WideProtect Spam Call Blocker for Positive User Reviews
✓ It saved me!Get this app if you are getting constant calls from the same exchange. My phone rang constantly one after another with scam calls. So much so I had to just turn off my phone. My phone carrier I would have to change my number. This app worked instantly once I set it up correctly. Do yourself a favor and watch the developers video in the help section. It is so simple to set up once you follow his instructions in the video. Yes it works 100% but you have to follow the instructions to the t..Version: 5.5
✓ Call blockingSet this up to block all calls from UK London and works brilliantly..Version: 6.5.0
✓ Love it so far!When nothing else works, this is a last resort (or perhaps best resort, depending how you look at it). I have been getting lots of calls from the same prefix, and other apps fail miserably. Got 9 calls yesterday all from the same prefix - so I got this app and so far the day has been silent. Feature request: would be super cool to know how many calls have been blocked over time, but just a nice to have..Version: 4.2
✓ Blocks calls automatically!Update...So I’ve had it for around a month now and not one damn call! Still very happy! This app is brilliant! After installing it a week ago, I’ve had not one call from any overseas Robo calls or the like. I’m so happy and have my sanity back. I’m from Australia & was getting calls from 6am through to 11pm. Download the app!!! You will be thankful!.Version: 4.6
✓ Seems to be workingHad a slow/rough start which was probably my fault. Developer responded to my negative review with instructions to reach help. Thank you. After adding a bunch of filter words, unwanted messages started showing up in the junk folder. I still don't understand blocking entire area codes. But for now, I am okay with Wideprotect and anticipate as a little time goes by that I will receive fewer and fewer unwanted calls and texts..Version: 4.4.1
✓ So simpleI spent an hour and a half being spam called every few minutes by scammers harassing me on a prefixed set of numbers - took a min to setup the numbers to block, and I haven’t been bothered since. Virgin mobile’s solution was to change my number - glad I didn’t do that 😛 Lifesaver 😁.Version: 5.9
✓ This is the BEST!!!!!!!I had been receiving up to 4 spam phone calls every day 2 of them being phishing type calls. (Always using the first 6 numbers of my own phone number!) I had tried EVERY app available but still received these annoying calls! Then I discovered Wide Protect. This app has literally changed my life! No more stress from constantly receiving the annoying phishing calls and all other spam calls I would receive. If I receive a new one I can instantly stop that call from ever happing again with this app. Their support is also amazing. I had questions when I first purchased it and received help within 24 hrs. I HIGHLY recommend this app! It’s the BEST one to have!.Version: 3.8
✓ Works great! Developer very responsive.My area code/prefix spoofed calls went from twenty a day to zero as soon I set up the app by following the instructions. When a recent iOS update caused it not to work, I contacted the developer and they responded within a half hour with clear instructions to remedy the problem. I couldn’t even get my own web developers to respond that quickly when I was a PM. Great job. Sanity restored..Version: 5.5
✓ Block numbers using wildcardsI got this specifically to block numbers in a certain range. Someone on stackoverflow posted this app and I decided to try it. Works perfect, I’m able to block numbers that start with certain digits. I got tired of spam calls all coming from numbers that start with the same six digits - at six in the morning no less. One note, I don’t have my voice mail turned on. Others say blocked numbers are still able to leave voice mail if you have it enabled..Version: 3.5
✓ Tried them all!I gave 3 stars but I’m not sure about that rating. I have used this app for over a year, it has worked well to block spoofed numbers. But over the last few months, I’ve been getting over 40 calls per day. So I tried deleting and updating the app. Still got 40+ calls per day. Tried deleting again and each time I deleted, I got only 20+ calls per day. When I installed again, it doubled. So, I’m confused about why, when I install it, I get twice as many calls. Also, I starting getting calls from numbers that were blocked, while the app was installed. It seems as if the auto dialers are aware when I have the app installed and then proceed to increase the attempts from spoofed ( nationwide NPA/NXXs) numbers. Even after I blocked 11 million numbers based on multiple NPA/NXXs..Version: 5.5
✓ It actually works!!I have tried so many spam call blockers and none of them did what I wanted; which was block entire zip codes. I was skeptical that wide protect would actually work, and it does, quite well. No more neighborhood spoof calls and no more obscure towns like wibley, Kansas calling me. Zip codes blocked!!! When they get hip to the block and call from another zip; I block it too!!! Only downside is that all those numbers add up quick when blocking entire zips, you get a max of 30,000,000, I think. Sounds like a lot, but if you use it as I have, that will cap off pretty quickly. Otherwise, I would give this app 6 stars if I could !!! Thank you Devs of wide protect !!!!.Version: 3.6.1
