Number Shield for Positive User Reviews
✓ Best blockerI’ve been using this app for several years and it works great. You have to pay attention to setting it up but afterwards it just does its thing. I’ve tried several of the big-name blocker apps but this one is better. The developer is responsive if you have an issue or question. I wish I were more of an influencer so I could help it get more recognition! Thanks to the developer!!.Version: 3.1.1
✓ Exactly what I neededThis app is simple and does its job perfectly and was worth every cent. I get calls from area code-three numbers-different four numbers all the time and this stops them perfectly. Great job. I recommend it to everyone..Version: 1.6.3
✓ Doesn't work for meFor example: pattern 0843 5## #### and call received from 0843 566 5413. I have an iPhone SE with the latest firmware (OS)..Version: 3.0
✓ Excellent app without the add on nonsense of other apps.Edit: thanks that helps for adding numbers. Overall great app! I love that this is straightforward and simple. I tried robokiller and it’s embarrassing when a real call gets a response bot. I don’t need a subscription either. I love the focused effort here. In iOS 12 you can swipe on a recent call to add to spam list. I’d love that for this app..Version: 2.0.1
✓ 100% good appI bought the app three days ago, I’m waiting to see if It can black spam call, if it really work I’ll give 5 star, if not working I’ll give one star. After three days test, it really worked for blacking area code numbers. I tried many different spam call block apps and it didn’t work, but this one is 100% worth of money. I would recommend to my friend even if this app is $10. Is still worth to buy. Is one time payment, no in app purchases. Thank you for app developers..Version: 2.1.2
✓ Crying with happinessI’ve had this app a total of 3 hours and I want to cry from pure joy. I’ve been getting relentless calls from a 499 number for the past couple of months and it’s driving me crazy. Not today satan!.Version: 3.0
✓ Number ShieldNothing fancy and does exactly what it says. Great app.Version: 3.1.1
✓ Simple and Perfect!I have multiple phone numbers that route to my iPhone, and every number has the neighborhood spoof calls that were driving me crazy! This app is so simple and perfect, no more annoying spoof calls! Thank you for such a simple and great app!.Version: 1.6
✓ Great app for blocking a series of numbersThis app can block multiple combinations of numbers in one go..Version: 3.0.3
✓ Best app everI was overwhelmed with spam calls. I would ignore them as best I could but they still constantly interrupted me. Got this app and after a few weeks the calls have pretty much stopped completely. Not sure if they gave up or are just getting blocked but it really doesn't matter. Best $.99 I ever spent..Version: 1.2
✓ WOW. Spam has dropped a lotSo this may sound bad, but I have only had 23 spam calls for the first 20 days of May, but that is down from over 60 a month. I usually get 2-3 a day from similar exchanges. Now I block them and my spam calls are a third of what they used to be. International spam has completely stopped. Great program..Version: 2.0.1
✓ Straightforward and FlexibleFor a one time nominal fee I am now able to block patterns of numbers (scammers seem to call me from my own area code and exchange in an attempt to fool me into believing I know them). It works like a charm and even allows me to whitelist my contacts so I don’t block people I know via a range. I use this in combination with another similar app that comes preloaded with known bad numbers. The other app wants a subscription to add ranges of blocked numbers… No thanks, I will stick with this app as it is very reasonably priced!.Version: 3.0
✓ Worth Every Penny!By far the best solution to block unwanted callers, robot calls, spoofed calls, and unsolicited sales calls. No other app I have tried actually works, not even the Hiya app. Thank you so much for this app! First day of use I was able to block an annoying call I get every morning from the same prefixed number at 8:30am with the last four digits always changing—no more!.Version: 2.0
✓ Great so far!Found this app on an old StackOverflow post, and instantly bought it. Impressed so far! One bug I’ve found is that when you add a number from the share sheet, you click ok and the dialog box just comes back. If you hit ok again, it states the number is already there. Hitting cancel solves the issue, so it’s not a big deal. This bug doesn’t happen when entering a number pattern manually..Version: 3.0
