigners, that I cannot get any satisfaction regarding my issue? Apple, I want my 26 dollars back. Now..Version: 5.4.4

Garbage appDeleted app and it’s still on my phone taking my voicemail.Version: 5.7.4

Stopped working and seems unavailable in CanadaI’ve used this app for a couple of years with no issues. About a month ago I noticed it was not catching spam calls. Finally deleted and reinstalled but the only country options are the US, Brazil, Mexico, India and Malaysia. It does not show my phone carrier, Rogers. Completely useless now and I’m in the middle of an expensive subscription. No one has contacted one me in response to help requests. No longer would recommend this..Version: 23.10.0

PLEASE fix this app, VERY buggy and works half the timeBefore you read please know I really think this app is wonderful and has A LOT of potential; however, MANY things need to be fixed. This summer, I been getting literally 5-10 spam calls a day. Blocking didn’t work and I was desperate for a solution. This app seemed more than perfect and had many unique features to get pay back on the scammers. However, the app keep uninstalling itself (not off my phone) when it’s hooked to blocking in settings. It doesn’t block calls when it unhooks itself from my phone blocking and I have to constantly check it it’s still hooked up, or else NOTHING gets blocked. Even when it is all hooked up and running, it blocks only 2-3 of the 10+ spam calls I get in a day. This is with blocking over 30 numbers + blocking ranges, how many more numbers and rangers do I have to block for RoboKiller to process “these similar numbers are scammers, block them.” Then, to put the cherry on top, it keeps telling me “RoboKiller has stopped working, please uninstall the app from you phone and re-install.” I had to go through the process of setting up Robo killer all over again more than 5 times now. I also have texting options set and it hasn’t blocked one text in 3 weeks; I keep getting spam. With updating my phone the app still hasn’t improved. Please, find a way to fix these issues..Version: 4.8.7

CancellationThe steps to cancel your subscription are not straight forward or easy. You have made it complicated with instructions that don’t work. That is unethical marketing practices..Version: 5.7.12

No longer usefulI deleted RoboKiller today because of an over-zealous approach to managing calls. When I first got the app, known spam calls were blocked, calls from my contacts rang through with ID, and unknown numbers rang through so I could choose to answer or not. Recently this changed, so that all unknown numbers went to RoboKiller voicemail automatically, not even ringing once to alert me. This is a huge problem, because all businesses have a published number for customers, but outgoing calls are from unpublished numbers. I’m having surgery soon and every call from the hospital went to RoboKiller voicemail without ringing. I could call the hospital back, but when I left a message, the return call would go to voicemail. I tried to solve the issue first by making sure all the setting on my phone were correct (they were). Next I double-checked the settings on RoboKiller and ran their troubleshooting program. I read through their help pages. Then I looked for a support email or phone number and could not find one. I finally filled out their ‘report a bug’ page. It’s been a week and no one has contacted me. So goodbye RoboKiller. Time for a new app..Version: 22.06.17

Deactivation Is ImpossibleI downloaded this app because I was receiving so many spam calls. And it did help with the spam calls..... but blocked every single call that wasn’t on my contact list. Even numbers I’ve recently called, they blocked call backs from the same number. After missing many important medical calls, I decided to delete the app and cancel the subscription. Also, be mindful that if you call 911 and get disconnected, if the operator tries to call you back, Robokiller will block them. That’s dangerous! I tried calling my phone after deleting the app and canceling the subscription, but my calls were still being blocked. I went to their technical support and followed the instructions for deactivating but that just caused further issues. The only thing the deactivation did was stop the Robokiller voicemail response. All of my calls are still being sent directly to voicemail. I don’t even get the notification of an incoming call, or have the option to accept or deny a call. So I’m having to contact my phone carrier, AT&T, to try and fix the issue. Or worst case scenario I’ll have to get a new phone number. Spam calls are annoying, but this app is awful and needs major improvement! Difficulty canceling subscription, deactivating app, and they have no phone number to call for support; they just have an option to email and then have an automated chat..Version: 5.5.0

Do not download. Impossible to uninstallIt isn’t possible to uninstall/stop forwarding. Do not download.Version: 23.6.2

YET ANOTHER SCAM APPLE ALLOWS….CANCELLATION NIGHTMARE!!!!One year after attempting to cancel this trial subscription this company access my credit card and put through another charge. I never used the app and had it on my phone less than 2 days. The instructions to cancel under Apple subscription didn’t work correctly then and the company doesn’t respond to emails. So it’s going to be a fight with the credit card company yet again. In your best interest - DO NOT DOWNLOAD this fraudulent app!!!!!! Shame on Apple for allowing this fraudulent app to remain in the app store in Canada.Version: 23.9.1

