Should I Answer?

The Should I Answer app is designed to protect users from unwanted calls, such as telemarketers, phone scams, and unsolicited surveys. It works by checking unknown numbers against its constantly updated database, even without an internet connection. If the number has been reported as a nuisance by other users, the app will warn the user or block the call altogether.

The unique aspect of the app is its user-generated database. After receiving an unknown call, users can anonymously rate it as safe or spam. Once approved by the app's administrators, this information is added to the database for all users to benefit from.

The app offers various levels of protection, from simply alerting the user of an unsolicited call to directly blocking it. It can also block hidden, foreign, and premium rate numbers, and users can create their own lists of blocked or allowed numbers. Additionally, the app functions as a dialer, with access to contacts and call history.

The app can also protect users offline, as it only requires a Wi-Fi connection to update the local database. It is designed to be user-friendly, even for those who may not be tech-savvy.

One of the key features of the app is its protection of personal data. All information is stored and processed directly on the user's phone, and is never shared with third parties. The app does not have access to the user's phone number or contacts, and all reports are completely anonymous.

For more information, users can visit the app's website or Facebook page, or contact support via email. With the Should I Answer app, users can have peace of mind and avoid unwanted calls without compromising their personal data.
