AT&T ActiveArmor℠ for Negative User Reviews

Good sometimesI just received an identity alert, but I can’t access it. On the home/landing page, there’s a red exclamation point under the identity circle and says I have one ID alert. When I click the circle, it takes me to the next page and in the identity monitoring section it says 1 item detected but that’s it. It doesn’t show me what it is or anything about it. I’ve clicked all over that page and get nowhere. How am I supposed to take any action if I don’t even know what you’ve detected? Also, for the auto spam/fraud call blocking, I got 16, yes SIXTEEN notifications in a row, one right after the other of a number being auto blocked. In the call log, it shows all 16 calls from the same number. All within about 1 minute. It auto blocked it on the first call, so why did it then allow 15 more calls from that same number? I have the advanced subscription because it’s part of my cell service package, so I should be able to access every part of this app..Version: 6.1.0

BugsGood morning. I received a blocked call notification, however when I open the app. I only get the splash page asking me if I want the monthly subscription or the free subscription. When I choose the free subscription, nothing happens. It just selects the free version, but nothing happens and it remains on the same page. Can’t access anything else on the app. When I access from the ATT mobile app, it displays the number of blocked calls, but I still can’t access it. It states the app is active, but again I can’t access the information. I think some of these calls may not be spam, but I can’t access to see and adjust. I will delete the app until you figure out all the bugs..Version: 6.1.1

Blocked important contacts without my doingOn Christmas Eve I discovered some of my contacts went straight to voicemail and the only way that they can reach me is through text message. I couldn’t figure out what was happening since my iPhone had my contacts UNBLOCK. I recently downloaded the AT&T Armor app so I suspected it might be the cause for some of my blocked contacts and I was right. There isn’t a way to report a bug or send feedback. Further, the app doesn’t allow you to customize the features. Blocking contacts should be option with a toggle to turn on and off. Since the iPhone already has a contact blocking feature, I don’t need two, especially if AT&T doesn’t recognize if the user unblocked the contact from there iPhone. This can cause an issue as well because, the iPhone unblocked the contact but Att armor app did not. Calls then will not go through. AT&T needs to add the ability to change features from the app without the need to call AT&T. It’s Christmas Eve and I have no way to disable BLOCK contacts. I texted and emailed anyone I can think of so they don’t think I’m ignoring them. I like he app but this is crazy!.Version: 6.1.2

One star too manyI downloaded both the security and call protect apps. Have been an AT&T customer for 20 years. The apps just caused more problems than the robô calls were. Now every call not in my contacts was being blocked. I had to constantly monitor the phone if i was expecting a call from a doctor or pharmacy that was not I’m my contacts. So if i was referred to a specialist who was supposed to contact me (so i don’t have their number yet) it would flag them as spam. My other issue is that while AT&T service is good it’s one of the most expensive so charging for the plus version for existing customers is a smack in the face. The amount you charge for a monthly bill should include mobile security and call protection. It’s funny how it’s your network that allows people to use fake caller id’s but you want me to pay to block them. This whole thing smells like a scam. Create a problem then charge for the solution. Smh. Makes you wonder who is the real scammers..Version: 5.4.1

Made me think my phone was brokenLast OCTOBER I started having trouble with this app. I was missing incoming calls from callers not in my address book and they were going straight to voicemail. I cleared all of the filters, at least I thought, and continued to have trouble. Out of desperation I removed the app. The problem persisted. The ATT store couldn’t ID the problem. Apple support could find an issue - twice. I did a complete reset of the phone, wiped everything and started over. No joy. Hardware and iOS diagnostics were ran and phone was A-OK. Did more research on Google and just randomly wondered what would happen if I reloaded the app. After reloading the app I found that the app was still active - somewhere. So removing the app and even resetting the phone doesn’t clear the settings. I hope someone at ATT is reading this because it’s a HUGE FAIL ON THE PART OF ATT. The app leaves residuals when uninstalled. The ATT store and support folks are apparently clueless about this bug. DO NOT INSTALL THIS APP. IT IS NOTHING BUT TROUBLE..Version: 6.1.3

