Number Shield for Negative User Reviews
✓ Doesn’t workI was still getting calls with those number patterns, all doesn’t work..Version: 1.6.1
✓ This ain’t it :(So, these calls are all still coming through. You just don’t see the missed calls or notifications for them. They are able to leave a blank voicemail and while I’m at work they’re filling up my vm inbox to max capacity with blank vms which means 1. I can’t receive any legit vms because inbox is full, and 2. I still have to call into my vm inbox and delete all of the spam voicemails! All this is doing is hiding the calls so you don’t actually have to see the missed call notification. That is literally all it does. These calls still get through to your phone, they can leave a voicemail, they can still call you! Meh. Misleading and not much help..Version: 3.0
✓ Weak supportI ran up against the Apple limit of 5 million numbers, and decided to delete one of the area codes and replace it with another. Once I tried that the app error out, and I have not been able to recover it since not withstanding having reached out to Support 24 hours ago with no response. There are some automated instructions to deleted and reinstall it, which I have done several times, with zero results I will say that up until the time that I tried to make the change, it was working.Version: 3.1.1
✓ There is a limit to the amount of numbers you can blockBought the app. Tried to add 5 area codes that normally i receive lots of spoofed scam calls from but the app told me there was a limit to the amount of numbers i can block. The limit did not seem to be anywhere in the documentation i could find. Will be requesting a refund..Version: 3.0
✓ Needs updatingIf 0843 ### ### blocks all number beginning with 0843 then why do I still get up to six calls a day from numbers beginning with 0843? Not helped me. Good luck..Version: 3.1.1
✓ I guess I read too many good reviewsI already can block call much simpler on my iPhone. I don’t have to type the numbers in and say to block them. All I have to do is click edit then click on block. My guess is no one will see this because it will be so far down the review list that the person reading the reviews will be too tired looking at all the good one to read to the end of the reviews to see the negative ones. You got me..Version: 2.1.1
✓ Not blocking spam messagesBought this app to block spam text messages and it does not work Not expensive but a complete waste of money. Does not even put them in the “unknown” folder Contacted support a few times, still not working.Version: 3.1.1
✓ It doesn’t workNot working on my iPhone 12 pro max.Version: 3.0
✓ App doesn’t do what it’s supposed toTried this app hoping it would solve my problems but it couldn’t even block my own land line number. When I did add to block list I tried calling my mobile from my blocked land line number and my phone rang as usual. Displaying the number. So I don’t believe this app works..Version: 3.0
✓ Used to work until…When adding my first series of numbers, the program worked fine. When I started to add a second series, the program crashed. I followed the instructions and still got the error. Eventually I was able to add the second series. Worked fine until today. One of the calls slipped through so I tried to update the blocked numbers and the program crashed. Now I can’t get to load any numbers. I’ll be happy to upgrade my rating if I can get this app to work properly. Until then, here come the unwanted calls (sigh).Version: 3.0.1
✓ Works but doesn’t helpI’m torn here. Ever since upgrading my phone I’ve gotten 5+ spam calls every single day. On the one hand, this app works for blocking numbers in certain formats. However, it doesn’t matter. It’s like the spammers know what I’ve already blocked and just use a different area code+first three. If we had enough “blocks” to be able to block a ton of area codes I think it would look better, but unfortunately with the limit there are just too many remaining options. As someone with a phone number from a state I haven’t lived in in over a decade, I would love to just block ALL numbers from that state that aren’t in my contacts. I think that’s the only thing that would really work and I would pay extra for that..Version: 3.1.1
✓ Doesnt workHave been getting plagued by 0161 520 xxxx numbers. installed this and added 0161 620 #### to the list and next morning had a call from 0161 520 2691 Thanks for nothing Humfff 😩.Version: 3.0
✓ Can't block area or country codesRealized after buying this that it only supports 7 wildcards. I've been getting spammed by 8 digit phone numbers with an additional 3 digit country code. Sadly can't just block the whole country with this app..Version: 3.0
✓ Doesn’t work in iOS 16Everything setup correctly - still getting SPAM ranges calling….Version: 3.0.3
