User reviews

Users praise the Call Blocker app for its simplicity, effectiveness at blocking unwanted calls, and ability to manage blacklists and whitelists without needing to be the default call handler. However, multiple reviews report issues with the whitelist not working properly unless contacts are formatted precisely, outgoing call blocking failing, and the app consuming significant RAM. Users also request additional SMS blocking features and express concerns about mandatory access to contacts. Despite some limitations, it is favored for protecting against spam calls and parental control use cases.

Pros

Simple and easy to use interface
Effectively blocks unwanted or spam calls
Does not require setting as default call or SMS app
Allows both blacklist and whitelist management
Affordable with an option to remove ads

Cons

Whitelist feature is unreliable or requires exact formatting like '+' for country codes
Outgoing call blocking does not always work correctly
Consumes noticeable RAM due to persistent service running
Lacks SMS blocking features and ability to send SMS to blocked callers
Requires access to contacts which some users find intrusive

It's either all or nothing. I have my entire contacts white listed, still blocks them.

Has good features but use a lot of ram memory because keep a service running, this app is not set as the default call anti spam app that is standard nowadays and use the old method, need option to disable this persistent service. And please add a sms blocker using number or words with option to white list sms by words.
