Reviews of BlockBear!

Leave a Review BlockBear!
★★★★★

  • Simple and No fuss

    Blocks ads as expected. Not a power-user app, so if you’re looking for customisation, another app might be better.
    cached upcached up

  • Works well, but issues with online shopping?

    When I use it for my regular googling and such it works great! However, whenever I try to go to an add or I’ll search a product and try to go to the website it will show “URL blocked by content blocker” and then l have to go and switch it off just to look at the site.
    Is this a bug or something I need to change in my settings? (I don’t want to have to go through and whitelist all the websites I shop on)

  • Less adds

    The first thing I noticed about the Bear was less add & faster tablet.