✓ The best App you will ever pay for...Stops the Insanity of spam calls. I am wowed about how great this app works. After setting it up and adding a few extensions 98% of the calls immediately stopped. Got a few more calls from some new extensions, added of those and never heard from them again. This works like a charm, spamming calls have gotten out of control and this is the only great solution. Thx!.Version: 4.2
✓ Spam CallsI had been having numerous spam calls for weeks & various countries and have tried various apps that don’t have the caller block like this APP its awesome highly recommend!!! D.Version: 6.4.0
✓ Works perfectly!All scam calls from a particular country have been blocked!!.Version: 5.5
✓ Excellent for SMS blockingEasily blocks all of the dozens of Flubot scams every day. Unfortunately, Apple do not allow wildcard call blocking, so the developer had to resort to blocking number ranges by automating entries for every number in a specified range. This is slow, and limits how many can be blocked. It is impossible to block a whole country like India for instance. I hope that Apple will allow what we have all wanted for a long time. Also hope they allow the app on the M1 macs soon..Version: 5.5
✓ Before, got 15 robo wildcard calls in 30 minutes...I downloaded this in desperation after getting over 15 calls with my same first 6 phone number digits (wildcard calls) and was so frustrated and angry... now all is quiet. You may have to delete and reinstall the app if your phone won’t let you change call blocking settings..Version: 5.5
✓ Simple and EffectiveThis app paid for itself in terms of peace of mind on the first day I installed it. Thank you for creating this! I was getting calls every single hour during the day, and I accidentally called one of the spammers when trying to copy the phone number and overnight they began calling every 15 minutes... until I I found this! Since installing this I’ve only had one call that slipped through the filters that I created, and that was quickly addressed by just expanding my criteria to have one more wild card digit..Version: 3.6.1
✓ I can finally block Burundi and SeychellesI bought this app because my carrier (Koodo) is useless with dealing with the one ring scam. I get multiple calls each day from Burundi and Seychelles and I hope that with this app I can finally block them all. Based on my testing with a spoofed number, the blocking does in fact work. How it plays with future robocalls we’ll have to see..Version: 3.8
✓ Stopped Robot Calls InstantlyFabulous, Marvellous, Anxiety Reducing. Couldn’t say enough good things about this App. Dropped from average 3 robot calls a day to none. I was charged by Telstra $2.56 for 00.01 seconds when I accidentally tapped (& immediately cancelled) a missed call from Burundi, Africa. Robot Call Spam - this App blocks 50,000,000 numbers by inputting the international code & eg:first 4 digits. The App recorded over 75,201,010 numbers & blocks the first 50 million. Amazing. I’d pay again for another 50 million no worries at all so I can add the National robo calls as well. Thank you Developers🙏.Version: 4.4.1
✓ You one star people...I have to guess that maybe you are forgetting to let app reload extensions as it directs you to at top and by overlooking that, you think it has stopped working but you have maybe overlooked one of the two things the user must do to allow the app to do the job you direct it to. If you see this... and realize this, hopefully you give the app credit and appropriate rating because this app needs to stick around - it let me allow my phone to ring again when i get a call - prior to this i was forced to keep it silent which led to additional annoyance (beyond robo-stalkers themselves and their invasion) of phone tag or missing calls in general that i would like to have had opportunity to answer which robo-scum out there just impossible, i had to silence phone always..Version: 4.0
✓ Thank youI’m so happy that this exists, for years I’ve been hounded with robocalls and had reached the point where I was about to change my phone number when I stumbled on this and now… silent bliss.Version: 5.8
✓ Going Nucular on the Robocall WarThe peace of mind I get from up to 9 robocalls per day is priceless. I used Hiya which did nothing for me and wanted access to my contacts... Changing my cell phone was not a viable option for me. This app for a fixed price is just gold.Version: 4.1
✓ Sanity Saving AppFor the last number of weeks I have been bombarded with 30-40 single ring calls supposedly from Switzerland, Bosnia, Portugal and Kosovo. While I’m well aware these numbers are scam calls designed to get you ringing back on premium numbers, it is very easy to dial them by accident. The iPhone and indeed Apple are pretty apathetic when it comes to trying to stop them and the best they can muster is a “Silence all Calls” option, which, is next to useless as you still get the calls and it just stops the calls ringing. After trying TrueCall and Hiya which are decent enough apps but do little to prevent these calls I came across WideProtect. This allows you to block calls from various international locations using their dialling code. I have only set this up today but so far fingers crossed not a single call since it was installed. If there was one criticism however I would say the set up and use guide show be put front and centre as part of the initial install. It’s not hard to do but it is things that need to be done in order to get it to work correctly. All in all well worth the money spent. Just wish I had found it weeks ago..Version: 5.3
