Easily blocks all of the dozens of Flubot scams every day. Unfortunately, Apple do not allow wildcard call blocking, so the developer had to resort to blocking number ranges by automating entries for every number in a specified range. This is slow, and limits how many can be blocked. It is impossible to block a whole country like India for instance. I hope that Apple will allow what we have all wanted for a long time. Also hope they allow the app on the M1 macs soon.

Thank you for your review!
This app really works

Read all the reviews and decided to download the app. Takes a little bit of time to add the phone numbers and was happy you can add part numbers. Used to get electricity calls at 7pm every night with the same first 4 numbers and have not received any since I have used the app. Definitely gives you peace of mind. Definitely 5 stars.

Working fine
LKnotch
Got 5 scam calls from the same pattern within 5 hours so downloaded this, tested with a friend by blocking the pattern starting with her number, seems to be working for me. Just one question, when configuring the CALL IDENTIFICATION APPS under iPhone settings, I see A huge list of WideProtect - xx (number), what do the numbers stand for? Do I need to enable all of them?
Developer Response
Thank you very much for your review! The reason why you see 60 WideProtects is that iOS allows to block only up to 2 millions numbers by one extension. So I have added 60 extensions to block up to 120 millions numbers.You can enable all of them (they are not taking memory or energy), and they will be used when needed. Also the app tells you how many extensions you should enable to block all numbers you want (below the prefixes list).
It just works hardly any annoying call centres
