VeroSMS for Negative User Reviews

✓ FrustratingI have no way of knowing how many messages are filtered but every day the same texts come through no matter what I do via this app..Gregorio4Version: 1.3.3

✓ Doesn’t workThis app simply doesn’t work I put in the key word Carleton as this isn’t my name but I get scam texts calling me that and I still get texts with Carleton in them. If I’m doing something wrong I would gladly change the rating but as of now 1/5 stars sorry..ChattierCobra63Version: 1.3.7

✓ Scam? Proceed with cautionNever had a single issue with Spam callers or texters, but a friend advised me to download a blocker regardless. I made the mistake of choosing Vero - upon realizing they could monitor my incoming messages I deleted the App, and suddenly started getting 50+ spam messages a day. Take this warning with a grain of salt as I can’t prove whether or not they’re the cause, but it seems oddly suspicious that my number (a number that never had spam calls or texts even before Vero) suddenly gets hammered after leaving Vero. Almost seems like they want their business back and are driving demand eh?.Potomus joeVersion: 1.4

✓ Crashes upon installingI downloaded and installed the app and it crashed immediately after displaying the introduction screens. I never got to use it. Uninstalled it after 5 minutes..Scriptboy64Version: 1.3.3

✓ Not blocking spam textsYou are not blocking the spam tax that I’m getting. I got five so far today and each of them had the keyword that I put in your app to block..Saucychick56Version: 1.5.2

✓ Waste of time and moneyI was tired of spam text messages so I thought I’d try this app. I purchased the full version of this app hoping it would work better. Well after a month, nothing has changed. It doesn’t block messages that have matched keywords. The app itself hasn’t “learned” what to filter, which was the point of purchasing the full version. It was a waste of time and money..JjehsbdVersion: 1.4

✓ Amazing until like 3 months ago.Literally this was the only thing keeping the spamming down...plus YouMail which helps with the spam calls. This app was amazing. I never pay for apps and I paid for this...I was losing my mind blocking spam texts until this app. But it has stopped working. All spam messages get through even those with crowdsourced keywords..Woot woot 33Version: 1.3.3

✓ Bug Report: Adding KeywordsPlease fix the ability to see what you are typing when adding key words into your whitelist or block list. The only way to see what I typed is to submit it and delete if typed incorrectly. Having invisible text in text field is not cool!.Croger1998Version: 1.3.4

✓ Still get blocked SMS on WatchThe developer emailed me back and said that there’s an Apple bug that prevents synced devices like the Apple Watch from blocking the SMS. So, it’s automatically moved to a junk folder on your phone and there is no notification for the spam message on your phone, but your watch will still get the notification. The app should have a disclaimer about this in the description because I would not have paid for this app’s premium features if I would have known about this issue that makes the app not function as advertised beforehand. Edit: Been using the app a few days and it IS nice that the spam message doesn’t show up on phone (but still notifies on the watch), so raising from 2 stars to 3..Rallycar27Version: 1.4

✓ False positivesSends to spam messages that the built-in tester says it won't..DesikittehVersion: 1.5.2

✓ Puts too many things in spam folderThe problem with this app is there needs to be a way to teach it to not put important mail under spam - whitelisting is not sufficient and I have not noticed important messages because this app filtered them out and there is no way to even move them back into my inbox.KymeiaVersion: 1.4

✓ Looks good but… !Why… is the blindingly bright with dark mode enabled? And the App Store rate button is broken. Feels like an app without any dark mode, I often wonder how much the devs focus on it, and really want it to be the best..AppesqueVersion: 1.5.2

✓ BrokeCan’t actually use this when you install it and open it it goes through a little multipage tutorial about how to add keywords to block and how to add keywords to the white list . At the bottom of each page is the next button when you get to the third page and you click the next button it shuts the app down. If you open the app again it starts the tutorial over. So the only thing I can do with this app is keep rereading the first three pages of the tutorial I can’t access anything else until I complete the tutorial and I can’t complete the tutorial. I did install the app so I could read a tutorial.Angelw74Version: 1.5.2

