Features & Capabilities

SMS Filter+ is a safe, efficient, and professional SMS filter. You can customize your own filters to block spam and MMS messages from unknown numbers. It automatically classifies incoming messages to help you avoid disturbances during work, gaming, or reading.

Privacy matters: all verification activities run in a closed, secure on-device process with no network required, and SMS Filter+ does not read, collect, or tag your messages. Build filters by phone number, text, keywords, start/end with keywords, or regular expressions, and the app will classify incoming messages into Allow, Promotion, Transaction, or Junk, with notifications and a badge when appropriate.

User Reviews

Regex-based filtering is powerful and can block spam from numbers and emails, but reliability and cross-device syncing are recurring problems. Users report case-sensitivity bugs, inconsistent filtering, and difficult rule management, along with billing confusion. Overall, it's valuable for power users but has notable reliability and workflow drawbacks.
Pros
  • Regex-based filtering is powerful and enables complex, customizable spam rules.
  • Filters can target both the sender (phone numbers and email addresses) and the message content for flexible control.
  • Reportedly effective at blocking spam where other apps fail, when configured correctly.
Cons
  • Regex behavior is inconsistent: case sensitivity persists even when non-case-sensitive is enabled, and patterns can be buggy or non-standard.
  • Filtering is not reliably effective: many reviews report spam still getting through or being misclassified as junk.
  • iCloud / cross-device syncing is broken: changes on iPhone don’t reliably sync to iPad.
  • Rule setup and management are cumbersome: configuring filters is tedious and there’s no convenient backup/restore mechanism.
  • Billing confusion and unexpected charges: users report subscription-like charges after initial purchase.
  • Loss of rules when changing devices or formatting: no easy backup/restore for dozens of custom rules.

Valued addition to messaging function

I noticed a charge of $1.07 after my original purchase. Is this supposed to be a monthly subscription? I did not see that when I bought it. How does one cancel this monthly billing?
