BlackList v4.91
It's a neat application that lets you block calls, texts and even set a quiet time during which your phone will stay on silent mode and won't bother you. It's definitely worth a try, especially if you like to keep your privacy.
Intuitive interface with plenty of features at hand
The app doesn't come with a tutorial or any kind of instructions, which is quite inconvenient considering that new users could benefit from some kind of guidance when they first launch the app. Still, the UI is quite intuitive with a settings menu and tabs for accessing sections.
It doesn't use material design, but you shouldn't have any trouble navigating inside the app. It comes in multiple languages that you can check out and it even has a feature that lets you lock access with a password. You can also remove the app's icon from the launcher/drawer.
Block all sort of calls and texts
Firstly, you need to specify the numbers that you would like the app to block. You can turn off the ringer when they call or have the app end call automatically. It has a feature that blocks numbers that aren't in your contacts or those that aren't saved in your list of contact numbers.
You can also add exceptions to blocked numbers if you wish, but the feature is only available in the pro version of the app. It comes with multiple blocking modes, have the app block blacklisted numbers but not the exception list, block all numbers or allow all calls to go through.
More features
It displays a list of all of your recent calls and texts from your contacts, but it doesn't let you read them entirely. In addition, it displays a log with blocked numbers and the frequency with which they called.
The app can be set not to display the incoming call message and to pick up and then hang up. But the call won't be sent to voicemail and it might actually cost you. The app lets you backup all of your settings and show a notification on blocked calls and texts.
Other than that, the app lets you set a blocking schedule in which you wouldn't receive any calls or texts on your phone. However, this feature is only available in the premium version of the app for 2.79$.
