Block Distracting Websites for Negative User Reviews
✓ Turned my phone into a dumb phoneOh, it does so much more than just block Facebook and Instagram. I thought I had set the app up to only block specific sites, but as soon as I set the timer, it blocked all access to the internet. Period. I can't even access the App Store. Neither can I find information on how to disable the app. Catastrophic..Version: 1.9
✓ Waste of MoneyThis does not disable apps. It’s only useful for Safari..Version: 1.9
✓ Can’t access videos from other apps while blocker is onIs there a way to fix this? I enable the app in my settings but I’m unable to browse videos from another site I did not block..Version: 1.9
✓ Needs more featuresIt’s basically just a content blocker with a timer for 3$. Does the job but it would nice to have other features for different use cases. For instance blocking websites from 9-5 while I’m at work.Version: 1.11
✓ No need to use this appIt only works on safari but not Firefox /google browser, Yet you can easily block websites in safari. I don’t see the value of this app at all. Please suggest how I can get refund.Version: 1.9
✓ Complete waste of moneyThe reviews with 5stars were written by the owners of this fake software. It does absolutely nothing at all. Dont waste your time I dont know why i bothered buying this lol. my 2 last braincells cant think for themselves and have the power to restrain.Version: 1.11
✓ Would work ifWorks great except you can easily go into settings and turn it off so whats the point? If it were set so you could not turn it off for a period of time - hours to months, then it would great.Version: 1.6
✓ Can’t Enable = Can’t UseThe app has to be enabled in your Settings. Well, I found it, but it’s grayed out. I can’t enable the app, so it’s useless. I’d like a fix or my money back..Version: 1.9
✓ Doesn’t block appsOnly blocks sites on Safari browser. Useless..Version: 1.9
✓ DOESNT WORKDon’t bother purchasing. Doesn’t work anymore..Version: 1.11
✓ Doesn’t workI installed this on my iPad and put a timed block on Facebook. I can still access it !, How can I get my money back?.Version: 1.9
✓ Unable to use with ChromeI’ve used this for years in my MBP and finally decided to download for my iPhone. Sadly it only works for Safari and I use chrome. Is there a work around I’m missing or a feature add on that can be built?.Version: 1.9
✓ Could use an update.It really needs a PIN code to allow changes to be made..Version: 1.11
✓ RedundantYou’re able to block and unblock website in the settings on your phone. Meanings this app is completely redundant and a waste of money. I downloaded expecting the same functionality as Self control on my Mac meaning I could block websites with a time limit before I can visits them again. Not an app that takes my money for something my phone can already do 😡.Version: 1.9
✓ It cant work if all you need to do is press one button in safari to cancel the block!Its really great that you can time the block but i wish it will have options for a week or even a month. Second this it doesn’t work since if i just cancel the safari option the block is off. Whats the point??.Version: 1.7
✓ Doesn’t workThis doesn’t work for me at all. I’m still able to access all the sites I’ve “blocked” when I use Safari..Version: 1.11
✓ Doesn't workIt used to. Now it doesn't. Not sure what happened but I remember why I deleted it now. Maybe not compatible with iOS16? IDK. Would like it if it worked..Version: 1.11
✓ Unable to get it to workI was really hoping this would work but for some reason my phone is not allowing me to enable this as a content blocker. I would gladly change my review if someone could help me out here..Version: 1.9
✓ Won't installI payed full price for the apps but it wouldn't install!!!.Version: 1.9
✓ Doesn’t seem to workI enabled the content blocker app in Safari and added the websites and it doesn’t seem to block the sites at all. Where can I find help to troubleshoot?.Version: 1.11
✓ Only works for safari not appsDisappointed that this only works for safari browsing and not actual apps.Version: 1.9
✓ Doesn’t work on chromeThis app is not effective for me because i don’t use safari as my main browser.Version: 1.9
✓ No timerThe app has no timer, and the screen shot is fake. Waste of money.Version: 1.9
✓ Only blocks safariOnly seems to block websites on safari. Doesn’t work on chrome and doesn’t seem to block apps either. I would’ve thought I could’ve been missing something but plenty of others complained about this and the developer is giving no response…🤷🏻♂️.Version: 1.11
✓ Waste of moneyDont buy this app i honestly dont know why it is so expensive just to block WEBSITES and NOT APPS Very disappointed.Version: 1.10
✓ UselessThe websites stay blocked once you’ve unblocked them.Version: 1.11
✓ The upper limit is 1 dayYou can't block a website permanently or set a white list for a period of time everyday.Version: 1.6
✓ Needs a scheduling functionThis is a good app that works very well. There’s one function which if added would make this a five-star app: it needs to be able to run on an automatic schedule. I want it to click on at 8:30 a.m., and run until 5:30 p.m. M-F, without me having to go in and activate the timer every morning. If it could do that, this would be a perfect app..Version: 1.9
✓ Nothing like the OS XversionThe app has no timer and you can easily unblock all of the content. It works nothing like the OS X version. I want my money back. I paid 3.99 had I known what I know now, I wouldn’t pay .99 for it. Awful app..Version: 1.9
✓ Will block sites but not apps?This appears to only block the websites not the apps themselves. So pretty much useless..Version: 1.9
✓ Alternative Browsers UnsupportedI don’t know if this can be fixed but I hope it can an I hope you are able to provide an update. This app is perfect, as long as you are using Safari. When all you have to do is use a different browser, it breaks its utility in my opinion. As I primarily use Chrome at the moment, this app doesn’t work at all..Version: 1.9
✓ No block scheduling timerOne of the screenshots on the Block Websites app listing suggests there would be a scheduled timer function (eg block websites from 9-5). This feature is absent and limits the utility of the app..Version: 1.7