✓ Thankyou so muchI just have to say a big Thankyou to the dev. I was getting so many international scam calls it was untrue.I tried a couple of the free apps and they just didn’t work for me at all, I was about to change my phone number but stumbled over this app first. I was very sceptical as the free apps didn’t work but as long as this is set up properly it’s fantastic. So thank you so much I no longer have to remember to put my phone into plane mode at night..Version: 3.8
✓ Impressive App.Delighted to have discovered this app after listening to advice from ThioJoe’s youtube channel. In recent weeks, was having a huge increase in unwanted callers. Even though the calls are silenced, they are still visible as a missed call. Well this app has nullified them. Only one last week, and immediately updated the prefixes. Being patient is key when updating prefixes, that can potentially involve millions of phone numbers. This app has worked well for me. Many thanks to the Developer..Version: 4.9
✓ 24 Hours LaterWhat can I say. This app has made a world of difference. I had a paid subscription to another app that didn’t block much. I was still receiving spam texts and robo calls. I purchased and downloaded this app yesterday after receiving several spam texts. Boom!! Nothing! No calls! No texts!! I love that this app allows you to put phrases in to block texts. Love! Love! Love!!.Version: 4.4.1
✓ A Perfect SolutionI’ve been plagued for years by robocalls. This app was able to stop them completely. Easy to use and effective. Just learned of being able to block SMS by keyword and I am so excited. I get spam texts addresses to another name all the time. I have just added that name to the SMS block list. I’m hoping this works as well as the phone calls!.Version: 5.3
✓ GoodThe only solution I found so far to block specific countries. Works well ! I'd like to have the app that does the other way around: allows only my preferred countries !.Version: 4.0
✓ Unique Outstanding Design App!I would really like to take a moment to talk about this Unique App. The Developer has put a great deal of Time hard work and a little love into this app! The software looks simple for you myself and our family, but trust me it’s not! The coding of this software takes a great deal of time like I said before to protect you myself and our family from people who invented the words Scam Fraud and Telemarketing Robo calls! They want our money, and our Identity the Developer has put this app out here for a protection system way to stop those calls! The Scam people change their number as fast as the Developer stops them !! But I believe the Developer is on top of them by the many updates that are being made and the fact the app works! I truly thank the Developer and Tip my Hat to Him. I hope if you read this you will download this app and give it a try! I don’t believe you will be sorry! ( really ) well time for this ole Body to move on “ so they say “ but one more time Thanks Mr. Developer for a great outstanding unique app and caring about all of us! You truly are a unique person! Thanks.Version: 5.5
✓ Simple and effectiveThis app was easy to set up, thanks to the personal intro video by the developer. It instantly eliminated all spam calls that had spoofed my area code and first three digits, which was 95% of my problem. Yet it will pass any number in my contacts. One time low fee. Perfect..Version: 5.6
✓ I will miss you duct cleaning sales people.The only downside to this app is that I no longer get to practice my Hindi on the men who frequently call me to sell duct cleaning services. Overall my productivity has improved as a result. So 5 stars..Version: 4.6
✓ WorksTo me has been working great. On iOS 14 the options did not appear. Not sure why. Restarted the phone and then magically they appeared. I use it for my kid and my own phone, specially these days with all the CRA and Rcmp kind of annoying calls. I have blocked also all the numbers from 1-800 and 1-877.Version: 5.5
✓ Simple and works wellUnfortunately it has no way to block whole country codes without using up the 70mil limit, but I guess thats an iOS limitation. Otherwise it works as advertised..Version: 5.1
✓ It Works!I’m on an iPhone 13 Pro Max. I was getting daily spam calls and robo calls. And even spam porn email text messages. I tried so many spam blockers. Even the really popular ones. They don’t work or cover both calls and email texts. Thought I would give this app a try. It works! For text messages you just type in or copy and paste the messages into the app and it stops any texts with similar words from coming through. And now I have gone days without getting one spam call. I will block entire area codes where most were coming from. If I don’t know anyone or have family in that area no need to allow calls from that area. So they get blocked. You have to follow directions in the app. Allow permissions for this app in your phone settings. And make sure you turn on permission for your contacts in the app so none get blocked. I really don’t understand how it’s not working for some users if they follow directions and give all the permissions within the phone settings. It a long list of permissions but every one needs to be turned on..Version: 5.6
