Ripoff
This app is labeled as working on my iPad in the App Store; however, there is no way to enable this app in the Messages settings of a 2018 iPad Pro. I reached out to the developer for assistance. They responded with copy-pasted instructions on how to get a refund which do not work. Now I’m out the cost of the app. Buyer beware.
Love this app!
I’ve been using this app for years and I love it. It works!!! You can tell it what words to filter into a spam text folder and it’s easy to delete the trash and not have to be constantly interrupted with dumb phishing attempts, political begging and scammers. Five stars all the way, and worth every penny. I appreciate that the developer isn’t in it to siphon off my data, too. Thanks SMS Spam Stopper!
Doesn’t filter
Hi just purchased the soft for filter spam sms from phone not listed on my contact. I add the number to block list and isn’t stopped the sms from unwanted caller. Have ios 16.3 Will ask refund
I set enable and all what needs, know how to work with filters. I did many tests before writing the review
Maybe its not supported in ios 16.3
Incredible. This app really works.
I’m blown away by how well this app works. After installing it, I spent a few minutes adding words to the blocked list based upon words in the spam texts I was receiving most often (usually political). Since downloading the app several months ago, I’ve only received 2 spam texts! The ability to customize and backup the spam filter is a total game changer. Thank you for this app!
My new hero.
I was so stinking frustrated by the constant spam. It was making me furious and there was no way to stop it. I installed this app and they disappeared. Frankly it worked so well that I didn’t know for sure it was doing anything, I thought maybe there had been some other solution that finally got me off the irritating political spam list. I just looked today at the new iOS junk folder feature. This app had taken care of 70 spam texts in the last couple weeks. Amazing. SO worth it.
IT JUST WORKS👍🏾💯😁
I had been receiving annoying text messages from all types of illicit places and it was driving me crazy. It’s one thing to receive those type of messages when you frequent certain sites but when you don’t it’s down right infuriating. After going to my carrier(Verizon) and the Apple store with NO HELPFUL SOLUTION I found this app from a YouTube video. They tell you up front that it’s not free but the fee is very affordable and ONE TIME ONLY not a “rip off” subscription. Once you go in and add some target words NOTHING and I do mean NOTHING gets through. This is the BEST SPAM STOPPER EVER..!!! Thank you so much to the team that developed this app. I waited a couple of months to give a review bc I wanted it to be fair and honest.
Actually works
I have tried several other spam killers but this one works great.
Beware….Collects text data
When you enable this product in message filtering, a pop up message on your phone warns you that the developer of the app will receive the “text, attachments, and sender information in SMS and MMS messages from senders not in your Contacts. Messages may include personal or sensitive information like bank verification codes.”
That was not disclosed prior to purchase.
I don’t want anything forwarded to the developer from my phone period.
$2.99 down the drain. App deleted.
Fantastic product an example of exemplary customer service
I have been getting so many texts from political organizations that I never even heard of lots scams about buying property lots of stuff that only takes time and junks up my iPhone. I was looking for an app that would help me cut down on all this text spam that’s coming through it seems that our government and the phone companies don’t wanna do anything to help us. All the spam seems to just get worse as time goes by. I tried this app and I have to admit I’m very impressed with it, if something gets through I could take a few of the words of choice words that was used to get my attention and add it to the list so I can’t happen again. I had some issues that had nothing to do with the app but my phone settings the customer service has been the best I’ve ever seen. usually I would hear back within five minutes. They really take an interest in helping their customers. For the three dollars I spent on this app as well worth every penny of it. I highly recommend it.