App needs more frequent updatesThe app opens/loads slowly sometimes. Just like the AT&T call app (previous app for this service), the feature that lets you select whether you want unknown callers to ring through or send to voicemail stops working every couple of months. Usually I have it on "Send to Vmail" but because I have new business contacts I switched it temporarily to allow all calls. Now 3 days later the app won't switch it back to "send to vmail" despite tapping the option more than a dozen times. Every time there's an Apple iOS update, AT&T should update this app too because it seems to happens after every Apple update. Otherwise it's a decent app, they have reverse phone # lookup, block is easy and you can send spam texts to their 7726 security team number. It scans websites for malware and security risks too. Just do more app updates soon..Version: 6.1.3

Horrible VPNThe call protect feature works absolutely wonderful! Especially having the option of sending calls from those not in my contacts to voice mail. I hardly ever get spam calls. Also reporting and blocking spam calls and text messages is a great feature. The VPN however is horrible! It constantly blocks all internet traffic on both of my secure wifi networks and when I’m away from home, it blocks internet and app access. I have to turn it off to use my gas, grocery, and even am unable to sent text messages!! If you turn it off in settings, it just turns itself back on in a few seconds, even if I have auto enable turned off! I’m tired of fighting with it, especially when I’m in a hurry. I’ve uninstalled/reinstalled the app but the issues remain..Version: 6.2.2

Thank you for breaking the appAnd also, for forcing an update from the old Mobile Security app, which I’ve had a Plus account for as long as I can remember (and it still shows active on the Call Protect app) that completely rendered this useless. There is no upgrade option and all my info from the Mobile Security app is gone. I’m also pretty sure the developer will just reply with an apology about the experience and to email that account for support but, no need. Just fix it and save the response. Thanks again! AND IT GETS BETTER! After a few hours of trying to upgrade, it finally prompted the pay option. After unsubscribing from the Mobile Security app before trying to upgrade to this, imagine my surprise to see the return of Mobile Security in my subscriptions BUT THIS APP IS NOT REFLECTING THAT and still shows as free. Seriously, fix this nonsense..Version: 6.0.1

It was good earlierBefore i updated to iOS 13 the VPN function worked great! Now with iOS 13 it doesn’t work anymore. It connects but there’s no internet access, nothing at all. Ive also done it on my other phone as well and i even reinstalled the VPN Configuration but nothing worked that i could do. But everything else in the app works fine! i have caller ID now and i don’t even get spam calls anymore, only the rare occasion they do pop up it warns me that it could be a spam call or telemarketer, and also it updated me on the fact of a dangerous app that i carelessly installed from the internet. It turns out was indeed harmful, but overall it’s a great app and once the VPN problem gets fixed, it will be a five star from me!.Version: 4.0.3

Pushy appThis app is less informative and less usable than the one they’re replacing. In an effort to get you to use more of their protection features, AT&T makes any feature you opt not to use look like an error warning. You need to provide an inordinate amount of personal information to use their identity protection, you need to share all your contacts with them to use spam call filtering and using their VPN provides them with an easy way to monitor your data traffic. Given that you may choose not to use 2/3 of these features, this basically means the app looks broken all the time. Meanwhile, they’ve buried the spam call management deep in the interface so that you’re more likely to stumble into all the other less desirable features first. Terrible UI design meant to engage you with privacy-robbing “features.” Way to go, AT&T..Version: 6.1.1

Completely worthless/ doesn’t workI thought this app would be great and was excited to try it. But I can’t use it. When I open it up I see the stats that you get in circles but on the rare occasions it actually lets me get past that opening screen i have to push whichever button I want multiple times before it starts to open. And as the new page starts to open it freezes. If it actually fully opens to another page it won’t go further. Every time I try to go in so I can block a new spam number, which is typically at least a few times every day, if I even manage to get on the screen that allows you to do that, nothing happens when I press block or report. I end up going back to the call protect app to take care of it. I removed and re-downloaded twice. Later I thought that maybe the call protect app was conflict this since it had been combined with the other features (that I’m also unable to use). I decided to remove the call protect and then re-download active armor to see if it improved but no change. I brought back the call protect..Version: 6.0.6

