Review summary

Users praise strong, silent blocking of calls and texts and good compatibility with rooted setups, especially on Android 14, plus ongoing developer support. The main drawbacks are privacy/permission requirements, the kill mode causing audible ringing, licensing issues, device-specific SMS blocking problems, and intrusive notifications. Overall it is seen as a leading, feature-rich blocker with some reliability and policy caveats.

Pros

Highly effective at blocking calls and SMS, including silent blocking, without replacing the default messaging app.
Good compatibility with rooted devices and LSPosed, including Android 14, offering robust blocking on custom setups.
Strong spam and unknown-number blocking, reducing nuisance calls from non-contacts.
Active developer support and frequent updates.
Widely regarded as one of the most advanced call and SMS blockers on the market.

Cons

Privacy concerns and permission requirements, particularly Contacts, which can prevent the app from launching.
Kill blocking mode rings briefly before blocking, causing others to hear the call.
Licensing and license persistence issues, including not being licensed and licenses not retained after reinstall.
SMS blocking not working on certain devices or configurations, such as some Samsung devices with LSPosed.
Notification behavior is intrusive; users want optional or reduced notifications.

2025-12-04	Ad*****	Not privacy respecting, it refuses to launch if I deny Contacts permission. I don't need it to know my contacts just to block hidden or blacklisted numbers. "Mute" method doesn't work, the phone still rings. "Kill" option drops the call quickly and silently, seems to be the best one if rooted but without Xposed, I think my repeat spammer has finally given up on calling me.

2025-11-29	DE*****	This application is not bad . But when I install it first many types of call blocking is available like mute , reject, radiosignal , call. on hold , call processing etc . Due to some problem I uninstall this application from my mobile and after that I again download this application but many of these rejection mode is not available. please do the needful at your earliest and obliged.
