Robokiller: Spam Call Blocker Customer Service

I’ve been using Robokiller for about a year, or a little over a year, and I’m very impressed by it. Before I got it, I was getting spam calls and texts left and right, and it was really annoying. I found Robokiller in the store and did the free trial. I set up everything the app needed so it could do its purpose. To my amazement, during the free trial, my phone was quiet from spammers, and it was a relief. Sure, there were times it didn’t work, but that’s because my phone kept forgetting that I have Robokiller installed, so I had to go to my phone settings to remind it. I know it works because I’ve had people call me and tell me that it would send them to the voicemail I setup with Robokiller. Without me telling them about it. Is it pricey? Yeah, sure, but is it worth it? Absolutely. If you own a business that’s a different story, and hopefully you’re using a company phone. This is more for your personal day-to-day phone. I do, however, wish that Robokiller can separate voicemails from known numbers to my phone instead of sending them to Robokiller. If someone I love passes away and leaves a voicemail, once I uninstall the app, that voicemail is gone. So find a way to separate them, known number voicemails to phone and spam voicemails to Robokiller. Other than that Robokiller is great, and I can’t live without it. Until developers somehow manage to jeopardize it, then it’s bye-bye.

After being fed up with spoofing, spamming, and scamming calls day after day not knowing who it was, I was in fear that the next call would steal my identity or try to scam me. I heard about this app so I downloaded RoboKiller to see if it could help, i didn’t know it was so hilarious too, I mean roflmao funny, it had the scammer believing they had called Area 51, now I don’t have to deal with any annoying call that isn’t a bill, no more scammers, telemarketing, and unwanted calls from people you don’t want calling, you can also go back and remove a number if you need to, I would recommend this app for anyone, I don’t have a lot of debt collectors calling but if your overwhelmed by these calls and fallen on hard times I would recommend this app, even some debt collectors can be aggressive without ever hearing your story calling back to back, they have resulted to threats at times, then on top of it getting calls from scammers who use tactics like threatening to have you thrown in jail, bots, and many other annoying calls, this app is worth it, most of the numbers are in their database, but if not you can add them with a description to help others to decide whether to take a call or not, this app can help protect you against unwanted calls, lower chances of identity theft, from being scammed for money, or being harassed by any caller, don’t wait download RoboKiller, they are offering a trail period so you have a chance to test the product, it’s worth it, this is my opinion- Z-Man

A couple weeks ago I went online to look at different Health insurance plans. My information pre-filled into the information boxes with my phone number. I was under the impression I was on my way to viewing comparisons. Second after this information what was entered, I started receiving solicitation calls from The health Registration Center. These people will drive you nuts. They called me every day, 20 times per today, sometimes minutes apart and sometimes at the same time. The first day I answered 5 or 6 times and asked them not to call me anymore. Each person I talk to said they would update their records. The calls never stopped. They would start just before 8 o’clock in the morning and go on until 8 o’clock at night. I just kept my ringer off and thought I was going to have to change my phone number. Since downloading this App I have been able to turn my ringer back on. Such a relief! My phone doesn’t even ring anymore when they call. No more voicemails from the robot named Emily or Angie. I get a notification on my screen to open and hear them talking to my answer bot (which has been quite entertaining) and get the option to continue blocking that number. This is the best App ever!

My phone got to the point where I got 15-20 calls per day of spam, scam and spoofing. I don’t need to go into detail of what they were because by now we all know them. THIS APP WORKS!!! In two weeks I’ve gotten only 3 calls that have come through. One of them was marked “unknown” and there’s nothing any app can do about that. It says it blocks a few a day but I’m sure it’s much more since many spams just hang up and don't interact with the bot. There are however two issues. The first is the default bot message. It says you are using robocall and invites the caller to leave a message if they choose. It also says the message may not be heard. First, the caller ca talk and be recorded while the bot is talking. That makes no sense. I wish it could be a customized voicemail so in those rare occasions were a legit call gets through someone can leave a real message and doesn’t need to know they’re talking to an app. This would be huge especially for someone applying to jobs if they were to miss a call from a hiring company. Also, I missed two calls from capital one and Amex. Since much of this is crowdsourced I’m wondering if people are reporting legitimate phone numbers as spam because those numbers are calling them for legitimately unpaid bills. It’s wrong for people to report numbers as spam because they want to avoid valid calls.

When my boss told me about this app, I was apprehensive at first, thinking it seems a little invasive. However, after having use the app now for almost 2 years, I don’t think I’ll ever go back. The number of spam calls/texts that I have received has dropped to almost nothing compared to what it was before, and RoboKiller is nice enough to record the callers that still try for you to listen to later and have a little laugh. They even invite you to feel included in the process of “catching the bad guys” by asking you for feedback on the call you received (what was the nature of the call, what was the caller trying to sell you/convince you of, offer you, who did the caller say they were, etc) and let’s you choose whether to allow or block a certain caller, just in case they got it wrong (so far, that’s only happened once, but it was my bank calling, and they’ve had a lot of fraudsters spoofing their number...). My only two issues with the app right now and the call screening feature (I like the feature, but it doesn’t seem fully developed quite yet) and that you can’t separate the caller’s voice from the automated response voice on the recorded calls. I feel that implementing this last option would help the user to be able to provide more accurate feedback on the nature of the caller.

As a quadriplegic, I heavily rely on voice recognition technology to manage all aspects of my daily life. One of the critical tools I’ve chosen to help streamline my communication is the Robokiller app. I started using this service because I was inundated with an overwhelming number of scam phone calls, which became not just a nuisance but a significant barrier to effective communication. Previously, I used the Verizon call management app, but I found that it simply couldn't handle the volume of calls I received. To be honest, the software was ineffective and often frustrating. Given my situation, I needed an immediate solution—something reliable and efficient that would make my life easier. I'm pleased to say that Robokiller has exceeded my expectations. It is incredibly user-friendly, allowing me to set it up quickly and easily. From the very first moment I activated the app, I noticed a remarkable improvement. My incoming calls have decreased by an astounding 100%, giving me peace of mind and allowing me to focus on the important things in my life without constant interruptions from unwanted solicitors. This app has truly transformed the way I manage my phone communication.

...Now that I’ve got your attention— When I first purchased this app, it worked 90% of the time, which was awesome. About 2 months ago it stopped blocking as many calls every week. More than 3/4 of them. Spam numbers that are similar to mine, which is most of them, and other numbers just started ringing straight through. I got an alert from the app stating that an extension or attachment (something on those lines) had disconnected. I took a screenshot and emailed it to Customer Service. I explained what was going on and let them know I tried to fix it with no luck. I’ve emailed 3 times, but no one will reply. Very frustrating! When I first started using the app, I had questions (and a suggestion) and wrote a couple of emails. I didn’t hear back, but didn’t think anything of it. Recently I wrote a 2 star review similar to this one. I posted it, but it’s nowhere to be found in these reviews. As for the app, seems like once they have your money— they’re finished with you. I see that I’m not alone in other reviews. READ the 1-3 star reviews! I didn’t. And if you get this app, hope that the technical gods are on your side... Because customer service won’t be.

When I was researching this app I saw mixed reviews about if this app is legit or if it is a scam or something. Let me just tell you, this is the real deal. I had been suffering through at least 10 spam phone calls per day, and Robokiller has completely saved me. For one thing, most of the spammers disappeared after a few days. I think a combination of the call blocking and the Answer Bots made them give up. Secondly, the Call Screening has been a huge lifesaver. I love how people in my contacts list bypass Robokiller completely, so people I know don't know any difference. The only thing I dislike is the spam text filtering, but this is more of an Apple problem than Robokiller. The problem is that filtered spam texts still show a "badge" unread count, so if you're OCD about that sort of thing like me, it doesn't really help. The app does do a good job of separating out spam texts, but I turned it off since you can't hide or automatically delete these. All in all, this app is fantastic and well worth the investment! Highly recommended if you're struggling with spam phone calls like I was.