I was just scammed out of all my money!!I wish I’d have read the last review! I did try to cancel, I thought it worked as the subscription did not appear on my Apple subscriptions or on PayPal. Then this morning they took $51.86 CAD from my PayPal it was the last of our grocery money for the month of July!! I tried to email and I called every contact phone number this company has and they are ALL OUT OF SERVICE!! I doubt very much that PayPal will be able to resolve this as Robokiller does not offer confirmation that you cancelled!! Do NOT download this app!! To the people who made and run this app: how can you do this to people? How do you live with yourselves after you scam them when you know full well what the world is going through right now?.Version: 5.7.13

Waste of money. Don’t buy.App claims to work, but you could get the same results with Apple’s built-in Silence Unknown Callers feature. 1: if using Standard Mode you get calls that are likely spam calls, so you hit decline and RoboKiller counts that as the app blocking the call. 2: if using Advanced Mode it requires Silence Unknown callers to be turned on, so you just never see any calls that aren’t in your contacts. No banner pop up show incoming calls, and call screening doesn’t work. Following a missed call that you actually wanted you‘ll just get a text that says Call Screening was unavailable. But hey, if you never get any calls, RoboKiller can just count that as blocking spam calls, even if you wanted them. 3: support is non existent. You send in a ticket and they just tell you to set the app back up. Basically they just tell you to run the Troubleshooting function. They also want you to turn off your carriers spam blocking functions, which fixes nothing. After you’ve gone through their steps that you coulda done just from the app or website, they’ve got nothing else and just ask you to do the same thing over and over. They eventually just stop replying to emails because that’s the only way to contact them. 4: even tho the app doesn’t work and they won’t help you, they don’t offer refunds..Version: 23.2.0

NOT FREE. Very misleadingIf it’s not free, then PLEASE BE UPFRONT about it instead of making me set everything up first. Waste of time. Don’t bother..Version: 23.9.1

Doesn’t workDoesn’t work! Still receiving scam calls from the same area, give my money back!.Version: 4.8.1

Doesn’t workI bought 1 yr. and have since cancelled my subscription so it can’t be renewed. I’ve had this software on my phone for a month now. Since I installed it I’ve been experiencing AN INCREASE in the number of scam calls. Today alone I received 3 foreign calls..Version: 4.6

Love it but...It blocks all of my calls. I misplaced my phone in the house one day. So I called my number from the home phone to listen for the ring tone. RoboKiller blocked the call even though my home phone is in my contacts list. I wonder how many legitimate calls it blocked. P.S. I did eventually find my phone..Version: 5.7.4

Do Not Get This App!Got this app about a year ago and boy it worked great did everything I needed it to do for my business and gave me relief from all the scammers and Robo calls out there! So I renewed it for another year's subscription and about two months in to that subscription they totally change the app in an update without me knowing. It totally sucked,what they did was pre-screened all my calls I had to leave my microphone on and customers,doctors, hospital appointments all had to leave messages with Robokiller.I ask RoboKiller what does listening to my phone calls have to do with blocking unwanted scam calls? Answer want to make sure your experience with us is a good one and we want to earn your trust by listening to your personal phone calls! (remember RoboKiller does not have any phone number you must contact them by email only you are totally at their mercy.) (tried there 24 hour chat helpline said it was a real person they lied it's a robot!) So what happened at the end here was Apple refused to refund my money or prorate my subscription and I had to go to my carrier to totally rid this app in my phone because they had turned on some things that I did not know about! What ever you do do not buy this app especially from Apple! (go to the Internet and look up why does Robokiller need to turn on microphone?) You Will be shocked!.Version: 5.4.1

Needs a setting to allow us to block ALL calls if wanted...It would be Nice if there was an option to set the call blocking up to where it blocks ALL calls not in our contact list. Lately a lot of the spammers have been getting past the auto blocking from just simply putting a plus (+) sign in front of the phone number. I have literally seen where the spammer will first try and call from a spoofed neighbor number where RoboKiller blocked it, and then they immediately try again right after but just simply putting a + sign in front of that exact same phone number and it gets past the call blocking. It would just be nice if we could opt to block ALL phone numbers that are not in our contact list! It is very unfortunate that the spammers have made this one of the only options to eliminate their harassment calls. Because there are times where I legitimately get calls from unknown numbers that are important such as from my daughter when she needs to use somebody else’s phone to call me. So that is why it would be nice to continue to get instant alerts for any voicemails that are left so that we know that it may have been an important phone call. Please fix this and make it an update and then it would be a five star app!.Version: 4.5.2

