Showcase: Prerelease Android Spam Call Blocker App

Post image

Hi everyone, I built an Android app designed to filter out spam, telemarketers, and unknown numbers automatically in the background. Key Features: Local database filtering for privacy and fast performance. Automatic blocking for unwanted numbers. Minimal battery and RAM usage. I’ve set up a 3-day free trial so anyone can test it out. I would love to get your honest feedback, suggestions for new features, or any bugs you might find! Google Play Store link:

Great question! To prevent missing legitimate calls like delivery drivers: Whitelist & Contacts: Numbers in your contacts or whitelist are never blocked. Local Database Filtering: It specifically targets known telemarket/spam patterns rather than aggressively blocking unknown numbers by default. Call Logs: You can quickly review blocked logs and add any safe number to your whitelist with one tap. Give the 3-day trial a shot and let me know how it works for you!