10 stars plus!! I was at my wits end! I have been receiving numerous harassing spam phone calls from thieves who identify themselves as Apple Support Services. They leave robo messages saying my account has been compromised. These calls are a scam! They have called continuously every waking hour for several days and each call is from a different number. Literally within minutes of installing this app, I got another call followed by many more. To my extreme delight, RoboKiller caught these calls! Initially I used one of the pre-set recordings that RoboKiller offers. It was hilarious listening to these idiots trying to interact with the Russian dude recording I selected. The calls were blocked, but I needed to make a recording specific to these thieves in order for them to cease calling altogether, which is what I did. I deafeningly advised them to stop calling my number, threatened a lawsuit and told them they have been reported to the FTC. I ended with a few choice words in Italian LOL. It seems this did the trick because I haven’t had a call in almost 24 hours and it has been heaven! I cannot thank RoboKiller enough for restoring my peace of mind!! Highly recommend!!

This app drastically cut down on the # of spam, spoof, & telemarketing calls AND text messages I was getting EVERY DAY! I started out w/ my phone carrier’s free spam blocking service then moved to their monthly paid version, and while that helped with the phone calls, it did nothing for text messages. I heard about RoboKiller on the news, and when viewing it in the App Store, saw that it was 1 of the highest ranked spam call blockers available AND the price wasn’t too bad either! I decided to give the trial period a go - which is a great offer since it’s long enough to allow the app to “settle in” & learn your phone before you commit to purchasing a monthly or yearly subscription. The answer bots are entertaining, though I’ve yet to come across a call where someone actually has a conversation with one...but I keep waiting! 😉 The recent call screening update just ranks it higher as a #1 app, especially for those that don’t like to answer calls from #s they don’t know! I didn’t give it 5 stars because they is 1 feature I would love for it to have to make it a truly perfect app to me...the ability to block/filter out spam email before hitting your inbox (for any email domain)! ☺️😉

Without a doubt, Robokiller is the most invaluable, user-friendly and entertaining app available today. I was inundated with daily calls me from companies I ordered something from a decade ago. I couldn’t block them because they always called from a different number. Now, thanks to Robokiller, not only am I not bothered by these calls, I get a taste of sweet revenge. Unsolicited calls are automatically answered by any one of the 43 (and growing) “people” you select to take the call; from someone hard of hearing to someone in the midst of a crisis. All the pre-recorded performances are spot on and truly funny. Every time a solicitor tries, hopelessly, to communicate with one of the recordings, you can play it back, save it, even share it with friends. You can also record your self answering the phone, and, after years of hearing the same sales pitch, I’ve made recordings of myself so in synch with their pitch, I can have them going in circles for five minutes and thinking they’re talking to someone. Really, I cannot say enough about this brilliantly conceived and well designed app. For all you ‘Spinal Tap’ fans (and who isn’t?) this app goes up to 11.

Crappy at&t spam spoofed numbers daily waking me up early daily. Looked for a solution and found at&t offering a paid app to stop it. Disgusting! Allow spoofed spam to harass your paying customer and charge you to block it? Shortly we are changing family and business from their crap cable that goes out several times a day and now spam calls. I decided to download RoboKiller as I could not stand it one more day. No way I could stomach paying for an AT&T extortion app. RK has blocked every daily spoofed call. No more waking me up as it does not ring at all when it is suspected spam call! Tells the caller they are being blocked and to leave a message. None do as they are spam and you can listen to them, if legit would leave a message. Then you can pick to keep blocked or allow it. Thus far RK has only blocked spam calls. I just am jealous I do not get other telemarketing spam as I would love to her the bot conversation with one as the RK live listen option of other users recordings submitted. I listened to some for a while on this app and are funny. This is a great app for a few dollars a month well worth it to block just one from waking me up! TY RoboKiller!

I was getting up to twenty calls a day (from 10 different numbers, changing daily, so there was no way to block them on my phone) from scammers, telemarketers, and robocallers. I am on the National Do Not Call registry, and reported the numbers, but that just made it worse. I was dreading my phone ringing and was at my wit’s end. I had tried another app that did not work at all. But this app had really high reviews and I figured if it didn’t work the first couple of days, I’d cancel it before the free 1-week trial was over. It worked IMMEDIATELY. Since purchasing this app and service I’ve gotten, at most, two spam numbers ringing through, and I’ve gone days without any at all, which is a heck of a lot better than twenty spam calls a day. When they do ring through, all I have to do is add the number to my block list after the first call and it never rings through again. The only suggestion I’d make is to create a way to add a number to the block list as the call is ringing through. As the app is currently, I have to copy and paste the number manually into the block list. Still, though, awesome app!

I’m a small business owner and because of that, my number has been listed in publicly accessible documents. Over the past two and a half years, the spam calls have been relentless — dozens per day of small business lenders trying to capitalize on gullible and naive entrepreneurs. It’s incredibly disruptive to the important workflow I have to have on my phone. I came across this app when browsing the App Store randomly about a month ago. Before I had been using Mr. Number and another SMS shielding app, which kind of worked, but didn’t actually prevent the calls. I need an iOS cell phone for certain apps but for a while I genuinely considered a Pixel because of Google’s own call screening/blocking technology. Robokiller has replicated a lot of that technology in spades. I sometimes will lose a call because of their system but it’s rare. It blocks dozens of phone calls for me daily and if someone who actually needs me — say a doctors office or a bank — will usually just go through the screener and be fine. Great app. Will recommend to others.

This app has brought back sanity into my life. After 2 months it's blocked 145 robocalls! These stupid disturbances used to annoy me throughout the day, now I look forward to logging in to the app at the end of the day to laugh at these idiots talking to robots. 😂 I turned the notifications off so my phone had gone back to only ringing when real people without an agenda call me. Im dropping one star because lately, it’s not blocking calls anymore or it will say it blocked calls when it didn’t. My phone will ring multiple times a day with the same numbers that were blocked before and after I send them to voicemail RoboKiller says “hey, we blocked a call!” Umm..no you didn’t. My settings are also set to not notify me of missed/blocked calls and lately they have been popping up on my phone. Was there a new update that messed with how perfectly this app was working before? Since this is a monthly fee app I need it to work. Please fix this so my life can go back to humming show tunes and enjoying the sound of silence. Now if only we could come up with an app for blocking calls from family members asking to borrow money, amirite? 😉

I have waited a few years to review this app to see if the app was consistently worth the cost. Bottom line is that RoboKiller is worth every penny! Full Review: A couple of years ago I started seeing a huge spike in daily spoof/spam calls and text messages. This made life hard because these fraudulent calls and texts were happening in between perfectly legitimate calls. I found myself either accidentally answering the calls or constantly silencing them. I dreaded the sound of my phone and would send all calls to voicemail. I was ready to change my number until I found Robokiller! The app was easy to install and I saw an immediate reduction in spam calls and texts. What’s even better is that I get to hear the hilarious recordings of the scammers experiencing a range of emotions as they waste their time with a bot. I love RoboKiller and I think the Radar feature is an awesome way to help identify & stop local scammers. I hope that Robokiller makes more trilogy bots. I think having a variety of trilogies with varied pauses after the bot says hello will keep scammers fooled.

