Hiya: Spam Blocker & Caller ID for Positive User Reviews
✓ Never blocks on its own, wants u to update to premium!!!This is a great app for blocking numbers after the fact...after u tell it to block numbers for u...but it never blocks them ahead of time. So u still have to receive the incessantly annoying amounts of scamming & telemarketing calls throughout the day!!!!! When u look up numbers, it will say that the name is available to u, but only if u upgrade to their premium service, which is another annoyance in itself!!!! So I still have at least 10-20 calls from unknown numbers I have to input into their system, write a report for & wait for them to block for me. There should be a feature where u can save the reports u have entered so u don’t have to keep thinking of new ones & re-typing them every time. It is very time-consuming when u have to report as many as I do every day, especially when they don’t block the numbers after your first report. Sometimes u have to submit 2 or 3 before they will block them!!! So I sometimes spend up to an hour (or more) on this app per day when I receive more than 5 spam calls. I ought to at least get a discount on the service for having to use it so much!!!!.Version: 5.19
✓ HYIA App PrivacyAn excellent app catchs all spam, and if it font,, you can self report numbers and add to database of scammers,, help to help ,, i love everything about this app,, its ease of use!, its ascetically pleasing on the eye,, and has spotted/identified countless scammers for me to toy with!.Version: 7.12
✓ Love this!Hiya is fantastic Before I joined I was getting a scam call every day now very rare. When the bot changes it’s possible to list that number and therefore it’s sequences. Well worth the small investment 😊.Version: 7.15
✓ Hiya on my local news and a time saver besidesI found the app after a local news radio guy raved about how great it is. And he did it during a conversation with someone on the air spontaneously. That is how I know it was not a commercial. He commented after words that he shouldn’t have said it because he can get in trouble for that. He apologized and said that he was not doing a commercial and was not a paid spokesman for the company just a customer. It really seems to work great. I run a small business here in a major American city and because of that my number is published in many locations. That means if I wanna keep getting customers I can’t change my number but I get constant telemarketers and scammers every day. They really try to take advantage of businesses because of the fact that they know that we cannot change or disconnect our numbers without going out of business. Sometimes I found that I was wasting 10 to 20 minutes per day on answering calls that were a total waste of time. That means over the course of the year I will save dozens of hours of my time and be able to really make more money talking to my customers, hiya is well worth it..Version: 5.4
✓ Great app!I was getting so many spam calls and I was tired of just ignoring them so I downloaded hiya. It’s been a lifesaver! I get so many less unwanted calls now! It also warns me if something is suspicious!!.Version: 8.6
✓ Seems pretty goodIt works for me. I was getting multiple calls and texts a day and now I don’t. I maybe get one every few days. Other reviewers say otherwise so maybe it depends on who has your number. I felt the amount of calls I was getting was pretty extreme and they’ve pretty much dried up. I’m using the free version.Version: 7.2
✓ Good app but ther is a BUTI enjoy using the app BUT can u make it stop asking for money so much? It is asking me 2-3 times per minute to buy a subscription while I’m inside the app. It is annoying. Apart from this, it is very usefull!.Version: 6.24
✓ Trying to go back to Hiya originalWill not allow me to deactivate. Just want original system where I can check numbers. Did not ask for screen activation and can’t get rid of it..Version: 8.11
✓ Excellent, user-friendly appExcellent app and well worth the money. I usually avoid purchasing apps as free versions usually do the job, but this is worth every penny. Only criticism is that the app has to be open in the background - I prefer to have nothing ‘open’ but when I do accidentally close it, I find the reminder that protection is reduced very helpful..Version: 6.39
✓ Great appUsed now for approx 12 months recommended by Spark.Version: 4.4
✓ The bestWish you could block no caller id numbers would even be better.Version: 7.4
✓ Excellent!!!I’ve been running this for about a week now, and I know it’s not a significant sample, but I’ve not had one scam, nuisance or fraud call since it’s been running. Before I installed this app I used to get two or three a day sometimes. Great app!!.Version: 5.19
✓ The Best.This has got to be the best app on the market for giving peace of mind that the calls you receive are from the people or businesses that you want to hear from. Thank You!.Version: 8.26
✓ Is it still working or am I just lucky?The first day I installed Hiya, I noticed that it was intercepting dozens of scam calls each day. About one month later it seems to only be intercepting one or two per day. Is this normal or am I just lucky? Great app guys. Thank you, Mark.Version: 7.17
✓ Peace of mindWonderful app to screen out scams and opportunists. Being able to search unknown callers I haven’t answered puts my mind at rest… the vast majority are scams anyway. I’m no longer pestered, can’t recommend this highly enough. Well worth the little it costs for premium membership..Version: 7.11
✓ Love this!I have used this app for free today and I have had no scam calls,voice mail or anything and usually I would have around 10 each day so am very impressed!.Version: 7.4