Use to be awesome - NOW a Junk AppEver since the recent update all calls are now delivered to your phone via data using VOIP. The call quality is horrible, and the call screening is not working properly. Every single call comes through VoIP via the App including the contacts that are in my phone book. This means I’m no longer getting notifications on my Apple Watch or other Apple devices for phone calls that I’m receiving. After each phone call the app is asks for you to complete a survey on the call quality. Obviously if they’re asking for feedback after every call they know that the quality is rancid. This recent upgrade is absolutely horrible. Only reason I can think of why they would push this junk update out to consumers is because it’s saving them money by delivering calls over data and not cellular. I wish I could get a refund on the year subscription that I paid for. This is not the original service that I paid for. This App received a ton of five star reviews when it first came out and would forward the calls to your phone via cellular service. I noticed that since this update most reviews are now only one star. It’s a shame that they had such an awesome app but now this is just another soon to be deleted app from my phone. I hope they consider bringing back the original service or at least give customers the option to receive calls over cellular service as a premium option..Version: 5.4.5

Scam appI installed this app thinking it was free. When I saw it required a subscription I deleted it. Unfortunately, one week later my iTunes account was charged $40.99 for a full year! I even did not use the app and will never use it! I do not know now how to be refund ! This app is a scam that earns money more easily than spam calls! I wished I could give 0 star!!! Too disgusted to get trapped!.Version: 4.8.2

Beware if in CanadaIt changes your greeting and seems impossible to deactivate. The support, email and chat supposed to be there but you will not get any answers there..Version: 4.5.2

Not Able To Activate!I have been trying off & on for about 6 weeks or so to activate this app to no avail. Every time I click on the activate button, it goes through the call process then shows that it’s attempting to activate then I finally get a message that “RoboKiller couldn’t be activated at this time.” It gives you the option to try again or to get help. Well the try again just takes me through the same nowhere process and the get help option opens up a blank screen with no options for anything. So, I have to go back and click “Try Again”. There is a support option in the top right corner of the screen, and when I click on that I get another window that gives me a chat box to click on. That opens up to something that looks like it’s opening up a page then finally get the message that says “Could Not Connect - Sorry we cant connect you right now. Please try again later.” One of the notes on the bottom of the page says to “make sure WiFi is turned off when activating.” I’ve done all of these things and am still not getting connected. I got my “free” trial period and now I’m a paying customer, but am NOT getting the service I’m paying for. I am NOT satisfied and unless the people or BOTS behind this app can help me, I DO NOT recommend it. There are a lot of good reviews, but unless something changes for me, I will not change how I feel about this app. This has been more than frustrating..Version: 4.4.2

Hasn’t worked right since new phoneRoboKiller used to work perfectly on my old iPhone 7, but since upgrading to an iPhone 13 Pro Max it has consistently been a massive headache. I don’t know if it’s the new phone or the latest version of iOS. I have given RoboKiller months to get things worked out and I just canceled my subscription. First of all the app constantly resets. Second, the setup number for my carrier will occasionally disappear forcing me to use the generic setup number. Third of all occasionally the setup will fail even though everything is turned on in my phones settings properly, this will then block all calls and prevent me from even seeing that there was an incoming call. Fourth sometimes the app will have wiped itself and I won’t know it which will also block all incoming calls and prevents me from seeing that there was an incoming call. On those last two points, RoboKiller has caused me to miss several important calls that I had assumed were never made. I am sure there is some other issues that I can’t even think of, but those are the major ones. Basically my only recourse was to deactivate, unsubscribe, and delete. I’d rather deal with the spam and other unwanted calls. Also this has its own voicemail box which supersedes the native iOS voicemail box. So if you save voicemails for whatever reason deleting and unsubscribing from this app will wipe those voicemails out..Version: 5.8.2

Could be better.I am not an app developer or anything, so maybe it is much more complicated than website development, but this app could use a few improvements. I installed it on my work phone because my number gets out there a lot. I have not had any problem with the app blocking calls, but once they get blocked I only get one chance to view the number. Sometimes it will let me tap the notification and call the number back, other times it just takes me to the apps Home Screen. I wish there was a call history on the app. Also I have not yet been able to access any voicemails that are left “through” the app. I contacted customer service and they said to upgrade the version to fix this. That did absolutely nothing. As someone else mentioned, my spam calls have increased dramatically, and ironically they have increased exponentially on my personal phone that does not have the app. I got 21 spam calls on my personal phone yesterday alone. Before downloading the app I would get 1-5 a day. Unfortunately this is my work phone so I get a lot of calls from clients who’s number I do not have saved. My only solution now is to turn RoboKiller off, but it will still silence or block calls, then I can not go back and access that phone number. Therefore I have to also go into my phone settings to deny the app permissions. It is mildly infuriating and I hope someday they add a call log to the app..Version: 23.6.1

