A simple call blocking application that will help you avoid answering unwanted calls
|
|
using an offline phone number database.
|
|
|
|
Features:
|
|
|
|
* 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. ''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.''
|
|
|
|
How to use:
|
|
|
|
* Install and launch the app.
|
|
* Press the "Download database" button on the main screen, wait for it to finish.
|
|
* At this point you should be able to see notifications with some caller info during incoming calls. You can press such a notification to load detailed online reviews.
|
|
* Toggle the "Auto-update enabled" switch (recommended) to automatically receive daily DB updates (these are delta updates, so they consume very little traffic).
|
|
* Toggle the "Block unwanted calls" switch if you want to enable automatic blocking.
|
|
* After these steps everything should just work. Enjoy!
|
|
|
|
The main phone number database is downloaded from
|
|
[https://gitlab.com/xynngh/YetAnotherCallBlocker_data a gitlab repository].
|
|
Delta updates and detailed review queries are performed using 3rd-party servers.
|
|
No user-identifiable information is sent (except for the phone number
|
|
the detailed reviews are loaded for).
|
|
|
|
Yet Another Call Blocker is still under development. Any help is very welcome.
