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.

Don't pay anything for this. Since an update at some point the app no longer is listed as a default choice for phone. So some features I used like it's call screen and pick up and hang up no longer work. I see no way to make it the default phone app. I have uninstalled, given all permissions, overlay etc etc. Obviously so far no intent to make it work again.

Update! Im delighted with this little app. It has saved me so much stress, by screening all my calls. How did I manage without it before. Ty to the programmers for all you do. It's much appreciated. X A great tool. Finding it great for blocking relevant numbers. Only been using a short time so will appraise it later. Only downside I can see so far, is that the UI could be improved. Otherwise its early days. Happy with it so far.

You can't block a number from recent calls in the app! Are you kidding me!? Possibly the most obvious idea for you to implement! Terrible user interface. Not intuitive at all. EDIT: Upgraded from one star to three due to positive response from to my review. However, I still think the design should be intuitive. Note, the design always APPEARS intuitive to those who designed it, but techies who design things don't necessarily design things intuitively.

Hi Mike, just open the app, a call log screen will open - find the call, TAP on it and the call detail opens. Tap on BLOCK and that's it... The help is integrated in the app directly (small "?" signs on screens), or please check https://help.shouldianswer.net/help/should-i-answer-for-android
