★★★★★ "What’s the point? Real question. I have updated the app after none of the calls on by rule list were blocked. Checked that entire series were correctly entered…only to find out later that day this thing definitely isn’t working. Curious to get an actual explanation." - 24h Newscycle

What’s the point? Real question
I have updated the app after none of the calls on by rule list were blocked. Checked that entire series were correctly entered…only to find out later that day this thing definitely isn’t working. Curious to get an actual explanation.
Useless
Doesn't work.
Perfect for blocking neighbor Scam
App doesn’t work in iOS 18+. Only works in iOS 13. Begone also lacks an option to allow calls from all contacts. Instead one is forced to add allowed numbers one by one individually.
Worthless

Update from April 3, 2025
My entire blocked numbers list is gone
Paid app without notice
This has become a paid (and expensive) app out of nowhere. Very disappointed: cannot recommend this app any longer.
Unhappy
I’m still getting as many calls as before!