✓ Still getting callsI’m still receiving calls from blocked wild cards, this needs to be rectified otherwise the app is useless & should be taken down from the store.Version: 2.0.1
✓ Does what it saysFantastic. I was, according to the occasional unknown caller I answered very accident prone, needing life insurance, about to become a millionaire etc. Now I get zero calls. Ok I got 4 yesterday from an 0161 500 number so I added it to block list - nought since. I now live a more peaceful, low stress life and only get calls from who I know. CJTITANIUMRX8.Version: 3.0.1
✓ Worked a treatI’m in the UK and was getting up to 6 scam calls a day from a number in London that started with the same 6 numbers, but where the last 4 digits changed each time. Because it was always a slightly different number, the in-built number block was useless. After a bit of research, I found this app. To be honest, I wasn’t sure if it would work, let alone in the UK, but it’s brilliant! I haven’t had a call from them since. It’s really easy to set up and so would highly recommend it to anyone who wants to block a particular range of numbers. Worth every penny 🤩.Version: 3.1.1
✓ I love this appI've been having a great experience with this app. I have been getting spam calls from similar numbers with the same first part and only the last two digits varying. I can block all numbers in this range with the app, which has reduced spam calls from 10/day to 1 or 2. I currently have 100,200 numbers blocked. Thank you for this app!.Version: 3.0
✓ GreatI normally don’t do reviews on apps but I have to say this is a great. I think it’s better than robocaller. I love its simplicity when adding numbers. I was getting 15 robots a day. This app has reduce it to none. It actually blocks the number so it doesn’t come thru and this is what I was looking for. I don’t know who created this app but thank you so much.Version: 3.1.1
✓ Great AppThis is still one of the best cures for robocalls. I’m surprised it doesn’t get mentioned more in the press. My original review is shown below. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> This app is just what I was looking for. There are several highly rated subscription apps that handle robocalls and known scammers. However, I don’t get so many calls that I mind manually blocking these calls. What drives me nuts, however, are the calls from a range of numbers that are probably coming from the same entity. This app is perfect for this situation. I have been trying to keep the ranges down to a few thousand numbers because I think the developer said that Apple will only allow one million blocked numbers. No problem—this should do the trick. Did notice one glitch when setting up my iPhone X. The second number entered will keep the app loading. To fix this I just force quit the app, and all subsequent numbers entered fine..Version: 1.6.5
✓ Fabulous little appThrilled with this and amazed at how many millions of numbers it’s able to block. If you’re in the UK, remember to knock the zero off the beginning and add 44 instead..Version: 3.1.1
✓ Five StarsFabulous app that gets the job done! I have no complaints, I used to get unbelievable amounts of spam calls from all around the world and being able to block entire ranges easily has fixed most of that problem. Thanks!.Version: 2.1.2
✓ Thank you!I was receiving daily calls from an area code/prefix combination, calls all day long, starting around 6 AM. I would block one number and a new one would call. This app stopped the calls totally!! Thank you so much, best app I’ve ever purchased!!.Version: 1.5.1
✓ Works but buggyIt does what it is supposed to do but it does not allow to enter international numbers started with 011 which is about 20 to 30 % of all international numbers. When you try it insert +1 in front of number. I contact suppprt and response: probably bug ... and that’s it..Version: 2.0.1
✓ Blocks spam calls by patternThis is just what I needed! Most spam calls spoof my number prefix. Too bad Apple did not add this filtering so this app does the job perfectly.Version: 3.0.2
✓ It worksIt blocks the calls that you tell it to block. Needs an option to cancel the “blocking numbers” process. It requires the phone to be on and the app to be open. Takes at least 15 minutes. I typed in a wrong number and now have to wait until the numbers have been blocked, then wait again to have the number unblocked, then wait again to have the correct numbers blocked. Ugh..Version: 3.0
