At this point most of the essential features (one would expect from a call blocking app) are implemented. Here's an overview:
* Automatic blocking of calls with negative rating, calls from hidden or locally blacklisted numbers. *Works offline.*
Call blocking should work on most Android versions (including Android 10).
Some phones (like some Xiaomi) require to enable "Advanced call blocking mode".
* Local blacklist with wildcard support.
Import of NoPhoneSpam backup is supported.
* Showing a notification with some caller info (positive/negative rating, category, number of negative reviews and such) when the phone's ringing. *Works offline.*
* Loading and displaying a list of reviews for a number (accessed from the notification or the info view). *Requires internet.*
* Automatic blocking of unwanted calls (may not work on some devices; tested to work on modern Android versions (including Android 10)). *Works offline.*
* Automatic update of the database (for offline use). *Requires internet.*
* Displaying a list of recent calls with caller rating and the ability to show more info or load online reviews for the number. The list *works offline*, but loading reviews *requires internet.*
* If "use contacts" option is enabled, the numbers present in the phone book are never blocked and the contact name is displayed next to/instead of a number throughout the app.
* "Advanced call blocking mode" for blocking calls on Android 7+ before the phone starts ringing.
Needs to be manually enabled in app Settings.

* По умолчанию включена опция отображения уведомлений при входящем вызове, поэтому приложение запросит разрешения связанные с телефонными вызовами.
* При первом запуске будет предложено загрузить базу номеров, это необходимо для полноценной работы приложения. Просто подтвердите загрузку.
* Рекомендуется включить опцию "Авто-обновл. базы номеров", чтобы получать ежедневные обновления базы (загружаются только изменения, поэтому расход трафика небольшой).
* Включите опцию "Блокир-ть нежелат. вызовы", чтобы автоматически сбрасывать звонки c номеров с отрицательным рейтингом.
* Включите опцию "Блокир. по отзывам", чтобы автоматически сбрасывать звонки c номеров с отрицательным рейтингом.
* С опцией "Отображать имена контактов" вызовы от контактов перестанут расцениваться как неизвестные.
* После настройки всё должно работать. Приятного общения!