✓ Great App! BUT could use some additional featuresI have had this app since forever now and it’s been great, Honestly a lifesaver for bogus calls and spam calls. HIYA blocks the calls and directly sends them to voicemail or cuts the calls off, You can add some contacts you wouldn’t like to be contacted by to the app and it will block instantly, It’s a really great app and for free too! You can pay for a premium version which gives you real time identification of numbers and lots of other features Some features could be added such as: -Category’s for calls (such as bogus callers and another section for your blocked contacts) that’s all that I can think of! Really good app please download! 😊.Version: 6.18
✓ Free doesn't mean hands-freeThis is a comment on only the free side of the app. What you get: more robust blocking options than Apple offers; access to the Hiya spam/telemarketer database; post-call lookup. In an ideal universe it would be better to have an open-source crowd-sourced database and app. But as there isn't any such app (is there?) Hiya is a fairly good compromise. Their database is partly crowd-sourced, and easy to contribute to. And the lookup feature is fine; it's not automatic. Difficult to complain about that in a free app. And there are no ads. But no app can capture all spam calls in advance. I am happy to see that they have added text and spoofing coverage (though the spoofing doesn't seem to flag anything in advance), but it may be impossible to create a database of spoofed numbers, and, oddly, I've experienced an uptick in spoofed calls lately. If scammers move to spoofing, that may be an unintended result of blocking that is worse than the original problem. Time may tell..Version: 5.7
✓ Fraud/Spam calls have decreases SIGNIFICANTLYI was being blown up by annoying fraud, spam, and spoofing calls. I put my number on the Do Not Call national listing, but the calls were still coming and nearly every 10-20 minutes! It was becoming overwhelming and extremely frustrating! A friend recommended this app and I decided to give it a go—and I’m so happy I did! This app helped decrease the number of fraud/scam/spam/spoofing callings significantly! It’s also a great tool to search phone numbers with and report unknown callers as fraud/spam. Overall, I would highly recommend this app to anyone who is getting those annoying and unwanted phone calls. I already installed the app on my parents phones and some other family members and have also shared a post on Facebook about the app. It seriously helped and I’m so thankful to the developers! Thank you for providing an app that works and for FREE too!.Version: 5.19
✓ This is one of the “Must Have” on your phone!At this time of advancements not monthly nor weekly, we’re seeing major advancements every moment by moment! And it’s unfortunate that at least half of those advancements are of the (Star Wars) “Dark Side” doing everything that they can, to Scam Us, Cheat Us and Steel Our Hard gotten Earnings! Many of them through “Bogus Phone Calls!” I am so grateful for the amazing people who created this App “HIYA” has been a life saver! HIYA has cut the number of “Dark Side” Bogus calls by Blocking more than 50% and if the call is “Questionable” HIYA will “FLAG” it! Honestly this wonderful app has cut my Bogus calls from 20 to 30 down to 4 or 5!! I have had every iPhone from #1 First Generation to the iPhone 7, I think this is only the 3rd or 4th App That I have written a Review On, I hope that this will show just how strongly I feel about THE APP “HIYA!” 👍👍👍🤠.Version: 5.9
✓ Only works for US numbersThe latest version of this app requires a valid US phone number, for validation, before it allows you to add a number. This effectively make the app useless outside of the US. Well done developers, you just lost a lot of customers.....Version: 5.24
✓ Not one call identifiedAfter 2 months use this app has not identified one spam call. Keep getting calls that hang up soon as you answer. Hoya has not recognised any. Waste of money, not happy, don’t buy.Version: 7.11
✓ Great app but whitelist contacts should be defaultThis app has been super helpful with preventing robocalls. However, the app is user based, and robocalls can be made from any number these days, even those that belong to actual people. Users of the app report spam calls like these which stop legitimate calls from coming through, and it sends them straight to voicemail. The app has an option to whitelist contacts, but it’s not a default option. I got a new phone and redownloaded the app and didn’t realize I didn’t have whitelist contacts on. My mom tried to call me and was sent straight to voicemail, as did my dad. I wasn’t getting notified about these calls and it took me like an hour to figure out the reason for this was because of this app, and whitelist contacts not being on. Obviously I would want calls from my own contacts to come through??? But I guess that means that the app is definitely working if calls from my own dang parents weren’t coming through. And since using this over like the last year or so, I have noticed significantly less robo & spam calls. So, 4/5, would recommend..Version: 5.33
✓ Originally worked really good....butI had the Hiya free basic app installed on my IPhone 6s and it worked great with no problem. I then changed my IPhone to an IPhone X and I removed the app from the IPhone 6 and reinstalled the app which was still in the Apple ICloud onto my IPhone X . I now get a message saying “Error cancelled “ every time I attempt to add a number to the blocked list . I have reported the matter to Hiya and am awaiting a response to the problem..Version: 6.34
✓ A smart defense in a very dangerous worldAkin to a fort. A powerful line of defence..Version: 8.3
✓ IOS compared to androidOS.Works better on AndroidOS. Doesn’t work as well with iOS than androidOS. It might have something to do with the way iOS is designed but this app doesn’t work as well with iOS as it does with androidOS..Version: 8.18
✓ You get what you pay at forI have had this app for a year it has block 3 calls. Most get through without even the warning coming up..Version: 5.21