✓ Best I’ve Found to DateI have scoured the App Store for a call blocker that actually works. This is the best one I’ve found so far. You are able to block arrays of numbers based on the spam calls you receive while still letting contacts through. My spam calls have dropped to maybe 1 or 2 every 2-3 weeks. As I add more number ranges, calls continue to lessen. Blocked calls go to voicemail, so you are able to catch wanted calls that may not be in your contacts yet. Definitely recommend over any other apps currently out there..Version: 2.0.1
✓ So far, so good 👍A total of twenty million numbers beginning with 0843 and 0845 are blocked, allegedly. So far, so good. Pray, I never get another daily call from those pesky scammers ever again. This app does what it says..Version: 3.0
✓ Truely works!I was skeptical at first thinking this would be another app with bloated features that made claims of fixing a problem but didn’t. I gave this app a week and to my surprise; it ACTUALLY WORKS! Not only is it simple to use, it isn’t filled with garbage features. My thanks to the developer for this app, best $0.99 I’ve ever spent! At last, I have control over my phone again from all these spoof calls. Bravo! -Jim.Version: 1.3
✓ Great App!This is a really great app. Spam calls have been significantly reduced. However, you can only block a maximum of 5 area codes completely. In my case, spammers have been using 7 different area codes. Wish I could block those 2 others as well. But Number Shield is still definitely worth it!.Version: 3.1.1
✓ Excellent Tool!This was the first solid app I found that peacefully ended the torment of so-called neighbor spoofing robocalls. I get (got) 5-7 calls a day from numbers beginning with the same first 6 of 10 digits as my number. This app made it easy to block them and forget about it. Recently, iOS & this app updated to allow 50 million blocked numbers. So now I use this to block a couple entire area codes that spam calls predominantly come from for me. This was the best dollar I ever spent on the App Store. Edit 12/22 - been using this tool over 4 years now and it stops a lot of spam. Very flexible rule creation. Love this app..Version: 3.0.2
✓ Well WORTH THE MONEY!!!This app us worthy of 10 stars! Was getting up to 17 robo calls per day. Tried other (free) apps with little success blocking. This app looks for patterns. Down to almost none, mainly because local patterns I cannot block-Don't want block customers or potential customers..Version: 2.1.1
✓ Just what I needed !Started getting a Lot of 'ping call' scam calls from one international country - 11 digits including the country code - the first 7 digits were always the same but the last 4 digits were different on every call. So, blocking each number individually wouldn't stop them. Being able to block the range of all last 4 digits with this App stopped the calls. Thanks !.Version: 2.1.2
✓ Like the wildcardsFirst app I have found that lets me use wildcards to block numbers. Love it. Update: Developer is very responsive when you have issues. I was advised what to do to resolve the issue and it worked! My main concern was spoofed calls from 3 area codes that was ongoing for over two years. This is the only app I found to really fix this..Version: 2.0.1
✓ Edit: fixed!I get about 5 calls a day from an ever changing number besides the first digits. So I’ve blocked every number starting with those first 4 digits and they still get through? Am I supposed to include the area code or something? Edit: went to the number shield settings inside my phone setting. Problem solved! Thanks guys for an affordable solution.Version: 3.0.1
✓ CustomerThis app works better for what I had expected. It will block a lot of numbers. On occasion you may need to reload your blocked list but that’s just a push of a button and for the price you can’t go wrong. Thank you!.Version: 1.6.5
✓ FINALLYA simple app to effectively block area codes with no ads, changes to my carrier settings, no subscriptions or features I don’t need! It JUST WORKS! I’m so glad I found the developer’s reddit post. It’s a shame this amazing app is being buried by all these scam apps that sell your data to scammers instead of simply protecting you from spam calls. Please promote this app, in any way you can!.Version: 2.1.2
✓ It works in Australia!I have a work issued phone that was getting hammered by scammers ringing from overseas at all hours of the day. They’d ring for 3-10 seconds then hang up. The scam is you call them back and charge your phone account like an adult service call even though there’s no one on the other end. Tried everything else and many call blocker apps simply wouldn’t work on Australian networks. When I asked, the network provider said sorry, can’t do that because it’s on a corporate plan! That sound you heard at that moment was my head exploding in anger and frustration. But this one works and allows you to block large volumes of numbers. I have over 5 million international numbers blocked. I also haven’t had a dodgy call since. Well worth the money and my sanity..Version: 2.0.1
