User Reviews

User reviews show a mixed experience. Some users report strong spam reduction and quick fixes, but many cite inconsistent blocking, bugs after updates, and poor support. Some accounts note it blocks legitimate messages or interferes with iMessage/carrier texts, plus usability gaps like difficulty editing blocks and pausing protection. Overall, reliability and support quality are the main concerns, while a subset of users still experiences meaningful spam relief.

Pros

Significant reduction in spam and notifications for many users when it works.
Ability to block content via customizable keywords/phrases.
Instant stopping of spam in some cases after activation.
Some users report responsive customer support that fixes issues quickly.

Cons

Spam still gets through despite blocking rules; blocking is inconsistent.
App becomes buggy or stops working after updates.
Blocking can disrupt legitimate messages or carrier/iMessage texts (false positives and cross-app issues).
Support responsiveness is inconsistent; difficulty contacting support; some reviews imply scam concerns.
Usability/feature gaps: no pause option, editing/deleting blocks is finicky, and subscription management issues.

Recent reviews

This app is better than nothing but still lets texts from area codes I’ve blocked through occasionally. Very frustrating. I’m bailing and trying another app.
