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.

Doesn't work, absolutely useless on a Poco F1, tried everything suggested online, draw overlay over top, set as default calling app, turned off restrict background activity power thing, followed every single thing, and all it does is blocked all my calls to voicemail despite changing EVERY blocking setting, and NEVER EVER popped up with ANY notification at all while a call was received whether blocked or on my call list. Complete waste of time for me. just have to put up with Scammers I guess.

Much better than the previous version which didn't always block calls... This one does. Love the community comments and always add mine. It has made life much easier by avoiding these scammers and unsolicited marketing calls etc. Very happy with this app. Also, the older version didn't always block the calls, but this one does, it also gives you info while the phone is ringing. 10 stars from me!

Edited to one star due to no reply to my previous question, and the fact I've had another call come through despite there being ten negative comments meaning should automatically block the number. --------------------------- I have used SIA for years and it's a simple app to use. Up until a few weeks/months ago was very effective. Recently, it's not picking up on scams; fortunately my phone picks them up. It used to be the other way round. What's going on?
