Spam Call Screening that doesn't "phone home"? (lemm.ee)

I keep getting a "Database download failed" error, unfortunately, even with network permission enabled...

Darn, maybe they took the database offline & mine just still works because I set it up months ago. Unfortunate because it works really well for me
