It depends on the app. A local markdown editor without any network functionality? Probably safe. A password manager with online functionalities? I would look for something else.
What about yet another call blocker? Seems that involves more sensitive info obviously
It gets the number that's ringing and compares it to a database it downloaded. It's not doing anything with your sensitive data.
At most if you decide to check online reviews against a number it'll search the phone number online, but you get a warning beforehand and you don't have to do that.