Not as good as the previous att call protectI’m guessing they’re trying to do too many things at once. Who needs att to monitor their web activity? The call protect is slow to update, and I t doesn’t block as many calls preemptively. That means you have to open the app to manually report spam and robocalls. The first issue with this is you can receive a call and open the app to report/block it, but sometimes it won’t show up in the list (maybe for a few hours). The second issue is the app itself is slow to respond when you press the buttons to select block call or report a call. Hopefully they start to update this more frequently because it has a lot of performance issues compared to their previous app!.Version: 6.0.4

Can’t access free versionI downloaded this for my iPhone 13 when ATT stopped supporting Call Protect. Whenever I tried opening it to access the screens shown on the description of the app, I got an error message saying that it couldn’t authenticate my account. Several chats and calls to ATT just wasted my time, by the hours! Finally a technical expert told me I could only access the information I wanted was to pay monthly for it. ATT had written that Active Armor was the free replacement for Call Protect. This was misleading and not explained when I obtained the app. I believe the app is functioning as it was designed to, but is completely opaque to the users of the free version. Unless they allow me to access the information promised into the app presentation, I’m giving them only one star because of the hours of frustration it has caused me..Version: 6.1.2

It totally drained my batteryI charge my phone in the am at my desk every morning. I cut of data while I am on Wi-Fi which is all day since I work from home. Since my settings are all off most of the time unless I leave home my battery is never under 50%in the am when I recharge my phone. Yesterday I installed this AT&T armor on my phone and set it up. I noticed last night my phone was at 20% so I cut all my settings off and placed it on my wireless charger. Came back two hours later my phone was dead. My phone has never done this until I added, installed and activated this app. I already had a vpn that I uninstalled to us this app. I reinstalled my old vpn and deleted this app. You guys are trying to ruin my battery with this app but not me. Also this app was flagging contact calls or sending them to voicemail. There are too many miss functions to keep this app on my phone. I have an galaxy s-10 and a iPhone 11 Pro. It worked ok on my iPhone but on my s-10, is where this review came from. Either way neither phone has this app any more.Version: 6.0.3

BLOCKS IMPORTANT CALLSThis app used to work, when it was Call Log, before you forced us to install/use Active Armor. I have the upgraded/paid version & it lets ‘SPAM’ calls through, but BLOCKS Important Business calls, VA Health/Medical calls(husband is 100% disabled veteran), this app has even blocked my family, KNOWN saved contacts calls on numerous occasions. AT&T is FULLY AWARE of this ‘known issue’, you disclose it in the terms on both your site and the App Store, so WHY CANT YOU FIX IT?!? AT&T has been my service provider for over 20yrs and over the years they had become the leader in pretty much all communication tech, but in the past 3-5 years, it’s like they don’t care about their customers anymore…(they even changed my account info in March 2022 without my knowledge or permission and I couldn’t even access my bill to pay it for over 2 months & had to create a whole new profile to gain access.(after multiple calls and 2months worth of having a manager try and figure out wth happened. I’m seriously looking at severing my long term relationship due to your loyalty to us..Version: 6.3.0

Can’t receive calls from anyone after installing.I installed the app and then I was unable to receive calls from anyone except the people I have in my favorites. Everyone that is on my contacts list should be able to call me with no problems. But they immediately went to my voicemail without a trace of information that they had called me. I was not notified of a voicemail. My Dr. Called and was unable to get me. He had some very important messages about a test. I couldn't figure out why no one could call me I took my phone to the AT&T store to get the geniuses to look at it they were stumped for an hour nobody could figure it out. Finally, I thought about the armor app I installed I told the that I had removed the app. So they checked my phone and I had removed it correctly. But there was something at the main office that still had me installed on the armor app once he got rid of that my phone started working correctly. So now everyone can call me, but I am back to getting 9 million spam calls a day. I can't win this battle..Version: 6.1.3