✓ Can’t Report AnythingLooks like this app has been abandoned (almost a year without an update). It used to work but now you can’t even report messages. You get a screen with a “Report to TRAI” button and the form has nothing filled out. You can’t even fill out the form and the report button does nothing. Avoid at all costs!.MikebanksterVersion: 1.5.2

✓ Same issue as the last review from almost 2 months agoThe app is still crashing during the setup process. I will not be using this unless this gets an update..GarnivorousVersion: 1.5.2

✓ Doesn’t workI need to block my grandma from texting me bullsh**, without actually blocking her number. I’ve added all of the words I don’t want any association with, and they still go through. I thought I had to pay for it to work, but I was wrong. Waste of money..QueenSadieMarieVersion: 1.5.2

✓ Doesn’t workThis app. Allows you to add words to a list. When one of those words is in a text, it’s supposed to block that text, but it doesn’t.I’m still getting text with the blocked text words on the list. My suggestion is to add blocked area codes to the list..BuckhornboyVersion: 1.5.2

✓ ZERO STARS Like every other spam blocker....It doesn’t work. It gives an option to add key words and I got a spam message from an unknown number with THREE of the blocked words in the message. I even paid the subscription. Apple needs to remove these apps as they are all frauds. I’m interested in knowing how they defend this fact. Seriously. Do not bother. There is no such thing as a spam blocker. NONE, not a single one works..AirtexacoVersion: 1.3.7

✓ Difficult to uninstallThe software is easy to use but I found too many text messages were going Into my spam folder. I played with the keywords and settings and tried deleting the chain as suggested elsewhere but it did not have an impact so I uninstalled the software. However, the junk folder still exists and is still filtering my messages - even though the software is gone..Jjd2021Version: 1.3.3

✓ Crashes on launchApp crashes on launch. I see a thank you screen briefly the the app terminates. How did this get through app review?.Njb8257Version: 1.5.2

✓ Doesn’t work, periodIt May have blocked a few words once or twice, but overall, doesn’t block any messages containing the key words that I put in. I even pasted the message into their “test” and I got the response that it would block those. Problem is, it didn’t. I’d say don’t waste your money, but it was free, and properly priced. That’s what it is worth. You get what you pay for..@seabirdsVersion: 1.5.2

✓ Could be better please fix bugsI would gladly pay for the service this app offers if the free version of this app would work, but if the free version of this app doesn’t work why would I want to buy an app that is already broken. I continually get text messages from telemarketers, I always put just about every keyword that is within those texts and still I get text from the same telemarketers using the same keywords, if this is a bug the developer should fix it then I would consider buying it..Kt4040Version: 1.3.3

✓ Doesn’t work at all as advertisedI get constant scam texts claiming to be AT&T offering gifts WITH a hyperlink. I have tried various combinations of keywords using the common phrases used “here’s a freebie” “here’s a little gift” etc. This doesn’t work even though the test function says it will be blocked when you copy/paste one of the spam texts. Also it should automatically block it because there’s a hyperlink and it doesn’t..ArchDH81Version: 1.4

✓ Not relayed in descriptionNot described before downloading this App is the fact that I have to allow my Robokiller App to be turned OFF so I can enable this message blocking app. Nope. Won't do that; Robokiller works extremely well. Thumbs down. Sorry..Bubbe/Max/AviVersion: 1.3.3

✓ SPAM SMS notifications will still go to watchPaid fee for premium to avoid the hassle of creating manual filters. A couple days later, the first SPAM text was filtered on the iPhone, but my Apple Watch still pinged with notification for the junk SMS. This defeats the purpose of getting the app. If the message is filtered on the phone, watch notifications should also be blocked..A Watch UserVersion: 1.4

✓ Doesn’t always work…I paste a text into the test filter and it indicates the text should be blocked. Yet, the text came through..JR176338Version: 1.5.2

✓ It filters, but what’s the point?This app seems to work fine for filtering messages into the “unknown “ tab but if you still get notifications and the messages aren’t marked as read, how does that help?.Dof4824Version: 1.3.6