✓ Works but limitedWorks as advertised. Only problem is it’s limited in how many people can be blocked. While 50 million numbers seems like a lot, in reality that’s a whole 5 area codes. I have no need to be contacted by people in most provinces so I’d like to block all their area codes. But some provinces have multiple area codes. Some cities have multiple area codes. I saw the developer mention it’s an iOS restriction. I was unable to find the restriction in the developer portal? Further there are similar apps I won’t name that allow wildcard blocking. However unlike numbershield those apps don’t support sms blocking which is where a lot of my issues are coming from (spam texts).Version: 3.1.1
✓ Doesn’t block enough scammersI constantly get calls from uk in Australia. The number of scammer numbers far exceeds what this app can block, rendering it useless... have had 100s of calls per day for last 3 days from different uk numbers On the hunt for an app that works!.Version: 2.1.5
✓ Good but....I have ben using the app for a long while now. Recently the app has been unable to synchronize and throws errors. When you have a large number of blocked numbers the update can take 30min or longer. There is a limitation of 40 million numbers. Would like to have seen a block all except contacts. But when the app is throwing sync errors it does not work. Will be looking at other apps now...:(.Version: 2.1.2
✓ Waiting for a call to test...I received 6 spoofed calls from the Melbourne 03 8XXX XXXX area in the past 2 hours, single ring then hang up. Different number each time. Still waiting for a call to test, but bought this after seeing the developer’s mention of it on a StackExchange thread about wildcard blocking. 10,000,000 potential numbers blocked is impressive, and the wildcard function is fantastic. Only problems I had - the UI is too tall for an iPhone 5/SE - the keypad to enter a number overlaps half the text field of the non-scrolling page where you enter the number, so you can’t tell if there’s anything below the text field, and you can’t dismiss / recall the keypad to see. Also, my phone ran out of storage during generating the block list, which the app said required resetting the entire phone. Deleting the app, clearing some space, then reinstalling the app was a less catastrophic solution..Version: 3.0
✓ Great App…until it has to be reinstalled.It will work for a week or two at a time and then ask you to uninstall and reinstall because it stops working. Then, you lose the complete list of numbers blocked and don’t have a chance to export the numbers before deleting the app. Add a cloud backup feature at least so if it needs to be reinstalled a backup can be restored..Version: 3.0
✓ IT DOES NOT WORK PLUS BAD SUPPORTInformed the app support the block numbers can come through still. But there is no support provided even screenshots were sent when they requested. DO NOT BUY!!.Version: 2.1.1
✓ Freezes saying blocking numbersTried making a rule to block an area code and now it just hangs saying ‘blocking numbers’.Version: 3.0
✓ Doesn't workIt's pretty simple, this doesn't work at all. Still received the same spam calls even after following their instructions. I actually received additional spam calls after installing this app. Don't waste time or money on something that just doesn't work..Version: 3.0
✓ Does not workIt does not work. I still get the phone calls even if I blocked 597-###-####. Please refund..Version: 2.0.1
✓ An error occurred everytime.Tried to contact support and never get back. Wasted money. Don’t get. Everytime when I add numbers they will take forever to get to 80-90% ish and then tells me there’s an error try again. Tried so many times doesn’t work. Don’t waste your money..Version: 3.1.1
✓ More spam calls after downloadI think it would be a bit insane to have a app on the market that is sold as an ad/spam/bot blocker but is actually a company who collects your phone number and sells it… but after downloading this app I started getting 2-3 times the amount of calls/text as I was… call me crazy but there is nothing saying otherwise in this situation. Beware buyers… I’d like a refund.Version: 3.1
✓ Does not workApp only blocks 7 wildcards and will not let be block all numbers from the UK. I have tried contacting support to ask for help and I never get a response. Waste of money..Version: 3.1.1
✓ Limit on how many numbers you can blockI got this app a couple of months ago and it has worked great at blocking numbers from area codes outside my state. The app is slow while adding new numbers to block but it does work. My biggest issue is that the app only lets you block a large but finite amount of phone numbers. I think it was something like 5 million numbers that you can add but I really wish there weren’t a limit on this. Please update the app so there is no limit on the amount of phone numbers that we can add the blocked lists..Version: 2.1.6
✓ Blocking not workingKeep getting a call from blocked number range. Obviously app doesn’t work to block those spam calls..Version: 3.1.1
✓ Revising my earlier reviewThe developer did contact me today and appears to care about his customers. I am hoping this app does the trick. There are way too many spammers and scammers out there trying to steal from us. Give this app a try. It does much more than similar apps that I have tried, and if it works as advertised, it will really fill a need..Version: 3.0
