The app works well in theory. I had technical issues where using this app as the primary phone app (which is required for the app to work fully) caused my not not be notified and miss calls from my contacts. Now, you can white list numbers, and these contacts were all whitelisted. Yet the calls still went immediately to voicemail with no notification to me, other than them texting me and telling me they called.

Works for the home phone, not the mobile. I'm still getting pestered about my non-existent auto warranty. I need my phone for work. Thankfully, I took a month-to-month plan, and figured it out after the first payment. The other downside is there is no money back if the app doesn't work. It's funny how the free version works and the pay version doesn't.

This used to work but not anymore. It recently updated and I had to re-register my phone number in the app and set up the few options it has. Easy enough. I have it set to send unknown numbers to voicemail. After that I now get more calls than before and none of them go to voicemail. I've received 11 calls in the last 5 hours and only 1 of them was legit. Time to stop paying for this one...

Very disappointing after a great start. Worked wonderful when I first downloaded the app, catching many scam calls. Inthe last few months my T-Mobile phone advises me of more scammers than the app. Plus, it is impossible to get in touch with anyone at Nomorobo. I gave filled out forms on their web site as well as sending emails to their support desk for 3 weeks with not even one reply.

Worked great at first. Blocked all spam/fraud/spoofed calls wonderfully. Decided to subscribe. Worked great for a month or two, and now it doesn't stop a single call. Being bombarded just as bad as before the app if not worse, and it doesn't catch a single one. Had to cancel. Wish it was as good as it once was.

worked for the first week I had it, now I average at least 3 robocalls a day... they are easy enough to spot, given the area code of my phone number is different from the area code for nearly everyone who calls me. regularly getting robocalls that aren't detected and I have to manually hit block, but it never seems to learn. Also when it does catch one (once in a blue moon) it just goes to voice mail and they can still keep calling and leaving messages. Not worth the $19 subscription fee.

Used to be excellent; now it's almost a waste of money. Either the robocallers got a whole new set of phone numbers that are in none of your databases, or you guys are slipping BIG TIME!!! What's the point of paying $2/month if half the calls still get through?!? According to your app 59% of my calls are robocalls, and you're letting WAAAAAY too many slip through. It's gotten so bad, that I'm even thinking about trying a different app instead!

Zero Support. I have this app on two different phones. On both phones, I've asked repeatedly for a better way to move from monthly billing to annual. The only choice is to cancel the subscription and then restart it but every time I do, it reverts back to monthly billing. On one phone the app works well and I am able to report numbers. On the second phone, every single time I try to report a number, the app fails. I have submitted this issue 12 to 15 times and I get no response.

Cancelled subscription as the service ko longer seems to work. I am getting multiple robocalls per day, often in the form of a neighborhood spoof attack, and reporting them does nothing. I keep getting calls from the same neighborhood of compromised phones, for multiple days in a row, and all of these calls are just let through, eating up my time. Updates to the app are only "small visual changes" with nothing done to bolster the app's core functionality. Seems the dev team doesn't care anymore.

I'm glad I didn't read all of the bad reviews before installing this app, because I doubt I would have installed it. As it turns out, I couldn't be happier with the service provided by the app, and will gladly continue paying for the subscription. Rejecting, blocking, and reporting spam and robocalls is easy, but I rarely even have one of those calls get through. I recently got a new phone (Google Pixel 8 Pro), and the app works just as well on it as it did on my old Samsung S21. Try it!!

Don't download!! I purchased this a while ago to aid in stopping or lessen spam calls & unknown numbers. While it did work for the first year I got it, and then that was about it. Now, I'm being plagued with spam calls left and right again, & I'm paying for something that should be doing blocking them. The customer service is a joke. They ask you for information that they should already have, and now I've been informed to "report the service" from their app to reinform them, apparently.

I remember when I first got this app and paid the $2 a month which is I figured pretty reasonable, I had good experiences. Now, it crashes every day. Every time I get a phone call. I have deleted the app and reinstalled it. And that changed nothing. I hope they get their stuff straight, and the app begins to work correctly again. Otherwise they will be out my two bucks.

I've tried a lot of different apps to help stop all the robocalls, however, this app has been the best. It's easy to use and extremely reliable! I went from (wish I was joking) 10-15 calls a day to 4-6 a week. It's nice to be able to turn my ringtone back on! I like how the app doesn't completely take over my phone log like other apps, too. Love the price! If you guys create a text message spam blocker app I'd be more than willing to try it!

I signed up for the app one year ago. For the first few months or so it worked well, but I've noticed in recent months that it was missing a large number of junk calls. So, I decided to review the call logs for the last 6 months. Over 6 months, Nomorobo had an 80% failure rate (it only blocked 20% of incoming junk calls). In the last 3 months it had an 88% failure rate, and in the last 30 days a 90% failure rate. Clearly something is slipping or they're not adapting to newer tactics. For some, $2/mo. for something that blocks even 10% of junk calls may be worth it. However, given that Netflix is able to offer a basic subscription for $9/mo. with the extremely high content costs they pay, the $2/mo for this unreliable and simple service seems outrageous by comparison. If this service were free, incurred a one-time cost, or was even a bit cheaper, I'd have a higher regard for it.

It did seem to block a few annoying calls. I especially liked that it seemed to cut down on the local spoofed calls that I received. However, I had to delete the app and cancel the subscription because: 1) There was no log of calls blocked. It was impossible to tell if it was working well and blocking numbers that it should block, or if it was also blocking important numbers that I wanted to receive. I had a couple of instances of voicemails received from people when my phone never rang, leading me to suspect that Nomorobo sent some good numbers to voicemail. 2) Having the app installed eliminates the option to block numbers and report spam manually by long pressing the phone number in the Recents menu and selecting from the pop-up menu. Since it only blocks robocalls supposedly, it doesn't block other numbers that it can't identify correctly but are nevertheless spam. There's a report feature within the app, but it's not nearly as convenient or integrated.

Honestly does not work that well. In the years that I have paid for this service, it has let through easily 5x more spam calls than it blocked. Don't let them fool you that "Max" is any better. They really need to add a feature to automatically block or screen all calls from unknown numbers in XXX area code. I would re-subscribe if they add this.

Before I've even tried the app, I'm being forced to agree to pay $20 for a year of use. The best part is that the app shows it costing free/year. And a 14 day trial that automatically charges you is BS, they're hoping you'll forget to cancel. Guess I'll just remove the app and move on.
