The ability to blacklist by name and even start of name is a nice addition. But there is a problem with some names.

"Dir Assist xx", and "Cell Phone xx" and "Phoenix AZ" don't get blocked even though I have them entered in the blacklist. These are always spam and account for large percentage of my spam calls. It would be nice to be able to block them.

'Block a name'

> Caller Name = 'Contains...'

> Text = "Dir Assist" or "Cell Phone" , etc.

I've noticed that, sometimes, even though the log displays a single space between 'CITY/ STATE ABBREV', a copy/paste MAY actually contain multiple spaces. I suspect this is done deliberately. Try to keep the text string as brief/simple as possible.

Maybe it was the additional spaces that prevent my previous "Contains..." and "Starts with..." blacklist entries.

I'll try some other formatting and see what works.
