## Review summary

User reviews show Cloaked can significantly reduce spam calls and protect privacy through real-time screening and data-exposure scanning. However, recurring issues appear across many reviews: bugs and instability after updates; incomplete data removal with limited broker coverage; cancellation and billing problems involving automated support; VPN and call guard features unreliable; and inconsistent customer support. Overall, while many users value the protection offered, reliability and support challenges hinder satisfaction.

### Pros

- Significant reduction in spam calls and texts; users report going from dozens per day to just a few per week.
- Real-time spam call screening / call guard effectively blocks or allows calls as they come through.
- Data exposure scanning identifies many exposures, with removal happening behind the scenes to improve privacy.
- Responsive support in some cases when issues arise.

### Cons

- Persistent bugs and instability after updates (spinning wheels, crashes, slow or incomplete loading).
- Slow or incomplete data removal with limited coverage of data brokers.
- Cancellation and billing issues, often with bot-based support and difficulty ending service.
- VPN and call protection features unreliable (VPN disconnects; calls aren’t scanned or logged properly).
- Support quality inconsistencies and unhelpful automated responses.