✓ My Sanity Thanks You!!I used to receive 30+ robo calls/ spam calls a day I believe bc my cell # is associated with my business & I downloaded this app on a Friendster on me my phone stopped ringing off the hook!! Wow! As a new mom, a full time single mom & my infant son being in daycare the only people that really ever call me is the daycare because there’s a problem, or a client from work-again because there’s a problem, so of course when my phone rings I have to stop my job and look at my phone. Seeing random area codes from all over the country calling me all day everyday frustrated me to the point I actually threw my phone across the room one day! Luckily I didn’t break it-as a single mom w/ no extra income or lotto winnings I obviously can’t afford a new phone... this ap has given me my sanity back, I have already told everyone I know about it & couldn’t be happier :) thanx again sooooo much👍🏼👍🏼⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.Version: 5.5
✓ AwesomeHas been so useful during Coverd the amount of spam is ridiculous Thank you.Version: 7.4
✓ HiyaHad this on my Samsung phone as it comes with the phone, this is why I’ve put it on my iPhone as I’ve found it to be the best one out there & I’ve tried them all so I highly recommend this app.Version: 7.4
✓ Hiya Spam blockerI'd been getting regular spam calls at any time if the day these were so annoying so I decided to look for a spam blocker tried a couple which were a complete waste or time but on reading so many good reviews about Hiya i subscribed to the years subscription and my word I didn't know what to expect but to my relief spam calls were becoming a thing from the past. Spam and fraud calls ceased getting through what more can I say I'm at peace once again this is app to have on your phone for peace of mind highly recommended.Version: 8.26
✓ Block most of unwanted calls butThere is a caller ID named NONE still able to pass this app and calling my number. Otherwise, I would rate this app with 5 stars..Version: 5.19
✓ Good but...I’m impressed with the basic protection this app provides. Especially for the free version! I would rate it even higher, but it seems even though I leave the app running all the time, I am constantly having to go back to the app, and reset the settings I previously selected. About once every couple weeks, I begin receiving a noticable number of spam calls coming through. When that happens, it’s my queue to go into IOS settings, and once again I have to set Hiya as my call protection. I also have to go into Hiya settings and reset things like the type of protection I want. I won’t upgrade to the premium protection until these little annoyances are fixed. Once fixed this could be a great app. Right now, I just see it as a good app. By the way, the feature just announced, that the dial pad protects you against calling a spam number? What is that? Why would the app developers think this is a good feature? How many spam numbers do you mistakenly call each day? Seems their time could have been better spent fixing things like persistent settings instead..Version: 5.11
✓ Awesome!!Not one complaint from this customer!.Version: 7.18
✓ Used to get about one call a day, now I get noneApp seems to do everything it claims. Only thing is that the Hiya label in my call log is truncated with ‘...’ until I try to call the number. To find out what Hiya thinks the number is, I have to look it up every time..Version: 5.23
✓ Does exactly what it saysThis is a brilliant free app. I’ve not had any spam calls at all since I installed it 2 weeks ago. On average I was getting easily 5 every day. Well done.Version: 7.11
✓ Peace of Mind soI've been using this app for a year now and it's been very useful. Now I check numbers that seem innocuous and then block them. Using free version only ant afford the pro monthly.. But I'm 70 so I don't get a lot of traffic so I've tge time to check out those I'm suspicious of. Thankyou. HIYA.Version: 6.7
✓ Tried many, Hiya is the best.Blocks most unwanted calls, albeit sometimes a number that has previously been reported in the database as fraud/spam etc., is not identified until I query the Hiya database..Version: 8.8
✓ Works well (most of the time)I really like Hiya, but sometimes it lets me down. It may or may not identify a caller and I have to let it go to voice mail. Then I copy the number from the voice mail or missed call to paste into Hiya for identification. The real problem comes when it seemingly stops working altogether! A visit to the app will show an alert telling me to go to Hiya Settings and turn on all three switches. There is a convenient button to press but it takes me to a blank settings screen. Moving up one level (back) and the whole Call Blocking & Identification section is missing!! A restart of the phone will not fix. A hard restart (reboot) doesn’t do it either. The only way I’ve found is to remove and re install Hiya. It’s too bad this I don’t get a notification when this happens; I do get notifications when updates fail. All told, Hiya is very good at what it does. It just needs a little more refinement to stop these infrequent occurrences and let the user know when it happens. I have not tried any of the other call blockers; so I have no benchmark..Version: 6.20
✓ Hiya- best anti fraud appStop fraudulent calls/ cold canvassing/ report back to the hiya data base to warn all other users of potential problems with particular texts and calls - hiya will highlight in red all the scammers calls- just added security as I’ve definitely noticed a huge increase in desperation from these Dark Hats!.Version: 7.10
✓ Must have app although starting to ask for premiumBrilliant app for getting heads up on unknown calls. Saves me having to answer spam/telemarketing phone calls! Lately though app has started asking for subscriptions. If it gets persistent I’ll be moving to another app..Version: 6.8
✓ Pretty good at reducing spam and scam callsI’ve actually experienced a significant reduction in the number of spam and scam calls. An occasional call breaks through, but I can deal with one call per couple of month (used to have 10-20 calls each month)..Version: 8.28
✓ Scam or fraud!I really like it when I put in the number that called me & it comes up that it was spam or fraud, that my suspicion was correct. I then block the number..Version: 5.23