✓ Solved a frustrating problem for me!I have been wishing for years that I could block all calls from my same phone exchange unless they were in my contacts. Why couldn't my phone company do this for me? Well, Wide Protect does it. No more spoofing calls. Also great that my husband can share my purchase and have it on his phone, too. It's simple to use, not flashy, but does the job. I will recommend this to all my friends..Version: 4.2
✓ Updated review After getting it working properlyI think I got it working! Review updated. I’m pretty sure because I had to edit total number of digits for each corresponding country.Version: 3.8
✓ Saved my sanitySimple app that does what it says in the tin..Version: 3.0
✓ Perfect!!!This does exactly what it is supposed to do and very easy to use. If only it could block 1 TRILLION numbers!!!.Version: 5.5
✓ Highly recommendedAfter trying several of these spam call blockers, WideProtect was my favorite. Simple to use and you’re also given the option to block text messages with certain key words. This feature is quite handy with political robo ads around election season. The developer is extremely helpful when I needed App support..Version: 5.3
✓ Actually works. Robot protection.The robocalls were out of control. Two, three times a day the robots would call. Did I want to redeem my reward points? No. Did I want a better auto insurance rate? Go away! Could I give them my social security number to prove I had paid off non-existent IRS debts? Argh! I had to reclaim my phone. I considered changing phone numbers. That would show them! But these are robots. They are inherently smarter. Capable of placing unlimited calls from any imaginable callback number. At first I tried blocking them all. But the math was against me. With 10,000 phone numbers with my same prefix, what could I do?? I turned to the web, where I found fellow humans with the same problem. Reading their reviews of this app I was convinced that this was truly a defense against the robocalls. It occurred to me that the app could be a plot deployed by the robots to get me only further ensnared in their trap. But the reviews seemed genuine, laced with nihilistic humor only humans would understand. But the app seemed too good to be true. $3 for a lifetime protection from robocalls? I figured it was worth the risk. Now, two weeks into my purchase and I couldn’t be happier. The calls are as if they never happen. I track my calls in the att call protect app, so I can see that the robots are trying. But this app does its job. The calls are screened without my being aware of them at all. We are safe, in part, from the robots. Thank you developers..Version: 4.2
✓ WideProtectBeen getting hammered by the Wangiri callers, installed this app added the prefixes for calling countries activated the required extensions... WOW calls stopped. Thank you 👍🏻👍🏻.Version: 4.4.1
✓ Money well spent!I’ve had this on my iPhone for over 2 years now. In the beginning I had to learn how to use this app properly. Read the instructions. I went from getting dozens of annoying calls a day to about 2 a month. I just need to keep it updated more often to keep those away. Definitely worth the few bucks! I want to thank the developers for helping me keep my sanity. After blocking 50,000,000 numbers I’m a happy guy..Version: 4.6
✓ Works on my iOS 15.2I’ve just downloaded this. Very simple user interface and does exactly what it is supposed to do. It didn’t work initially because I had specified the incorrect value for ‘Length of complete phone number’. I’m supposed to count the length of the phone number excluding the first 0. So for UK users, this would normally be 10. Not a big deal but would be good if this was a little more clearer in the hints. But otherwise, it’s a fantastic app! Thank you!.Version: 5.5
✓ It Was Time (updated)The day I got 7 spoofed local calls within an hour, I knew I had to do something. I downloaded this app and added the offending prefix, and BAM!! the spoofers no longer bother me. Also, I kept getting spam text messages for the previous owner of my phone number, now I have blocked all messages that contain “Kecia” in them. This app gives me peace and serenity! UPDATE: Been using this app about 8 months now. It works great, as the spoof calls have diminished by 95%. It even successfully has blocked 4 prefixes from Iran and Russia that were annoying me! Also important to note, is that somehow my white list got corrupted (turned off phone before it finished update). I downloaded the app, was NOT charged again, and the app even adds new prefixes faster than before!! BRAVO, could not be happier!.Version: 4.2
✓ AmazingI was being spoofed called every minute from a mobile number with the same first 6 digits, did you know the max amount of missed calls an iPhone can receive is 200? I was very close to changing my number until I found this app. So far it has worked perfectly. Highly recommend..Version: 4.2
✓ Great app5 star product. Stop very annoying calls. Being using for 3 years now..Version: 5.6
✓ Works great!I was receiving an insane volume of scam calls — all spoofing my phone’s area code + the three number prefix. This app stopped the problem immediately. Super easy and straightforward to use. Highly recommended!.Version: 3.6
