About Robokiller
Robokiller is a spam call and text blocker for iPhone and Android, owned today by Bending Spoons. It screens incoming calls using a large database of spam numbers plus audio fingerprinting of known robocall recordings, and it filters scam texts into a separate folder. Its best-known feature is Answer Bots: when a telemarketer calls, the app can answer with a recorded voice designed to keep them talking and waste their time, and you can listen back to the results. The service is built around the US market, where robocalls and scam texts are common, and it publishes regular reports on US robocall trends. Robokiller is a paid subscription with a free trial; a limited free version also exists. It suits people in the US who are flooded with robocalls and want them stopped automatically, more than people looking for a general caller ID directory.
Best for: US users swamped with robocalls and scam texts who want them blocked automatically.
