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.

My phone got to the point where I got15-20 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.

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.
