4.0.1

February 7, 2024

From the beginning in 2019, #blockit has been helping users stop attention theft through innovative features, such as element blocking for Facebook, YouTube, and more. However, this feature requires constant maintenance as these companies make changes that stop element blocking from working. To support the time and effort involved in this, as well as the development of great new features, #blockit is moving to a subscription model. I am committed to providing the most effective, simple, and private Safari attention theft blocker possible. - Jordi Update 4.0.1 • Adds blocking for Facebook Reels in feed • Improves blocking for Facebook Watch, Marketplace, and Groups

Reviews of #blockit

  • Subscription Model

    I'm disappointed to discover you've switched to subscription model for all functionality. I understand the reasoning, unfortunately, but it's left me in a bit of a lurch around finals time. Still, the rates are quite reasonable and, again, I respect that this is more on the social media sites being jerks than on the app creator. Thank you for not discontinuing altogether.

    Developer Response

    Hi Astraea, Thanks for your understanding. Sorry the migration happened at a difficult time for you. I hope finals went well! If there is anything else I could do to bring that 2-star rating up to a 5-star, please reach out to me directly at jordi@hashtagapps.dev All the best, Jordi
  • Excellent for Productivity

    I have been a long-time user and really appreciate the utility of this app to reduce distractions while still being able to interact on social media. I previously paid to unlock the app, but understand that the developer needs an income to make updates worthwhile. The $3-4 a year is totally worthwhile and justified in my opinion.

    Developer Response

    Thank you Joshlum for your positive review, looking after longtime users like yourself is super important to me!
  • Overpriced

    Just updated my app and saw the developer changed from a one time purchase model to requiring a lifetime subscription. While this app is a good idea, there are other apps on the store which do the same thing for less than this app is now charging you for a year of use.

    Please stop with the mandatory subscription models 🙏. I’m moving to a cheaper option

    Developer Response

    Hey, sorry to hear you are not happy about the move to a subscription model. It was not an easy decision, but it was made to benefit users, not take from them.  Building an excellent, up to date app that works for all users requires a large time investment, and the old one time purchase model was not sustainable for users who wish to use the app for many years.  If you have the time, please contact me at jordi@hashtagapps.dev, keeping existing users like yourself happy is super important to me. Kind regards, Jordi
