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, the report is added to the database for all users to benefit from.

The app offers various levels of protection, from simple alerts to direct blocking, and can even block hidden, foreign, or premium rate numbers. Users can also create their own lists of blocked or allowed numbers. Additionally, the app functions as a dialer, with access to contacts and call history.

One of the app's key features is its ability to protect users offline. If an update to the database is needed, the app will wait for a Wi-Fi connection. It is also designed to be user-friendly, even for those who may not be tech-savvy.

The app prioritizes user privacy, with all data staying on the user's phone and not being shared with any third parties. Reports are fully anonymous, and the app does not even have access to the user's phone number or contacts.

For more information, users can visit the app's website or Facebook page, or contact support via email. The app's creators encourage original and SEO-oriented inquiries.
