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.

Program was great, but they've turned it into nagware to try to get you to subscribe for $2/mo. You'll receive frequent notifications to update the database manually. I wouldn't mind if the notifications were reasonably spaced apart, but they're daily, and that is when you do the update. If you just dismiss them without updating, the notifications come back every few hours.

I'm happy with the app overall. Does what it's supposed to, with very minimal ads. The only thing bugging me is this: when it's set as default call app, somehow all the phone calls go to my Gear watch instead of my phone, and I can't pick up except on the watch. I get nothing on the phone, though it does vibrate, but no call screen. Please look into this.

All I wanted was to block unknown numbers. This excells at that function, and my phone seldom rings from scammers. However, making calls with the app uses it's own dialer, rather than the system one. I've lost the dialer before, and not been able to return to the call to hang up. I'd prefer it runs through the system dialer, but I get it. Solid app if you're overwhelmed by scam calls. Dev comment worked! I'm now really happy with the app!

Hi Rob, you probably use the Incall screen - please change the alert type from Custom call screen to either Pop-up alert notification or System notifications, still having the app set as a default phone app with ACTIVE protection - then the app will use the call screen of your system dialer and that's it ;).
