Call Control Reviews

I use this but about 75% of telemarking still gets through till I manually block them on the phone app. Not sure how soon after call you have to push button on top of unit after receiving the call. Another problem you have to be within 5 feet of home unit for phone app to update recent calls and it takes about 5 minutes. CallControl comes with 5 identifying previous number options and then you have to buy more at .30 each. Pretty expensive since you have to use that option to identify previous callers as who remembers calls from past few days. That option should be included or make CallControl update every few hours from anywhere.

Common sense and simple fact is that it is really senseless for iPhones. You have to manually enter the numbers you want blocked, which you can do on an iPhone without any application. There’s no record kept of what numbers were blocked by the application, good to have just in case it was blocking an important number by accident of a friend family or so forth, or to even see if it has been even blocking anything or working. A useless purchase for an iPhone user and maybe other users as well because of other features.

I had a couple of questions and they do respond quickly to emails and they are helpful responses. CallControl seems to be blocking spoof calls since I have not gotten any lately and I was getting them every single day! The only negatives are CallControl has to be left open to work! Why? It’s very hard to leave it open as I usually use and close everything plus this window is always in the way ... also it’s a little deceptive between free and free trial. I now see it’s free for 60 days but many apps offer a lite version or offer one with advertising for free. Why not with CallControl? I probably won’t continue after 60 days... update to 4 stars after the developer response. If CallControl isn’t working for you, make sure you enabled it to block in your phone call settings because it works perfectly for me. Thanks

There are a.few call still getting through Some vulgar they are waking up at night should have IT people made keep a list
of the calls to see who called and left u any money, might be a rich uncle who left you a lot of money. Say u entered a drawing an you won how could they contact you . I Hope you understand. Regards David I’ve had your app over a month now and it letting get there perverted calls say I applied for a job they couldn’t call me that I had gotten the job

So I read the reviews and actually came here because of it but after installing CallControl I was asked to either sign in with a Facebook or goggle account. I never had to do that with any other apps that I had or with the ones that blocks unwanted calls. This may sound good but I don’t think I need to get an account on Facebook or google to do this. Very disappointed. I have yet to find an app for iOS that works to simply prevent robot calls, spams, telemarketing and spoof calls without jumping over hoops to stop these calls. On top of that, the calls still are coming through and I have to block them myself. What is the point in having CallControl if you have to do the work in blocking it and adding it to the enormous list that should have been there to block the calls in the first place.

I’ve only had CallControl for two days one thing I can add right now is that I wish there was a way to directly connect my call list to CallControl so that the number could be easily transferred but calls trying to remember the number and making sure that I have don’t put in a wrong number has been one of my biggest concerns right now other than that it seems to be working just fine

I am really trying to find out the difference between call control and Hiya . Call control only give a limit amount of lookup numbers with hiya there is no limit now I found both of them are not blocking all unwanted calls. Hiya is about 30% blocks call and I haven't seen call control block much better so call control show me how you are Much better please I need to know this before I upgrade and waste my money

I think I like CallControl. It seems to have blocked the numbers that mimic mine which are so annoying (thanks, Federal Government!), but for some reason I'm getting the same type of calls based off my old number as well. Unfortunately CallControl only allows you to block based on a single phone number, so it's not really effective in that sense.

Other thoughts include my inability to verify exactly what it's doing. Not sure if it's actually blocking anything and can't figure out what options I have available in the lite versus paid version. It's also awfully expensive to subscribe to compared to other crowd-sourced technologies

I’ve been using the apps trial period for the last six days. From what I can tell CallControl works pretty good except for the the last three days. I have received eight spam calls directly to my phone that was supposed to have been blocked by CallControl . Due to it not working at is full capability I do not feel is worth $9.99 quarterly, and I don’t know if quarterly means monthly but I don’t feel comfortable paying $10 for something that may or may not work it is for a month.

Recently, I have been suffering from a really persistent spoof robocall that calls me 15-20 times a day. Desperate, I downloaded a few call blockers like Hiya and was unsatisfied because they were useless since they block nothing unless you pay. However, with the Call Control app they offered me everything I asked for even at a basic free plan. If anything requires me to up my phone security further, Call Control will be the first thing I’ll ever consider paying for!

Also, it would be nice to be able to block more than 1 number by prefix since not all spoofed callers are neighborhood spoofs. You could allow free users to block up to 5 while paid users can get up to 25 or something depending on plan.

Keep up the great work!

iOs user. Installed it four days ago. Still in trial mode. Before I was getting minimum one call per day. Have received just two any bot/spoof calls since installation. It may we’ll be Call Control doing its job, but ios version can’t tell you for sure what it has blocked. I asked a question about this and they were really good about explaining it. I’m going from 3 to 4 stars.

I’ve only been using car control for a couple of days but are used to get at least 50 spam calls a day now a don’t get any just my notifications that they called so far so good I’ll give it five stars so far thank you call control…

Since installing CallControl all bogus calls stopped and now I have a piece of mind. I had Truecaller, but calls continued. As soon as I installed CallControl everything stopped and I can now sleep without the constant calls about vehicle warranties and other telemarketers. Wish the government will step up and start punishing these people.

This is a great app and I would recommend downloading CallControl . It has already identified many scam phone numbers and CallControl will also identify where the call is coming from. I was getting so many of these calls nonstop so this has been a blessing in disguise!! Thank you very much for creating an App that actually works!!

I been a LONG time customer. Grandfathered in. And one thing I can truly say about CallControl…it’s PHENOMENAL! No issues ever since inception (2008)! I been with these guys since the beginning and have seen nothing but a great service. They have honored the early customers their word of being grandfathered in to this day. Great app!

Really pleasantly surprised at how well this has helped to cut down on spam calls. My phone used to get blown up by garbage calls. Now I only get occasional robocallers/spam calls and as long as I report/block to CallControl, I can actually go a good little while without ANY garbage calls coming through at all.

I have been using CallControl for a very long time... however after an update it turned itself off in settings. I tried turning itself back on to only get the message: “error enabling extension the data provided by this app was invadid. You may try enabling the extension again, and if the problem persists contact the application developer”. Please help.

I had Call Control years ago with my 1st Blackberry. When I switched phones I lost track of CallControl . After all these years I downloaded it to my new iPhone and was able to set up my paid version again. With help from their customer service dept. I’ve since recommended it to a few friends who have set it up. It’s already blocking a few numbers that have been torturing me lately. Thank you Call Control.

Just what I was looking for using the community to get rid of spam. I also signed up for a (another) year. This is my second year. Spammers hate me. I have waxed so many spammers I’ve lost count. I have at least 3 spammers have devoted there efforts to clock me but never have. If you want to sleep good at night rest easy buy a year of call control and thank me for this review. see you on bagging the next spammer. Be real and be proud.

Well I have only had the Call Control app for two days and I don’t remember getting one call from an unknown caller! So far so good!
Well it has been about 10 days and a few calls a day are still leaking through but I was getting about 6 a day so it has improved.
