User Reviews
Pros
- Reduces spam/robocalls effectively.
- Whitelist feature lets you allow your contacts and block everyone else.
- Temporary numbers for outbound calls to protect your number.
Cons
- It blocks legitimate calls, including whitelisted contacts, causing missed calls and voicemail issues.
- Reliability and stability problems (crashes, freezes, 'app stuck', uninstall issues).
- Verification/sign-up problems (invalid codes, can't complete verification).
- iOS 16 compatibility issues (call forwarding disabled; setup/verification broken).
- Poor UI/UX design (amateurish UI, non-intuitive layout).
Recent reviews
I've used the Firewall for about six months now, and in some ways, it's 'too good' (despite having different levels, I've found there are really two; the first doesn't block much at all. The other goes to the other extreme and blocks spammers AND pretty much EVERYONE else.
The UI is amateurish; it's not designed for ease of use (seriously, who in their right mind would take the limited screen size and say, 'Right, I think we should lay the phone's buttons in two vertical columns. So what if we've put ample space (both vertically and horizontally)? I guess the people who've made this have never used an iPhone because with the digits as they are, unless you have a number which only uses 2-3 close-together digits, you'll spend the time cursing as you scroll the numbers up and down. It's pathetic.
When I have an unfamiliar number, I'll usually copy and paste it into an app that lets me use a temporary number (such as Firewall). The only problem is that not once in six months has the copy-paste feature worked. Every single time, I've got to remember either the digits (and that can be up to approximately 15 or so) or be curious and for a number I'm pretty certain is garbage, to begin with, I'm just curious.
I've used (what's lately been known as) TrueCaller for the past few years simply because its all-around features are perfect for me.
Though they're not perfect, I still check every once in a while to see if there are any other options for a terrific phone spam/text blocking service with a 'concierge' (AI attendant who answers my number and gives a mobile phone a more polished 'front desk'-like feel).
One last note (directly to the people behind Firewall); I was shocked a few free minutes ago when I decided to write this, and I typed into the app store, 'Firewall', and there's a (LONG!) list of apps - many of them also calling themselves simply Firewall.
If I were you, in addition to some 'under-the-hood'-work and fine-tuning, I'd seriously consider either copyrighting your name, OR, come up with one which is catchy, easy to remember and distinguish from the 'pack'. I'll come back some time to see if you've lost your 'training wheels and baby teeth', and have grown up.

After years of use the app just stopped working. Immediately crashes when opened. Having to go through manually turning off call forwarding since all of my calls are now being dropped. Original review: Godsend Switched to this from another blocker for whitelisting mode and am very happy with the choice.

Worked great for about 3 days. I began receiving texts from my contacts saying they have been calling and were blocked. I had to disable the app to get any calls. I contacted support and it took 2 days to get the response to delete the app and reinstall it. I had already did that and it didn’t work. No follow up support so deleted and replaced it. Must not need the business!