No supportI received an alert that my personal information has been leaked. My phone number has been leaked too. The solution is don’t give companies or service calling you requesting personal information. The other suggestion, I may want to consider changing my number with my service provider. You call AT&T and their statement was, delete the app, it’s not an AT&T app? If this protection is being offered. There should be a support line available to discuss these issues. If it’s an AT&T app they need to train up some employees and supervisors on the operation of this app. No telling what service is being offered and protected. There’s no support when an alert posts stating a breach of information. I will delete the app and reinstall, to see if this removes the issue. If not I will discontinue paying for an app that has no support behind it..Version: 4.0.4

VPN closes WiFi and forces data useI downloaded Mobile Security a couple of months ago at the recommendation of AT&T. I’m a U-Verse TV and Internet Fiber customer also. Anyway, I started getting notifications from AT&T that I was about to exceed my 5GB plan when I had never came close to using 3GB in the past. As a precaution I switched to the Unlimited Plan. Then I noticed that my phone was sporadically connecting to WiFi. After being transferred from one CSR to a technician who could actually help me, she asked if I had any software that has a battery saver. I don’t. We did a Network Reset. While rebooting I starting seeing “VPN” messages. The lightbulb in my head went on then. After multiple attempts to turn off the VPN settings in Mobile Security and restarting my phone my only solution was to delete the application and restart. Since then I have never lost my WiFi signal. My huge concern is that why does AT&T promote software that disconnects from their own routers on their own internet system and force cell phone data? Start the conspiracy theories..Version: 3.2.1

Slow Response TimeThis has to be hands down one of the slowest apps I have ever used. The features are great and it’s a good concept. The execution in app development is off. When reporting a spam call it takes forever to do. Clicking report takes you to a new screen and then you wait and wait and wait for it to allow you to select the type of spam you are reporting (clicking a radio button). Then it takes you to another screen where you provide details and again you wait and wait and wait for it to allow you to type something in the text box. The app just hangs while you are typing and will not accept the input. Then you hit report and again you wait and wait for it to complete the process. The old version of this app never had these problems, which is why I continued to use it until you disabled it and forced me to switch to this slow moving app. Either fix the speed problems or bring back the old app!.Version: 6.1.2

ActiveArmor not workingThe app is not asking me to verify my number when I use mobile data from the AT&T network. When I use mobile data from another carrier it asks to verify my AT&T number once in a while after reinstalling the app. After I verify my number ActiveArmor is not reading my AT&T network connection. I restarted the app and my iPhone to see if it would resolve the issue. When it does read my AT&T network connection it is not reading my information on my side from myAT&T and AT&T’s side. It shows the name of the person that last had the same number I currently have now. It is not syncing. It should be showing my name with my number. It’s also not reading my subscription from myAT&T. When I check the subscription settings the advanced subscription option is available through getting the subscription through my Apple ID which is wrong. It should be reading the subscription options from myAT&T which is basic free, advanced unlimited plan free, and advanced $3.99. All these app issues are on iOS 16.1 ..Version: 6.1.1

All my calls go straight to voicemailI guess the app works too well even if you delete it. I deleted the app but still don’t get incoming calls. Tried another reviewer’s advice by logging into myAT&T and allowing spam calls. But that didn’t work. I think I figured out a fix though. On the call log, find a contact that is getting blocked and tap on it. Under call status, tap block. It will change to unblock. Then tap unblock. It should be fixed after that. I did it for my wife’s and kids’ numbers and after doing so, my phone rang and their calls didn’t go right to voicemail. Too early to tell if it’s only temporary and you’ll have to do this for every call that you want to receive. But you should only have to do it once. If only AT&T would fix this mess. Stay tuned…..Version: 6.2.1

