A few things:
1. it's not free (trial available, though)
2. their privacy policy is extensive and admits (obviously) they have EVERYTHING ABOUT YOU. Your PII and your phone calls.
3. During the trial you are not a customer AND you're giving up your data.
Assuming you become a customer, the real question I have: how much can I trust them? Because they would require an extraordinary amount of trust for me to become a customer.

However to point out, you don't have to pay for the service if you're ok with what comes with the free tier. For me, I rarely use my phone for the purpose of phone calls. 99% of what Hiya gets from me are spam calls plus my current location. (Wooo I'm in SF, such a big data loss). Occasionally my mom calls me, though we're usually on WhatsApp. (Yes FB blah blah). Make your own choices. When/if Apple implements actually high level call blocking I'll switch to it (goulash monster willing). For now I'm personally ok with Hiya. If you want to build another service that addresses your privacy concerns then I'll check it out and consider switching. For me the utility of not getting annoyed all the time is greater than the lack of important data any 3rd party might be collecting. Actually to address even that, go into the Hiya settings and just turn off things like geolocation sharing.
