Pros include blocking spam/call screening and easy controls, with some users praising features like automatic hang-up on scam calls. The most common downsides are unreliable voicemail blocking and disconnects, unknown numbers bypassing the blacklist, false positives blocking legitimate numbers, intrusive ads/forced sign-up with questionable premium changes, and occasional critical bugs that block or hinder basic calling. Overall, it can filter spam for some users, but reliability and UX issues around voicemail handling and feature consistency undermine its usefulness. ### Pros - Blocks spam/call screening (robocalls) - Easy-to-use blocking controls - Some users report features like automatic hang-up/disconnect to handle spam - Described by some reviewers as the most helpful or best-suited spam-filtering app - Has labeling/screening options for calls (spam labeling) ### Cons - Voicemail blocking/disconnect not reliably working: blocked calls still leave voicemails or call quality is affected - Unknown or unlisted numbers still get through; rotating numbers or weak community blacklist reduce effectiveness - Blocking legitimate numbers (e.g., bank calls) or essential contacts occurs for some users - Ads and forced sign-up practices; premium features sometimes unavailable or removed; customer support issues - Critical bugs prevent answering calls or degrade basic calling functionality (e.g., app blocks calls or fails to answer) ## Similar extensions and apps - [SmartBlocker: Block Spam Call](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.smartblocker.callerid.blockspam) — 538,894 users - [Caller ID: Spam Blocker](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.callerid.callapp.sms.spamblocker) — 651,858 users - [Spam Call Blocker - Caller ID](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.callerid.blockspam.numbertracker.app) — 2,836,518 users, 3.17 / 5 - [Caller ID & Smart Spam Blocker](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.callerid.spamblocker.pro) — 3,147,805 users, 3.64 / 5 - [Phone Call Block - Block Spam](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.callerid.number.lookup) — 5,250,673 users - [Caller ID: Spam Call Blocker](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.callerid.spam.call.blocker) — 3,180 users - [Blocker: Spam Call & SMS ID](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.smartblock.spamcall.blocker.pro) — 34,300 users - [Caller ID: Spam Call & Block](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.spam.block.call.mc) — 178,559 users, 4.41 / 5 - [CallArmor: Caller ID & Spam](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.call.truecallerIdspam) — 94,160 users - [CallApp: Caller ID & Block](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.callapp.contacts) — 430,336,361 users, 4.27 / 5 - [Smart Blocker: Call ID App](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.callerid.spamblocker.call.message.app) — 2,359,676 users, 4.20 / 5 - [SafeCall: Caller ID & Blocker](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.hli.safecall.callerid.callblocker) — 59,142 users --- Source: [Chrome-Stats](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.flexaspect.android.everycallcontrol)
