1. [R2] Verizon Call Filter 4/5 · US Wait for keeping out pesky calls: It is a true work of art to keep out the pesky calls. I love it.
2. [R8] Verizon Call Filter 5/5 · US Spam calls: I love how the app recognizes spam, very rarely it isn't spam
3. [R4] Verizon Call Filter 1/5 · US Allows spam calls and blocks important contacts: I get dozens of spam calls every day. This app blocks 5% to 15% of them. It also, despite my best efforts, blocks the alarm monitoring company for the building I manage. I NEED to get those calls, so I am uninstalling this app.
4. [R61] Mr. Number Lookup & Call Block 1/5 · US can’t get it to work: i can’t seem to get the app to work and when i click on the help button it freezes. i had this app a long time ago and don’t remember having issues. i feel like i just waisted my money on this app because i’ve gotten no use from it and no way to get help.
5. [R15] Verizon Call Filter 3/5 · US Clunky: Confusing when downloaded. Had to use ChatGPT to figure out the settings on my phone.
6. [R9] Verizon Call Filter 3/5 · US Works but crashes: The app works in the background and reports calls accurately, however if I try to open the app to make changes, it crashes immediately. So I’m unable to make adjustments for certain calls that are being mistakenly blocked. But it is blocking or routing calls to Voicemail that are spam.
7. [R63] Mr. Number Lookup & Call Block 3/5 · US Changes disappointing: This was a great App but in the current version you cannot paste a number that calls you. Instead, you have to manually type it into the App. Very disappointing.
8. [R96] Mr. Number Lookup & Call Block 3/5 · GB How ?: Instructions not very clear Features not explained Had to go to internet for 3rd party info Still not entirely sure what I’m paying for It’s well regarded by reviewers.......
9. [R6] Verizon Call Filter 3/5 · US Getting more Spam calls: The App is missing 75-80% of the spam calls now, even on the upgraded plan.
10. [R19] Verizon Call Filter 1/5 · US Spam calls: I am continually being harassed by calls regarding a loan or tax relief, 8-10 calls a day for the past month. All recorded messages are not even a live person, recording messages have a different name and number EVERY DAY
11. [R79] Mr. Number Lookup & Call Block 1/5 · US Does NOT live up to its reputation: App DOES NOT CATCH ALL SPAM CALLS APP and is annoying me when I have reported and blocked the same number multiple times
12. [R119] Mr. Number Lookup & Call Block 1/5 · US Waste of time and money: Literally this app does absolutely nothing besides, tell you if it’s a personal line or not it doesn’t block spam calls nothing literally I paid for the prescription for absolutely no reason like since six in the morning I’ve had 30 spam calls and this app supposed to be blocking them or filter them from coming through literally does do anything at all waste of time and m
13. [R55] Verizon Call Filter 2/5 · US This should be free: This app should be free. Verizon always nickel and dimeing their customers
14. [R113] Mr. Number Lookup & Call Block 1/5 · US Lies-not free: You should not have an app that’s “free” to download only to then have to pay to use it. Why does the App Store allow this? Such a waste of time.
15. [R67] Mr. Number Lookup & Call Block 1/5 · US DOESNT DO WHATS CLAIMED: This app is advertised as a reverse lookup number but all it shows is a suggested place that int even right. There’s no help navigating or understanding this pointless app. DONT BOTHER WASTING YOUR MONEY
16. [R53] Verizon Call Filter 1/5 · US More spam than ever: Here’s how this app works: I report calls as spam. Verizon lets them through again. I change settings to “all risk levels.” Verizon blocks calls from people in my contacts. My pets’ vet, not a 1-800 or VOIP number, is blocked. I contact support, they tell me the only solution is to email them every number I DON’T want the app to block. Apparently saving numbers to my con
17. [R103] Mr. Number Lookup & Call Block 1/5 · US Frustrated User: My caller ID is wrong and I have reached out multiple times with no response
18. [R1] Verizon Call Filter 1/5 · US No Change: Hasn’t done anything at all, no activity after a month of use.
19. [R7] Verizon Call Filter 1/5 · US DOES NOT WORK: This call filter app does not work. I am paying for the premium and still get numerous spam calls a day. I also will still get calls from numbers I have already blocked in the app and it has blocked numbers that I have on my contact list. Just a waste of money.
