WideProtect Spam Call Blocker for Negative User Reviews
✓ DO NOT BUT THIS APP, IT DOES NOT WORK!This App is a rip off. It does not work. I have hundreds of screenshot of calls that I blocked yet I keep getting more and more calls from countries and areas that are meant to be blocked. Hate it!.Version: 5.5
✓ Doesn’t workIt won’t open place itself in ‘call blocking & identification’ so I can’t make the app work. Frustrating waste of money..Version: 4.6
✓ Failed to enable the extensionI could not set the extension on my iPhone. Every time when I try to enable the extensions in the setting of iPhone, it failed. No reasons. Any idea how to solve this problem?.Version: 5.3
✓ Very buggyThe permission in call blocking are stuck on the wheel of death. Even after deleting the app, the wheels are still there causing phone to use 100% cpu, battery died in 20 min have to take my phone in to apple and they suggested to wipe all not restoring a backup. Nope..Version: 5.3
✓ Simply doesn’t workI have a company spamming me with the same telephone number pattern that I have set up to block but they get through every time..Version: 5.5
✓ Does not workWas working for a few weeks but for some reason it wont let me enable the extensions anymore. I keep getting an error message. Wrote to the support and followed instructionc but still wont enable..Version: 3.7
✓ App Won’t Boot UpThe app worked well upon initial set up. Now I can’t open the app to block additional numbers. Running the latest version of iOS..Version: 3.7
✓ Moved to SubscriptionAfter paying for this app, it moved to a Subscription model and removed my access to all features I previously paid for. The Developer offers a “free trial” if you previously paid for the app. I am not an expert, but I believe this may be against the App Store terms. Regardless, it’s a shame, but I am deleting this app and moving on. EDIT: If you paid for this app and also do not appreciate all features being removed unless you pay for a subscription, you may use the “Report a Problem” button and request a refund..Version: 6.0
✓ Does NOT work.Does NOT work. Free app but paid subscription inside.Version: 6.0.3
✓ Did workIt was great at the beginning but then won’t update and allow to block more numbers..Version: 5.3
✓ Can’t activate extension.I’m not seeing the app in the settings to activate the extensions. I just can’t use it!!!.Version: 5.6
✓ Does not totally blockOk app, still getting phone calls from something that i registered on line. No one can take me off the list, though is get this app to fix my issue. Getting less phone calls but still on a daily basis..Version: 5.5
✓ Bad productAnd take a lot of space GB on my cell.Version: 4.6
✓ It doesn’t worked, fakeI have more than 20 spam calls from NY , buy this app and try to block +1212 prefix , but still get calls from these numbers, if there is any option for refund, I ask for it.Version: 5.3
✓ Doesn’t workI get a spam call from a number with the same first 6 digits every day so was excited for this app. No matter what variation with country code and area code I try, the calls keep coming through. Can’t even email support to ask ask the “write email” link just tries to open the iOS mail app, which I don’t use. Disappointed..Version: 5.5
✓ Doesn’t work, poorly designedI’m just trying to block all calls from Congo, but this app won’t do. I’ve tried a few of these apps, and they all require you to enter your settings and enable them. For whatever reason, there are 20+ entries in settings for this app, when there should only be one. Enabling one of the entries causes my phone to overheat, and never actually enables it. Still getting calls from Congo. I got one as I was typing this. Wish I could get a refund.Version: 5.3
✓ Doesnt seem to workI received a few calls from somalia lately, so downloaded this app, setting it to block all numbers from somalia, a few hours later phone rang...from somalia and only the last 2 numbers were different (which should have been blocked cause I entered the country code and just the first number. So good idea, but at least in Canada on Koodo it doesnt seem to change anything. I think the phone companies will need to figure something out, or maybe Apple could include the option in the ios to block country codes....Version: 3.5
✓ What utter pointless rubbishThis software is a complete waste of time don’t waste yours installing it.Version: 6.0.6
✓ Doesn’t seem to work with ios14.1Can’t be enabled in settings. Save your money until it’s fixed..Version: 5.5
✓ Helps someThe app will only block 3 area codes. When the robo dialers change area codes I have to remove one area code from the blocked list in order to block the new area code. I live in Canada. Most of the robo calls I receive are via US arear codes. Canada and th US have the same country code. And I still end up with the robo calls on my voicemail..Version: 4.0
