Pepper - Block robocalls before they ring your phone ❌🤖

Pepper is a spam filter for your phone calls. Pepper stops robocalls from ever buzzing your phone in the first place, so you don’t even get call notifications unless they’re confirmed to be from a human. No "Scam Likely" here, just "Person Definitely".

Please add the ability to block spam texts as well.

@doug_wheeler1 We'd love to be able to do this some day in the future. We're a small team right now and there's a lot of problems to solve just with phone calls, but texts are something we could expand to in the future.

Good answers to questions. You're welcome to share this idea with IdeaSpies 👀https://www.ideaspies.com/guidel...

@lynn_wood Thank you! We'll have a look.

What's the differentiator that makes yet-another-app better than what is currently available on the phone itself? iPhone->Settings->Phone->Silence Unknown Callers. Done. Then, voicemail transcription (if that unknown caller even leaves a voicemail) lets you decide whether to just delete or call back without ever having to actually listen to the voicemail.

@johnzilla Hi John, thanks for the question! Our goal is to allow people to pick up the phone and not send every unknown caller to voicemail. We know that the solution you described is good enough for most people, and they probably wouldn't use our product. On that note however, this is just the beginning - there are a lot more things we'd like to be able to do in the future with our product. We're taking it one step at a time! We might have more enticing features beyond only robocall-blocking depending on how it makes sense for us to grow.

I’ve used RoboKiller and YouMail. Both are fantastic. The only issue I see is your cost is simply too high! It would be great to have an option to purchase an annual subscription but i wouldn’t pay more than about $25 like RoboKiller. Hit me up if there is any discount offer please!

@scottmichaels We would love to decrease our costs over time - trying to see what we can do!

My kids call me using Alexa and it shows up as No Caller ID. There’s not a way to push any key. Is there anyway to solve this?

@william_soffar we haven't had anyone report robocalls yet when the app has been setup correctly and working for them!

Neat product. Just one gripe-- the robo receptionist sounds so robo, my fiancee actually hung up on me when trying to call me, assuming she had the wrong number. I could also see other people hanging up thinking the same (or that they got voice mail). In the future, would love if this could be changed. Edit: Just read the other comments about how your contact list is safe. This makes sense now. I'm in that edge case where I get all my calls from LINE and Messenger, so never use contacts LOL

@2xie Hey Andrew! You make a great point and it's one of our own gripes as well. One of the next big product features on our roadmap is exactly this.
