RoboKiller - Robocall Blocker App
How do RoboKiller's Answer Bots actually work to stop telemarketers?
Answer Bots are automated voice responses that engage telemarketers in absurd conversations, like asking if a car warranty covers aliens, to waste their time and discourage them from calling again. You can hear recordings of these interactions in the app, and they help ensure scammers stay on the line instead of bothering you.
Can I set RoboKiller to automatically send unknown numbers to voicemail or Answer Bots?
Yes, you can use the block list feature to send any number not saved in your contacts directly to voicemail or the Answer Bots. This gives you peace of mind by preventing unknown callers from ringing your phone, while still allowing calls from people you know.
What should I do if RoboKiller accidentally blocks a legitimate call?
If a legitimate call gets flagged as spam, simply add that number to your contacts, and RoboKiller will allow it through in the future. You can also check the call log to see which calls were blocked or allowed, so you can quickly identify and fix any false positives.
Why does RoboKiller sometimes slow down when I open the app to check call history?
The app can take a couple of seconds to load when you open the call history due to the data it processes from blocked and allowed calls. This is a minor delay, and it doesn't affect the background blocking performance, so you can still rely on it to stop spam without daily fiddling.
How does RoboKiller compare to the free spam blocker that comes with my phone carrier?
RoboKiller is far more effective than most carrier-provided blockers, stopping about 95% of spam calls compared to the basic filtering you might get for free. It also adds unique features like Answer Bots that trick telemarketers, whereas carrier blockers typically just label or silence suspected spam without engaging them.