On the fenceWhen I first downloaded this app about 2 months ago I was ecstatic! I did the week trial to make sure the app was something I wanted to pay for. This app was great and did exactly what it said it would do. I paid the yearly subscription for a product I believed did what I needed it too. And was perfect. Then the dreaded Verizon voice mail bug hit. Now, I know it was unexpected and not the fault of the app developers but I lost many voice mails. The only ones to get texted to me were from my husband. All the others just poof - disappeared. Once the fix was put in place there were many voicemails that showed up. I had 28 voice mails that were never texted to me. Some from my employer and even more from my husband which I thought were being sent by text. Now the “fix” is in place I have to go into the app to hear my voicemails, AND trust I’m getting every one. It’s frustrating that the app isn’t the same when I made the decision to pay the yearly subscription. Had I known in advance I would have done month to month and canceled. As it is I am debating deleting the app as I shouldn’t have to go into the app to hear my voice mails. And while I know they did what they could to fix it, and it’s still a great robo killer it’s just not what I paid for..Version: 3.2.0

Blocked only 2/14 numbers in first weekI downloaded this app because daily spam was ruining my life. The reviews were promising, but so far it doesn't seem to work at all. During the week long free trial, only 2 calls were blocked while I had to add 11 numbers to the blocked list! Then there was an unknown caller that I couldn't add to the block list at all! I have an iPhone, so I can't block unknown callers in my settings (Even my old windows phone could at least do that. One of infinite reasons not to buy an iPhone!!!!!) so I was really hoping this app would help. Update: since I thought adding all those numbers to the blocked list may improve the app, I kept the app past the free trial to see the results. . . The only call blocked so far was one I needed to hear from Verizon, while I'm still bombarded by Student loan forgiveness scammers daily. Ugh! Update 2: still have several unwanted calls a day. I'll get an unwanted call that has made it past RoboKiller and ignore or dismiss the call until I get the chance to manually add it to Robo's block list, but the app still sends me a notification claiming it blocked the call for me. Not true. The phone rang and I declined the call myself without your help. This kept happening from the same few numbers so I manually added them to the list and still the calls came through..Version: 3.3.0

Getting worse with every updateI started my subscription two years ago. I liked it at the beginning. I have a handyman business and get unknown calls every day. RoboKiller is ruining my business. If the number isn’t in my contacts, it thinks the calls are spam. But yet “Spam Call” and “Unknown Caller” calls come thru quite regularly. I am now forced to cancel my subscription and delete the app. I got tested for Covid. I was sent a text telling me I was positive but RoboKiller sent it to my junk file. I later missed a call from the health dept trying to reach me about the results and again RoboKiller silenced the call not allowing it to go through. If any call was considered important, this was the call and RoboKiller stopped it!!! I just updated the app yesterday and set it to the low setting. This setting is supposed to be more relaxed in allowing calls to come thru. RoboKiller is simply blocking almost every number not found in my contacts. Bye bye RoboKiller!!! Oh, I forgot. The health dept finally reached me. During the whole conversation our connection kept breaking up. It was bad. We finally managed to finish. When I hung up, RoboKiller sent a survey asking how the conversation was thru the app. I didn’t know my calls started to go thru the app. Well, it was horrible. Yet another reason to avoid the app..Version: 5.5.0

Criminally badI have missed countless voicemails because of this horrendous app. I guess the carrier or the iPhone doesn’t want to allow it to do its function so you have to use some kind of get a workaround calling some number and getting a confirmation. That failed to work many times, not to mention that their default trolling message will have you troll people who are legitimate colors because the filter is not great. It was even filtering numbers that were saved in my contacts! I change that to a less offensive greeting and told people they were marked as potential spam at least. Then when I unsubscribed and deleted it because it was consistently not working and hiding my voicemails in the void somewhere he steal my voicemails for another month until I googled it in dial*73 to deactivate it. It should absolutely tell you this is necessary when canceling or deleting the app. Then when I unsubscribed and deleted it because it was consistently not working and hiding my voicemails in the void somewhere he continue to steal my voicemails for another month until I googled it and dialed*73 to deactivate it. It should absolutely tell you this is necessary when canceling or deleting the app months of Lost voicemails including important business ones. Inexcusable! Take them off the app store.Version: 22.06.03

Doesn’t work in Canada!Apple should kick this app off the store! Absolutely criminal! They keep referring you to their website for help. And everything is related to American cell phone carriers. Absolute garbage. You should be ashamed you criminals!.Version: 5.7.6

Not for Canada!You really should not let Canadian users download and go all the way to payment, if this app is NOT usable with Canadian providers!! I don’t know how to get my money back now..Version: 5.7.15

