## Description

Call Blocker is a lightweight, free app that instantly identifies caller names and blocks unwanted calls, telemarketers, and robocalls. With a global phone number database and smart blacklist, it auto-blocks known spammers, shows caller ID in real time, and displays caller names in your call history. Features include missed-call reminders, reverse phone lookup, and multiple block modes so you can manage unwanted contacts easily.

Designed for stability and low resource use, Call Blocker also offers Do Not Disturb scheduling, an editable Calls Blacklist, and a smart call log for quick lookups. The app never uploads your phonebook for public indexing. If you want an effective, easy-to-use solution to stop spam calls and know who’s calling, Call Blocker provides robust caller identification and flexible blocking tools.

## Review summary

Many users find the app effective at blocking unknown numbers and showing who’s calling, with non-contacts blocking and a free model as key positives, especially on newer devices. However, reliability is a major issue: blocking can stop working over time, requiring reinstall, and some features fail (DND, area-code filtering). The user experience is hampered by intrusive pop-ups and overlays. Compatibility gaps on older devices are also commonly reported. Overall, it helps some users but has notable reliability and UX problems.

### Pros

- Blocks unknown numbers/spam effectively (often ends calls or blocks voicemails).
- Blocks non-contacts by default, reducing unwanted calls.
- Shows the caller's number / notifies you when a block occurs.
- Free to use and works on newer devices (e.g., newer phones).

### Cons

- Blocking is inconsistent and can stop working over time, sometimes requiring reinstall.
- Intrusive pop-ups and overlays that interrupt usage and take over the screen.
- Certain features (Do Not Disturb, area-code/starts-with blocking) are not reliably effective.
- Compatibility issues on older devices; works on newer phones but not on older ones.