You have stopped almost all crazy calls to my phone number you allow me to review who is calling and what they are about before I accept or reject their calls. I appreciate you Robokiller Way more than I can ever say you have saved me from bogus calls and those I do not want to receive a call from as well 😜 you are well worth the small amount I’m charged each month to save me from unsolicited calls and messages from people I have no idea who they are or why they’re calling. Unsolicited calls Usually never leave a message and rarely can you call back and get a real person. Thank you Robokiller For all you do and a minimal price All I can say in the negative is that some of these numbers people call with are bogus Numbers and you cannot get anyone when you call them back they leave no message either I appreciate the funny voicemail greetings but I think sometimes it in Inhibits people from leaving a message and sometimes a message would be wonderful therefore I am using my own greeting and let them know If they do not leave a message they will be blocked or deleted from my phone

Perfect app for anyone who enjoys peace and quiet. RoboKiller works quietly behind the scenes to give you that. At first I was worried I might miss important calls from people that aren’t in my contacts, but so far this hasn’t been an issue in the entire 2 years I’ve had the app. Most people who are legitimately trying to call me and reach Robokiller’s screening, will leave a message. I call them right back as I choose. This barely happens since I try to be diligent about adding people or businesses I’m expecting a call from to my contact list. When I first got the app, RoboKiller was screening about twenty to thirty unwanted calls from scammers a day, even though my number was registered for years on the government Do Not Call List. Two years after downloading this app, I barely get a notification that a scammer or telemarketer has called. There are three or four day stretches without one unwanted call. I can’t tell you the last time I’ve gotten a “car warranty”, or “interested in your property” call… I do believe this app has worn them down! The silence is pure gold.

If you like apps that take your money and do not work, if you have hours to spend gathering and sending detailed information, screen shots, screen videos of your app not opening and waiting for almost a year for an engineer with whom you you are forbidden to communicate, (all the time being billed for the subscription), to fix the problem then this is the piece of cr@p for you! Unlike 99% of all of the other apps on my iPhone, this one will only continue to work if I never power my phone off. If I do power my phone off at night, it will not open and load the next day. Robokiller Tech-support has been working on this since last September 2018 but has not been able to fix this problem. (ok, they TELL me they will have an engineer work on the problem, I doubt they are working on the problem or have the technical savvy to fix any problem), Almost every day I need to re-download and re-reinstall this app. This App is Cr@p and TelTec the disorganization who markets it should be sued. DO NOT even consider using this app, there are others on the App store that actually work. DL MOONITZ

Price went from $25 to $75 plus. This type of hike is insane. I am definitely not renewing. Will have to look for other options after some 7 years.

Excellent service thanks ✅

Love this - I was getting spammed - with calls and texts. i checked a blocker and found RoboKiller - it works great. I am extremely satisfied with Robokiller.

This WAS by far one of my most helpful apps; I used to suggest it to all of my friends and would brag how great it worked. I’ve had it for about 2 yrs or so. Recently it’s become the worse and most invasive app on my phone. I just had to delete it today. For about a month now it’s been blocking all of my calls (even people who are in my contacts). I’d receive a text message saying that I missed a call. All voicemails, if I got them, were being maintained in the app even if they were from people that I know. The app also forwarded my calls to a number in South Dakota, which just started in the last month. When picking up calls, I couldn’t hear anyone and they couldn’t hear me; I believe that within the last month, I successfully received 2 calls. When calling people back, IF they showed on my missed call list on my phone (not the app) with RoboKiller listed on it, I could not call the person back directly from my miss calls list. I would have to go to my contacts and call them back. It also seemed to make my battery run down faster, but I will have to see how it runs now that Ives deleted it. I troubleshot everything listed in the settings section of the app and still the same things kept happening. I have the feeling that I have missed a lot of important calls because of the app, so I’ve now been forced to delete it. If they make fixes, I’ll consider reinstalling it. For now I have to delete it from my phone.

I am not an app developer or anything, so maybe it is much more complicated than website development, but this app could use a few improvements. I installed it on my work phone because my number gets out there a lot. I have not had any problem with the app blocking calls, but once they get blocked I only get one chance to view the number. Sometimes it will let me tap the notification and call the number back, other times it just takes me to the apps Home Screen. I wish there was a call history on the app. Also I have not yet been able to access any voicemails that are left “through” the app. I contacted customer service and they said to upgrade the version to fix this. That did absolutely nothing. As someone else mentioned, my spam calls have increased dramatically, and ironically they have increased exponentially on my personal phone that does not have the app. I got 21 spam calls on my personal phone yesterday alone. Before downloading the app I would get 1-5 a day. Unfortunately this is my work phone so I get a lot of calls from clients who’s number I do not have saved. My only solution now is to turn RoboKiller off, but it will still silence or block calls, then I can not go back and access that phone number. Therefore I have to also go into my phone settings to deny the app permissions. It is mildly infuriating and I hope someday they add a call log to the app.

The app may be good for certain callers that use established numbers. But it is useless when Scammers are spoofing on every call. Robokiller will have you set your phone to not accept unknown callers. It then intercepts those calls with a pre recorded conversation. Your phone is blocking the call due to the phone setting anyone can do without Robokiller. On top of that I now get scammer calls marked as “Robokiller Safe Call” coming through. The scammers are outsmarting Robokiller. Robokiller needs to up their game. This was a great app a few years ago. Not so much anymore. Update: Robo Killer is good if you want to screw with the telemarketers. In exchange, you are going to get a lot more calls from the scammers. Unfortunately if you want or need to turn off the app, your phone is going to blow up with spoofed calls. In my case, I have AT&T. AT&T has its own app that can be d/l on the App Store called “Active Armour”. It is free to AT&T users and will straight up stop all of the scam calls including ones that are spoofed. I can assume that the other carriers have similar apps. AT&T has a way of knowing which calls are spoofed right off the bat and will block it. I don’t think Robo Killer has that ability. So, if you want to screw with the scammers, use Robo Killer. If you just want to stop the scam calls, use the free app provided by your carrier.

I signed up for a year with RoboKiller - what a mistake! Initially it worked fine blocking those annoying repetitive calls. Then I noticed that it started blocking calls from my contact list including the favorites . It also would notify me that it blocked a call or that I missed a call and had a message. I’d go to the app to access my messages and to view the blocked and missed calls - the app would have no listings of call’s whatsoever. The app would indicate that I had no messages or that my messages were being worked on at the present. And all calls were silenced. Yes, I attempted to navigate around inside the app giving my preferences but regardless all calls were silenced and no listings of the calls or messages were listed inside the app despite being given notice of receiving both. I actually had to call back the number given in the message that I received a call to ascertain who it was. Friends and relatives would send me text messages that they’d just tried to call me. I’d then call them back. After the app started malfunctioning I never received any of the recorded messages from anyone. After missing some important calls and messages I tried getting rid of RoboKiller. That took an act of God. I never expected and never received a refund. I was just desperate to rid myself of this awful malfunctioning “service”. I finally did disable and remove the app after diligent numerous attempts. DIO NIOT SIGN UP FOR THIS SERVICE. It’s horrible.

This app is a useless and problematic mess. My voicemails disappeared after I downloaded this useless app in April. It was not until now that I realized that this app which is nonfunctional on my phone as I use straight talk and in order to possibly set it up so it works as advertised, would require me to attempt to set it up by dialing multiple combinations of numbers which may or may not activate the call filtering capabilities of this app. All of this time has passed and I’ve wondered why particular missed callers were not bothering to leave me a voicemail. After multiple important callers failed to leave me a message, I realized that I had installed this joke of an app around the same time I stopped receiving voicemails. I had to specifically search RoboKiller support articles to learn there is a major glitch with voicemail and this junk app. I still receive all spam calls, I cannot access my voicemails because their app does not even allow for that feature. This app was a waste of $40, has not prevented any spam calls from calling through, has compromised communication by redirecting my voicemails, and I cannot even properly disable this ridiculous app without contacting their ridiculous customer service. I do not have time to troubleshoot all of the shortcomings of this app to see if it might eventually work as advertised. Please, save yourself from the problems this app brings. Unless of course you have nothing but extra time to waste. I should have gone with you mail to begin with.