✓ Simple, powerfulThis beautiful little app is so powerful. I have blocked two full area codes, in two easy steps, which have reduced my spam calls by 80%. I wish I had found this wonderful app a long time ago!.Version: 3.1.1
✓ Works beatifullyI wish I would have downloaded this app sooner. It completely stopped the scam calls from a certain area code. Simple and efficient. Great job!.Version: 2.1.5
✓ Must Reload Constantly?!This is a great solution for most spam. However, it is limited to 50 million entries. This is a limitation of the system and not the software. My gripe is it must reload after making any changes to contacts. Every time I open this App it wants to reload and therefore disabling my phone for about 25 minutes. Still worth the money (99 cents LOL), but you would think incremental selective rewrite would be better..Version: 3.0
✓ This app is awesome!! Truly incredible valueI have been getting harassed by spam calls non stop. I didn’t want to go with robokiller because it requires a monthly subscription. Number shield is a buy once and you’re done. You can block entire number ranges, entire area codes. It can even read your contacts (if you let it) so if you have contacts within the blocked range, those contacts won’t be blocked. Awesome app!.Version: 3.1.1
✓ Works in AustraliaSeems to be working so far. Initially I still received the calls when I entered the numbers directly. But sharing the contacts with the app after receiving a scam call seems to work..Version: 3.0
✓ ReloadGreat app but man those scammers are persistent. I’m still having to reload the same numbers most days. ### ### doesn’t seem to be working as well as I’d hoped..Version: 3.1.1
✓ Got it nowAmending my earlier review below. Now I get what the purpose of the app is and it accomplishes that. Thanks for your response. Doesn’t really “block” numbers it just doesn’t let them ring. I still get voicemails from the spam numbers. If I’m doing something wrong I’d be happy to amend my rating..Version: 2.1.5
✓ Seems to have stopped the robocallsRobocalls from a range (with the number increasing each call) stopped the day after I got this app. Seems pretty effective. Lots of FAQs in the app. The limitations people complain about are set by iOS, not the app. It’s Apple’s fault that there aren’t any better spam blocking apps on iPhones..Version: 3.0
✓ Just works!I was at the point of changing my phone number after being relentlessly bombarded by scam phone calls... then I found Number Shield. It works perfectly to block number patterns that scammers use to bypass your phones call blocking defences. Customer support is also excellent and my teething problems were resolved with a smile.... and yes.. it does work in Australia. Highly recommended..Version: 3.0
✓ It Really Works!I thought it was a gimmick, but we were getting really desperate since we've been getting hammered by spam callers. It was especially bad for my daughter who was getting about 22 to 25 spoofed calls a day. Since we installed this app. My daughter got one spoofed call from another area code that she had not entered into the app, and I have not received any calls at all. This thing really works, get it!.Version: 2.1.2
✓ Life SaverI have never reviewed an app before, but Number Shield has been a life saver for me. I was getting non-stop solicitation calls from numbers from the same prefix (same as my phone number). It was getting insanely frustrating. This app has completely blocked those calls. Thank you!.Version: 2.1.2
✓ Gracie 222This app just saved my sanity! A week ago I started receiving 25 spam calls per day. Of course, I tried the most popular and expensive robo killers which didn’t even work! One of them offered the neighborhood scam feature but continued to let calls through. I found this one in an Apple forum. It does exactly what it says. I’ve had peace and quiet since I installed it yesterday. Thank you!.Version: 3.1.1
✓ Does what it says on the tin!Very good so far. I have blocked all 0843 and 0845 numbers and after several days I have not received any when previously I received numerous calls from these numbers every day. I was under the impression that the app had to remain open for it to work, but the developer responded to my previous review and assured me that this is not so and the app can remain closed on your phone. Fantastic!.Version: 3.0
