Case Study: SpamHound achieves effective SMS spam protection with Redwerk

SpamHound launches SMS spam filtering in 3 months with Redwerk

SpamHound, a developer of a spam-blocking mobile application, faced the challenge of creating a tool to effectively protect users from unwanted SMS spam messages from telemarketers and other services. They needed to develop flexible filtering rules and navigate new, poorly documented iOS 11 functionality, all while planning a subsequent port to the Android platform. To achieve this, they partnered with the software development vendor Redwerk.

Redwerk's solution involved designing and developing the SpamHound app from scratch for both iOS and Android. The iOS version integrated as a complimentary app with the native messenger, while the Android version was built as a full-featured default messenger with anti-spam protection. The result was a successful launch on the App Store and Play Market, with the apps reaching a global audience. The project was also presented at the Collision'18 conference as an Alpha startup, generating positive reviews.
