I use Yet Another Call Blocker. It has a custom block list you can use to block a specific number.
The block list also supports wildcard characters, which is my favorite feature! I use it to block swaths of numbers (much of my spam comes from the state I used to live in, so I block those area codes).
Looks like it hasn't been updated in 3 years. Is it still maintained?
You're right, I hadn't noticed that.
Looks like the F-droid version is way behind, because you can see on their GitLab page that the project is still maintained. It'd be best to get the app directly through GitLab I suppose, or add an F-droid repo that has a more up-to-date version.
Looks like there are just more translations in the gitlab history, but no new releases since 2021.
Ugh, you're right! I didn't realize. I'm going to give SpamBlocker a try instead. I just downloaded and flipped through the options and it looks better than "Yet Another Call Blocker" anyway.
I mean, it doesn't necessarily mean the app is dead, maybe it's just still working as intended?
