Not Very Good

VolsLunatic

It occasionally blocks texts with block listed words. It just doesn’t work right.

My mother was getting really annoyed by all of the spam messages she was receiving (especially the frequent notifications). She was starting to turn her phone ringer off at night, which was not good if we needed to contact her. I researched filtering options with her iPhone and with Verizon but didn’t find anything helpful. This app had a good rating so I installed it on her phone. It’s been on for about a week and so far is working very well. It’s easy to add whitelist and blacklist words to make sure that she’s getting all of the authentic messages and none of the spam. The only change I would make would be to add a “select all” option in the spam folder to make it easier to delete everything. Other than it is a great app and has made Mom’s life a lot less irritating.

Fully Satisfied

48hours experience on the free level. Seems 100% performance. Seems all I need but intend to go Premium as soon as I overcome my region payment hurdles. Though donno (yet) where the filtered out junk are accessed. Will try to figure out.

Works as advertised on iOS 14

No problems. All the random spam texts are put in junk texts with no notifications.

Not Working

So far I've added keywords to the blocklist, but I'm continuing to receive text messages that contain the keywords.

FINALLY!!

Somehow my number got into a database & I have been plagued by spam sms texts-sometimes 4/day! I have tried numerous text blockers (8 others to be exact) and NONE of them worked. Once I installed VeroSMS I haven’t gotten 1 spam text! Not ONE! I paid the $3 fee for the upgrade - worth every penny! Thank you Tanmay Sonawane for VeroSMS! UPDATE: Installed this app on 10/4/2020 and I have not gotten ONE spam text!! So very happy to be rid of one of life’s annoyances!! How is this not rated 5 stars all the way around?

Works!!!!

I have never written a review in the past 8 years of having apple products. I was getting robotexts everyday, even sometimes at 4 in the morning. I blacklisted the name they kept saying, and it worked like a charm. Highly recommend!!

Scam??

PipeDrunk

Same exact day that I installed the app and gave it permission to read my text messages, and after I received a login verification text code from my bank, my online account was accessed and a digital check for $1,065 was issued. I can’t prove this app is the reason for me getting hacked, but it’s extremely suspicious. I deleted the app immediately. Don’t risk it!

Still get blocked SMS on Watch

The developer emailed me back and said that there’s an Apple bug that prevents synced devices like the Apple Watch from blocking the SMS. So, it’s automatically moved to a junk folder on your phone and there is no notification for the spam message on your phone, but your watch will still get the notification. The app should have a disclaimer about this in the description because I would not have paid for this app’s premium features if I would have known about this issue that makes the app not function as advertised beforehand. Edit: Been using the app a few days and it IS nice that the spam message doesn’t show up on phone (but still notifies on the watch), so raising from 2 stars to 3.

SPAM SMS notifications will still go to watch

A Watch User

Paid fee for premium to avoid the hassle of creating manual filters. A couple days later, the first SPAM text was filtered on the iPhone, but my Apple Watch still pinged with notification for the junk SMS. This defeats the purpose of getting the app. If the message is filtered on the phone, watch notifications should also be blocked.
