Reviews

Disappointed so far

Not stopped a single telemarketing call. Won’t show what they think it is. Go into app, it tells that it’s a telemarketing call. What’s the benefit?

Just get hiya

I thought this app might be something useful from [email protected] but it turns out to be powered by Hiya. Sounds like it’s a paid feature to block calls, that’s free on hiya.

Helps some

This apps helps some but I still get a good number of telemarketing calls and even though I have blocked some numbers, the call still comes through. I wish AT&T would address this problem without having to pay for a better app.

I know it is called call protect but what does it do?

Concept is great but in practice this does nothing. Nothing is blocked and I keep getting more calls even in numbers that I have manually in the app blocked before or does nothing. So what does it actually do other than take space on my phone?

Not identifying Robo calls

App is populating the unknown number names but identifying the robo calls properly

---

Robo calls

The calls never use the same number twice so it makes this app useless. When will this ever stop???

No number spoofing protection!

I paying $8.00 per month to have two phones protected and still spoofed numbered callers get buy trying to sell me medical braces for Medicare! It hasn’t blocked a single number yet. I must block callers manually. This is no different than the iPhone manual call blocking already part of my phone’s iOS. This is just another AT&T money shakedown...just empty promises of what they should be doing for free 🤨. I intend to cancel it after another month of poor performance😖

It should be free

This in itself is a scam. These micro transactions are what’s wrong with providers today. You pay for service and then to stop the spam calls you have to pay more monthly fees. It’s an awful system and company providers should offer these types of service free. It’s trash.

---

Worthless

Worthless app unless you have a soul contract with the devil, um I mean AT&T. Unusable if your number isn’t with them. AT&T are liars, cheaters, and this app is just further proof of their business ethics!

---

Totally surprised by other reviews

This app has filtered close to zero calls for me. I guess it works for others but I’ve found it to be utterly useless. Dropping this and going back to leaving Do Not Disturb on all the time.