Well this i gotta say is the absolute worst app I've ever used. I thought it was supposed to stop spam calls. Nope it did nothing of the sort actually quite the opposite. Had applied for a fed ex handler position. Had received an email stating they received the application and would be in contact by phone and if I hadn't heard anything by 45 days to reapply. Well i submitted the app. on Friday. A week had gone by and heard nothing. I just assumed they had hired someone already. All during this time I'm getting hundreds of text messages from spam job callers. Telling me to send one email and make 500 dollars. Laughable. Also tons of calls from automated job sites telling me that I have won 2500 or 1000 dollars. I had disabled the app and canceled the subscription before the free week was even up. Yesterday being a entire week since i submitted the application to FedEx. I happened to open the robo-caller app to take a last look before I deleted the app off my phone. Good thing I did. There was a missed call there from FedEx ground. It was missed the very next day after submitting the application. Now that is awful. Could of costed me the job i really wanted. It didnt even show up ok my missed calls on my phone only in the robo-caller app. Do not get this app. It will cost you money and it doesn't do what it says. It actually does the oppisite. Blocks important calls from showing on your phone and allows spam. Horrible horrible app!!!! Disgusted and extremely angry.

I started off with the trial and at the time I was getting spam calls left and right. This app was working AMAZINGLY at stopping calls so when the trial was over and the payment for a year subscription kicked in, I wasn’t mad. About two weeks into getting the membership, I changed phones. The app fully stopped working. I tried activating. Tried contacting customer service. At first no one responded and then finally someone did and told me the reason it wasn’t working was because I hadn’t activated my account. I explained my account was activated, I had just changed phones and that now when I tried setting it up, it didn’t work. I had tried uninstalling and reinstalling. The problem eventually was resolved on its own and I had access to robokiller again (on or about June 2019). Now, I keep getting spam calls and robokiller is not stopping them. I don’t know if the app simply doesn’t recognize the calls. But I’ve been getting them weekly and the app isn’t doing the job it claims to do. Even after I report the number, a new number calls with the same spam call. Makes me wonder what I’m paying for. Literally from the moment my paid subscription went in, I only got two weeks of the app actually working. I got this app around December 2018. It’s now September 2019 and I feel stupid for paying for this service. I would suggest saving your money and handling the spam calls yourself. Either way, this app seems to eventually leave you to handle them as it takes your money.

This program was best under the original developers. Yes that is what I said. Now I cannot get in touch with a real live human being about an issue that makes or breaks the deal of paying $26. something a year. When I first signed up I think it was like three dollars. Now I can write a lengthy email explaining VERY SPECIFICALLY the problem and the resppnse I get back is like trying to write to a stupid computer, or, some foreign support who doesn’t “get it” what my problem is! This is the problem. I signed up with True talk USA ( about a 50% savings of what I paid Verizon ) so I could save myself some money because bills are hard to pay with job losses etc. The problem is: I am given a phone number already programmed into instructions for robokiller set up, AND ITS THE WRONG PHONE NUMBER to use with Pure Talk! My email ends with verizon, so someone probably thinks I am a nut case! So they send me a list of numbers to use when I find out from PURE TALK USA WHAT TRANSFER WIRES THEY USE. Ok I am told its AT&T. Good luck trying to put the correct number in... the one given cannot seem to be changed! So why did I bother to find out the company wires they use when in fact I cannot change it? Furthermore, why bother when the company is so reliant on computers and foreigners, that I cannot get any satisfaction regarding my issue? Apple, I want my 26 dollars back. Now.

I downloaded this app as I own a couple businesses and from doing several ads , receive regular telemarketers or robotic calls that interfere with my daily phone usage. Someone how I went to try it out for a couple days and for some reason the yearly amount was deducted from my bank account. Issue 1. After using for a couple days I realized this was nothing that was going to work for me as it blocked the right calls and several potential new customer calls as they weren’t saved in my contacts yet. Issue 2. Upon trying to see if my money could be refunded realized that was probably not going to happen so I tried to get used to the app again. This time was no different and actually I lost a lot of money missing new customers calls. I did the next thing I could think of and remove/uninstalled the app and chop the yearly amount up as a loss. But it didn’t end there, now barely any of my calls came through even ones that were programmed in my contacts giving the caller an “ unreachable/ unavailable at this time “ message and for me I would see in a text that “ ******* number tried reaching Robokiller without success “ . I went through all my apps and couldn’t find where Robokiller was still on my phone. I had to download it again and try to go into settings. Months later and I’m still dealing with this issue with no resolve. Please help

RoboKiller used to work perfectly on my old iPhone 7, but since upgrading to an iPhone 13 Pro Max it has consistently been a massive headache. I don’t know if it’s the new phone or the latest version of iOS. I have given RoboKiller months to get things worked out and I just canceled my subscription. First of all the app constantly resets. Second, the setup number for my carrier will occasionally disappear forcing me to use the generic setup number. Third of all occasionally the setup will fail even though everything is turned on in my phones settings properly, this will then block all calls and prevent me from even seeing that there was an incoming call. Fourth sometimes the app will have wiped itself and I won’t know it which will also block all incoming calls and prevents me from seeing that there was an incoming call. On those last two points, RoboKiller has caused me to miss several important calls that I had assumed were never made. I am sure there is some other issues that I can’t even think of, but those are the major ones. Basically my only recourse was to deactivate, unsubscribe, and delete. I’d rather deal with the spam and other unwanted calls. Also this has its own voicemail box which supersedes the native iOS voicemail box. So if you save voicemails for whatever reason deleting and unsubscribing from this app will wipe those voicemails out.

UPDATE — After I cancelled my subscription customer service admitted that with Sprint the app does not work. They also asked that positive reviews be posted on social media but negative reviews be emailed only to them. Um... no. People need to know that problems exist with this app. Original post: I heard about this app from and friend and was SO excited to try it out. Unfortunately, it’s been a headache for a month. All calls, including spam, are still ringing off the hook at all hours of the day. Also, my actual contacts are all being redirected to a RoboKiller voicemail instead of my personal voicemail on my phone. I have been in contact with customer service several times and they keep giving me new phone numbers to try to correctly install they app but none of them worked. Nor have they directly answered my question, “is this app supposed to filter calls so automated calls and spammers never or rarely actually ring through AND can the app allow my saved contacts and numbers I don’t have saved but are real people who need to reach me ring through and be directed to my personal voicemail if I can’t answer. I’ve been dealing with “Frank” and he seems nice but was utterly unhelpful. He did not respond to my latest inquiry. So to sum up, this app seemed like it would be just what I needed and wanted, but in the end it fell so short I would give it zero stars if I could, and it is not worth $5 to even try it out for a month.

Ever since the recent update all calls are now delivered to your phone via data using VOIP. The call quality is horrible, and the call screening is not working properly. Every single call comes through VoIP via the App including the contacts that are in my phone book. This means I’m no longer getting notifications on my Apple Watch or other Apple devices for phone calls that I’m receiving. After each phone call the app is asks for you to complete a survey on the call quality. Obviously if they’re asking for feedback after every call they know that the quality is rancid. This recent upgrade is absolutely horrible. Only reason I can think of why they would push this junk update out to consumers is because it’s saving them money by delivering calls over data and not cellular. I wish I could get a refund on the year subscription that I paid for. This is not the original service that I paid for. This App received a ton of five star reviews when it first came out and would forward the calls to your phone via cellular service. I noticed that since this update most reviews are now only one star. It’s a shame that they had such an awesome app but now this is just another soon to be deleted app from my phone. I hope they consider bringing back the original service or at least give customers the option to receive calls over cellular service as a premium option.

