## Description

**Call Control: #1 Call Blocker** blocks spam and robocalls, helping you reclaim your time. With smart blocking, you can automatically filter known spammers, robocallers, and scam numbers, while a personal blocklist lets you stop calls from anyone you choose. Features include silent blocking, reverse lookup to identify unknown numbers, and compatibility with STIR/SHAKEN for improved accuracy. It also works on home phones, so your business line stays clear too.

**Privacy-first by design:** Call Control does not store or share your contacts. The app offers optional premium subscriptions for enhanced blocking, with transparent terms, and easy account management. Learn more about permissions and privacy in the linked terms and privacy pages.

## Review summary

Overall, users praise Call Control for blocking robocalls and its scam-score feature, plus loyalty from long-time users. However, recurring complaints about poor blocking effectiveness, stagnant maintenance, and high subscription costs undermine value. The app often requires manual work to report and block numbers, and there are reports of misblocking legitimate contacts and voicemail issues. Some users also note missing features like area-code blocking and compatibility gaps with newer iOS versions.

### Pros

- Effectively blocks robocalls and spam (primary benefit cited by many users).
- Scam score/detection feature helps identify and block suspected scams.
- Long-term users report reliability and a favorable grandfathered pricing.
- Convenient blocking of unknown numbers / quick blocking of unwanted calls.

### Cons

- Inconsistent blocking performance; many reviews report ongoing spam calls getting through.
- Outdated maintenance; infrequent updates and reported iOS compatibility issues.
- Premium subscription despite limited/blocking effectiveness and high cost.
- Requires manual blocking and user input rather than automatic blocking.
- Risk of blocking legitimate numbers or causing voicemail issues (e.g., missed calls, voicemail disruptions).
