User Reviews

Users find Scameter+ easy to use and valuable for identifying scam numbers, with functionality helpful especially to elderly users. However, multiple reviews report serious issues: the app excessively drains battery and overheats phones, causes network connection problems, has unreliable reporting features (notably OTP input and registration), frequently fails search operations, and lacks convenient automatic database updates. Some users also criticize its user experience and suspect it might not be mature or professionally developed yet.

Pros

Easy to use interface
Provides useful information about scam numbers and websites
Allows reporting of suspected scam calls (when functional)
Helps users, especially the elderly, to warn about suspected scam calls
Scanned results match with other commonly used scam apps

Cons

Significant battery drain and causes phone overheating
Issues with app connectivity leading to blocked internet access
Problems with reporting functions, including inability to enter OTP or register as reporter
Search button frequently fails or returns errors (e.g., 504 Gateway Time-Out)
Frequent and inconvenient database update prompts without an automatic update option

Recent reviews

Blocked my data (initially thought it was my own network) and apps said no connection. until after uninstalled this app, my data and apps suddenly started working again. Also 43% of battery being used by app is a bit ridiculous.