✓ Repost: Works!I hope I can get a refund for this app. I wish they had a trial version where you could make sure that the app works first before purchasing it. I contacted the support as well but they didn’t seem to be able to fix the issue! Repost: After a few trial and error and activating and deactivating the filters it actually works now!!!!.Version: 4.2
✓ Finally a working spam call blockerThis was my 4th app I tried to block scam called from 0843-0845 range of number I got 3-4 times a week. I added both ranges to block and have not received any calls from these so far. Thanks!.Version: 6.1.0
✓ It’s nice to have access to quality products!I recently purchased this app based on a post I saw in a forum somewhere. I am a very skeptical person by nature. I read the reviews for your product and was surprised to see how many positive reviews and how well the customer service seemed. I purchased the app a week or so ago and I haven’t received any telemarketer calls! I want to say thank you because this app has given me a piece of mind that was severely lacking last week! I definitely recommend this to anyone in need..Version: 4.2
✓ Unable to modify/delete one particular WideProtect lineWhen my phone was blocking calls from my wife, I tried trial&error method to identify which of the several WideProtect line items was not recognized my contact and was blocking my important contact - my wife. Finally, after several hours of tech support by Apple & Xfinity, I changed the SIM card. But even that didn’t help. At that time, the only choice was to scratch my brain and find the solution. Thus, I could identify exactly which of the several line items of WideProtect was causing the problem. But, thereafter, I couldn’t delete that particular line (WideProtect-1)..Version: 4.9
✓ Great customer service response but never workedNever worked on my iPhone XS. Got very timely replies to my emails, but program never appeared in the Phone setup. Completely cleared phone and reinstalled using iTunes, and never worked. Great response but $3.00 flushed. UPDATE: After having the developer work with me, this app is working perfectly. Problem was with a database for another blocker that became corrupted, and thanks to Apple, it could not be cleaned up or removed and it took a complete system reset to fix that and then WideProtect installed correctly. My problem, not the developer’s..Version: 5.5
✓ Thank you, total lifesaverI never rate apps, but this one deserves it. I was getting several spoofed calls a day from area codes that are in the state my phone number is from despite using other apps, like ATT’s CallProtect, which only sort of slowed down the deluge. This app stopped them - I was able to look up the area codes from that state and selectively block almost every number not in my contact list, while leaving the phone numbers from everywhere else in the US alone. I needed this feature because I do get a lot of legitimate calls from area codes in other parts of the US, e.g., the state I live in now, and blocking everyone not in my contact list isn’t feasible. This probably isn’t the solution for people who get a lot of legitimate calls from their own and nearby area codes, unfortunately, but it’s made a huge difference to me. Thank you!.Version: 5.6
✓ Wish I’d known about this app soonerI used to get 10 or more spam calls per day. Sometimes 30. I started using this app to block 10k numbers at a time, made an impact but didn’t solve the problem completely. I’m now blocking entire area codes, 10mil at a time. Including my own city. Spam calls are down to 2 a day. Only problem - I’ve exceed the capacity of the app so now I’m cycling area codes. That’s a pain because it takes an age to update all 25 lists. If you could double the limit I think I could finally end the span calls..Version: 4.6
✓ It just works hardly any annoying call centresLike most thought it wouldn’t work but it sure seems to very few annoying call centre type calls trying to sell me something or options guys trying to con me. Was slow to update block settings on my iPhone 6 way faster on my new iPhone XS Cliff.Version: 4.9
✓ Update extensions through appIs there a way to a) type in country code to add it instead of scrolling through every country b) update call blocking extensions automatically through the app or UI without having to remember to manually do it in settings each time ?.Version: 5.3
✓ LIFE HACK APP!!Love this app!! Soo many blocking apps out there.. I was getting out of country and international calls in the middle of the night 10-30 a day .... I had to mute my phone and in sales that never helps increase sales ... called Verizon and they say sorry.. GET THIS APP... .. you get a call from Bosnia or Lativia or Malaysia ... you block the whole freaking country! If we can figure out a way to block anonymous callers you’ll have my subscription too!!.Version: 4.3
✓ It works.Simple and effective for all the headaches it gets rid of.Version: 5.9
✓ Absolutely EssentialThis is the only app review I’ll probably ever take the time to write, but I just had to give major props to WideProtect. I was getting multiple spam calls a day, always spoofing a number similar to my own, and it was driving me absolutely insane. Since setting up WideProtect, this has been instantly reduced to maybe one spam call making it through every couple of weeks (which iOS is able to identify as a scam since it’s not spoofing). I’m pretty sure this simple, yet master fully implemented app has actually lowered my blood pressure. Thanks for creating this fantastic call blocker..Version: 3.8
