Call Protect Reviews

CallProtect was disappointing from start to finish. First day that I had CallProtect, I thought it was working AT FIRST. No spam calls for an hour. Then after that, I got TWO AT ONCE and then after I hung those both up, I got another one. Literally downloading CallProtect made MORE spam calls show up on my phone and TWO CALLED AT THE SAME TIME. Never had that happen before CallProtect. And no, I’m not from a spam phone company saying don’t get this because of it. I’m saying that CallProtect is essentially worthless even if you do pay money into it to protect you. I just had it for two days and deleted it after. Save your time and money and find something else. For now, I’ll just go back to the old fashioned way of blocking them on my phone manually or reporting the phone calls to the BBB so they can be investigated and shut down.

I have had this installed for several months. It has so far only given me heads up if one call. I have continued to get scammers calling and there is a pretty serious one going around where they sound all official and say they are going to verify your employment and give you a case number etc and if you don’t respond and pay they will be filing a civil action against you. This is a scam. I have reported two of the numbers that have called me so far and I have blocked them and out the numbers in CallProtect . This is well known on the net yet they keep calling with new numbers. They all work that way you block one scammer they call you on a different number. I can imagine it’s hard for an app to keep up. However I would have expected more than 1 lousy warning that I was getting a robo call in all of the months I have had it installed. No need to have it take up space

I am disturbed that people that don’t want spam are reporting credit card support numbers and medical support lines as spam causing the inability of their customers to contact them or they contact their customers since card holders and medical companies who insure the individual being called have the legal rights to be able to contact their clients.

Credit card holders, banks, credit unions, insurance, medical and other businesses who’s customer have accounts with have the legal rights to call or email the account holders.

When the call phone companies implemented the automatic call rejection by law it blocked some of these numbers as well and it cause me to not get a very important call.

Lazy people who don’t want to be called can easily program their own phone to block all but calls from their own contact list.
(White listing is to most effective means to block unwanted calls)

However spammers who can mirror your phone number or the phone number of your contact list should be blocked and prosecuted.

Talking to a technician representative from my cell phone company I got this poorly implemented government mandated auto spam blocking solution removed from my cell phones. They stated they had to implement their internally developed (without doing enough testing for performance) and it was so effective it blocked legitimate phone calls by the data mandated by the federal government.

It seems like I’m the only one doing the feedback when I get a malicious call. Also, why only show the cellular provider detail, we need the actual name/company name of the call. It’s not helpful knowing it’s Verizon or whomever calling, we need the name. Also, like Robocall blocker, why not include a playback version of the voice Mail they leave? Again though, almost ever call I get (in the dozens a week), I’m the one adding the feedback, it’s rare when someone else has reported the number. What up?
UPDATE: still only shows the prover and not the actual caller. That’s useless. Also, it still seems as though I’m the only one adding feedback on the malicious caller! Then there are the ad’s. Yeah I get that you have to make money but do the ad’s have to be so intrusive????? Come on, make CallProtect more usable, block more numbers, give caller detail, and less intrusive ad’s. Low star review. But I suppose it’s better than nothin, which isn’t saying much about CallProtect .

Overall, sure I’m still getting robocalls but CallProtect has decreased that amount.
A great perk to CallProtect is the ability to block number ranges which is an awesome feature, however you’re limited to a static amount of numbers within that range each time you want to add one. This makes blocking an entire prefix (345-xxx-xxxx) painfully cumbersome.
For me, my 3-star would gladly be a 5 if there was a way to perform a massive one-time import of ranges and then remove the few I still want to receive.
As a novice programmer myself, I can comprehend the resources required to allow this and the potential hazard it could create for the user, all while still offering CallProtect for free.
Other than that subtle con, CallProtect does indeed perform as well as other reviewers have stated. Thanks for the hard work, guys!

No spam blocker is going to stop all calls. People need to accept that fact. This one, however, does seem to work better than any of the others I have had. I was getting up to 20 calls a day. Since I’ve had this (about 2 months), I may get 2-5 on some days, and some days I get none. The only issue I have is that twice I’ve seen the amount of numbers I am protected from go DOWN. When I open CallProtect , it starts to update the amount of numbers I am protected from and on two separate occasions, the number that was there deceased, instead of going up. That’s just weird. Other than that, I’m happy with this.