Doesn’t log all incoming numbersI get spam callers calling daily. And for some reason it doesn’t flag them. It’ll show in my regular call log, but when opening the app it doesn’t even show under the “call log” section. I completely close the app, reopen it, and still nothing. So I have to manually add the numbers to block them. Doesn’t matter because the spammers never use the same number twice. Prev review that seems to have been resolved: I have saved every caller ID number that my doctor could possibly call from into my phone contacts. Yet this app CONSTANTLY blocks every one of their calls. I pull up the call log and it shows I haven’t manually blocked that number, the app has. Even tho it shows as being saved into my phone contacts. I even tried turning off ALL the filters for call blocking in this app on a day I expected my doctor to call, yet this app still somehow blocked them (and gave me a pop up that it was doing just that). PLEASE fix this issue. Have a setting that if it’s in our phone contacts, it won’t be blocked!.Version: 6.3.0

I initially thought that it was great…The features are nice and the bundle price is better than a decent vpn by itself, but here are the catches I found. 1) Most irritating, the app keeps forgetting my information. I have gone through the vpn setup multiple times and now the identity monitor seems to have forgotten all of my information. The time I waste dealing with this is worth more to me than the price for a better security app or apps. 2) I cannot seem to activate any of the features on my iPad Pro because it does not have its own cellular data. Even though it stays teathered to my phone’s data and I accept calls through it. So basically I can still receive spam calls on it if I use it for calls at all. Hope this is helpful..Version: 5.5.0

Deleted the App - Wi-Fi protection needs workWith active armor installed, my phone began to have its functionality degraded. My internet browsers would behave as though I did not have an internet connection. Some apps would work, others wouldn’t. This seemed to specifically be problematic when connected to private (not public) Wi-Fi networks, eventually I might regain functionality but it was completely unreliable. Worse is that during these episodes, if I turned Wi-Fi off, the problems persisted even with cell service for a period of time before regular function returned. I tried turning off the vpn settings for Wi-Fi and that only helped temporarily. I really liked the idea of the app and at first it seemed really well done, but I’m not a tech wizard, and don’t have time to try to problem solve these issues. Regularly losing access to the internet in these scenarios was embarrassingly enraging for me..Version: 6.2.2

No unflagging/allowing calls when blockedNever have I written a review for any app, but here is my first. This app is garbage!!! If you have someone in your contacts or even someone who calls from an unknown number and it gets flagged, there is no way to unblock the number. AT&T response is to delete the app. Separately, the app is using the Hiya database, same company that does the white pages. By allowing the app to access your contacts, you are sharing them with hiya who is data mining them. No idea why it has 4.5 stars, you may be blocking spam but there may be legitimate calls not coming through. Finally this app does not block or identify network based calls over VOIP and that is how many scammers operate. So be forewarned before downloading and using the app let alone paying $3.99 a month for services..Version: 6.1.2

No supportI have talked with the agents. Mainly ATT which I have my SP with and comes with Active Armor. When I am in the house. It stops. We have a nighthawk router with all the bells and whistles. I don’t own it. But I know it interferes with my Armor VPN. Nobody seems to be able to help me out. That my iphn 13 pro max and Samsung zfold3. The Wi-Fi part kicks on but not the main cellular part. It like all of a sudden quits. As much as I love this app. Because it will detect someone messing with your sims and will take a photo, also. Just doesn’t want to work anymore. It stays unhighlighted. That I cannot set it up or won’t let me set it up. The agents step by step. We went thru all the trouble shooting. Methods. It’s not letting set up. It worked beautifully a few weeks ago. Otherwise, it’s a great protection when it’s working. I sent in quite a few times my problem with the vpn setup. To no avail..Version: 6.2.2