✓ Very easy to useI was told about this , and thought I would try it, excellent it seems to work? I have real indicator, but I am reporting the scam telephone calls I am getting. It seems I am on several lists as I get a regular ‘torrent’ of the blasted things..Version: 7.4
✓ Great appI love this as it tells you if it’s a fraud number. It would be nice to be able to do everything free. With having to pay for everything now it gets expensive. I can’t afford much since becoming a widow and I’m only on a pension so have to be careful. So please make it completely free for people like me. Thanks though for a good app in helping to sort the scammers out. Just to add I can’t block the caller as it won’t let me. I go to settings and it won’t go on the last 2. So I don’t know why. If anyone can help with this I’d be most grateful..Version: 8.4
✓ Hiya stops them in their tracks!I am so thankful for Hiya! It used to be that every other call I received in the day was a Robocall or someone that had access to a phone list and they were constantly calling me. Yes, I signed up on the Federal and State “Do not Call Registry”; but, it never stopped nor did it lessen the amount of incoming calls by salespersons nor the Robocall machines. But, Hiya did what these lists could not! Thank you to the creators of Hiya. You’ve made a life-long subscriber out of me!!! Finally, an app that truly does as it advertises! UPDATE: Hiya has decreased my unwanted, telemarketing, and scam calls so very low that when my phone does ring it often catches me ‘off guard’ and I find myself startled by its ringing. If one has ever been affected by the constant, often untimely, and just plain annoyance from telemarketing, scamming, and unwarranted calls then I cannot recommend Hiya any better than to tell others they need to download and use the most useful app on the market. I have bought and upgraded to the Hiya Professional version now and it just keeps getting better. I’m not exactly sure how it does what it does; but, five star rating doesn’t give the app enough credit. It’s a true GOLD MEDAL WINNER of all apps. PS: These statements come solely from a happy user that has received no compensation of any kind as a reward for my endorsement..Version: 6.14
✓ Appears to work very well.I used to receive six or more “ robo” calls every day, despite blocking every suspect call with the iPhone’s built- in blocking feature. The built- in feature is effective, but it can not identify incoming calls as unwelcome. That’s where the Hiya app helps. The free version seemed to be effective, but only for a month or so. The upgrade was reasonably priced, so why not give it a try? For the past six months the number of bogus calls has finished significantly. My method of screening calls is: 1. Never answer a call not in my phones contact list. 2. If the Hiya app doesn’t flag a suspect call, wait to see if a message has been left. If one has been left, and it is unwelcome, report it with the appropriate label. 3. (Optional) Do a search for the owner of a phone number. If an owner has been found, then the number may have been hijacked. Then block, or not. 4. Block number. First with Hiya, then with iPhone’s built- in app..Version: 7.4
✓ GreatIf every one had this app, we could eliminate scams and annoying calls.Version: 7.15
✓ BrilliantThis is brilliant been using it a while now and it’s stopped all the ppi,tele sales calls from getting though, I would definitely recommend upgrading to the package so it downloads all the new spam numbers in the background it’s only about £13 for the year well worth it.Version: 6.24
✓ What a difference!From up to 5 dodgy calls per day to no more than one every few months and ID on genuine missed calls. The best value app I have ever purchased..Version: 6.1
✓ Great App - Just Went PremiumI’ve used the free version for over a year and it’s a huge help filtering out spam calls and texts. Now more than ever with the internet I get spam calls and messages so I decided to go with the paid version when I saw how inexpensive it is. Highly recommend!.Version: 7.18
✓ Excellent Call BlockerThis is my favourite call blocker on iPhone, I highly recommend Hiya. There are too many scammers and fraudsters these days, this app is a must have..Version: 7.17
✓ Finally, I’m limited on the Robo and Fraud Calls!It’s been a blessing to not have to get so many Robo calls during the day. I used to get a lot more, but since I’ve started using Hiya I am receiving less and less, and having the calls screened for Scam, Fraud, and Telemarketing is a plus. Plus, even finding out who is calling me if I don’t answer is great when I want to look up the number. Update June 2018: The app isn’t working as well lately, and I have been receiving IRS extortion calls from east coast numbers this entire week and the app is not picking up many of them. After I copy and paste the number, only a few come up extortion. I understand that not all numbers can be found, so we’ll see how this app handles more of them. Update July 2018: The app is working better than last month. There have been a lot of local numbers coming up, but it’s picking them up more often now. Those pesky east coast numbers are still coming up, and the IRS scams still get through as the Robo callers are getting more tricky and finding other ways around them being blacklisted, but, all in all, so far so good..Version: 5.6
✓ Not badThis app cuts the nuisance calls pretty well. The only snag is these blocked people can still leave voicemails- at least on iOS system which loses a star. It would be great if the developers could include a ‘pick up and hang up facility’ to prevent these pests leaving voicemails- this would make the app absolutely first rate..Version: 5.18
✓ I’m soooo thankful but confusedI’m glad this app is here it worked really well and someone tried to scam me so then I realised that I can trust this app but two other numbers coming from Portsmouth were calling me and I didn’t know who and I still don’t know soo still a bit worried.Version: 6.3