✓ Best Call Blocker for Neighborhood SpoofingBest $0.99 I have ever spent. No more neighborhood spoofing calls. I was part of the equifax data breach so all my information including my phone number was leaked. I was getting 15 spam calls a day, most of the neighborhood spoofing (first 6 digits of your phone number). I was at my wits end until I read about this app. When you put your phone on do not disturb you can see missed calls from numbers you have blocked using this app. I am a night shift worker so whenever I wake up from sleeping I always see at least 1 neighborhood spoofing call in my call history which reminds me how well this app is working..Version: 2.0.1
✓ Best. App. Ever.Less than a coffee and it allowed me to block entire area codes in a minute or two. This is by far the best money I’ve ever spent on an app and recommend it to anyone who needs an app like this!.Version: 3.1.1
✓ Phone blockAttempted to block Dallas Texas 3 times but they still come through. Don’t know anyone in Texas..Version: 3.0
✓ Need more wild cardsBeen getting a lot of scammer calls from China and this app does not have enough wild cards to match their patterns. Can you please add more? Thank you!.Version: 3.0.3
✓ Great for blocking area codesDoes exactly what it says it does. I like the ability to use wildcards, as it easily allows me to block entire area codes that I know I won’t ever be getting any legitimate calls from. Option to always allow contacts is great too..Version: 3.1.1
✓ Works as I wanted it toI’ve been receiving calls from a range of numbers that share the same 5 digits, and wanted to block all numbers that have that prefix. To do it on the phone, I’d have needed to enter each of the million variations which drove me to see which clever folks have solved the problem. You did. Within seconds of installing the app, and by following the wildcard instructions to block ranges, 1 million numbers blocked within a minute..Version: 3.0.3
✓ FantasticI don't usually write app reviews, but had to for this one. I was suddenly getting 15+ spam calls a day from numbers with the same first six digits. I would block one number, then continue to get more spam calls from different numbers with the same first six digits. With this app, I was able to block all numbers with this same six digit prefix, and FINALLY peace at last. $0.99 to block pesky spam callers for good? Yes please..Version: 3.0
✓ Works in U.K.This works great to block ranges in the U.K. but you need to omit the leading zero..Version: 3.0
✓ Amazing!Works really well. I get a lot of spam call sometimes but this app blocks them perfectly!!! Life saver!.Version: 2.1.1
✓ The app works if you configure it properly.The app works as advertised by the developer, but you have to first configure couple things in your iPhone Settings to make it work. Inside the Messages setting go to “Unknown & Spam” and turn on the toggle ‘Filter Unknown Senders’. Then tap on the Number Shield in order to select this app to filter your messages, otherwise the app won’t be able to block matching number patterns. Make sure to tap on “Enable” when Apple ask you to confirm your selection in a popup. That’s it. Good bye notifications from spam texts! You will find the spam messages inside the Junk folder, and from there you can block and report the numbers as Junk to Apple and your phone carrier..Version: 3.1.1
✓ Blocks area codes!This is the only app that promises to block entire area codes. It’s the one thing that has been driving me crazy. Luckily I kept a phone number from an old area so now nobody should be calling me from there who’s not in my contacts. All other apps I know block only area + prefix, so all sorts of random prefixes still go through. Thank you! Please keep updating the app!.Version: 2.1.5
✓ Best Robocall App I've Used!I've tried various robocall apps. Most of them require you entire omen number at a time. The problem is, as I have discovered, you can enter a number, but the software the robocalled use, will quickly use another similar number to avoid your blocked number and they'll call you again and again and again. In particular, I've had a lot of trouble with robocalls that originated with Texas or Washing DC phone numbers (I'm in CA). Using Number Shield's wild cards, I was able to quickly block all calls originating from these areas. I no longer have to deal with those annoying spam calls!.Version: 3.0.2
✓ Great concept and works wellThe app and concept is great. Easy to set up and use. For those in UK you need to add UK country code and drop 0 from number range. Took me a while to work this out. Once you have done this those irritating calls which change the last 3 digits every time you block one just stops..Version: 3.1.1