At AT&T ‘s request 😣I loaded the Security app and my iPhone started being strange - couldn’t go from Safari to Mail, just got a back signal which I couldn’t click on as it would appear only when I clicked on Mail button at top then it would disappear. Went through a Chat with agent and I was told to do a Reset. I went through General Settings, clicked on the Reset and got the warning it would put my iPhone back to Factory and I’d lose all my apps, messages, Mail, etc. During the Chat I raised my concerns, first I was told to not Reset and the very next message was told to Reset. Needless to say, I left the Chat and removed the Security App. My iPhone now works like it did and I can now go from one app to another easily, like it is SUPPOSED TO WORK!!! Very disappointed that AT&T programmers apparently did not check the app out before sending to their consumers!!! 😣☹️😐😒.Version: 3.2.1

UselessI am a longtime AT&T customer. Over 35 years. I often write positive reviews. Rarely will I write a bad review for any provider. This is my first poor review in over a decade. This app is useless. Don’t waste your time. I had AT&T Call Protect (CP) for a couple years. It worked great. I had little to no spam calls throughout that time. Since AT&T forced everyone from CP to AT&T Active Armor (AA) I’ve been inundated with spam calls every day all day. My last count for spam calls today was at 37. Changing the settings in AA will make no difference. The AA app is extremely slow and often refuses to open. If it does open you’ll be tapping the icons on their dashboard before you realize you’re staring at a froze screen. The developers should have taken the time before they released this app and forced everyone to transition from CP to AA. I will be deleting this app and begin my search for a better option. My advice? Don’t waste you time. Look elsewhere..Version: 6.1.2

DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS APP ZERO STARSIt will block all of your incoming calls that aren’t in your contacts. I have missed so many important calls because of this. Customer service downs even know what you’re talking about when you mention it, just makes you reset your phone then reassures you that it worked. After 6 months I finally figured it out ON MY OWN because customer service is very much lacking in their knowledge of their products. There is also no information anywhere on the web. It will still block all calls even if you delete all security apps. If you have downloaded it and it’s happening to you, go to MyAT&T and scroll past your devices then go to where the small print says active armor, the big print will say your security is our top priority. select manage subscription, scroll down, go to spam calls, select that, then select allow, and then go to fraud calls and select allow under that and now everything will come through including all of those types of calls and all your important calls. So no our security is NOT their top priority because now all the spam and all the fraud get to come through as well as important calls. The end. Save yourself the games and hassle.Version: 6.0.4

Still maddening to useThe app has potential, but it freezes seemingly at least few times a minute and has a delayed response each time I select an option. It is bad enough that I have largely stopped using it to limit my frustration. If the programmers would focus on making the app work efficiently and correctly, I would boost my rating from 2 stars to 4 stars. Sadly, neither AT&T nor Apple allow users to report problems with this app. AT&T does not offer a link to a page that allows users to report feedback and Apple does not allow users to report a quality problem with this app on their App store. This stance could very well be intentional and could be perceived as customer-unfriendly collusion by these two mega cap companies. Perhaps they could prove this not to be the case by resolving this issue..Version: 6.0.7

The block everything appI had been receiving a lot of spam calls & text messages & one day I even got a text message from AT&T advertising it’s Active Armor App. So I checked into it & it seemed like it would be worth trying. For several months it was doing exactly as it was supposed to, blocking all the incoming spam; NICE! But suddenly, after the first several months, I was receiving text messages & voicemail messages from people on my contacts list informing me of their attempts at calling my phone & that every time it would go directly to voicemail. AT&T’s Active Armor was blocking every single call to my phone for the next several months, frequent callers from my contacts list, everyone! That was not acceptable! I finally had to go to an AT&T store because I couldn’t figure out why I couldn’t get incoming calls & the lady at the store was very helpful & figured it out for me. She had to delete my profile/account on the Active Armor App then removed the app from my device & everything went back to how it should be, fully functioning phone service! +Please note that during this ordeal the only thing malfunctioning was incoming calls. I was still able to make calls, send & receive text messages & I still was able to use the internet*.Version: 6.1.3

