SmartFilter for SMS

Know one thing this app needs? When this app filters spam messages or those identified as such? In the “Unknown & Junk” section of “Messages” they’re not marked as unread; or if that’s not possible, then I shouldn’t see the red circle number on the “Messages” app! I get spam messages every day for someone whose name I have filtered...

I installed SmartFilter a few months ago and it seems to have caught almost all the messages that some jerk signed me up for. One thing to watch out for is that it may silently catch desirable messages like notifications from your bank and phone company. I successfully trained SmartFilter to pass those messages by checking the filtered messages (in the Messages app under the tab “Unknown & Junk”) and pasting them into the SmartFilter app. I didn't mark SmartFilter down for initially incorrect classifications because in my opinion false positives are inevitable at the start and retraining it worked as expected. On the other hand, the process for retraining it could be made clearer and easier. You need to copy the SMS with a long click, open the app, select “Report SMS", paste the SMS into the box, and select “Normal”. I think the developers could turn this into a single operation by redesigning the front screen. But this is a minor point and didn't affect my rating, which was based on the app's overall efficacy.

I was frustrated by the lack of control of SMS texting with great call blocking apps like Hiya and TrueCaller. I did some searching and found SmartFilter and couldn’t be happier. I’ve had the same cell # my whole life and get spam daily. This app let me use keywords to filter out know spammers and I couldn’t be happier!

I love this app, it works amazingly. But, it would be absolutely PERFECT if it could also block out the same numbers that text through SMS from calling you, and if the little dot with the number didn’t show up in the corner of the app

I was using Hiya to help with the recent influx of spam messages I’ve been getting but it didn’t work at all. THIS app actually works so well for spam messages. Exactly what I needed. Thank you!
