This app's pretty good, but like what others have mentioned. I don't want the app to read my SMS, I also don't want to use the SMS auto scan url feature, and there's no way to disable it at the moment. It's not entirely their fault, but the first issue is that google messages detects dates as links to add to calendar, the second is some currencies/numbers with decimals also get detected by the app as links. And that results in the SMSes being dangerous.

The display caller ID feature is working as expected but there are many features that are not implemented well. For example, after updating the database manually of the free subscription version, it always shows ads with sound. It is especially embarrassing in an working environment. In addition, I do not need the software to read all my SMS messages but once I only block the SMS access, every other features no longer work. It is not great to force users to accept you to read all my SMS messages

Won't get heard unless I give a 1 these days. App keeps sending "beware of scammers" despite having notifications turned off. That's right. They use their own notifications, bypassing the system settings. Have to find out and click it out. Seriously?