Don’t waste your money!!These so-called spam call blockers are in fact spams!! They don’t work! Period!! Why should they?? You’d think spammers with all their talents sit and watch how their only source of income gets blocked?!! I usually get 2 or 3 spam calls. I thought pay for this app and see how it works! It does not! Just feel sorry for my stupidity wasting my money for 1 year subscription! It’s passed 30 days so no way I can ask for refund! Yes, I am patient to wait and hope this app would work after missing few spam calls but it failed blocking any of these spam calls which look like legit local numbers!! Be smarter than me, take advantage of my experience (which cost me $25+) and don’t even bother installing this app!!.Version: 4.8.2

Costly trial - awful experienceThis app was recommended as one of the best. My experience was the opposite. I’m in Canada and after 5 days realized that the app was not doing anything for me. So I deleted it within the free trial period. What I didn’t know - here’s the sneaky part - was that the app was dialling a US phone multiple times a day. And I was being charged for each call. At the end of November I got a bill for $40 of these calls. It shows up as ‘call forward’ on the bill. The calls continue every day even into December. I am being billed for these calls. There is no way to stop them. No way to contact the company. No instructions on what to do to stop these bills. This is simply atrocious. Unless I cancel my phone I will be paying for these calls in perpetuity. A very bad way of trying to win customers when your app makes sneaky long distance calls which can’t be stopped even after removing the app. Just terrible..Version: 5.6.6

DO NOT BUY!!! SCAMI downloaded this then I canceled after a day as it was blocking non spam calls. Despite canceling it is still blocking all types of incoming calls! This is a nightmare, I am missing work calls. Essentially anything not in your address book is blocked..Version: 22.05.02

Bad AppRobokiller can’t be deleted due to call forwarding function. To delete app, you must contact your carrier to ask them to reset your call forwarding. Who wants to do that in order to delete an app? The worst ever..Version: 5.7.7

Why Bother?No Canadian carriers, so no Canadian customers. Now I have to find out how to ditch this waste of my time!.Version: 4.6

Canadian Users BewareThis app has been an expensive irritation. It was unclear to me when I purchased it that it relied on call forwarding - and that call forwarding was not included in my cell plan. So I got charged a call forwarding fee for every spam call. All calls (even allowed callers) go to RoboKiller’s voice mail, not my provider’s voice mail. Theoretically you should be able to record your own outgoing message on RoboKiller, but it won’t let me do that. So people who are used to my voicemail are confused. And many times it sends known callers directly to that voicemail without letting me answer my phone. The support site has some helpful articles that suggest why this app won’t work with my carrier - but that is only clearly a problem after you pay your approx $50/yr for the app. There is no live support and the support page suggests that you will wait a week for a reply to emails. I cannot wait a week. The problems are too serious. I have to eat the $50, pay for my carrier’s call forwarding fee and now presumably will be tormented when I try to remove this invasive app from my phone. There is some script that you have to run to actually remove the components from your phone. And you have to select your carrier for that to work and since the app does not work well with my carrier, I anticipate the torment will continue. Worst app I have ever got suckered by. It is worse than a waste of money - it is actively making life worse. The 7 day trial was simply not long enough to recognize the defects of this app and its problematic interface with my carrier. I doubt that this App should be permitted on the Canadian App Store..Version: 5.7.9

ScamFirst of all the app doesn’t work in Ontario Also it doesn’t say it’s a Subscription app It says free free usually means you don’t subscribe and there’s no cost involved don’t even bother trying this program the company is a scam.Version: 4.5.2

RoboKiller: you’re doing false/fraudulent promotionIn Google Search, you show up as being a “FREE” app. However, scratch surface, carefully check reviews here...& see fine print: “7 day free trial, then autorenews at your regular rate. Google should de-list Robokiller—-as well as permanent “Buyer Beware” tag attached.Version: 5.4.5

SCAMMERS and buggy appGarbage app. Can’t even log in as I don’t get the sms verification code. Had it on my old phone which was helpful when it worked but changed phone and can’t use it anymore. Got charged for the subscription so now I’m having to go back Apple to get my money back. Update to your response : I did reach out to your support email and you never replied. It’s been a week..Version: 23.5.0

Takes all your info BEFORE paywallI gave it all my information and verified my account, then it reveals that it costs money to do anything..Version: 23.5.0