Before you read please know I really think this app is wonderful and has A LOT of potential; however, MANY things need to be fixed. This summer, I been getting literally 5-10 spam calls a day. Blocking didn’t work and I was desperate for a solution. This app seemed more than perfect and had many unique features to get pay back on the scammers. However, the app keep uninstalling itself (not off my phone) when it’s hooked to blocking in settings. It doesn’t block calls when it unhooks itself from my phone blocking and I have to constantly check it it’s still hooked up, or else NOTHING gets blocked. Even when it is all hooked up and running, it blocks only 2-3 of the 10+ spam calls I get in a day. This is with blocking over 30 numbers + blocking ranges, how many more numbers and rangers do I have to block for RoboKiller to process “these similar numbers are scammers, block them.” Then, to put the cherry on top, it keeps telling me “RoboKiller has stopped working, please uninstall the app from you phone and re-install.” I had to go through the process of setting up Robo killer all over again more than 5 times now. I also have texting options set and it hasn’t blocked one text in 3 weeks; I keep getting spam. With updating my phone the app still hasn’t improved. Please, find a way to fix these issues.

I am writing this updated review to provide further details about my ongoing experience with your service. Despite multiple interactions with your customer support team, the central issue remains unresolved. The core problem lies in the fact that, even after updating the app as suggested by your team, I am unable to utilize the feature to upload a custom answer BOT. This is a significant drawback as it's an integral part of the functionality I rely on. Due to the persistence of this problem, I felt compelled to request a refund from Apple, which was thankfully processed. While I appreciate the responsiveness of your support team, the proposed solutions have unfortunately not rectified the issue. As a business owner, my phone line is crucial for operations. The inability to differentiate between potential scams and legitimate business calls due to the app's limitations is a serious concern. I remain optimistic that your company will address these issues in the future. When the necessary improvements have been made and the quality of service has increased, I would be open to reconsidering your services. Thank you for taking the time to consider this feedback. I trust that my experiences will be taken into account and lead to significant enhancements in your service.

Im giving Robokiller 2 stars because it's good at blocking calls, but the premium features that I paid for don't work. I'm a developer who's been running dev betas of iOS 17, so I waited 3+ months before reviewing to make sure that the bugs were in iOS and not Robokiller. But even after iOS 17 was released, the premium features still didn't work. For example, I never saw a full-screen incoming call with Robokiller, even though all the settings were correct. Call screening also never worked. And the phone number screener is completely inaccurate. I tried my own number, which I've had for 10+ years, and Robokiller said it was a negative number that was last used 2 years ago! I also tried my REPUTABLE doctors office # & Robokiller has it labeled as negative as well with a last call being 3 years ago! If you AI architecture model is trained on this dataset & other databooks… HOW MANY IMPORTANT CALLS HAVE I MISSED?! I'm a business owner and online entrepreneur, so I receive a lot of spam calls. Robokiller does block them, but I could do that with a free spam blocker. I paid for Robokiller Premium to access the additional features, but they don't work. In addition to the above, the text message filter also does not work. All of my text messages go directly to my main text messages, even though I have enabled the text message filter in Robokiller. I am disappointed that Robokiller is charging for premium features that do not work. If you're looking for a spam blocker, Robokiller is okay. But if you're looking for a spam blocker with premium features, I would look elsewhere!

For the first year and a little more this app was wonderful. Completely stopped the spam calls. In recent months my friends and family we’re having problems getting their calls through to me. At first I thought it must be a problem with my phone but could not find any reason for the phone to be blocking the calls. Additionally I recently got a notification from RoboKiller of ability to analyze all incoming calls. I thought this might be a handy tool and so I activate it. Then I could not get any calls. All the calls were being blocked or sent straight to voicemail. this was not good. I tried to change back to the way it was working before this update and it could not be done I also finally connected the dots and realized it was Robo killer interfering with my other calls all along so since I could not fix it and I did not get very good assistance from the RoboKiller team I have deactivated the app however it just keeps going on screening calls blocking them sending them to voicemail I don’t know what I’m going to do I am hoping since I canceled the subscription which you can only cancel it based on the date that it renews so I am stuck with it until July 20 and I am hoping at that point it will finally die and go away. I don’t know what happened to this app I don’t know why it started performing like it did but it’s like an insidious virus that has infected my phone and there is no cure😤

They are now forcing all inbound calls through their VoIP provider rather than through your own cell provider which in my case is Verizon. Terrible voice quality, delays, echoes, call drops, calls even from contacts going to VM which can be very dangerous like when my wife (yes, both in contacts and whitelisted) called me in an emergency and kept going to their terrible voicemail system. I understand the reason and in theory it’s good but they are killing the patient with the medication. Also your voice mails are now on their system not your cell provider. If you drop their service you lose any important saved VMs plus we won’t even go into the privacy issues. I’ve been with them since inception but had to give up my 1yr sub because the service has become horrible. Sometimes it pays to leave well enough alone. Sadly I have switched to another, not as good, option. Maybe if they get away from their horrible voip provider I’ll try again. Now I see they are advertising on TV and they will get even bigger and even worse. I find it’s better to have nothing than this. They really have gone bad over the years. Oh, and forget their support. Some guy called me to try and help (it didn’t) and gave me his return phone number which always goes to voicemail and messages never get returned. You win Robokiller, you got my $30 subscription and I get nothing. Too late to cancel.

I have been trying off & on for about 6 weeks or so to activate this app to no avail. Every time I click on the activate button, it goes through the call process then shows that it’s attempting to activate then I finally get a message that “RoboKiller couldn’t be activated at this time.” It gives you the option to try again or to get help. Well the try again just takes me through the same nowhere process and the get help option opens up a blank screen with no options for anything. So, I have to go back and click “Try Again”. There is a support option in the top right corner of the screen, and when I click on that I get another window that gives me a chat box to click on. That opens up to something that looks like it’s opening up a page then finally get the message that says “Could Not Connect - Sorry we cant connect you right now. Please try again later.” One of the notes on the bottom of the page says to “make sure WiFi is turned off when activating.” I’ve done all of these things and am still not getting connected. I got my “free” trial period and now I’m a paying customer, but am NOT getting the service I’m paying for. I am NOT satisfied and unless the people or BOTS behind this app can help me, I DO NOT recommend it. There are a lot of good reviews, but unless something changes for me, I will not change how I feel about this app. This has been more than frustrating.

Will not stop blocking WANTED calls even after uninstalling the app and removing settings/permissions! I disabled absolutely ALL block settings/permissions when I was in the middle of a job search because I was worried it was going to block unknown numbers of potential employers and hiring committees. Guess what? Still happened, and cost me a few promising job opportunities. I then decided to the delete the app to permanently fix the solution. Guess what? STILL HAPPENED. Fed up with this, I reinstalled the app to see if I missed anything, which I didn’t, and then tried to see if just having the settings disabled while still having the app installed would fix it. STILL HAPPENED. At this point the app is uninstalled on my phone and somehow still blocking/silencing WANTED calls from IMPORTANT unknown numbers. I’m in the middle of buying my first house and I keep missing calls in need of timely responses from lenders and agents because this app won’t stop blocking calls! I also have missed numerous appointment confirmations and calls from my doctor. I do not want ANY calls to be blocked at this point. Here’s the kicker: I DON’T EVEN HAVE AN ACTIVE SUBSCRIPTION ANYMORE! This is absolutely ridiculous. I should not have to factory reset my phone to completely clean the effects of this app from it. Please put your app through much more extensive testing before releasing it in the App Store, where it has such an extensive negative impact on the lives of your customers.