✓ HiyaAlways feel good knowing Hiya is alerted on my phone when scam calls come in. Highly recommend Hiya!.Version: 8.8
✓ Hyia appI think this app is great since I’ve downloaded it onto my iPhone 8 I’ve only had one phone call in the last six monthsSupplementing this with a 7726 text message Service to report unwonted phone calls text messages..Version: 6.32
✓ Great!!Was told to download this app by my Provider as STIR/SHAKEN system wasn’t available yet for iPhones yet which was shame but since I got this app it’s literally blocked all my spam calls and I haven’t received any thankfully. It’s a total life saver as recently I was getting over 10 calls a day everyday and was becoming aggravating but this app it Amazing so far!! Thank you! :).Version: 7.17
✓ A great helpThis app has really helped me. My number is registered with the telephony preference service but I still get calls. I screen them all on this app & have never been let down or caught out with a scam call. Excellent service.Version: 7.18
✓ Just download it already!I had been getting at least 5 spam calls a day for months...then the spam texts started showing up. I spent hours researching how to get this all to stop and/or how to control it so I didn't punch these fools through the phone. I read great things about two app options, one of which being Hiya. Hiya is my favorite and the only app remaining on my phone to assist in spam call screening. It truly is amazing and has DRASTICALLY REDUCED the number of crap calls that get through while providing a full warning label for suspect numbers that do ring. I have reviewed maybe one app in the past because I generally just don't care that much about nonsense I download to my phone. The set it and forget it nature of Hiya is so simply perfect that I just had to let others know how great it works. Imo, Hiya but is so much more than just an app, it is a true public service. Download it, allow it full access, and be much less stabby when your phone rings..Version: 5.2
✓ RNBI love having an app that tells you when someone is calling you that it’s a scam but this app would even be a lot better if it could do the same with messages and emails. Scammers are trying everything to scam people and we need to be protected on all three services. If or when you can do that I will up grade 4 to 5 stars but I am gladly paying for your premium to catch these scammers out..Version: 7.4
✓ This app saved me from losing my mindFilters spam fraud and suspicious phone calls better then other apps i've tried. Love it!.Version: 7.11
✓ Doesn’t seem to stop callsDoesn’t seem to stop calls when I put the number in it doesn’t find them? Does it only work if you purchase it?.Version: 6.26
✓ Clunky - Feels Like They Should Pay UsersI expected Hiya to flag calls as they happen which it does infrequently. However, If a call has not been previously recorded into their database you have to go to your phone log, copy the number, paste it into the lookup function, and then have Hiya look up the number. If it is spam, you then have mark it as a blocked call, flag the type nuisance call it is, and provide further details in order for the listing to be useful for others using the app. In other words, Hiya relies on everyone reporting numbers and providing additional meta-data to build out its database. Spammers are constantly changing numbers so this copy, paste, add data routine is the process most of the time. When logging a call if the app is ‘working in the background’ it does not automatically read the copied phone number from cache so you have to manually paste it into the lookup function before it finds the number. You have to shut the app down and restart it every time if you want it to automatically pull the number from the copy puffer - also annoying; adding more steps than what seems necessary. They really should not charge for this since users are actually building their database for them not too mention that it takes too many too many steps to be convenient. Maybe simpler to just block calls in the iPhone app..Version: 5.18
✓ AwesomenessI was getting 2-5 scam calls a day before I installed Hiyaa - since then I’ve had zero scan calls. Awesome.Version: 8.14
✓ Finally!!I receive loads of calls almost everyday about car accidents I've had (but haven't) or falls at work! I must be in some mess according to these people! This app has helped to get rid of all this nonsense and now alerts me if it's a spam caller as well!!.Version: 4.0
✓ Thank goodness for this appI had four weeks, sometimes up to 8 calls a day there for a week or so - until I had enough of answering, ignoring etc. installed Hiya (after reading reviews on web) and from that moment on.....nothing. Not one call has come through. Thank you for my peace and quiet :).Version: 5.21
✓ This app made answering my phone no problem!I kept my family's phone number, after my mom's death. My family had had this number for 62 years! I wanted mom's friends to be able to find me, and I could inform them of her passing. When I found this app, from channel 5 tech report. I was not sure I should down load it. You know all the various viruses and other bad things that get in your device. I did get it, and was just about jumping with joy! I grabbed my son, and showed him the app, telling him it would really be good to have on his phone... He got it, and with a couple shows of things I was using, he got his Hiya app the way he wanted. It looks wierd to review from iPad, but my iPhone was charging. This app has prevented all the home improvement calls that that had been coming. I had told them I was a renter now. But they kept calling. Now, Hiya, can note under the caller's name (unless it's unlisted) whether the call is suspect as spam, or not. I can silence the call, then check with Hiya to see if the number was scam, or how high of scam suspected. I love this app!!.Version: 4.4
✓ Great first impressionI’ve just started using this app and it works so smoothly. The interface is excellent and functionality has worked as expected after 4 attempts. They definitely passed the initial keep using/delete hurdle. Looking forward to my next incoming spam call!.Version: 4.4