Great concept there are MAJOR glitchesWhen I first started using this app I thought it was great. However there are two MAJOR PROBLEMS: 1) If you are expecting an important call Robo Killer may block it. At first your response may be to pause the blocking ( this is supposed to be an option) however it didn’t work and I missed 5 service support calls because the app blocked them even though it was supposedly paused for 24 hours. In this case my phone never rang and all the calls were immediately sent to voicemail. This is after I told Robo Killer to allow those numbers! So I ended up with a bunch of voicemails saying they would try again, only to be silently blocked again! 2) the tech support for this app is abysmal! They use an answer bot which has limited responses and basically sends you in circles trying the same unsuccessful “ solution.” Eventually I had I resorted to the last and final solution- I canceled my subscription and deactivated my phone with their service. Since my subscription wasn’t due to expire until August 2020, I guess I’m out some $$. An expensive lesson. It’s sad that something that could have been great failed due to these glitches! Obviously the developers don’t care enough about their customers to provide any actual support. I’d give this ZERO STARTS if I could. 😡.Version: 4.9.3

Reduction in spam callsI had been receiving 2-8 telemarketer or robocalls a day. The Do Not Call Registry is pretty much useless, and just trying to duck these scammers and spammers is like walking through a minefield, thanks to their ability to use “neighbor spoofing.” As careful as I had been, I had called a couple contractors and was expecting a local call - and in came a couple calls that got me on their list - and the deluge began. So I signed up for RoboKiller. It has blocked some calls, has let some pass through, and is okay... I do think there was a “magic bullet” that a caller made, and RoboKiller played the “number disconnected” recording. When that one caller heard that, it sounded like he was saying, “what? Hm, uhh...” and next thing I knew, my call volume dropped dramatically - so, to be honest, it seemed like there was a database that a bunch of scammer-spammers were sharing, and once one of them got that message, my number was removed from the database, and all the callers accessing it stopped calling. Good! But since all that, I am still receiving several calls a week that slip through, about as many as RoboKiller blocks. I don’t think it’s RoboKiller’s weakness, nearly so much as the sophistication the scammer-spammers use to spoof a number that looks legit. Still, it’s not blocking the calls, and I am exploring for a better solution..Version: 4.0.0

I don’t like RoboKillerI need to know how to cancel my subscription or who to call. I do not want to be charged for a service that is answering important calls with the message I chose because I trusted it to work for all spam calls. Some spam calls are coming through. It does not appear to be able to always know who is spam & who is not. I see where I am supposed to be renewed April 2019 . I don’t want renewed at all. I don’t have any clear information on how to keep from being charged again. Updated: This blocked my moving company from contacting me Oct 2018, plus another business where a friend of mine works. Neither were able to contact me nor did they appreciate the message. It put stress on my move & had I not called the moving company, my move would have been cancelled that day. This caught a few spam calls, but RoboKiller really can’t tell when it is true spam or an important call much of the time. I hate the fact there is no customer service to contact by phone & you’re subscription will be automatically updated if you can’t unsubscribe or contact them to cancel it. I can’t delete it off my phone or following the instructions via computer because the program gives me messages that it did not work. I want my subscription cancelled I want this off of my phone with no error messages of how it is unable to uninstall.Version: 4.3

Not Free, Who Knew?I don’t normally write reviews for the apps I download, just the ones that have NO functionality without purchasing or if they have some sort of inherent flaw otherwise. I think this app could have been great. I’m just not willing to spend 30$ on something like this. IMO, it’s shady that any company doesn’t warn a consumer of their application’s complete inability to work without a payment. All I see before downloading this app (and giving out my phone number to a company I know nothing of besides what they themselves tell me) is that it has in-app purchases. Neither apple nor the company’s own advertising materials states that this app is not actually free. Indeed, when you open the application it tells you to input a phone number. This is to “confirm” your number. Only after this are you taken to a screen where you can purchase an annual plan for 30$. None of the functions work without a plan and instead of offering a “lite” version like many apps do, this just brings you straight to a subscription screen. I have now deleted this app - since I don’t have 30$ to waste on an app like this. But I wanted to warn anyone who may be considering downloading this. This application does not work AT ALL unless you give them 30$. I’m not going to comment on anything else, simply because I did not get a chance to use it..Version: 4.2.1

Call blockingDoes this app actually block the call from being received or does the incoming call go right to voicemail?.Version: 23.10.0

DOES NOT WORK WITH SPRINT!!!UPDATE — After I cancelled my subscription customer service admitted that with Sprint the app does not work. They also asked that positive reviews be posted on social media but negative reviews be emailed only to them. Um... no. People need to know that problems exist with this app. Original post: I heard about this app from and friend and was SO excited to try it out. Unfortunately, it’s been a headache for a month. All calls, including spam, are still ringing off the hook at all hours of the day. Also, my actual contacts are all being redirected to a RoboKiller voicemail instead of my personal voicemail on my phone. I have been in contact with customer service several times and they keep giving me new phone numbers to try to correctly install they app but none of them worked. Nor have they directly answered my question, “is this app supposed to filter calls so automated calls and spammers never or rarely actually ring through AND can the app allow my saved contacts and numbers I don’t have saved but are real people who need to reach me ring through and be directed to my personal voicemail if I can’t answer. I’ve been dealing with “Frank” and he seems nice but was utterly unhelpful. He did not respond to my latest inquiry. So to sum up, this app seemed like it would be just what I needed and wanted, but in the end it fell so short I would give it zero stars if I could, and it is not worth $5 to even try it out for a month..Version: 4.7