I installed CallProtect a few month ago when I was getting 5 calls a day from robot (SSN scam, etc.). As soon as I installed it, almost all of them disappeared!
I also don’t understand people complaining about the ads being pushy and whatnot: CallProtect runs in the background and you only have to open it to update your database or manually block numbers. It’s not like ads were ruining your experience…

I took a star off tho, because now there is an option for a paid plan, I do not seem to find what my “basic plan” covers anymore.
Could you add a chart with what the normal plan does vs the pro? Because “Regularly updated spam database” does not give me information. What does that mean? That my “basic” database will be updated only once a week? A month? Never?

I never considered writing an app review before but I have to spend time to tell you how amazing CallProtect is.
No more spam calls at all! For 3-4 weeks already.
I saw that there are silly people who complained about CallProtect doesn't work at all (probably they don't understand how a filter work) or there is even a ridiculous guy say something like well spam calls get drop from 8-10 per week down to 4-5 and conclude that CallProtect is not working perfectly so he deleted it. What on earth is his point??? CallProtect literally saves him half of his time on picking up spam calls and that's not good enough for him??

Well first off all, CallProtect doesn't charge you a dime to use, so why not try it out? Second, CallProtect works! Just update the filter Data base weekly and you are good. If there is a few spam calls which make it through, REPORT the number.

Lastly, here is the main point that many people dont understand correctly. An Umbrella doesn't guarantee you to be completely dry during a heavy rain, but it will significantly reduce your wetness. Same principle apply here. Think of CallProtect as the umbrella and hundreds of thousands spam numbers out there are the rain.

My accountant told me about Call Protect. The first couple weeks I noticed my calls were about half and here’s the trick, every time you get a robot call take that number and put it into app under Block Number. I now have about 25 numbers in there that I’ve blocked after about six weeks time. As every week goes by I get less calls. I’m down to about one a week where before, I had between three and five a day. You will also receive updates about biweekly so keep it updated and doing that takes about two or three seconds. CallProtect works and it’s awesome easy and free! I’ve put it on my husband and my two sons’ phones and they’ve noticed a difference as well. YAY! Thank you Call Protect for having a positive impact on my life!

This is a great call blocking app! I am Very Satisfied! I first downloaded another app, but was Not happy after reading reviews of it, so I deleted it, and then I downloaded Call Protect. I have had it maybe a week, and after manually adding spam call numbers I was getting, now I have Blessed silence from unwanted calls! I wasn’t getting a whole lot of spam calls before I finally downloaded CallProtect, but the calls were still extremely annoying. CallProtect allows the user to manually add a single number to block, or the user can block a range of numbers, which I have found Most useful. Also, adding your personal friends from your phone list is OPTIONAL. I definitely recommend Call Protect!

Oki, so after trying out Hiya, Roboshield etc, none of which worked for me, CallProtect was my last option. I’m so glad I did - CallProtect has huge database of blocked numbers as well create your own blocking database with either individual numbers or entire range. The entire range feature was also posted to accommodate better range blocking as per my suggestion and the devs incorporated it! Speaking of which, these guys have best customer support out there - i mean i talk with them daily through their text support and someone is always responding back to me within minutes! I recommended few changes and the devs even went ahead and incorporated those suggestions as well! So far, CallProtect is working flawlessly in blocking most spam calls and I intend to keep it for long.

I have been using CallProtect for several months, and the number of spam and scam calls has decreased to almost nothing. I used to have 30-40 missed calls every morning on my phone, now there may be 1 or 2 per week. Outstanding!!!
I do manually add numbers that make it through as well as block them within my phone app. If a spammer/scammer call does get through I love to mess with them. “Hello?........Hello??.........Is anybody there????”. I speak right over the top of them so it seems as though I cannot hear them or understand them. I wish I spoke a second language, that would really throw them for a loop 🤪🤣.
This is a great app, it works very well for me. THANK YOU THANK YOU
THANK YOU 🙏

I am absolutely pleased with Call Protect. I was getting anywhere from 30-35 robo and scam calls a day. It was so frustrating. There is still a few that come through but that is to be expected and it’s getting better as I list them and have learned how to update regularly. I am so pleased with this and the best bonus was it being free. I have got about 1 text message a day in the last 3 days that is scam. I have to learn how to find the phone number on a text message to add them to the list. That may sound odd but I am an elderly person that is not real tech savvy.
Keep up the good work Call Protect! I am so proud of an app that works so great and definitely is in the elderly fixed income bracket (as it is free).