I had been receiving 2-8 telemarketer or robocalls a day. The Do Not Call Registry is pretty much useless, and just trying to duck these scammers and spammers is like walking through a minefield, thanks to their ability to use “neighbor spoofing.” As careful as I had been, I had called a couple contractors and was expecting a local call - and in came a couple calls that got me on their list - and the deluge began. So I signed up for RoboKiller. It has blocked some calls, has let some pass through, and is okay... I do think there was a “magic bullet” that a caller made, and RoboKiller played the “number disconnected” recording. When that one caller heard that, it sounded like he was saying, “what? Hm, uhh...” and next thing I knew, my call volume dropped dramatically - so, to be honest, it seemed like there was a database that a bunch of scammer-spammers were sharing, and once one of them got that message, my number was removed from the database, and all the callers accessing it stopped calling. Good! But since all that, I am still receiving several calls a week that slip through, about as many as RoboKiller blocks. I don’t think it’s RoboKiller’s weakness, nearly so much as the sophistication the scammer-spammers use to spoof a number that looks legit. Still, it’s not blocking the calls, and I am exploring for a better solution.

I will come back and update this after some time goes on, but so far I feel I wasted $130 on the premium subscription and wish that I would have done a trail period first. So far, I am getting MORE calls than I did before I had this app. Interesting phenomenon. I get alerts that don’t make any sense and their help articles are of no use. For instance, there was a call from an unknown number. I ignored it. They left a voicemail and Robokiller sent me an alert of such. It was not in my phone’s voicemail, so I navigated to the app to listen just in case it was someone from work. Nope, can’t find it. No idea where it went or if they even left a voicemail. I also cannot find which phone numbers were recently blocked to ensure someone from work isn’t trying to get ahold of me. My confidence in this app is shaken, at best, that this app is doing what is advertised and not blocking calls I should be getting. I will give a week. If confidence isn’t increased, I am deleting and going with another vendor. Also, the app will not allow me to setup call screening. It just keeps giving me an error message. May try to get support, but other reviews seem to really hit hard about how bad support is for this app. Wish me luck.

I downloaded this app because I was receiving so many spam calls. And it did help with the spam calls..... but blocked every single call that wasn’t on my contact list. Even numbers I’ve recently called, they blocked call backs from the same number. After missing many important medical calls, I decided to delete the app and cancel the subscription. Also, be mindful that if you call 911 and get disconnected, if the operator tries to call you back, Robokiller will block them. That’s dangerous! I tried calling my phone after deleting the app and canceling the subscription, but my calls were still being blocked. I went to their technical support and followed the instructions for deactivating but that just caused further issues. The only thing the deactivation did was stop the Robokiller voicemail response. All of my calls are still being sent directly to voicemail. I don’t even get the notification of an incoming call, or have the option to accept or deny a call. So I’m having to contact my phone carrier, AT&T, to try and fix the issue. Or worst case scenario I’ll have to get a new phone number. Spam calls are annoying, but this app is awful and needs major improvement! Difficulty canceling subscription, deactivating app, and they have no phone number to call for support; they just have an option to email and then have an automated chat.

Look I’m not a man of many words , so I’ll try to keep this short and sweet … I had very high expectations for this app $45 for a whole year is a lot of money so it better work … you can imagine my surprise when the apples are complete failure first off you have to give this company complete control over your phone to begin with which I really didn’t like the idea of but I went along with it if it worked, it might have been worth it …. I was averaging about 10 spam calls a day and after a month of working with the people at Robo killer and allowing them to do diagnostic test and look at my phone numbers and stuff like that that were calling me they got me down to nine calls a day so every now and then they would catch one…. The part that bothered me the most is I have AT&T. I would literally get five or six spam calls a day that would say spam calls. It said spam calls on the caller ID and they wouldn’t catch that Robo killer had no way to catch those calls. You would think when you created an app that if, something in the caller ID says SPAM in it ….that it would hold that call but that was just too hard for them to figure out. Also, when I deleted the app I started getting a ton of spam calls in additional new problems once I got rid of them, which I know they had to do with don’t waste your money

I am going to preface this with, I am not usually a complainer, but I feel so frustrated and helpless with this. I was so excited to try this app because I get SO many spam calls per day and wanted something to make my life easier. I gave it an attempt for a few days using the free trial, and following various how to guide from their website when I ran into issues. As the week came to a close I still hadn’t been able to get it to work for me, and I’m fairly tech savvy. I decided it just wasn’t for me and went to cancel my trial, except I had no option to cancel. I tried to look up their how to guides again but this time to cancel, and none of the directions lead me to the option. I decided to use their contact form to request for them to cancel my subscription before it charged me, but I was charged as of today. I have submitted now another request but this time for a refund, and am posting a review in hopes of communicating with this team. I understand that businesses need to make money, but I feel so frustrated that free trials immediately switch over to full scale memberships, and that these companies make it so challenging to find the right screen to cancel. I would think that if you believe in your product you would make it much easier to actually cancel.

The new option to remove one’s personal data from various data collection sites is presented as a new feature, but after entering your personal data, doing the scan, and requesting the data to be removed you are then presented with a $60 charge to move forward. I wouldn’t expect this to be free but I’m already paying for service so by presenting it as a new feature to a paying customer then asking for more money to move forward it’s, we’ll, scammy; especially when you ask for more money for this one “feature” then an entire year of the premium service. Just be upfront with your paying customers that this is an add on feature and include the price before they enter a bunch of personal information .But you didn’t do that because you know at $60 bucks no one would push the button and you hope to scare people into paying that price when you show them their data all over the internet. So it’s scammy. But I guess down the road you can always sell the information you gathered, particularly the ones that don’t pay the 60, but you super duper swear you won’t do that so no worries right? I mean a little dishonest bait and switch between customers is one thing but selling data? No way, pinky swear, cause you’re honest, right? I should have known better.

On the surface the app looks slick but under the surface it is useless. The app appears to only block calls known as spammers…90% of the calls I get have no such label. Here is the worst part: as part of the start-up procedure it tells u to activate iOS’s block unknown call feature (which is FREE and in ur phone app). That function is what actually “stops” unknown callers if they are not labeled spam. For the non-spam numbers it does not realize are bad, u can block each one manually which is insane. The best part, they ask u what kind of vendor each number is (do they think I pick up to find out??) so they can “add it to the list of spammers for everyone” yet the app charges me $130 per year! So you providing the company the data it needs to “provide value” but u are paying to provide them the data! It is like going for an oil change but u bring the oil and do all the labor and you still pay them! What is funny and shows the game, when u cancel the service they suggest/tell you to “turn off the silence unknown caller function in iOS”. They do that so it makes you feel their app actually did something. What a joke. If you have ATT, the offer an app the does the same thing for free and at least they are transparent about how it works. $130….what a ripoff.

When I first downloaded this app about 2 months ago I was ecstatic! I did the week trial to make sure the app was something I wanted to pay for. This app was great and did exactly what it said it would do. I paid the yearly subscription for a product I believed did what I needed it too. And was perfect. Then the dreaded Verizon voice mail bug hit. Now, I know it was unexpected and not the fault of the app developers but I lost many voice mails. The only ones to get texted to me were from my husband. All the others just poof - disappeared. Once the fix was put in place there were many voicemails that showed up. I had 28 voice mails that were never texted to me. Some from my employer and even more from my husband which I thought were being sent by text. Now the “fix” is in place I have to go into the app to hear my voicemails, AND trust I’m getting every one. It’s frustrating that the app isn’t the same when I made the decision to pay the yearly subscription. Had I known in advance I would have done month to month and canceled. As it is I am debating deleting the app as I shouldn’t have to go into the app to hear my voice mails. And while I know they did what they could to fix it, and it’s still a great robo killer it’s just not what I paid for.