✓ Doesn’t actually block the calls, just prevents them from ringingNot all that useful to me since it does not prevent the neighbor spoofing calls from leaving a voice mail so in essence, it doesn’t actually block the call it just prevents the call from ringing. The deluge of voicemails fills up my VM storage very quickly and prevents others from leaving a VM. It looks like there’s now a mention of this at the bottom of the app description but I did not see it there when I purchased. I’m bummed to see the other comment about needing to disable DND to prevent these notifications because it’s not a feature I’m willing to disable, especially when I already getting hit w robocalls etc. I just reached out to support earlier today, it’s unlikely there’s anything misconfigured but if there is and it can be fixed, I’ll update my review. For now, even at the low cost, it’s just not worth it as it doesn’t truly block the calls..Version: 5.3
✓ Not workingI downloaded this and entered the country code and area code of the spam number and I’m still getting calls through! Anyone else getting calls from Suriname? So annoying.Version: 4.6
✓ Works most of the time.Always trusted the app but recently it seems to be having difficulty with blocking numbers. Tried blocking both with a zero at the start (+440203 56****) and without (+44203 56*****) but doesn’t seem to be working as iOS is still auto silencing the calls and giving me a notification. The country code is auto selected from the drop down so it would appear I’m doing things correctly but these numbers are still getting through. Happy to change to 5 stars if developer can offer a solution in case it’s something I’m doing wrong 🤷🏻♂️.Version: 5.8
✓ Purchased app, now subscription based…I get that there are costs associated with development, but it’s pretty greasy to buy an app outright and then decide to change the pricing model to subscription based…. I’ll be deleting this app!.Version: 6.0
✓ Doesn't seem to work with ios 15It used to be great but since I updated to 15 it doesn't block calls anymore. Please fix it for my sanity!.Version: 5.5
✓ Serious bugEvery time I update my address book I lose all functionality. Calls from known spammers (my first 6 digits happen). I have to delete the app, reinstall, set everything up from scratch, PLEASE FIX THIS! until you do should remove from App Store, it is seriously flawed, not worth $..Version: 5.5
✓ Use to be goodBeen using this app since June 2018 and its done the job - i think. I say that as there is no record kept in the app to tell you if it has blocked calls. It’s design is nice and simple and entering numbers is easy. Now after this update they have moved to a greedy subscription model. And ghey only gave me 3mths free.????????? DELETED.Version: 6.0
✓ App no longer worksAfter the latest iOS 14 update this app doesn’t work. Don’t pay for this. It was working well before but the developer hasn’t updated the app in over 6 months..Version: 5.5
✓ Wanted to block by country code-not easy!Had to pick country then it wants the start of a number. WHY? I already set the allow for contacts. Thought I could get through by entering an entry for each number starting with 1. So then it churns for a while and gives me an error. After I tap OK it warns me that I must change my Settings/Phone ... where there are more than 40 options that I have to turn on. TOO MUCH for me. DELETED😤.Version: 5.5
✓ BuggyAwfully buggy. If you try to add number with only 3 digits (area code only), it will take forever to create the block list. In the end, the app made my iPhone crash and I had to uninstall it. It drained my battery too. Got a refund, fortunately!.Version: 4.3
✓ Not all countries are includedI receive calls from +1829 and +1849 but they don’t exist in the list of countries!!.Version: 5.3
✓ Useless and terrible performanceIf you're trying to block a range of numbers from different countries this app is useless. The performance is so bad that even a new iPhone can't handle that. Don't spend your money on it.Version: 5.3
✓ This app doesn't stop all calls, please read my reviewUpdate: Still getting a few spam calls per week but Im more satisfied now-less spam calls recently. Reply to developer's response: When I disable WideProtect, spam calls from 857 prefix begins. When I enable WideProtect, I receive much less spam calls from 857, but I start getting much more spam calls from 800, 866, 833, 212 and more prefixes. I don't have any other blockers app on my iPhone. This clearly and obviously is a drawback/fault in your app. I don't know why/how this is happening, you're the pro. I'm using iOS 12.2 on iPhone 6S plus, and no, I dont want to upgrade my iOS. Original Review: I stopped receiving calls starting with the 3-number I entered for a couple of days. Then after a few days I started getting spam calls not from that 3-number that I blocked, but also from many other phone numbers from other states. This app is definitely a scam, be aware. I removed the extensions and Im asking for a refund..Version: 4.4.1
✓ Cant block whole country codesVery disappointed.Version: 5.5
✓ No longer workingNo longer working. All have been activate but the block of numbers that I have blocked via the app still come through..Version: 5.5
