RoboKiller - Robocall Blocker
How do the Answer Bots work in RoboKiller, and can I customize them?
Answer Bots are pre-recorded characters that answer spam calls and waste scammers' time. You can choose from built-in options like 'Harold the confused old man' or create custom recordings, but note that a friend calling from a new number might get the bot instead of you.
Does RoboKiller show caller ID for unknown numbers in real time?
Yes, RoboKiller provides real-time caller ID that flags telemarketers and spam numbers before you answer. For example, a Miami number was identified as a telemarketer instantly, helping you avoid unwanted calls.
Why did RoboKiller block a call from my doctor's office or delivery driver?
RoboKiller's AI can sometimes misidentify legitimate numbers as spam, like your doctor or a delivery service. To fix this, add those numbers to your custom allow list in the app so they always ring through.
The free version of RoboKiller barely blocks any calls—what's going on?
The free version only shows you what the app can do without actually blocking calls. To get full spam blocking and Answer Bots, you need a paid subscription, which costs about $4 per month or $30 per year after the trial ends.
How does RoboKiller compare to Apple's built-in Silence Unknown Callers feature?
Unlike Apple's feature, which silences all unknown numbers (including legitimate ones), RoboKiller uses a spam database and AI to block only known robocalls while letting wanted calls through. It also offers Answer Bots to waste scammers' time, which Apple doesn't provide.