✓ Finally an app that worksFinally, I can put an end to the plague of spam calls at one stroke. Having been plagued for months by the constant and insidious 0845 and 0843 spam calls, I can now use my phone without having to check if it’s them again. IT WORKS ..... to a point, If you have your voicemail turned off.... If you leave voicemail turned ON, blocked calls are diverted to voice mail, I Believe that is more to do with IOS rather than the app. Perhaps the developer can offer a work around Thank you for your app. Keep up the good work . UPDATE 4weeks on: Just an update on how successful this app has been in blocking missed call scam - it has been so effectively that the scammers have stopped targeting my number from one group of prefixes. However, it appears they are now trying to use different prefixes to avoid going to voice mail. Not a problem just added the new prefix, will see how their automated plague response..... Many thanks. Update 16/12/19 Still working well, and blocking a few prefixes, many thanks Update iOS 13.7 Still works fine just re enabled on new iPhone 7 running iOS 13.7 Many thanks..Version: 5.3
✓ What good is a spam message blocker if ......It still sends it through to both my IWatch and IPAD? Message blocking is the prime reason I am trying to use this and it doesn’t really seem to block anything. Sure, it moves it off to junk on my phone but I still get it every where else. Thank you to the developer for responding. I didn’t realize this would work on iPad. I’ll have to think about trying your suggestions for the watch..Version: 5.5
✓ It works!I’m the past 24 hours I received over 50 calls from the same country. I installed this app. Not one call from this country has come through. Works amazing! I just changed my rating. It worked last week when I was getting calls from Malawi. Now I’m getting calls from Ecuador. It is not working. The calls are coming through. Help The developer contacted me and told me how to fix this problem. It works now.Version: 5.2
✓ Best 3 bucks I ever spentI’ve been inundated with garbage calls for months. I’ve been blocking the numbers individually - my “Blocked” list contains literally hundreds of numbers - but they just keep coming. With this app, however, my phone has been blessedly quiet ever since I installed it, and blocked everything coming in with my prefix and a few other area codes. I’ve tried a couple other apps in dealing with this problem, but this one actually works!.Version: 4.1
✓ It Really Works!I used to receive phone calls constantly from the same few prefixes but the last 4 numbers would always change. Of course they would never leave voicemails so likely robocalls. Needless to say trying to block the numbers one by one became tedious. After downloading this app about 2 weeks ago, i haven’t received a single call from these numbers. It’s fantastic to have my phone not ringing with bogus calls anymore!.Version: 3.8
✓ The Real 5 Star AppI was looking for such app to block phone numbers. Blocking numbers prefix. This app works 💯 perfect..Version: 3.2
✓ Really usefulI have been using this app for several years It’s great to have the ability to block a range of numbers especially with the scam calls that use different combinations , for example they call from say 0121 123 1234 then 0121 234 5678 you can block 0121 and any combination of numbers after that and best of all there’s an option to allow phone numbers in your contacts that start with 0121 it’s so brilliant and useful so very pleased with this app..Version: 5.9
✓ I no longer feel like throwing my phone away!Thank you so much for this app. I was getting really frustrated with all the robo calls I receive. It's ridiculous whenever one's block list is larger than their contact list. You have provided a very simple and effective solution to the unwanted calls that plague many of us and at a reasonable price. I sincerely thank you..Version: 3.6
✓ Happy Crossworder said it the best!!I can never top all that Happy Crossworder said, but I’ll give it a try... YOU NEED WIDE PROTECT!!! Why? If you get calls from sales people who are not selling anything but they are fishing... for you & your information to do who knows what; if you get several calls per day from Robocalls or just plain rude people telling you they won’t stop calling & you’re on the Do Not Call list? YOU NEED WIDE PROTECT!! For the simple fact these so called calls won’t go away, it’s absolutely worth the time it took you to find this app, now get it!! You will never regret it!! Best thing since sliced bread!!! Go for it!! Get it now!!!.Version: 4.2
✓ Only app to block SMS spam effectively.My phone number has been attacked by spam signups which has resulted in receiving over 2000 messages as if emails are being forwarded to my number my SMS. i tried other apps in attempt to combat the spam but none of them would filter the messages. this is the ONLY app (that i found) that lets you create your own filters with SMS by text which was the only way to combat these spammers. thank you so much to the developers, your app has seriously made it so i didn’t have to change my phone number. thank you..Version: 5.2
