Whether you are on a perfect holiday with your family and friends or attending an important business meeting; unwanted pesky sales calls from some fake numbers cannot just be an utter distraction but also ruin your mood. “Nope. – Call and Text Blocker” from Heliopause Development is one of the latest releases in the communication category on the Play Store and it does a wonderful job of blocking unwanted calls, text and what’s more, a spam filter to keep your inbox clean.

nope. – Call and Text Blocker is designed keeping in mind the most essential requirements of users while also keeping the app light and simplified. As you fire up the app and go across the tutorial you can find the slide in navigation menu that has three basic sections Call block, Text Block and Spam block.

The call block feature can reject unwanted incoming calls. All you need to do is add the numbers to the call blocking list and let nope. – Call and Text Blocker do its magic. Though adding numbers to block list can be only done by typing them directly within the app. The app lacks a phonebook contact search or call history number selection which can put you in the pain of copying numbers to clipboard and pasting them. One noteworthy feature that the app packs in itself is the choice of call blocking method. If you don’t want reject calls and sound rude to the other party you can choose to silence phone for all numbers in blocked list or even send them to voicemail without having to miss the important messages the caller might have for you. Text blocking can be enabled in a similar way by adding numbers to it.

We tested the app with a couple of calls and texts from blocked numbers and we were impressed with the way actions were performed without any noticeable glitch. Within the app you will be also be able to see the last call or text that was blocked from reaching your inbox. Unfortunately there is no way to see the total number of calls that were rejected or a detailed log of rejected calls with time within the app, though this can be obtained in your default calling app. Similarly blocked messages cannot be accessed within the app and are lost if you activate text blocking. Use the text blocking feature with precaution and only when you really don’t want to receive any communication from the other party.

Spam block is an intelligent text filter that can help you keep your inbox clean and tidy without too much effort. The app will automatically filter messages that seem spammy or use words that are often used in marketing and sales pitches.

Overall nope. – Call and Text Blocker is a straightforward and efficient approach to help you keep away from annoying calls and text with one simple app. The user interface looks pretty clean and designed in the ICS style that is easy to use and understand. If you are in the same bandwagon and want to stay away from the telemarketers or an annoying person in your contacts nope. – Call and Text Blocker is all in one solution available absolutely free on the Play store.