Unbelievably slow, dumb designI see zero improvement over AT&T’s previous spam blocker solution. If the app performed properly it might be OK, but when I open it, and click on ‘Calls’ so that I can report and block a number that just called, it can take 15-20 seconds for the list of recent calls to appear. The reporting process is terribly designed with too many menus. And it’s super annoying to see that the app does identify a call as suspicious or unknown or spam, but the call was not blocked. The section called My Identity is not remotely what you’d expect and has nothing to do with spam blocking- it’s an attempt to alert you about possible identity breaches on other websites or accounts - a function far better performed by other services like haveIbeenpwned. In this app, they try to provide a list of every possible website or institution, a completely impossible task that leaves so many sites off the list - it’s an utterly back to front approach to notifying users of security breaches in the broader world. It’s an absolutely dreadful app. But, if it actually performed faster it might be at least useful..Version: 6.2.0

Does not do what it says it will doFirst it treats all regular calls not in your contract as spam. There is no spam library of numbers that it uses. There does seem to be some fraud library but if your doctor or electrician calls and they are not in your contacts it is labeled as spam and it goes straight to vm/ no option to answer. I have followed the instructions and sadly am way too familiar with the setting options. Support suggested loading other numbers into my contacts - what the whole city or state or country? I have the paid version to do reverse look up. This does not work. It just displays the number and if it thinks it is spam or fraud not the name associated with the number like, you know, reverse look ups. I question any positive review as probably fake. Asking for my money back..Version: 6.1.2

Seriously?I changed my phone number last week and of course you charged me over $25 for the pleasure and from the day I got the number I have been getting about 10 spam calls and texts per day. I couldn’t understand half of what your customer service rep was saying but I did get the part of downloading this app, and for free. Being hopeful I downloaded this app and I just needed what was in the free version. The first page was setting up my phone and the second page where you select what version you want it was literally stuck on the paid version. I could see the free version but you wouldn’t let me select it. Why don’t you just take it out of the money you charged for this bogus number you gave me. During this review I have gotten two more spam calls. Lastly during my call to customer service you had my camera turned on. What’s up with that? Signed, Not impressed.Version: 6.0.2.1532

It deserves 0 stars but it Won’t allow zeroI used this app for 6 months small issues until 2 weeks ago it started blocking everyone I mean everyone in my contact list, my husband, kids, parents, siblings, job, dr.’s office, attorney’s office, the calls don’t show up on my phone as missed calls, the calls don’t ring, I do not have my ringer off, I do not have DND on. 15 minutes later they appear in my voice mail and my loved ones text me asking why their calls keep going to voicemail. It ask like a virus because I decided to delete it from my phone completely it started causing me to miss important calls. When I deleted it it was still blocking all my calls that I had manually unblocked before I deleted it. I had to download it again because I could not get any, zero calls, when I downloaded it again immediately unblocked in it’s list my contacts and not till then would my phone ring again. I am stuck with this virus I am afraid to upgrade to new phone because will this mess transfer when I spend $2000 on a new phone. I am stuck with it or my contacts cannot call me. It is working in reverse.😩😡🤬😭😤.Version: 5.5.0

Blocks lots of spam, improvements could be madeI had the old app installed, I found out calls from my family were auto blocked and the app was the only way to unblock them. Overall there are a lot of calls this app blocks. Still more do get through though. It would be nice if it would also block emails to texts that have more than two sequential numbers as the sent to address. Group messages where others start replying to all when spam comes through is just as annoying. Also it would be nice if there was a setting that repeat blocked calls in 5 minutes from the same number would not trigger additional notifications. When actual spam calls are blocked it try’s again over and over. These repeats give additional notifications that the call was blocked. Almost as annoying. Especially when your phone is paired with a smart watch and you get dings back and forth. Having to pay for Caller ID is kinda sad, that technology has existed over 30 years and should not be an extra paid luxury at this time...Version: 6.0.5

Do Not Activate This On Your PhoneThis can’t be stopped, it works behind the scenes, and you will miss important calls (even with No Blocks on). I have deleted this app, AT&T won’t even let you stop this software on your number. I don’t even have anything activated for this app and it’s still running somehow without being physically on my phone, it’s done remotely. If you try to cancel from the App Store, you probably should delete your card number to prevent apple and/or this app still trying to charge. Buyer beware, don’t even activate the free one either, it will probably work good for a few days; then everything is messed up. The VPN will reconnect, even when shutting off, so you have to delete it completely, as well. I wished it worked properly, but it doesn’t, it does more harm than good..Version: 6.1.1

