PrivacyStar was running well enough that I paid the $2.99 subscription when it came up after the trial month a few years ago. I used it to quickly block spam calls. Unfortunately a few days ago they completely changed something with it without telling me, and now it wants me to activate "conditional call forwarding" and agree to use their servers for voicemail. I am going to ask for an explanation or an option to opt out. If I'm dissatisfied I will be canceling the service.

As a marketing technologies developer, I am always amazed at "solutions" that try to do too much and as a result fail to do so because they overeach or when the inevitable changes outside their control (upon which they depend) come along it breaks the tool. Not so, Privacy Star. It just works. Within a couple of days, my incoming calls are under control. Great. Simple. Done.

I have had privacy star for over a year and it has stopped a lot of the robo calls and unwanted calls it is a great app. Once I updated the app it stopped working properly. It does not pop up to block calls at all. The app is definitely not user friendly. I may not renew my subscription when time is up unless they fix these problems