My wife and I each received approximately 25 spam calls per day. We tried every call blocker app and paid the subscriptions. We saw a reduction in spam calls but we each received 5+ spam calls per day after installing. We didn’t try Call Protect because it was free and “you get what you pay for“ right? Wrong! My wife is not techy so I installed CallProtect on her phone and didn’t tell her. I updated the list daily. A week later I asked her if she was receiving spam calls. She said “come to think about it I haven’t had a spam call in a while”. I told 5 friends about it and they had the same results. Me too. It’s the best spam blocker you can find.

I can’t seem to update my earlier review, so I am writing a new one to thank this extraordinarily responsive developer team.

I have used CallProtect for nearly a year, and loved it. This week it had an update, and after that, it was not protecting any numbers. I followed the instructions in CallProtect to enable it, but they did not work. I was really sad, because I love CallProtect .

I rated the new version with a 1-star rating 2 days ago and wrote a review stating why. Today I received a message that the developers had responded. I followed their new instructions and after several glitches was able to make it work. I tapped on the place to contact them for help, and was surprised on a Sunday morning to have somebody text me back immediately with assistance. We had some back-and-forth discussion, and they were able to resolve my problem.

While I was unhappy that CallProtect did not update as expected, and I had to uninstall it and reinstall it several times, and restart my phone several times, I want to say that I am so impressed with the quality of customer service that I would give this a six star rating if I possibly could, just based on the responsiveness of their team. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I like CallProtect because it identifies numbers that are unknown or no number available or telemarketing numbers as potential spam. Tells you what the threat level is and does not ring your phone. You can search the number to see if you know the number. If it is spam it will tell you. If it is a registered number it will tell you who it is registered to then you can make up your mind to leave the number to come through the next time by naming it, or you can block the number and tell what kind of call it is. If you want you also have the capability to share the information with your friends. Great App.

CallProtect is pretty good. Was tired of getting so many spam calls or from out of the area calls and searched for some apps and found this one, at first I wasn’t sure since a lot of apps aren’t that great but surprisingly this one is good. I don’t get lots of out of the area phone calls anymore & what’s cool is it shows you how many numbers are blocked from calling and you can also type in the phone number that called you and find out if it’s spam and you can block it on here too. Told my mom about CallProtect she downloaded it and likes it too. 👍🏻

This has been one of the best apps I have ever gotten! I’ve only got the free version so far but I am very impressed and pleased with it!
I’ve only had it for about 2 weeks and it has already blocked over 6 million unwanted/unnecessary/ calls on my phone! And all for free!!
I can’t say enough good about CallProtect! If you get a lot of unwanted sales and telemarketing calls a day, you need CallProtect! Like I said, I only have the free version and haven’t got a clue how much better the paid version is, but this IS a great app and definitely worth the space it takes on my phone! So impressed that I actually am taking the time out of my very busy day to actually give a review, which is something I almost NEVER do! And they didn’t even ask me for a rating or a review! I am doing this all on my own!

So far so good with CallProtect! Before I installed it about a week or so ago, I was getting a lot of Spam TEXT Messages every day so I’d write down the numbers to keep track of them. When I got CallProtect , I immediately added all of those Spam numbers to the “Block List” and it has worked!! I have yet to have one of those “blocked” numbers come through.
I would suggest to the people that seem to be having a problem with CallProtect to start writing down the numbers you consider are Spam, etc., then actually type them into the Blocked Number list in CallProtect . It’s very easy to do and you don’t have to open up any of the messages to get the # they’re coming from. I think it gives CallProtect a way to start out and search for the correct type of numbers to block. As I previously said, I have yet to have a one of them come through!

I’ve been using CallProtect for probably 4-5 years now and it works great. In the beginning I still received a few unwanted calls, I’m not sure if it was still working out some kinks or if it was learning my list or what but now those calls
Never Come through. Once in awhile one will leave a v/m but usually they don’t. I get maybe 1 - 2 spam v/m per month. So the call comes in CallProtect just blocks it from actually ringing my phone. Which is fine by me. I’m a teacher and like to keep my phone on for emergencies from my own kids but I can’t have my phone ringing off the hook during class and there was a time it was ringing about every hour or so. Or sometimes back to back w the same caller. Plus the reverse look up has proved to be helpful on several occasions and I can add numbers that should blocked for others as well. Go ahead and give CallProtect a try.