✓ Does what it says in a very unobtrusive wayThis is a great app that integrates properly with the iOS system and provides easy blocking of nuisance calls..Version: 5.29
✓ CrazzzyCouldn’t be happier as it recognises so many telemarketers And fraudulent calls which saves me wasting so much time cis I don’t answer them and block immediately. I would recommend it to everyone..Version: 5.16
✓ GoodIt seems to work now. Getting very less spam calls after installing this app. Way better then TC for blocking spam calls..Version: 7.3
✓ What a time saverThanks to Hiya I now know immediately whether to answer a call or not as it alerts me to scam callers. Each time a new scam caller rings me I go through to settings and block their number. I have more blocked callers than actual contacts now..Version: 7.8
✓ Awesome app that actually works!I love the design of this app, and the features it has. It’s not expensive, but I think Apple should purchase it and make it a standard app on every iPhone (no, it’s not expensive, but when you are on a fixed income..disability…you sometimes can’t fit even $4 extra in your budget)! The only thing I have found is, I missed a few very important phone calls. But I think it’s my settings that caused that more than anything. I have kept my ringer off for about two years now, because of spam calls that start at 6:00 am and continue until 11:30 pm, hundreds of texts… at one point I had over 2,000 unread texts and over 200 phone calls.. from me looking for car insurance and other vital things online. I haven’t listened to the screening message yet, but I love it!.Version: 8.15
✓ Better than the Do Not Call registerThis is great. It tells me who are telemarketers etc. so I can ignore the calls and allows me to submit back to them any they don’t know already. Love it..Version: 5.6
✓ Thought the app wasn't doing anything, I was wrongI didn't realize the amount of calls this app was saving me from until I uninstalled it. I deleted it thinking I never got spam calls, not realizing this app was the reason why..Version: 7.17
✓ Whoa...😆This is seriously the greatest thing, maybe, quite possibly ever...However... I find on my device/version/IOS it hasn't allowed we to just view the name/identity on my dropdown list that iPhone has as a function. I can see everything if I copy and paste number, but feel this is sort of "extra" as they say, lol. Some times the caller id will say "Oh hey! Hiya: Satan calling!" I thought that was super cool. Then...it stopped doing it! 😩 I am starting to think maybe it doesn't currently have the phone number stored to forewarn. The only other minor this is the "Blocking" feature. It's temperament for me, but not too crucial where I'm not going to take advantage of that yearly price renewal! This app is amazing and sooooo helpful. If you happen across numbers you receive calls from though, let's be in this thing and get all the spammers and Robo people that laugh with the 'ol "Ha ha ha! I'm not sure what you mean!? I've never been asked that before!!!??" 😒😐😑 Two words: DO IT!!!!.Version: 5.19
✓ Why only four stars?Well guys, It’s a fantastic app goes no doubt about it, but there are several other apps on the market that are just as good have the same functionality do not charge any monthly fees that’s where you fall down. Ta.Version: 7.7
✓ Helping preventing fraudLove that I can be told about number as I had been recently scammed and don’t take calls that are unknown to me..Version: 7.15
✓ JJ.This app is so perfect. It lets me know if the calls I receive are genuine or scam or Spam, also where it is coming from. I love this app and would definitely recommend it to anyone. Thank you hiya 👍👍.Version: 8.28
✓ Great app, but Family Subscriptions don’t workThe app is undoubtedly the best of this type. It was free for several years and I loved it. When it began to charge $3/mo or $15/year, I did not hesitate to go for the latter. The problem came when on my wife’s phone, having Family Membership, I downloaded Hiya and upgraded to Premium. The usual message from the App Store is “A Family Member already purchased this, so you can obtain it for free.” With Hiya, however, my wife’s phone was billed to my account. I chatted with the iTunes Store and they cancelled the charge, but told me I needed to contact the developer to have my wife’s phone also have Hiya Premium. However, there is no way of doing that. “App Support”, both here on the App Store and on the website, consists of FAQ’s and blogs, with no way of telling your story outside of a review such as this one. Hope it helps. UPDATE on July 2019: after several years the above has not been fixed. NEW PROBLEM: on March 8, 2019, I changed my number TT&T has a policy of letting a number rest 90 days before re-assigning it. Hiya and several others report my new number as belonging to one Kenny Sanchez. Only the “Lookup” app has been correct from a few days after I changed my number. Today is July 27, nearly five months and Hiya continues to say my number belongs to a person who quit the number eight months ago! WOEFULLY OUT OF DATE!! I quit my subscription and will get “Lookup”..Version: 5.24
✓ HiyaThis is the best and most useful app I have seen in a long time. I really appreciate the blocking of unwanted callers whether they are telemarketers or scammers..Version: 8.28
✓ Would recommendPeace of mind so many unwanted calls. Now have been stopped.Version: 5.21
✓ LOVE IT!I have been pestered from a number in Sheffield often followed by a mobile number. These calls would ring then hang up and never leave a message. Not any more. Thank you. No more frustration..Version: 5.13
✓ I was a bit harsh in an earlier ratingAfter paying for premium protection the app wouldn’t work. But as you can’t talk to any one you need to work through the faq. After uninstalling the app and reinstalling it it’s a totally different experience. I now have all my contacts are white listed. And the app isn’t asking me to upgrade.Version: 6.2
