Very very effective

It’s amazing how hard I get hammered with texts from political groups looking for $$$. The first few weeks I was adding filters like crazy, now after several weeks the amount that gets through is one to three a week. Nice. Being filtered to Junk messages, makes it easy to scan them (if you’re paranoid that one of them is important; you’ll get over it) since they’re all in one place and not mixed in with your regular texts. Highly recommend this app. I’m going to install it on my wife’s phone, and export the list to her. Sweet.

This is the SMS filter I’ve been looking for, no more political ads, no more spam… just the texts I want to see. I’ve been using the paid version for over a year, it’s never failed me and keeps getting better with every update!!! Dev is super responsive to questions too. 10 of 10 will recommend. If someone says it’s not working, it’s because they haven’t enabled it in settings properly.

Did not work as advertised. Emailed got no answers

I tried to block a bunch of text messages and it came from a +1 (646) number. I tried to put a + in front of the 1 but it won’t let me so I had to put 1 646 * and 1 646-* which supposed to block all numbers start with +1 646. Well text messages with that same number still get through since there is no way for me to put a + in front of the one. The number pad did have a + sign but it won’t let you enter it. I sent the author an email and it has been quite a few days. There is no answer. I bought both programs from him so I will try a different app and get my money back hopefully.I did grant the app permission in Setting.

This one and the brother app that they make or he makes also called WideProtect but for phone calls. This one is for texting from what I understand. Both are awesome. They do exactly what they’re supposed to do. I don’t get any more spam calls or text very easy to use very cheap awesome software thank you to the program programmer thank you thank you thank you.

Added pre-defined patterns for Austria and Switzerland premium rates numbers. Adapted a bit for iOS 26 UI. And other performance improvements. If you like the app, feel free to give us a rate on the App Store, we will really appreciate it!