App claims to work, but you could get the same results with Apple’s built-in Silence Unknown Callers feature. 1: if using Standard Mode you get calls that are likely spam calls, so you hit decline and RoboKiller counts that as the app blocking the call. 2: if using Advanced Mode it requires Silence Unknown callers to be turned on, so you just never see any calls that aren’t in your contacts. No banner pop up show incoming calls, and call screening doesn’t work. Following a missed call that you actually wanted you‘ll just get a text that says Call Screening was unavailable. But hey, if you never get any calls, RoboKiller can just count that as blocking spam calls, even if you wanted them. 3: support is non existent. You send in a ticket and they just tell you to set the app back up. Basically they just tell you to run the Troubleshooting function. They also want you to turn off your carriers spam blocking functions, which fixes nothing. After you’ve gone through their steps that you coulda done just from the app or website, they’ve got nothing else and just ask you to do the same thing over and over. They eventually just stop replying to emails because that’s the only way to contact them. 4: even tho the app doesn’t work and they won’t help you, they don’t offer refunds.

It would be Nice if there was an option to set the call blocking up to where it blocks ALL calls not in our contact list. Lately a lot of the spammers have been getting past the auto blocking from just simply putting a plus (+) sign in front of the phone number. I have literally seen where the spammer will first try and call from a spoofed neighbor number where RoboKiller blocked it, and then they immediately try again right after but just simply putting a + sign in front of that exact same phone number and it gets past the call blocking. It would just be nice if we could opt to block ALL phone numbers that are not in our contact list! It is very unfortunate that the spammers have made this one of the only options to eliminate their harassment calls. Because there are times where I legitimately get calls from unknown numbers that are important such as from my daughter when she needs to use somebody else’s phone to call me. So that is why it would be nice to continue to get instant alerts for any voicemails that are left so that we know that it may have been an important phone call. Please fix this and make it an update and then it would be a five star app!

I need to know how to cancel my subscription or who to call. I do not want to be charged for a service that is answering important calls with the message I chose because I trusted it to work for all spam calls. Some spam calls are coming through. It does not appear to be able to always know who is spam & who is not. I see where I am supposed to be renewed April 2019 . I don’t want renewed at all. I don’t have any clear information on how to keep from being charged again. Updated: This blocked my moving company from contacting me Oct 2018, plus another business where a friend of mine works. Neither were able to contact me nor did they appreciate the message. It put stress on my move & had I not called the moving company, my move would have been cancelled that day. This caught a few spam calls, but RoboKiller really can’t tell when it is true spam or an important call much of the time. I hate the fact there is no customer service to contact by phone & you’re subscription will be automatically updated if you can’t unsubscribe or contact them to cancel it. I can’t delete it off my phone or following the instructions via computer because the program gives me messages that it did not work. I want my subscription cancelled I want this off of my phone with no error messages of how it is unable to uninstall

I’m extremely annoyed and disappointed of the way these guys are handling refund requests. But let me start at the beginning. I got this app, because some crazy scammer decided to bombard me with scam calls after I politely told him that the person he is asking for is not me and he got the wrong number. I received over 50 calls in less than 3 hours from various number ranges. So I installed this app here not knowing what I’m getting myself into. In short: their app blocked all calls from numbers that were not in my contacts. It didn’t notify me or anything. So I missed a bunch of important calls (90% of my calls are business related) and lost money that day. I had to revert half of the settings back to default. Unfortunately I forgot to delete the app and cancel the service before the free trial ended. So they charged me the crazy sum of $99,99 for the subscription. I cancelled the app immediately and deleted it from my phone, put in a refund request with Apple, got denied, contested it and got denied again although I had more than good cause to say the app wasn’t wrorkinf as expected and get a refund for this. So be careful, set an alarm within the trial period to cancel before it gets expensive. The app is definitely not worth $99,99!!!

DO NOT DOWNLOAD!!! SCAM ALERT!! I deleted the app and went to the website but there’s no other option to cancel and a week later they charged me $46.32 Canadian!!!!! I originally wanted this app because of IRLRosie, love her lots, she said she was one of the answer bots and I really need an answer bot, but this app only allows me to add a number to a block list which my phone already does. Sadly these ROBOKILLER developers scammed me out of $46 and I still have to deal with the same scammers calling me with their burner numbers everyday. I’m thoroughly disappointed.

The app only works to screw up your device. It does forward the spam calls but also captures legitimate calls. Then if you try to remove it it will trash your voicemail completely. It is NOT ready to be used with Canadian carriers.

If you’re in Canada, do NOT install this. I’m at almost $100 in call forwarding charges, just to avoid spam calls. Some of the robot responses are funny, but if I knew it was going to cost extra I would never have installed it!

I bought 1 yr. and have since cancelled my subscription so it can’t be renewed. I’ve had this software on my phone for a month now. Since I installed it I’ve been experiencing AN INCREASE in the number of scam calls. Today alone I received 3 foreign calls.

No Canadian carriers, so no Canadian customers. Now I have to find out how to ditch this waste of my time!

How in f••k do I get rid of this POS?!?!

I wish I’d have read the last review! I did try to cancel, I thought it worked as the subscription did not appear on my Apple subscriptions or on PayPal. Then this morning they took $51.86 CAD from my PayPal it was the last of our grocery money for the month of July!! I tried to email and I called every contact phone number this company has and they are ALL OUT OF SERVICE!! I doubt very much that PayPal will be able to resolve this as Robokiller does not offer confirmation that you cancelled!! Do NOT download this app!! To the people who made and run this app: how can you do this to people? How do you live with yourselves after you scam them when you know full well what the world is going through right now?

This app has been an expensive irritation. It was unclear to me when I purchased it that it relied on call forwarding - and that call forwarding was not included in my cell plan. So I got charged a call forwarding fee for every spam call. All calls (even allowed callers) go to RoboKiller’s voice mail, not my provider’s voice mail. Theoretically you should be able to record your own outgoing message on RoboKiller, but it won’t let me do that. So people who are used to my voicemail are confused. And many times it sends known callers directly to that voicemail without letting me answer my phone. The support site has some helpful articles that suggest why this app won’t work with my carrier - but that is only clearly a problem after you pay your approx $50/yr for the app. There is no live support and the support page suggests that you will wait a week for a reply to emails. I cannot wait a week. The problems are too serious. I have to eat the $50, pay for my carrier’s call forwarding fee and now presumably will be tormented when I try to remove this invasive app from my phone. There is some script that you have to run to actually remove the components from your phone. And you have to select your carrier for that to work and since the app does not work well with my carrier, I anticipate the torment will continue. Worst app I have ever got suckered by. It is worse than a waste of money - it is actively making life worse. The 7 day trial was simply not long enough to recognize the defects of this app and its problematic interface with my carrier. I doubt that this App should be permitted on the Canadian App Store.

Robokiller can’t be deleted due to call forwarding function. To delete app, you must contact your carrier to ask them to reset your call forwarding. Who wants to do that in order to delete an app? The worst ever.

The steps to cancel your subscription are not straight forward or easy. You have made it complicated with instructions that don’t work. That is unethical marketing practices.

After about a week and a half it simply stopped working. No change to settings, nothing. It just stopped screening calls. I also must have missed the small print about additional carrier charges. The app “forwards” calls in order to screen them. I was surprised when I received my phone bill and had been charged a flat fee for each call I received that was forwarded by the app. So in addition to the subscription fee for the app, your carrier may charge for the call forwarding. Bottom line: it cost a whole lot of money for absolutely nothing in return.

Be aware for this people , they are taking your phone number. This is against the piracy policy of canada . They don’t have to do anything with your phone number.

Apple should kick this app off the store! Absolutely criminal! They keep referring you to their website for help. And everything is related to American cell phone carriers. Absolute garbage. You should be ashamed you criminals!

