Changed servers to lower running costs. Moved all crowdsourced data processing to my own home server hosted on a raspberry pi. This will cause a slight delay in fetching keywords but it's the only way to avoid moving to a subscription based pricing.
Previous version of app will stop working in a week, highly recommend you to update.

- Default preference for auto-block URL is now off. Turn it on from the app's settings screen if you need it.
Note: There is a bug in iOS, wherein if an SMS was previously marked as spam, all future messages from same sender get filtered. The app has no control over this and iOS does that automatically. The only workaround is to delete that entire thread and any future SMSs from that sender get filtered correctly. I have already filed a radar with Apple about this. Radar #34097773
