Blocks website I did not configure. I was enjoying this app for a few days and then I tried accessing Reddit and I was blocked despite never adding this site to the list. What other sites are ghost blocked?

Can’t be used on iOS 18.4. Yeah I this app worked great, but it no longer works on iOS 18.4. There haven’t been any updates to the app in 2+ years. The developer doesn’t seem to care to update and won’t contact back about it. Don’t waste your money unless you’re NOT running iOS 18, because if you’ve got 18, it won’t work.

Ripoff. Paid $5 and it stopped working the day I got it. No longer in extension list. Not working. No way to contact developers. No menu or anything to use. Don’t waste your money like I did.

Not great. Won’t even block sites? I followers direction enabling the extension in setting and everything. Not worth $5

Doesn’t block Chrome. Easily disabled in Safari. I don’t know why I thought a paid app with good reviews suddenly would work. Doesn’t block chrome app. You have to “enable” this apps extension in safari which is very easy to disable. You also have to set a designated time for blocking, needs an on/off for what you’re blocking

Set a date, app stopped completely?. If I don’t set a date it works, if I do it crashes. Also not very intuitive, made a mistake on a couple and you have to turn it off and delete, should just be able to make a correction and it keep running. All kinds of diagnostic errors too…

Not sure what to do. I just purchased the app but I did not expect that I would not be able to turn permissions on since it is greyed out on my phone. Can I get refunded?

Doesn’t work. This app doesn’t work on iPhone 12x, iOS 16.

Only blocks in Safari??. This is a pointless app. It only blocks in Safari. Who even uses Safari anymore? It should be blocking access to the websites through any app or browser.

Not working DO NOT BUY. This app is not blocking anything. I’m requesting a refund.
- ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific
Don’t buy. Doesn’t work at all, doesn’t block websites. I followed the instructions exactly.
- ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific
Doesn’t work. Title says it all.
- ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific
Not worth it. Doesn’t block every for every app like chrome

Doesn’t work. Since the new iPhone update it doesn’t work at all.

Didn’t work. I entered a site I frequently visit, which ends in “.net”. I followed all the instructions but I could still go to that site. Never worked. Waste of $5. Wish I could have a refund.

Used to work - No longer does!. This app used to work perfectly for me. I knew that I could easily disable it by going into settings, which wasn't great, but that's no fault of the app. Now, it does nothing! Sites simply aren't blocked! I have it ENABLED in settings. Something must have glitched out, because I am able to go to all of my blocked websites, and no amount of deleting/reinstalling, rebooting, or disabling/reenabling has fixed it.

Only works for Safari. I do most of my browsing with chrome so this is completely useless

Didn’t work for me. I added websites on the app but easily went to them in my browser. Wish I could get a refund!

Doesn’t Block Apps. This app is okay if you only use safari. However, if you use apps such as Facebook etc, it won’t block those.
- ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions
Not working!. Paid $5 for this app and it suddenly stopped working
- ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific
Disappointing. You can unblock websites in any minute through the app just by clicking “unblock website” What’s the point....!
- ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions
EASY BYPASS. The first instruction that this app gives you in order to enable it is to go to safari-> settings-> enable content blockers. You can literally disable this at any time! So essentially the first thing the developers do is tell you how to disable the app. VERY DISPLEASED that I just paid $4.99 for this nonsense.

chrome. yo i can still access everything on chrome for iphone so how exactly im supposed to stop myself? cuz this wqs working till i discovered that bug/feature
- ★★★★★crashes, freezes and errors
Not working anymore. The app used to work on my iPhone flawlessly but isn’t blocking websites anymore.
- ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific
Hard to stop blocking. Its fine for blocking but if you need access to a site that is blocked its a pain to unblock.
- ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific
No app blocking. Great app. Would be even greater if it blocks apps too.
- ★★★★★privacy and excessive permissions
Doesn’t work in Brave browser. I only use Brave browser for privacy. This app on seems to work for Safari.
- ★★★★★mixed experience without a specific reason· unspecific
Great app! Just one request. The only reason I rated this 3 stars instead of 5 is I wish I could make groups of blocked websites, like I can set twitter to be blocked for 3 hours and YouTube to be blocked for a full day. Other wise great app
- ★★★★★account bans or deletion without explanation
Missing one feature that would make it even better. So it does what it says it does, pretty well, too. It would be great if there was some sort of password or title page (or whatever). Nope. Open the app and BAM there’s all the sites that are blocked…hopefully prying eyes don’t see it if for some strange reason.
- ★★★★★a needed feature is missing
Very limited options. Not enough flexibility. Set one date to block apps until and then blocks any website added until that day. Wish there was an option to block different website for different amounts of time.