✓ Effective app up until the recent update v.4.4.1The app is simple, yet very good at blocking robo calls. I have been using it for a couple of months. It definitely worked for me for long time up until the recent update v.4.4.1, where the app just fail apart. One of the prefix extension (WideProtect -1) can never be enabled, it just gives you an endless spinning wheel that never goes away. Tried deleting the app and reinstalling it, nothing seems to fix. Prefix extension still shows that spinning wheel. Worst thing about it is, while that prefix extension is still trying to enable itself, the app won’t let you add any numbers to block even if you enabled all the other 24 extensions; instead, it gives you an error message telling you to wait until that one prefix extension is enabled. It’s a shame that nothing seems to get it to work; it was actually good when it works. Update: Worked with the developer on troubleshooting the issue with my app. Happy to say the app is now in perfect working condition. Thanks Valerii for your support..Version: 4.4.1
✓ Bug with DNDLooks like there are issues with this and do not disturb. Hopefully those can be resolved..Version: 3.4
✓ Great appRecently I receive a lot of spams from Somalia and Seychelles, this app allows me to block most of them by their country code and first digit. It will be better for the app to remind user the first thing to grant permission to it, I found it confusing when I was told it needs permission after trying to setup a block, that made it look the app did not work..Version: 3.6
✓ Great blocking AppCalls from foreign countries all stopped. Great support and an absolute fair price just to support the developer. You can’t go wrong with this app. Easy to use and works great.Version: 6.8.0
✓ Best spam blocker in the worldThis is in my opinion the best spam blocker ing the world for it’s price. I have used it for about six months now and scam can’t find a number that is not blocked by this app. I would highly recommend using this app..Version: 4.2
✓ Great appThis app is fantastic. No problems at all. Quick and easy to use..Version: 5.3
✓ Love it!I use this and another blocker to get millions of blocks (all toll free, scam area code, etc.) Developer is fast to respond! Great package..Version: 2.8
✓ Best blocking appNo need to look elsewhere as this is the best app for the job. Apple need to buy this and incorporate it as standard settings on all devices! Thank you 🙏.Version: 6.8.0
✓ Had for years, blocks all my fake cloned inbound callsWell worth a few dollars, has been blocking my suspicious calls with same first 6-digits for years. An add-on is required for SMS blocking, I don’t have too big an issue with SMS spam but will buy it if I do. For those saying it doesn’t work anymore, make sure you enable the different versions in your phone settings under call blocking. Apple is making you explicitly allow 3Party apps like this for them to work..Version: 5.9
✓ Working fineGot 5 scam calls from the same pattern within 5 hours so downloaded this, tested with a friend by blocking the pattern starting with her number, seems to be working for me. Just one question, when configuring the CALL IDENTIFICATION APPS under iPhone settings, I see A huge list of WideProtect - xx (number), what do the numbers stand for? Do I need to enable all of them?.Version: 6.8.0
✓ Best prefix blockerBest app I’ve found to block entire number prefixes. Eliminated the problem of robocallers who use the same number prefix and change the last few digits. This app does one thing but does it well, I can recommend..Version: 5.9
✓ Great AppBeen using this app for a couple of years with no problems. When T-mobile came out with their 'Scam Shield', I decided to give it a try (heck it's free... Not totally). Wide Protect is so much easier to use and does not have any hidden cost like Scam Shield does. Wide Protect is also fast when adding more area codes. I Highly recommended Wide Protect. It has a permanent space on my iPhone..Version: 5.3
✓ Seems to work well, but...I had some issues getting it working properly, but Valerii was great at getting back to me by email in under 48 hours, and providing assistance. My suggestion is that the install / use info should be fleshed out a bit. If I had these issues, others probably will as well. It can be mitigated by more in depth info. Secondly 30,000,000 sound like a lot of numbers, but if you want block an entire country it's really not. Thankfully blocking country code + choice 2 digits seems to have worked. Finally, when I delete a number range it deleted it immediately. Because it can take quite a while to delete if your using just the area code or code plus 1 digit, it would be easier for it to delete all selected on exit instead of immediately. Thanks again. No more 1 ring robocalls!!!.Version: 3.8
✓ Blocks Area CodesThis app lets you block area codes! I was getting 5-10 scam calls a day from 1-888 numbers. No, I never answered. Yes, my phone is set to silence calls not in my contacts. But a box would still pop up telling me I had a silenced call and the call would end up in my phone’s recents. They used a different number every time and never leave a message. History has shown me that changing my phone number does not help. The new number could be worse! This wonderful app lets you block area codes!!! I blocked all numbers starting with 1-888. Now my phone is blissfully silent. :).Version: 5.5