✓ Impressed!The upload, and easy instructions make this easy to use app a perfect addition to my phone. I was tired of getting numerous calls a week from spam numbers and getting Chinese calls/voicemails. I don’t speak that language even. Looked up the number on hiya and what do you know spam number pretending to be BMO. Useful and informative! Easy to use..Version: 5.21
✓ Life and timesaver!I was getting around 5-10 spam calls a day before installing this app, I use to block them on my phone but then just get called from another number. Since using this app I get 1 a month if that, frees up my time from constantly checking if it’s a call from someone important..Version: 5.18
✓ Finally!I have looked at so many of these apps and this is the only one that actually works! I've been really happy with this and would definitely recommend.Version: 4.3
✓ QuestionWill it be able to be used for 2 phone numbers on phone.Version: 8.11
✓ Makes spam or fraud easyThis app is easy for finding spam or fraud. Says you probably a lot of time talking to somebody like this, I would really recommend this to anybody that wants to make things much more simple..Version: 5.16
✓ Paying for too muchI am paying for in advance help, because so much time is used with scams and sales. I am very disappointed in “no name” answers! I wish this company would get on the ball and start to investigate “the no names”- you know them, you have a staff that can investigate. At first you were better when no cost. Then you started to back off and forced us to pay, and for what??? You need to be what you promised, if you really want to be a much bigger success! The people want this, the sky’s the limit for this company! Can you imagine, there would no ceiling to your potential. Scammer and unsolicited or no name calls are within your power. Just get people to Followup on things not found. You would own the market, and I and others would recommend you to everyone. But now, I can’t tell friends and acquaintances to pay for full use of your app services..Version: 5.19
✓ Very useful appHave used this app a lot. Have had several calls a day from numbers I do not recognise. If not in my contacts I do not answer but can now check on who is calling me. Warns if known scam or fraud but if it says no name then that is as good. Anyone who will not show their name is dodgy to me so get blocked also x.Version: 7.4
✓ A Solid 5 Stars. 😃😃😃😃😃This is the absolute truth. I was getting so many BS calls that I actually counted them one day. The number was 29. I was thinking about changing my number, but I have had it for at least 20 years, no lie, and the aggravation of all the work I would have to do when I did that, ended that idea quickly. So I began looking at apps to see if they could really do what they advertise they can do. Well, I am happy to say that I have been using this app for about a month and from day one, I noticed a big difference. The first day, the calls dropped to 8 or nine a day. Now that I have a system when a BS call sneaks through, in less than 1 minute, it’s blocked and never heard from again. And, any numbers in my contacts list go right through with no problems at all. My BS calls are about 2 a day, which I can easily handle. Check it out.Version: 5.6
✓ Got worseSeems like they removed the good features of this app. Now there is just a search option? Is it for spam or flagging spam. Moot point as it doesn’t recognise any phone numbers. Even removing the first zero of the number doesn’t work. Been great for years but hopeless now. Great shame. The paid option is probably great though..Version: 8.2
✓ Export/Import - black list numberHi, I wish you could an amazing extra features of exporting & importing blacklist numbers in personal entries. Thank you..Version: 8.26
✓ HiyaI’ve just downloaded this app. I’ve given it 3 stars to start with as I would like to view this app in action. I will provide updates as needed. I’ve already blocked at least 4 numbers & reported these same numbers as spam. I’m looking forward to learning more about this app & how it will assist me in stopping these awful harassing “spam/fraudulent calls; if not at least slow the number of calls I receive daily. In the past I’ve received as many as 15 calls in one day. I receive just as many texts messages (some of which call me by a name that isn’t now or will ever be my name)...I’ve repeatedly asked to be removed from “ALL CONTACT LIST” and I block them immediately. The scammers get around this by sending texts out to 20 people or so with 19 numbers I’ve already blocked and and the 20th number is buried far below will be the one number that hasn’t been blocked... I can’t tell you how frustrating this is. And please, don’t get me started on the “Fake IRS” callers.... So, I’m crossing my fingers that this app will live up to its name & provide much needed service... Ahhh....It’s the little things in life. 🤗 One day...Oh!! One day may they all go away. Update: SO FAR SO GOOD!!! Thank you Hiya for providing this service. This app has already stopped a lot of unwanted calls... 5 Stars for sure!!!.Version: 6.28
✓ HiyaUsing the hiya app has definitely been useful it’s amazing how many calls it’s identified as scams since using it I hardly get any unwanted calls now gone from several a day to one every week or two would definitely recommend it.Version: 5.18
✓ ThanksTried this for about a week now notice I stopped getting called by the cold call marketing straight away thank you as a night shift worker I can get some sleep and still have my phone on for my family and friends can call me in an emergency will be looking at the upgrade next year to stop the other calls I don’t want to get.Version: 7.7
