About this app

Get rid of the unsolicited calls once forever. Safely and absolutely free.

Telemarketers, phone scams or „just“ unsolicited surveys? The Should I Answer app can get you rid of all such calls.

How does the app work?


Whenever some unknown number calls the app checks it in its permanently updated database - immediately, without internet connection. If it finds out that other users reported the respective number as nuisance, it warns you against it. Or if you want it so, it can block it directly, the caller will not be able to reach you.

It is just the database used by the Should I Answer app which is an absolute unique part. It is composed directly by the users of the app: after each unknown call the users can rate it anonymously either as safe or spam. After approval given by our admins the report is then visible in the database where all users can benefit from.

What the app can do?


• It can protect you effectively against the unsolicited calls. You can set the level of protection exactly according to your needs: from simple alert of unsolicited call to direct blocking.

• It can block even hidden, foreign or premium rate numbers. Also you can write your own lists of blocked or allowed numbers.

• The app can be used as fully functional dialer app: you will find all your Contacts, favourite Contacts and complete call history in it.

• The app can protect you even offline. If you need to update the local database it waits for your wi-fi connection.

• It’s simple, even your grandma can use it :-)


How does the app deal with your personal data?


Everything is happening directly in your phone, and in your phone only - your data is never by passed to some 3rd party. The app can’t „see“ even your own phone number, all reports are fully anonymous, the app doesn’t send even your Contacts anywhere.

Excellent at blocking unwanted calls. If you're willing to have a data update every so often (not often!) then the app is free. It's not very expensive; I think it's $1.99 a month if you want the app to update automatically. You can block with wildcards which is very helpful if you have a lot of unknown calls from a specific area code. The app also can lookup calls to see if the numbers have been reported to the SIA database as being unknown, collections, sales.

Loved this app when first installed but now I keep getting messages saying the app hasn't been updated for x number of days when I have clicked the option and the app reports the update is finished. I'm getting several messages a day to update, to the point it's annoying. I don't subscribe yet as my income is limited but I'm fairly certain this behaviour is to try to force me to! I have reported the issue but received no resolution.

It wa an app to died for! Not anymore! This app does block the call once it is showed it is a call from a list of labels as scam, robot call, telemarketers or a call you make the choice to block! Yes, if it is a number that has not been reported, it lets it ring, but you can still get it blocked by "Should I Answer"! ever! I don't agree with their methods trying to force you to purchase as a donation, it is a small amount, but that was not like when I sign up with them. They have changed, not
