Nomorobo Max Spam Call Blocker

I think this app is doing about the same that the phone offers for blocking calls. It doesn’t really seem much different. However it does offer SMS blocking. I find it strange that it just blocks everything especially if it is someone calling that isn’t in your contacts. Which is the same function as the iPhone already provides. So does it work? I think so. Does it work better than what is already built into the phone? At this moment, I would say “no, not really.” I know everyone is pushing AI as some fix all. If they claim it, which I believe they do, then I don’t see much AI’ing going on. It would be valuable if they simply had a database of known spam numbers rather than me developing that list for them. There doesn’t seem to be that with this app. I have to tell it if something is spam or it does go by a default “not in contacts” block/mark as spam. Who knows? Maybe they just collect my info and sell it to companies? Excuse me, I mean Third party partners. It does feel I’ve gotten more spam calls since then. Again, who knows. I should’ve only gotten the monthly subscription as opposed to yearly subscription. I just don’t know if there is a value in the service or does it even provide anything over the current features of my iPhone 14 Pro. I really don’t think so. I think I will pass on recommending this app and service. If I find it’s better than what’s already built into the iPhone then, I may change this review. We’ll see.

Nomorobo Max effectively shields against unwanted calls and texts, leveraging its continuously updated database of known spam numbers to scan, evaluate, and block suspicious callers. The application's voicemail analysis service adds an extra layer of protection by screening recorded messages. While the app occasionally misidentifies legitimate callers as spam - which can be frustrating if you're expecting important calls - false positives are infrequent. The system may not catch brand-new spam numbers immediately, but it adapts quickly as its database expands. Among robocall-blocking solutions I've tested, Nomorobo Max stands out for its comprehensive approach and reliable performance. Key strengths include the large suspicious numbers database and call screening capability. However, there's room for improvement in fine-tuning the spam detection algorithm to reduce false positives. Users should also know they can whitelist important numbers to prevent accidental blocking. Despite minor drawbacks, the app delivers strong protection against unwanted calls and represents a worthwhile investment for people like me who are plagued by spam callers.

I hardly ever review apps but felt compelled to write one for Nomorobo. It works, I really love the call screening feature for non-spam numbers it has where the virtual agent will let me know who is calling and place the caller on hold until I accept / reject call. I was a bit skeptical at first about the call forwarding setup but after trying it for a couple of weeks I cannot recommend it enough. No robó calls have been allowed through and no important non-spam numbers have been blocked due to the call screening feature! The only app suggestion I have as a multi-esim user is I would love the app to support its features on more than one line. As a Canadian ex pat I have both a Canadian and US number and cannot take full advantage of this on both lines. This is the only reason I did not give the app a perfect score. For single-line users this app should work like a charm.