✓ Great AppVery easy to use. Trustworthy developer. Costs less than a cup of coffee. ☕️.Version: 3.0
✓ Works and respects your privacyVery easy to use. It helped reduce the bogus calls I get (or at least it reduced the distraction of getting bogus calls because they go straight to voicemail, and most are not leaving messages so less work for me). Adding new spam callers from the phone's Recent "missed calls" list via the app's "share" feature is great. Finally, I'm glad to see this app's privacy policy is clear: "Number Shield does not collect any personal information." and "Your contacts are never transmitted or collected.".Version: 2.0.1
✓ Good job and a questionThis app works as it described, it will block phone calls by the number pattern. Just want ask, does it work with the other spam block app (e.g. Hiya) together ? does it matter in which order I place them in "call blocking and identification"? Thanks.Version: 3.0
✓ Great little appWorks well like the way this app blocks a range of numbers using ## many thanks for the app, have spoken to the designer and is very helpful..Version: 3.0
✓ Great appWorks just as it should, fast and professional support..Version: 3.0
✓ Works great!It works pretty good so far although one call did get through which I’m not exactly sure how that happened. Would be very cool if they could make it so that you can cancel a number pattern part way through the app’s blocking process. This way, if I change my mind, I can cancel and redo and not wait for the app to complete the process..Version: 3.0
✓ This app saved me from going insane!I got a new phone # and immediately started getting multiple text messages daily for “Joseph”, after years of dealing with the late night texts waking me up to tell me if I “take a spoon full of this to have the best sleep ever”, I got this app! At some point I realized most of the text messages came from 1 certain state I’ve never been too and I know nobody in… with this app I blocked the entire state, I got a few other text after from other area codes, but I just clicked “report as junk” and now I almost never get spam text! Thank you so much!.Version: 3.1.1
✓ Great appsI received so much overseas spam calls everyday for couple weeks. Although I block and decline them all, their still keep coming in until I installed this app which stop the hassle and troubles . Thank you! Much appreciated and grateful..Version: 2.1
✓ GibboThis has made such a difference to us. Some scam calls still get through because they always move to new numbers. However , if you use the “block similar numbers “function as explained on the web video this really works well. Also do not have too many wildcards. I think seven is max but four are sufficient.Version: 3.0
✓ Peace at lastHaving been plagued with around six scam calls every day I seriously considered dumping my number. All were from an 0843 number which charged £3.20 if accidentally answered, even for one second. I religiously blocked each number to the extent it was slowing down call answering. I purchased Number Shield not expecting great results and entered 0843 plus hashes. Number Shield warned it would take a while to set up the blocking but in reality took less than two minutes to block 10,000 plus numbers. It has been three weeks and I have not received any scam calls. It really works and given me peace of mind. It created a single entry in my blocked callers list identified by reference to Number Shield. Wonderful..Version: 3.1.1
✓ Best App to eliminate scam callsI was getting so many scam calls everyday with spoofed numbers. This App stops them all and I never have to stress about scam calls. It's the best, and support is just amazing. Thanks Alan..Version: 3.0.2
✓ Effective and simple to useThis is the only app I’ve found that actually blocks spoofed numbers without me having to look at the phone and silence it. Other apps tell you the number is spoofed but the phone still rings. I put several variations of spoofed calls I’ve received into the app and it has virtually eliminated unwanted calls. I highly recommend this app!!.Version: 1.0.1
✓ Unlike the free Simple Call Blocker, can enable in iOS settingsEven rebooting iOS 17.3 on my SE 3rd generation never got the free one to appear as a Call Identification Apps app. So $3 is worth getting to stage 2. Looking forward to many non-calls! Thanks, Number Shield..Version: 3.1.1
✓ No ongoing costsUnlike other apps this is a one off purchase and does everything I need it to. Thank you dev!.Version: 3.0