This app is like a virus, once you set it up, I becomes next to impossible to remove. Redirects important calls, and will mess up your life until you do a phone restore.

None of the support articles mention Canadian carriers or how to get past setup. Don’t waste your time.

Deleted app and it’s still on my phone taking my voicemail

It was fun listening to a marketer talking to Samuel L Jackson for a full 1 minute but the app didn't work me. I live in Canada and some of these calls would get forwarded to an US number - these 2 features (call forwarding and long distance) are not included in my plan. I ended up paying and extra $30 for my last month's bill. Doing this every month just to zap telemarketers is not worth it to me. I have contacted apple for a refund.

No idea why this is in the Canadian App Store when it doesn’t support Canadian phone numbers. Tried anyway and it doesn’t work. It sends me the text but then says I must pick my provider and there’s no Canadian providers showing.

I downloaded this then I canceled after a day as it was blocking non spam calls. Despite canceling it is still blocking all types of incoming calls! This is a nightmare, I am missing work calls. Essentially anything not in your address book is blocked.

7 days free trial. Then $25 /year. I didn’t even try it. Figured billed right after the 7 days, not worth the hassle. Don’t download this just use the block caller on your phone. You can do what this app. does. Plus you must forward your spam calls to the US and pay long distance fees. Total rip off!!!

It blocks all of my calls. I misplaced my phone in the house one day. So I called my number from the home phone to listen for the ring tone. RoboKiller blocked the call even though my home phone is in my contacts list. I wonder how many legitimate calls it blocked. P.S. I did eventually find my phone.

Calls get forwarded to a long distance number. Got a shock of $200 bill on what I thought was my unlimited plan. Turns out call forward cost me both minutes and long distance. When someone called me was actually routed long distance and I was paying big!!!

App is a scam, forces you to enter your phone number before telling you that the app is not free and the cost is ridiculous. Deleted.

This app was recommended as one of the best. My experience was the opposite. I’m in Canada and after 5 days realized that the app was not doing anything for me. So I deleted it within the free trial period. What I didn’t know - here’s the sneaky part - was that the app was dialling a US phone multiple times a day. And I was being charged for each call. At the end of November I got a bill for $40 of these calls. It shows up as ‘call forward’ on the bill. The calls continue every day even into December. I am being billed for these calls. There is no way to stop them. No way to contact the company. No instructions on what to do to stop these bills. This is simply atrocious. Unless I cancel my phone I will be paying for these calls in perpetuity. A very bad way of trying to win customers when your app makes sneaky long distance calls which can’t be stopped even after removing the app. Just terrible.

I received a fat phone bill for the month that I used robokiller. They forwarded my calls to a number at my expense. I guess I should have read the fine print. On top of all that, it doesn't work. Actual people who call you cannot reach you. A better option is turning off your phone. You don't receive any calls (scam or regular) exactly like what happens with robokiller but without the monthly subscription and extra charges on your phone.

This app did nothing to stop scammers and spam calls. When it did work it blocked the calls I wanted. Don’t waste your money in getting this app.

Used for approximately 6 weeks, and have just deleted from iPhone. All of my incoming calls were forwarded to a U.S. #. I’m in Canada. My cell bill costs increased due each of these forwarded calls attracted a charge. If the caller is not already in your contact list, calls forward to the RoboKiller voicemail. App “rebooted” itself at least 3 times, and each time, would require you to sign in again. Before you can access your account, you have to enter a verification code. First time app “rebooted”, it was about 10 days before I was able to get a code. There is an option to call for the code, however, the call gets intercepted by RoboKiller. I requested, and received, a full refund from Apple.

In Google Search, you show up as being a “FREE” app. However, scratch surface, carefully check reviews here...& see fine print: “7 day free trial, then autorenews at your regular rate. Google should de-list Robokiller—-as well as permanent “Buyer Beware” tag attached

Omg I’m so mad. I live in Vancouver Canada and when calls come in they are forwarded by RoboKiller to Fort St John where their call screening is located and Telus charged me long distance for EVERY call forwarded!! I emailed RoboKiller support but they took 4 weeks to get back to me even after multiple emails! They told me to dial ##004# on my cell phone to stop the call forwarding so I did and that worked but it basically stops RoboKiller from doing its job that I PAID FOR. Do NOT use this app in Canada.😡

I installed this app thinking it was free. When I saw it required a subscription I deleted it. Unfortunately, one week later my iTunes account was charged $40.99 for a full year! I even did not use the app and will never use it! I do not know now how to be refund ! This app is a scam that earns money more easily than spam calls! I wished I could give 0 star!!! Too disgusted to get trapped!

Doesn’t work! Still receiving scam calls from the same area, give my money back!

It only blocks it if you put the number in yourself, which you don’t need an app for as your phone is already equipped to do that .

This app is either something useful that is entirely overpriced, or something useless that is STAGGERINGLY overpriced, or simply a scam. I’m not sure which because I never made it through the activation - the privacy concerns are just too worrisome to justify using this at all. The app wants full access to your contacts, phone call metadata, voice mail, greetings, and SMS system - all of this with a privacy and data usage statement that is somewhere between useless and actually scary. And on top of all of that, the price is laughably outrageous - more than 20 dollars a month in a shady subscription system that looks to hoodwink users into paying and paying repeatedly. Three strikes and you’re out - don’t waste your time or (especially) your money.

It changes your greeting and seems impossible to deactivate. The support, email and chat supposed to be there but you will not get any answers there.

First of all the app doesn’t work in Ontario Also it doesn’t say it’s a Subscription app It says free free usually means you don’t subscribe and there’s no cost involved don’t even bother trying this program the company is a scam

After download install and set up, the very first call I got was from a scammer

Do iPhone users not realize you have a build in Device on your iPhone that does the same thing ! And it does not cost you a dime !

Can’t disable or delete account

Useful for blocking spam calls, but it was also blocking my contacts despite me having all the correct settings… I had to uninstall it because I was missing important phone calls.

Not blocking spam calls. Just waste tool.

For years after cancellation now they are still forwarding calls costing me hundreds in call forwarding charges.

Works sometimes , silences calls that are in my contacts , not impressed

Why was this published to other countries if it’s not supported?

UPDATE: THEY INCREASED THE PRICE BY $50! I used to love this app and told everyone I knew to get it. I even have the annual membership but as of late, scammers, solicitors and the like are finding ways to circumvent the verification process. They now time their recordings so it tricks the system. If it continues, I’ll have to find a new service altogether. Also now, when I google a number from my phone “robocallers” results pop up first which isn’t helpful as the system doesn’t know who it is. Disappointing.

While this app does work for the most part, it’s far from perfect. I have been using the paid, premium version for over a year now. The technical support team is extremely slow and unresponsive. It took over a month to fix a post-update bug that stopped Canadian customers from activating the app. That’s a month of paid service I did not receive and I’ve been given no compensation for it. I have also made am important suggestion several times over the past year, that the outgoing screening message be changed or become customizable. The current wording is not effective and people mistake the screening announcement for voicemail. They then try to leave a voicemail and hang up rather than stating who they are and why they are calling, and holding onto the line while I have a chance to review it. I don’t know how much active development and app improvement is actually happening, but I would venture to say very little to none. Every time I’ve made this suggestion, I’ve been given a canned response and no indication that it will ever be taken seriously. The only reason I am still using this app is because it is peerless in what it purports to do, and the only other competing product that comes close is equally worthless when it comes to tech support. And it doesn’t actually work whereas this one does. In other words. If another app came along that did what this app does, or if my carrier implemented a call screening function in the future, I’d probably drop Robocaller in a heartbeat at this rate. But honestly. For $130 a year I should be receiving far better service and product improvement than what I’m getting now. This is why my rating is worth two stars.

Delete.

Sucks Does not work in Canada