IneffectiveI really wanted this app to work for me. I get up to a dozen automated calls everyday, so when I came across RoboKiller and I read all these amazing reviews (which after trying the product I'm really wondering if they weren't mostly written by the company themselves trying to get people to use their crappy app) I thought my life was about to change. It did say that Robokiller learns over time, so I didn't expect it to block every spam call right from the get go. But after several months now of paying for a subscription, well over half of my spam calls still come through! I rarely answer the calls anymore because usually it's just a machine, so you can't even get the satisfaction of bullying the jerk on the other end of the line (another reason this app isn't that 'funny' to me like it's intended to be; you can't really prank a machine with a stupid answering machine). I notice that many of the unknown calls that still come through will pop up in the RoboKiller notifications after I let the phone stop ringing like they're taking credit for a call they didn't even block! Try the free trial if you want, but don't be dumb like me and pay months for a subscription that feels more like a scam than a service intended to block scams..Version: 3.6.2

App is a scamApp is a scam, forces you to enter your phone number before telling you that the app is not free and the cost is ridiculous. Deleted..Version: 5.6.6

Doesn’t work! No answer Bot!DO NOT DOWNLOAD!!! SCAM ALERT!! I deleted the app and went to the website but there’s no other option to cancel and a week later they charged me $46.32 Canadian!!!!! I originally wanted this app because of IRLRosie, love her lots, she said she was one of the answer bots and I really need an answer bot, but this app only allows me to add a number to a block list which my phone already does. Sadly these ROBOKILLER developers scammed me out of $46 and I still have to deal with the same scammers calling me with their burner numbers everyday. I’m thoroughly disappointed..Version: 4.8.5

Waste of timeIt only blocks it if you put the number in yourself, which you don’t need an app for as your phone is already equipped to do that ..Version: 4.7.1

Don’t Download7 days free trial. Then $25 /year. I didn’t even try it. Figured billed right after the 7 days, not worth the hassle. Don’t download this just use the block caller on your phone. You can do what this app. does. Plus you must forward your spam calls to the US and pay long distance fees. Total rip off!!!.Version: 5.8.1

A waste of space.How in f••k do I get rid of this POS?!?!.Version: 4.6

Don’t waste your time. DONT waste your money.This app is either something useful that is entirely overpriced, or something useless that is STAGGERINGLY overpriced, or simply a scam. I’m not sure which because I never made it through the activation - the privacy concerns are just too worrisome to justify using this at all. The app wants full access to your contacts, phone call metadata, voice mail, greetings, and SMS system - all of this with a privacy and data usage statement that is somewhere between useless and actually scary. And on top of all of that, the price is laughably outrageous - more than 20 dollars a month in a shady subscription system that looks to hoodwink users into paying and paying repeatedly. Three strikes and you’re out - don’t waste your time or (especially) your money..Version: 4.6

It works but...It was fun listening to a marketer talking to Samuel L Jackson for a full 1 minute but the app didn't work me. I live in Canada and some of these calls would get forwarded to an US number - these 2 features (call forwarding and long distance) are not included in my plan. I ended up paying and extra $30 for my last month's bill. Doing this every month just to zap telemarketers is not worth it to me. I have contacted apple for a refund..Version: 5.5.0

Did much more harm than goodI was getting a lot of spam texts and felt pretty desperate to get rid of them, so I downloaded a free trial of this. I would prefer something that just blocks texts, since I don’t care about or answer spam calls— I figure that’s what voicemail is for? It’s helped a little with my spam texts, so I added a star for that, but it’s only blocking some of them. I wouldn’t mind that if it weren’t blocking every single person who calls me and playing them this awful faux-nice message that tells them I’ve blocked their number. I’m doing volunteer calls from my phone, and it automatically blocked numbers who have tried to call me back. That makes me look really cruel to people I’m trying to help, and I hate that this app doesn’t at all consider the potential that some phone calls coming in from random numbers might be important. Outside of leaving no room for politeness, this app has completely destroyed my voicemail. I hate not knowing if I’ve missed anything important, or having any influence over what people hear when they try to call me, and I regret spending money on this. If I could turn off the call function entirely and just keep the spam text blocker, I would, but this is way, way too aggressive for me to recommend to anyone..Version: 5.4

