Thanks, BetBlocker Team ### 1/5 — Don’t download *2026-04-03, version 1.40* Totally lost access to my apps, couldn’t get on any of my online banking!!!! Made my phone so slow and crash as soon as I deleted it, it all started to work again ### 1/5 — Effing awful *2026-04-03, version 1.40* Turns your phone into a useless brick. Couldn’t access banking apps, email, browsers. I had to do a factory reset to get it off of my phone. ### 2/5 — Awful *2026-03-31, version 1.40* I was using this app for a couple of months and it has been working pretty good until occurring now, it wasn’t letting me sign into my bank, FaceTime calls, emails etc. For more than 3 days and that right there makes me withdraw away from taking this platform seriously for any reasoning. Stay FAR AWAY from this app if don’t want to be able to not use your WiFi & Data for a couple of days. ### 3/5 — Consigo desbloquear no IPhone *2026-03-29* Infelizmente não funciona no IPhone (basta desativar o vpn). Não tem como dar um jeito nisso? **Developer response:** Hi AyllaLeal, If you've managed to bypass the block in this way, contact our User Support team (support@betblocker.org). They can help you. Thanks, BetBlocker Team ### 1/5 — blocks apps that have nothing to do with betting *2026-03-28, version 1.40* blocked sky go , bbc sport app and even my weather app , i understand your trying to help people but it would be nice if you stuck to actual betting sites ### 1/5 — DO NOT DOWNLOAD! YOUR PHONE WILL BE UNUSABLE!!! *2026-03-15* I downloaded this like everyone else. It makes you give access to certain developer settings which I thought nothing of at the time and went through with it. I slowly started to notice after that my phone was frustratingly slow. Sites and essential apps like Gmail never loaded no matter if I was on Wi-Fi or 5G. A month later I realized these issues started happening right when I downloaded this thing so I removed the developer access from my phone and the issues suddenly vanished. Not worth it. **Developer response:** Hi knicks, App Store reviews are not the correct place to request technical assistance. We have 17k+ people actively using our iOS app every day.

Thanks, BetBlocker Team ### 1/5 — BAD *2026-03-01, version 1.39* This app nuked every other app on my phone. DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS APP. ### 1/5 — Upset *2026-01-19* This app has blocked so many necessary apps on my phone, it was working fine until my iPhone updated with newest versions now my medical portal, and facebook, royal Caribbean app which is needed to connect on the shop for communication and many other important apps that have nothing todo with gambling. This is a real mess now. I need these apps and days restricted when I try to reinstall. Do no download this app **Developer response:** Hi MsBeate, App Store reviews are not the correct place to request technical assistance. We have 17k+ people actively using our iOS app every day.

Nothing would load. I couldn’t search anything use any music it was terrible.

Thanks, BetBlocker Team ### 1/5 — Not great *2026-06-10, version 1.42* Messaged twice as since downloading the app loads of normal apps want load , eBay , workday , Amazon , sometimes face book and instagram , wish I hadn’t of put 6 months as can’t seem to contact them or don’t respond, has blocked gambling apps though which is what I wanted but would be nice for my phone to work as normal ### 1/5 — Horrible *2026-06-07, version 1.42* This app is horrible. It will make your phone essentially useless. Makes everything take 10x longer to load because it used a dns profile. It is also constantly running in the background slowing down your device even more. Find an alternative because this app is very poorly designed. Couldn’t even load my emails for over 15 minutes. ### 1/5 — Doesn't work *2026-05-31, version 1.41* Absolute rubbish! Downloaded, installed via VPN as per instructions. Typed in coral bookmakers, took me straight to the site! Terrible! ### 1/5 — Horrible *2026-05-30* I downloaded this app and my iPhone has been running slow . I can’t get it off my phone so my phone would work correctly. **Developer response:** Hi tm445, We can't deliver tech support over App Store Reviews.

I uninstalled it and my phone is still not working right!! I am now thinking about wiping my phone to see if it will go back to normal. **Developer response:** Hi Kayna4697475, We can't deliver tech support over App Store Reviews.

Please contact support at support@betblocker.org to resolve your issues. Uninstalling the app won't remove your block. It only prevents your block terminating at the appropriate point. Thanks, BetBlocker Team ### 1/5 — Garbage *2026-04-21* Phone stopped functioning correctly as soon as I followed the steps to install. Don’t waste your time. To the person responding to these reviews this is actually the exact place we should be going to complain about app functionality. **Developer response:** Hi Hypemancollin22, Thanks for your review. If your motivation is to communicate your frustration to other users, rather than to get help with the issues you're experiencing, you're correct. However, if you want help to fix the problems, you should contact our support team at support@betblocker.org, and we'll be happy to help you. Thanks, BetBlocker Team ### 1/5 — Useless *2026-04-13, version 1.40* Completely useless. Blocks the Facebook app and non gambling sites on safari. Pointless. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — New beginnings *2026-09-01* Just downloaded this it works so I set it for a years time ready to see my earnings ### 5/5 — Actually works now!!! *2026-08-12* At first I tried this app a couple months ago when struggling with a gambling addiction and all it did was make my phone overheat and didn’t work. I gave it another chance and it immediately blocked every single site you can gamble on…from draftkings/fanduel to social casinos. It looks like it’ll change my life for the better forever. Hoping everyone gets the support they need! **Developer response:** Hi Mac Quakes, Thank you for the positive review.

There’s still some apps or websites that still go through but that gets fix with time and user input. **Developer response:** Hi Ketrix7, Hi there, Thank you for the positive review.

BetBlocker Team ### 5/5 — I don’t like how my phone has gotten slow, but I do like having money *2026-06-14* I wanna start by saying that a lot of people point out it does mess up the functionality of the phone, but I also wanna say that the first day really screwed up my phone but I waited it out and it seemed like as the app got to know what things were. I started working correctly. I couldn’t even get into my banking app at first but I gave it a day and now everything works properly and things are speeding up again any problems that I went through that day to I’ve been going through with gambling by far. I noticed that I was starting to develop a real problem gambling. I couldn’t keep a cent that I was making because I would immediately get on every gambling website. To try to win, and when I did win, I would just put it back in. It got to the point where I would make money and use the entire thing. I need in one day and I couldn’t take it anymore so I was reading the gambling responsible stuff on DraftKings and mentioned this app. I have blocked myself out for timeframe and amounts before, but if they’re a couple days. Change it and then take it off a couple days after that so I wanted something that was not gonna allow me to do that. As much as I regretted it after I did it because I do miss it. I don’t regret it at the same time weight has been lifted off my chest. I’m very grateful **Developer response:** Hi jessebell26, Thank you for your positive reviews. Firstly - with regard to the slow down in the first few days - that was an issue with our servers that we've identified and corrected.

BetBlocker Team ### 5/5 — Great app *2025-09-30, version 1.35* Great app, blocks all sites on safari which GameStop doesn’t do. ### 5/5 — Thought it didn’t work either *2025-07-31, version 3.3.0* I read the reviews where it didn’t work and I thought why not try it anyway?? It’s free!! Well I downloaded it and guess what??? It didn’t work!! I tried several different sites and I was allowed in to gamble. WTH?? So I deleted the app and tried again. Apparently I didn’t follow directions properly as I didn’t go into settings and allow the “profile”. Well I did it right the second time and it absolutely works 100%!!! It even blocked the gambling sites while I was in the USA. Mind you I am not tech savvy at all, but at 67 I did figure it out. It was really hard to commit to this but hopefully it will keep me on the straight and narrow.