✓ Not goodThe criminals use so many different phone numbers the app becomes almost useless. You have to block millions of numbers from each country so that after blocking a few of these countries your blocking limit is all used up..Version: 5.5
✓ Messed up call blockingThis app made a big mess and it appears i have to wipe and reset phone. Even after removing the app there are dozens of entries called wideprotect under call identification that cannot be remove. Thanks for the mess!!.Version: 5.6
✓ Repeatedly froze on setup, had to restart 3 timesJust wasted my evening trying to set this up and it doesn’t work; stuck on loading extensions for hours only to receive an error message. Tried to delete the app but had to restart 3 times to do it and since then the SMS messages app keeps coming up with a ! and won’t load. Please don’t waste your time on this like I did..Version: 3.7
✓ No workingI am still receiving calls that is suppose to be block.Version: 3.7
✓ Used to work perfectly.Until the last Apple iOS update. I noticed it was turned off and went I tried to turn it back on it just spins for about 20 seconds and then pops up and error message “error enabling...” and refuses to load. Hopefully will be fixed soon. I tried some alternatives like Simple Call Block and it’s broken too. YouMail and RoboKiller both broke but were fixed by my deleting the app, reboot the phone and reload the app. So pretty sure it’s the iOS update that broke it..Version: 4.2
✓ Not effectively blocking international spamWideProtect was doing a great job for many months but recently noticed that the prefixes I have blocked are sneaking through and the newest spam attack from random international numbers are getting through as well despite blocking those countries and nuisance prefixes. Disappointed..Version: 3.4.1
✓ Not workingHad WideProtect -1 enabled Number still came thru Will change rating once problem solved.Version: 5.3
✓ Don't wast your moneyI. use iPhone 12 pro with the latest update and this program doesn't work properly. I loose money on this cr4p..Version: 5.5
✓ When it works it's okay, but ...Yes it blocks effectively. However, reloading extensions takes absolute ages, as in hours and hours. Often doesn't complete and tells me I should restart reloading again. Mostly I just give up. I am actively looking for an alternative..Version: 3.8
✓ Doesn’t workI got this app to block 0843 numbers in the UK. That’s it’s only job. I still get 0843 calls..Version: 5.6
✓ Pretty hackyYou pay for the app and it comes with an ugly nag screen about some puzzle game. Adding numbers takes forever since the dev is working around some limitations with IOS. If you’re desperate, this might work for you. However, spammers / robocallers are constantly using different numbers, so this is essentially useless..Version: 4.6
✓ App does not workI bought the app yesterday. So far, so good... Today I cannot open the app! Pls fix it!.Version: 5.3
✓ Not working..Just bought the app... and I followed instructions properly... and IM STILL GETTING SPAM CALLS😡.Version: 3.8
✓ Delete this from the App StoreIt doesn’t work waste of time. Sep 2022 ios15.Version: 5.9
✓ Blocked numbers can still go thruI followed all the instructions but it turns out the blocked numbers starting with certain numbers can still go thru. I want my money back..Version: 5.5
✓ I won’t be updating to the new subscription modelThank you for your support for all of these years. I will not be updating to the app under the new subscription model. Five stars for the purchased version, two stars for the subscription model. thanks for the memories! The developer needs to update the app description -the description currently states that there is no subscription but later in the description there is a subscription charge. The developer should take a few minutes to read and review his own app description..Version: 6.0
✓ Spam calls from international numbersApp has worked really good, I was having numerous calls from area +224, throughout the night luckily phone was on silent, installed this app and it has worked, had one call from area +355 added it to the app no calls since would recommend.Version: 4.6
✓ The worst app everThe worst app ever does not work with iPhone after paying £2.99😡😡.Version: 5.5
✓ USELESS!!!I bought this hoping if be able to block calls. I followed the instructions by going into settings and allowing the app to block calls and the spinning thing is still spinning next to each of the extensions I activated. I even restarted my phone and the spinning thing is still spinning!!!!! Another few pounds wasted..Version: 4.4
✓ Frustrated and doesn’t workI want to block and area, I falsely read on the internet this app would allow that. It doesn’t work or is not intuitive. This app imo is horrible..Version: 5.3
✓ Deeply disappointedSays will block numbers based on first three digits. Sounds good until you realise this is in addition to the country code. So functionality useless above what you can do already..Version: 4.1