✓ A+ app to notify & block extortion, threatening, spam, fraud, telemarketer, & spoofing phone callsI was at my wits end with frustration over the extreme frequency of extortion, threatening, spam, fraud, telemarketer, & spoofing phone calls. The phone company would/could not help. Hiya has been a stress-reliever. It notifies me when a phone call is one of the above. I just don’t pick it up. Afterwards, I block the caller and then mark the type of phone call on the Hiya app. This is optional, but it helps others in the same way their notifications have helped me. There is also a choice to block these callers rather than just warn me. For a trial period I wanted to see how well & how often I was warned, and how many problem calls I was actually receiving. A lot! I have now just switched to blocking all of these calls. I want to thank the makers of Hiya, and also a great big thank you to others who have sent feedback regarding the types of each specific phone call they had received. It’s a group effort, and a frustration-reliever. Thank you..Version: 5.9
✓ It ain’t what it used to be- and getting worse.This app has discontinued many free features and made them premium, with a subscription. But the parts that are remaining do not work well. I have the setting to Block Scam and Fraud, and Spam calls- but it doesn’t. At least, not all the time. I don’t know if it actually blocks any. I still get them, and there is no icon warning that it’s a scam or fraud. Just got another one today, with no indication- but after the call and voicemail, I checked the number on Hiya- there was a months worth (over 45) of reports and comments left, all reporting the same scam. If they haven’t picked up that number then they need to figure out why not. The listing on my recent calls still shows nothing, no comment, no icon. Update, weeks later: I had two calls yesterday, one of which I missed and one I declined, from the same number. No indication what they were. I checked later on Hiya and found that they were “debt collectors”- only after I checked did the icon for that appear in my recent calls list for this number. Hiya is always open on my phone, so even if it’s a recent number it should be updated. Another update: telemarketers’ calls are not labeled as such. I’m not sure if it’s worth keeping this app on my phone- it hasn’t “warned” of anything, but I get voicemail messages from telemarketers, since I don’t answer calls from unknown callers..Version: 5.18
✓ Does *Exactly* What It Says on the TinI recently bought a new phone & out of nowhere I was getting spammy ‘call centre’ nuisance calls 4-5 times a day, everyday. Since installing Hiya on the subscription plan I’ve quite literally had not even a single nuisance call. The Hiya app quietly gets on in the background, working its magic. The block lists are continually updated bringing peace of mind that the Hiya crew are taking care of business. For me, my mobile number is personal for family & close friends. Hiya’s enabled me to keep it that way. Thanks Hiya!.Version: 8.13
✓ Helps Me Block Them Out ! They are not Business they are Self Seeking Money TakersWell from the fact that the Telco’s don't do any thing to help you ( I was told I could Change my Number, well my number is a Business number ) HIYA Blocks Those Narcissistic Scammers who call every day ... The Scammers have large Networked Groups. I Block one every day. Some try calling again and again ... Thank You to you HIYA they now only go through to my message service as they don't want proof of calling you ,they hang up..Version: 6.9
✓ Not good as advertisedI have been using this app for last 6 months, I didn’t find useful as I never got stopped getting scam calls. Today it is worst as I have my number skimmed and started receiving calls from my own number. I suggest lookout for other app, not Hiya for sure. Total waste of my money.Version: 6.26
✓ So far I am impressedI was complaining about all the scam\telemarketer\political calls to my cell lately and a colleague recommended this app. He has the Premium subscription and showed me enough that I was very hopeful and installed it that same day. That was a week ago so it’s too soo. For 5 stars, but I am planning to try the Premium subscription as soon as I finish this review! At first I thought the app was doing nothing, but then I started noticing missed calls after barely a single ring & realized that was the app warning me and blocking calls. Today alone it blocked 7 calls, none of which were legitimate calls. I’m looking forward to callerID on all these with Premium. You can look them up manually with the free version, but I think you get significantly more detail with Premium, as well as comments from others on what each number is (e.g. “they tried to sell me health insurance”) This app is pretty much plug and play except a few settings like enabling Neighborhood protection and those a user friendly. I feel like I could give this to my non-techie mom and not only would it reduce my worries about some Ahole scamming her, but she wouldn’t be constantly calling me for “tech support”. The only negative so far is that it doesn’t block texts, which is something I’d pay for! Hint, hint, developers... :) Do yourself a favor and try this app today!!.Version: 5.13
✓ Worked a treatReceived 30+ calls in 2 hours sister told me to download this app and haven’t got one since now +1 month so thanks team keep up the good work.Version: 5.23
✓ ProblematicTurn on call block for this app in settings as advised and I stop being able to get calls from my father..Version: 8.23
✓ Great appWow I can answer my phone again. It does the screening for me..Version: 8.25
✓ Works if you buy it?This seems to reduce unwanted calls and one can block calls for free anyway, would consider subscribing but the annual subscription is a little high, it allows you to feedback spammers so hopefully the database improves I don’t know actually if it stops anyone though if you don’t pay! If you click protect you have to pay..Version: 6.10
✓ HiyaThis app has saved me a lot of grief from spam calls and texts. I would not be without it..Version: 8.4
✓ Everything You NeedThis is definitely one tool you should have in your box as this is so helpful understanding what's a fraud and scam avoiding any loses. Premium version is new to me but paid out for yearly membership as I feel this is going to be very helpful for the future..Version: 6.2