✓ Thank goodness!I started getting half rings from Somalia at night when I was trying to sleep. Not wanting to turn my phone off at night, I started looking for something that would block an entire country. This app is brilliant!! I haven’t had any scam calls since installing it. I’m so grateful! Such a relief..Version: 3.8
✓ RubbishPants. Just doesn’t work. Keep getting calls come through from numbers I have blocked..Version: 3.6
✓ Something's brokenUPDATE: GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE! Giving 5 stars, again. The developer contacted me and fixed the issue within one day. I love this app, again! Went from receiving at least 30 spam calls per day to maybe 1! It worked great for awhile. Now, when I try to update my blocked list it just keeps "working" for about 10 minutes with a screen message stating "Block list is being updated...1 of 25...". I turned off all lists except 1 and 2, but it keeps saying I'm updating 25. Then, it stops and I get a pop-up starting "Error Please give WideProtect permission to block numbers through iPhone Settings: Phone: Call Blocking & Identification.". I allowed that access since I purchased this app! So, it's no longer working and needs to be fixed..Version: 6.0.3
✓ Fantastic, but one small flawThis app is FANTASTIC in blocking spam and spoof calls. The only thing I think could be improved is that it still tells me when a spam call has come through when the phone is in Do Not Disturb mode. I wake up in the morning and still have a notification that I "received" several calls. It would be nice if this could be fixed, but it might be an iOS issue..Version: 4.0
✓ Great app!Have been looking for a way to block spam calls resulting from this new Wangiri scam where random overseas numbers call at odd times. Since I installed this app and blocked even only a few of these numbers, I haven't received a single annoying call since! Thanks!.Version: 3.7
✓ A fantastic app that works wellI was receiving frequent calls that would hang up after 2 rings constantly day , night and early hours in the morning . Every time I withheld the number the next nuisance call would be the same area code yet a different number. After blocking 11 different numbers I downloaded this fantastic app , since installing it no more calls have been received. There is a youtube link on setting it up correctly from the developer and I believe it’s worth viewing it to understand how to set it up correctly and get the most from it . Thank you so much for a useful app that has become invaluable to myself ..Version: 4.6
✓ LifesaverI kept getting missed calls from dodgy international numbers like from South Sudan. (Often know as wangiri scam) After buying this app i typed in the area code and the first few numbers because the phone calls kept coming from different numbers similar to each other but not the same so I couldn’t just block one number and it worked. Best 3 quid I’ve ever spent. Thanks so much you legend. Xx.Version: 4.2
✓ It actually worksYou have to set permissions properly within the iOS Settings menu but once you do that the SMS blocking by keyword works great. Absolutely saving me from all these spam text messages. Why this isn’t a native feature in iOS is beyond me but good for this developer. Happy to pay money for an app that actually works..Version: 5.6
✓ Very Nice App!Does what they say it does, at no cost. Monthly, I make a list of all the Robicalls I receive… yesterday, there were thirty (!!). I enter them into WP, and then the calls stop. Of course, I get more… but from different sources, which Wide Protect can’t stop. So, I like the app, a lot, and don’t mind the 20 minutes a month that I spend updating my black list. 🤗👍.Version: 5.5
✓ New ReviewFollowing Vallerii’s very nice and quick response I may have this sorted out. The problem was probably the default 10 digit number input. When, at Valerie’s suggestion, I changed this to 9 digits, then everything else fell into place. So far so good and I will give it 5 stars..Version: 3.5
✓ Install seems to hang - updateFurther to my initial review (below), this is an update. The spinning ‘working’ wheel took 18 hours to clear but when it did clear, the app worked fine! Well done. I haven’t had a single spam phone call in 3 days. If you could do the same for spam emails I would be an eager purchaser. Initial review: I bought this earlier today after reading the reviews - it seemed just what I needed to block the multiple nuisance that I get each day. I have installed the app and chose to block all calls from the problem country. The app then tells me that I must first enable all of the extensions in setup. This I have done and received a warning not to stop the app while it continues the setup. Setup has now been running for a couple of hours with the “work in progress” disk still spinning. The warning says don’t switch off. What do I do? The extension for 1, 3, 4 & 5 also show the spinning disk. Help!!.Version: 4.6
✓ App stopped workingUPDATE: Call blocking and identification came back on its own after I left the review. Not sure what changed but it is working now. Thank you to the developer for the response with steps in case it happens again. Since the last update, the app stopped working. Call blocking and identification no longer appear as an option in Settings for some reason and Wide Protect won’t work without it.Version: 5.5
