Vlad Lee wrote my "Blacklist Plus PRO" also.

Interestingly when I look up your blocker "Calls Blacklist" in the Play
Store and it says "Contains ads - In app purchases". When I look up
"Blacklist Plus" there's no such warning. And both are written by Vlad Lee.

I do also.

Perhaps you should try "Blacklist Plus" and see what it wants to do. I
long ago upgraded to "Blacklist Plus PRO" so don't remember all the
details of the basic app other than there's not much gained by the
upgrade. It's mainly a donation vehicle for the author which I was glad
to give as I liked the app.
