This app was great but lately it won't allow me to do almost everything that you're supposed to. It won't add numbers to the allow list or the Voicemail list. Plus it never knows the name of the number that you look up, it always says UNKNOWN. It continuously says that it is either updating, verifying, or subscription activating but it never does. It's so aggravating

there's no dark mode.. app hardly works very buggy attempting to report calls 9 times outta 10 fails. pointless. I have every option available on my phone to block spam, and still it's constant. I never answer and they just keep calling. there should be more options to deal with calls as well. really should fix this app, if it worked half the time, that would be nice, especially since this app is from a reputable company get with the times

It blocks maybe 25% of scam calls. The rest get through on a regular basis. The fact is, scammers are constantly changing the ways they do things. And if an app doesn't constantly change to keep up with them, it quickly becomes obsolete. It seems this is the case with scam shield. Also, the reverse lookup isn't available with the premium version. It's always been grayed out. Just not available. Which is a huge letdown. I'd suggest going with something else.

It works better than I expected. I appreciate the ability to either "block" a number when I'm sure it was spam or "send to voicemail" when I'm not sure. If they call again and don't leave a message or leave a spammy message I can block future calls, but if they leave a non-spam message I can return the call and mark it okay for future calls. This app saves me time and annoyance. As far as I can tell it hasn't made any false positive spam designations. Well worth it.

Doesn't seem to block anything. Not very intuitive. Do I add scam cam calls to list or is it automatic. They're still coming in and its not clear where they can be added. UPDATE 1+ Year later: Since T-Mobile joined with another major provider I had hoped that this app would have improved. But while it is suggested that the protection it offers is free, it is still virtually worthless unless you upgrade to the paid service. Still rates a 'zero' in my book.

It works well, but sometimes too well. I was waiting for a call giving me an access code (no option for getting it by text). Never got the call, even trying multiple times and had to resort to getting the code by snail mail. I happened to check the blocked call list, and found several blocked calls from around when I made the request. If you're waiting for an important call and you don't know the originating number, disable the app until your call comes.