HORRIBLE VoIP inbound call qualityThey are now forcing all inbound calls through their VoIP provider rather than through your own cell provider which in my case is Verizon. Terrible voice quality, delays, echoes, call drops, calls even from contacts going to VM which can be very dangerous like when my wife (yes, both in contacts and whitelisted) called me in an emergency and kept going to their terrible voicemail system. I understand the reason and in theory it’s good but they are killing the patient with the medication. Also your voice mails are now on their system not your cell provider. If you drop their service you lose any important saved VMs plus we won’t even go into the privacy issues. I’ve been with them since inception but had to give up my 1yr sub because the service has become horrible. Sometimes it pays to leave well enough alone. Sadly I have switched to another, not as good, option. Maybe if they get away from their horrible voip provider I’ll try again. Now I see they are advertising on TV and they will get even bigger and even worse. I find it’s better to have nothing than this. They really have gone bad over the years. Oh, and forget their support. Some guy called me to try and help (it didn’t) and gave me his return phone number which always goes to voicemail and messages never get returned. You win Robokiller, you got my $30 subscription and I get nothing. Too late to cancel..Version: 5.4.1

Doesn’t work in CanadaNo idea why this is in the Canadian App Store when it doesn’t support Canadian phone numbers. Tried anyway and it doesn’t work. It sends me the text but then says I must pick my provider and there’s no Canadian providers showing..Version: 23.9.0

Stay away from this app.The app only works to screw up your device. It does forward the spam calls but also captures legitimate calls. Then if you try to remove it it will trash your voicemail completely. It is NOT ready to be used with Canadian carriers..Version: 4.7

Not worth itThis app did nothing to stop scammers and spam calls. When it did work it blocked the calls I wanted. Don’t waste your money in getting this app..Version: 5.6.2

Don’t install from Canada!If you’re in Canada, do NOT install this. I’m at almost $100 in call forwarding charges, just to avoid spam calls. Some of the robot responses are funny, but if I knew it was going to cost extra I would never have installed it!.Version: 4.8.5

Needs major improvementUsed for approximately 6 weeks, and have just deleted from iPhone. All of my incoming calls were forwarded to a U.S. #. I’m in Canada. My cell bill costs increased due each of these forwarded calls attracted a charge. If the caller is not already in your contact list, calls forward to the RoboKiller voicemail. App “rebooted” itself at least 3 times, and each time, would require you to sign in again. Before you can access your account, you have to enter a verification code. First time app “rebooted”, it was about 10 days before I was able to get a code. There is an option to call for the code, however, the call gets intercepted by RoboKiller. I requested, and received, a full refund from Apple..Version: 5.5.1

What a nightmare 😡For the first year and a little more this app was wonderful. Completely stopped the spam calls. In recent months my friends and family we’re having problems getting their calls through to me. At first I thought it must be a problem with my phone but could not find any reason for the phone to be blocking the calls. Additionally I recently got a notification from RoboKiller of ability to analyze all incoming calls. I thought this might be a handy tool and so I activate it. Then I could not get any calls. All the calls were being blocked or sent straight to voicemail. this was not good. I tried to change back to the way it was working before this update and it could not be done I also finally connected the dots and realized it was Robo killer interfering with my other calls all along so since I could not fix it and I did not get very good assistance from the RoboKiller team I have deactivated the app however it just keeps going on screening calls blocking them sending them to voicemail I don’t know what I’m going to do I am hoping since I canceled the subscription which you can only cancel it based on the date that it renews so I am stuck with it until July 20 and I am hoping at that point it will finally die and go away. I don’t know what happened to this app I don’t know why it started performing like it did but it’s like an insidious virus that has infected my phone and there is no cure😤.Version: 5.4.1

Not satisfied.. and unable to removeI downloaded this app as I own a couple businesses and from doing several ads , receive regular telemarketers or robotic calls that interfere with my daily phone usage. Someone how I went to try it out for a couple days and for some reason the yearly amount was deducted from my bank account. Issue 1. After using for a couple days I realized this was nothing that was going to work for me as it blocked the right calls and several potential new customer calls as they weren’t saved in my contacts yet. Issue 2. Upon trying to see if my money could be refunded realized that was probably not going to happen so I tried to get used to the app again. This time was no different and actually I lost a lot of money missing new customers calls. I did the next thing I could think of and remove/uninstalled the app and chop the yearly amount up as a loss. But it didn’t end there, now barely any of my calls came through even ones that were programmed in my contacts giving the caller an “ unreachable/ unavailable at this time “ message and for me I would see in a text that “ ******* number tried reaching Robokiller without success “ . I went through all my apps and couldn’t find where Robokiller was still on my phone. I had to download it again and try to go into settings. Months later and I’m still dealing with this issue with no resolve. Please help.Version: 5.4.2
