When I block a number… it shows up in my address book, beginning with the letters zz, even when I delete the numbers from my call log. Is there a way to get these number to not add to my address book?

The app simplifies Android’s built-in ability to block contacts from calling, so a contact has to be created for each blocked number. We tack zz_ onto them to ensure they stay pinned to the very bottom of your contact list.

Another option, if your phone’s implementation allows, would be to create a contact group for those numbers, and then have it hidden from your main contacts display. This is phone dependent so we can’t provide specific support for this option.

On Reverse Lookup and Ad Blockers

Wow. Today we published an experimental update to Reverse Lookup that stops the app from running without ads. Apparantly, a lot of you are running these blocking apps and you’re not happy that we don’t want you using our work for free.

Maybe it was a little forward to prompt you to uninstall that application, I’ll give you that. But malicious? Not in the least. The app does NOTHING behind the scenes as far as uninstalling anything. It simply sent you to the uninstall screen for that app. The choice was yours.

Anyway,.. we’re meeting your community in the middle. We’ve removed the prompt to uninstall the ad blockers, and you can once again use the app. Ad revenue funds our continued work on the application, and we’re disappointed that you’re choosing not to support our efforts.. but at the end of the day we could have handled this better, and we will. Starting now.

Points Plus coming to Diet Points Calculator

We’re extremely pleased with the reception of Diet Points Calculator 2.0, but those of you who’ve downloaded it know that we’re not about to stop there. We’ve already released 2 updates that fix some bugs and improve usability.

Moving forward, it’s apparant that there is a desire for Points Plus support, and we’re going to bring that to you in a future update. We can’t put a timeframe on that today, but we hope it’s before Christmas.

In the meantime, we will issue a few intermediate updates to do some groundwork for implementing the new points system, so look out for those soon!
