I have been being targeted by scams and bad actors for years. I hesitated to use the application because it had a few bugs at first. I finally had time today to set up the functionality and features available for the verification of my personal numbers and it's surely going to be able to control the excessive amount of calls that I typically receive. Jesus thank you.

I genuinely like the T-Mobile scam shield. However, since the update to T-life, it has become arduous to use. Now I have to go through the entry process as another step to find the scam shield after all the sales pitch info. Then I can only select the most recent phone call (or a sequence without skipping) and not a singular call down the list to block independently of other numbers. This has become NOT user-friendly.

App needs to be updated. I can no longer view the blocked log. Starts on the "Let's Get Started" screen, goes through three pages of features, then resets back to the "Let's Get Started" screen. It continues this cycle no matter what I do. Otherwise, GREAT app! Works amazingly! And, I'll upgrade the rating once the problem is solved. I only rated it low to get the developers attention.
