COMPONENT

Blacklist blocker is an open source free application that gives its users a convenient way to configure the blocking of unwanted calls and SMS. The application has a blacklist page where the list of contacts to be blocked is added. The whitelist store contacts that users do not intend to block. In the event log, the user can view info about the event of calls and SMS blocking. Calls and SMS from contacts that are not in the list of contacts of users phone can be blocked in the settings as well.
PROPOSAL
I love this app and i will be glad if this feature is implemented. My proposals are listed below

Set an end time for blocked calls: This is when the app has the ability to regulate the time a call can be automatically unblocked. For example, a call from one or more number can be blocked within a stipulated time. From the blacklist page, each number added will have access to this feature. After calls from all the contacts on the blacklist has been blocked from the settings, a long click on any number that the user wishes to temporarily block will pop up a small page where the unblock time can be set. Eg (unblock in 3 hours, 1 hour, 2 hours and so on). When the time elapses, there will be a notification to notify the user of the timeout.

BENEFITS
Sometimes, we might not have the intention of blocking some calls, but due to some reasons at times, we might want to ignore such calls. This feature will be suitable for this scenario.
Also, some people are fond of calling repeatedly. Even if you refuse to answer, their calls persist till they run down your battery. This kind of calls can be tied in that category anytime that occurs.
The feature will help in term of forgetfulness in removing some numbers from blacklist at the right time. Any call that user does not want to receive till further notice will remain in the mass blacklist while the ones to be blocked for a short period will be in the timing group. This feature will make this app special as no other similar apps has ever incorporate this idea.

Thanks.