App Won’t Get Past “Setting Up Account”After receiving an email that AT&T’s security products had now been rolled into an app called Active Armor, I installed the app. Upon opening the app, I was presented with Advanced and Free options. I decided to try out the Advanced. I was subsequently billed $3.99 to my Apple account, which I have a receipt as proof. However, the app never gets beyond the setting up account phase. I receive a message that I’m already subscribed, and if I select the “Manage” option I receive a message the app can’t connect. If I select the “OK” option, I’m presented with a message indicating “Something went wrong. That was unexpected. Let’s give it another try.” I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled the app, but it has not fixed anything. I am uninstalling the app and canceling the subscription, I don’t have the time or wherewithal to spend any more effort on this garbage..Version: 6.0.4

Don’t do it , vpn blocks wifi connectionI downloaded the armor security app because it won’t let you check your call protect app call log without upgrading to it, since I did that I would notice the word VPN at the top of my screen by my bars , I didn’t think anything of it cause I didn’t know what it was , my phone begin working very slow on apps I would get on, then I was unable to connect to my wifi at home , everyone else could except me , I’ve called mt internet provider an had them reboot my internet an it still wouldn’t connect. Spoke with Att an they redid my cellular data an reset network an it still wouldn’t work , my phone did this for 2 weeks I was miserable, an confused not being able to use my phone, I ended up having to speak with apple an they ended up helping figure out that it was the new app call protect made me download , we tried to turn the VPN button off an it would start working but somehow it would turn itself back on , I ended up having to delete the app, an now my phone works again. Thank god but I can’t check my call log on att call protect because it’s trying to force me to download mobile security AGAIN, I’m missing calls that aren’t in my contacts an can’t go back an see them unfortunately, I do not want to download this app again.Version: 6.1.2

Too many dropped callers and call failedDownloaded this app and set it up. Immediately started getting dropped calls right in the middle of talking to someone. Screen would display Call Failed. Reviewed all of my phone settings and could not find any conflicts. This continued constantly for a couple of weeks. Then I deleted this app. The problem stopped. Thinking maybe some other update on my phone fixed a problem I reloaded this app on my phone. Immediately the problem started again. So I am deleting this app again and will not use it. Hope the developers fix this problem whatever it is as they are suppose to be providing a way to address the spam call problem but if they build on app that doesn’t work then they are not providing the service they are required to provide..Version: 6.0.4

Call log information displayedThis app when your contact has more than one number associated with it the number received is different from the number displayed on the call log. It displays the second number associated with your contact not the number received on an incoming call. Also I have multiple numbers with check marks indicating a verified number but the don’t display them when you goto verified phone numbers category on the call log. You can’t submit a service ticket cuz the “app support” button in the App Store takes you to a AT&T webpage that just takes you in circle. Never gives you the option to submit a ticket. All this has been this way since active armor was new I sure wish someone would fix these display problems and give us the Avenue to report issues that actually works..Version: 6.1.2

Why are you sunsetting Call Protect?AT&T Call Protect was exactly what I was looking for - it only dealt with detecting and blocking robocalls. Now I'm informed that you are sunsetting Call Protect and telling us to replace it with this app, which has extra features I do not want or need, with no way to deactivate them. I tried deleting Call Protect and replacing it with this app and had all kinds of problems. I wound up deleting this piece of junk and reinstalling Call Protect. Please do not - repeat, DO NOT - sunset Call Protect. It does what it was designed to do quite well, and I do not want all these extra features. I will not be reinstalling this app unless you give me some way of using only the Call Protect features, which is currently impossible. If you insist on sunsetting Call Protect I will be forced to look for another app that does exactly what that app was designed to do..Version: 6.0.4
