The app may be good for certain callers that use established numbers. But it is useless when Scammers are spoofing on every call. Robokiller will have you set your phone to not accept unknown callers. It then intercepts those calls with a pre recorded conversation. Your phone is blocking the call due to the phone setting anyone can do without Robokiller. On top of that I now get scammer calls marked as “Robokiller Safe Call” coming through. The scammers are outsmarting Robokiller. Robokiller needs to up their game. This was a great app a few years ago. Not so much anymore. Update: Robo Killer is good if you want to screw with the telemarketers. In exchange, you are going to get a lot more calls from the scammers. Unfortunately if you want or need to turn off the app, your phone is going to blow up with spoofed calls. In my case, I have AT&T. AT&T has its own app that can be d/l on the App Store called “Active Armour”. It is free to AT&T users and will straight up stop all of the scam calls including ones that are spoofed. I can assume that the other carriers have similar apps. AT&T has a way of knowing which calls are spoofed right off the bat and will block it. I don’t think Robo Killer has that ability. So, if you want to screw with the scammers, use Robo Killer. If you just want to stop the scam calls, use the free app provided by your carrier.

I’ve been using Robokiller for about a year, or a little over a year, and I’m very impressed by it. Before I got it, I was getting spam calls and texts left and right, and it was really annoying. I found Robokiller in the store and did the free trial. I set up everything the app needed so it could do its purpose. To my amazement, during the free trial, my phone was quiet from spammers, and it was a relief. Sure, there were times it didn’t work, but that’s because my phone kept forgetting that I have Robokiller installed, so I had to go to my phone settings to remind it. I know it works because I’ve had people call me and tell me that it would send them to the voicemail I setup with Robokiller. Without me telling them about it. Is it pricey? Yeah, sure, but is it worth it? Absolutely. If you own a business that’s a different story, and hopefully you’re using a company phone. This is more for your personal day-to-day phone. I do, however, wish that Robokiller can separate voicemails from known numbers to my phone instead of sending them to Robokiller. If someone I love passes away and leaves a voicemail, once I uninstall the app, that voicemail is gone. So find a way to separate them, known number voicemails to phone and spam voicemails to Robokiller. Other than that Robokiller is great, and I can’t live without it. Until developers somehow manage to jeopardize it, then it’s bye-bye.

I am not an app developer or anything, so maybe it is much more complicated than website development, but this app could use a few improvements. I installed it on my work phone because my number gets out there a lot. I have not had any problem with the app blocking calls, but once they get blocked I only get one chance to view the number. Sometimes it will let me tap the notification and call the number back, other times it just takes me to the apps Home Screen. I wish there was a call history on the app. Also I have not yet been able to access any voicemails that are left “through” the app. I contacted customer service and they said to upgrade the version to fix this. That did absolutely nothing. As someone else mentioned, my spam calls have increased dramatically, and ironically they have increased exponentially on my personal phone that does not have the app. I got 21 spam calls on my personal phone yesterday alone. Before downloading the app I would get 1-5 a day. Unfortunately this is my work phone so I get a lot of calls from clients who’s number I do not have saved. My only solution now is to turn RoboKiller off, but it will still silence or block calls, then I can not go back and access that phone number. Therefore I have to also go into my phone settings to deny the app permissions. It is mildly infuriating and I hope someday they add a call log to the app.
