Seriously amazing

I had gotten a new phone number and almost immediately was getting atleast 20 spam texts a day and I couldn’t just block them because they would send the text in group messages and always a different type of email. It was so frustrating to wake up to a dozen of spam texts in the morning only for it to keep coming and having to constantly look down at my phone to make sure it wasn’t a text from family only for it to be spam. This app is a life saver, seriously. After doing some research on how to stop spam texts I saw a lady post about this app and I decided to look into it. I’m glad I did. As soon as I signed up it instantly went into effect and I have not gotten ONE spam text since. The only downside is that I do have a text subscription with my health insurance company and it does send those texts to a spam folder but luckily it gives the option to go through the texts that the app has blocked so I can make sure I can respond to those texts.

What a lifesaver! Great app!

I started getting repeated spam text messages out of the blue. I’ve had this number for over 10 years, and never had an issue, but within the last few months, I started getting a spam text here and there, and then it steadily increased to multiple per day. They’d come from various numbers and email addresses, sometimes individually, sometimes in group texts…always just plain junk.I did what AT&T suggests by reporting the message and sender to the SPAM shortcode (7726), but after doing that, the messages not only didn’t stop, they increased! The two may or may not be related, but regardless, it ticked me off!I searched for app options to block unwanted texts, and this is the first option that came up. I signed up for the trial, and then quickly signed up for the paid plan! This works—I haven’t had a single spam text come through my Known Senders, and TextKiller has caught dozens of them and filtered them out. THANK YOU for a great app! Well worth the $40/year to filter out the junk.

Does not actually blocked text messages just puts them in a separate folder

So far this is not “blocked” anything that I have put in a keyword for such as Dr. OZ or CBD (I get multiple text messages weekly which have those keywords in them, they are spam and phishing text.) This app just created another folder called junk and puts them in there…. with the iPhone you have the ability to separate out known from unknown callers putting unknown callers in a folder called “unknown” which I was doing. So this is the same thing only made a different folder called junkAnd cost $30 a year to do that. Doesn’t block them.Update, The developer did respond to me to say that Apple will not allow them to block the offending text messages it only allows them to put it into a junk folder so it’s really not a problem they can overcome. But like I said IIn the original review can do the same using apples “filter unknown senders setting”.

Finally an app that blocks junk texts!

I tried everything to block the group spam texts that I was getting all day and all night - nothing worked. They would just create a new email (usually Hotmail) address to send the crap from, and then inevitably all the people also in the text would start replying “unsubscribe” or whatever other nonsense they thought would work, which was essentially piling on to the issue. Well, this blocks all of it! I can sleep in my Apple Watch again, I can leave my notifications on and not have to worry about who is texting me now, and I also don’t have to block 30 numbers at a time! I signed up for this app for the free trial, and it was so good that I seriously can’t see myself ever deleting it! Best app ever!!

So close but so far

I really want to like this app. It is desperately needed and I think it does a decent job… When it works. Of course, due to number-spoofing, blocking numbers is useless unless there’s a certain number spamming you, but I really like the keyword block list idea. It seems to do a good job of stopping spam text messages, but it has some kind of terrible bug, so that it usually doesn’t function properly. Most of the time when I log in, my keyword block list is blank. And the words that I put there before are no longer being blocked. Sometimes I log in and the list is back and those texts are properly sent to the Junk folder. I can’t figure out if there’s something that causes it to start working and stop working. I have verified that it is set up correctly in iOS Settings. I have already emailed Support with no response. I will try to update the review if this issue gets fixed.

Works on phone after a few days, does not stop push notifications on Apple Watch

I originally had an issue where messages would be filtered into text killers junk section but would still produce pop up notifications and banners on the phone. After a few days, it seems messages are getting filtered into junk properly. However, the app does nothing to stop those same junk messages from generating a push notification on my watch while I have it on. So while wearing my watch I still get push notifications for sms spam messages even though they are filtered correctly on the phone. This is still pretty annoying but I can just ignore the push notification on the watch and it will go away. This is better than having to delete individual spam messages or getting push notifications on the phone directly.

Amazing Utility!

This app does exactly what it purports. It stops spam from appearing in your massages. Upon installing, this app creates folders for Known Senders, Unknown Senders, and Junk Texts. All folders are accessed from the press of your Messages icon. TextKiller has a smooth, easy to use interface. I have downloaded hundreds of apps, and if I could only keep one app, TextKiller would be my choice. It works seamlessly and you will no longer have the aggravation of seeing or hearing another unwanted text. You can easily see the Unknown Sender and Junk Texts, but they will no longer interrupt your day. I highly recommend you get this superior TextKiller app today! You will thank yourself for taking back your time. And many thanks to the Developer(s) of TextKiller.

Does the job!

I was getting multiple group text messages throughout the day and night. All have sexual innuendos. I never responded, and always blocked each of the 20 numbers/email addresses in the chat before deleting the message. Unfortunately, they kept coming, by simply changing a single number or email in the group, thus creating a new group. The other night I got 2 messages with sexual inference just before 4am. Because I have to be available for my job at all times, I can’t use Do Not Disturb or block all unknown messages at night.The AT&T rep suggested I try TextKiller. Before I left the store, the app had already blocked 2 messages to a Junk folder! So far, it seems to do exactly what it is supposed to, and can even learn what is junk when you add keywords to scan for in the messages. However, I have found the junk messages still come through on my Apple Watch. There is a message next to the text saying “Possible Junk”. Is there a way to filter the messages on the Apple Watch that are blocked on my iPhone? The notifications are silent on the watch, but I still have to delete them manually.

Amazing app

So I have a iPhone 12 pro, and don’t ask me how, but someway after I got this phone I started getting insane amounts of random text messages. I’m not one to subscribe to any of that BS like text this to this number or anything like that, and this is not a new number I’ve had this number for several years. I honestly think it was AT&T as I didn’t realize I did not opt out of the sharing of my information (SPi or whatever they call it), So after doing some googling I found that you specifically have to tell AT&T not to share your information with other companies and other people have had the same issue due to that. I logged into my account and opted out of that but I still get all the text messages and everything. Do you know what’s sad is I’m an AT&T corporate employee and I have to deal with this BS as well. After doing that and still getting all the text and everything I decided to try this app and honestly I’m loving it.I went into my options on my phone and selected filter unknown senders and did this app as well and now I don’t even see the messages. I love this app!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Finally! Something that works!

I’ve been getting several spam texts a day from random gmail addresses for months now, and I was so frustrated that nothing worked to stop them. So far Apple only lets you block each individual email address, and the spam number provided by AT&T only lets you report phone numbers. But these scammers never send from the same email twice! I tried several other third party blockers, but they only filtered out messages from phone numbers. TextKiller lets you filter by message content, though. Since most of the scam texts I’ve been getting send .club links, I typed .club into the message filter as soon as I downloaded the app. Tonight, I realized I hadn’t gotten any notifications from gmail addresses texting me. So I looked in the junk folder TextKiller set up, and there they were! All the scams from the gmails immediately were sent to the junk folder. I no longer have to deal with getting notifications of upwards of 10 scam texts per day! I am so incredibly relieved.
