Phone App on the Pixel 8 is really Bad, missing important calls

I can not believe more people are not complaining about how horrible this phone app is!!!!!!!! It is really horrible. In the last two days I have missed important calls from my doctors, one call went to voicemail, never rang, the other call same issue. I also missed an important call from my wife from her iphone. The phone is not ringing. I have it set to a loud ring tone, and have tested calling from my home phone, rings perfectly. This is bad. Google needs to take a look at this app. In my opinion it is the weakest link in this phone. I prefer to have the option to block calls, and not have google make any decisions on the calls I receive. This is a very flawed application. How do I set this up so all my calls ring through and I can flag them as spam and block them if I choose not to receive them.
