Does the job, does require subscription tho

I enjoy how intentional I’ve become on social media with using this app. I just go in, search for what I want, and come right back out. There’s no worry of being tempted with recommended videos, friends stories, unnecessary LinkedIn posts. Yes you need to pay to get in, I don’t really mind it, personally it has been worth it to me, and may be to you if you relate to anything I mentioned.

Worth it !!

I rarely give reviews on apps but I feel like this app truly deserves a good review. It has helped me curve my phone addiction so much and along with it my spending habit. I am a loyal user and I encourage everyone to try it. Great app and the value it provides is well worth the subscription.

It’s paid

It’s listed as free on the App Store, but it’s unusable unless you subscribe. A pretty bad pattern for farming users.

Good functionality, fair price

Looking at the other reviews it seems like the developer really cares and is active in making this working.

More than happy to pay the £4/year for the improvement it has on my life.

Thank you

Deceptive.

They make you set it all up before letting you know it’s subscription based. Just be upfront about it instead of trying to trick us into it!

Doesn’t block YouTube recommendations in 2026

Needs to be updated

Recommended posts not being blocked

Disappointed that after paying for this app, recommended posts stop being blocked on instagram. Still good for removing reels and explore page but not working entirely as intended.

No longer works

Updated the app and no longer works unless I pay a yearly subscription

Great app

Is there a Mac version?

Been using this app for years

Does exactly what it says. Keeps me from doom scrolling, highly recommend. The small upfront 4 dollar cost for the year saves me 10’s of hours.

Worked well but then….

This app worked well for a month or so but now it doesn’t block ANYTHING from IG. Works great for YouTube but I paid for the year and it literally no longer works to block anything from IG

The best so far

Probably the best and healthiest balance of social media usage with this app

Keeps out all of the things that keep you from being productive.

Great app for blocking newsfeeds and reels. I strongly recommend it as an alternative to Newsfeed Eradicator on Chrome. Yes there’s a small subscription fee associated with it, but it’s worth your time. Only recommendation I would have is to have a free tier for those just looking to try it out.

Do not buy

Charged a once lifetime fee then only offered a subscription now to keep it going

Not free

Can’t do anything for free need to do a subscription no one time fee or anything like that. Other then that based of other reviews the app seems fine. But yah there’s no way to use it for free

Switch from lifetime to subscription

As others have said, the switch from a lifetime purchase to a recurring subscription without notification or opt-out is illegal and an immoral bait-and-switch. Gives me no confidence I’ll be able to keep using the app, even if I subscribe (which I wouldn’t on principle). Absolute trash move. 1 star.

$4 a year to get my life back is a bargain.

Youtube with no comments, NO SHORTS, no feeds. Finally able to use it like as an informational tool. same with Reddit, all feeds blocked. but i can still view helpful reddit threads through a google search. i’m free from the two biggest algorithms that take over my life. This extension is killer.

iOS 26

Doesn’t see to be working on iOS 26 or maybe I’m not doing it right but I followed instructions properly

Fixes social media

This app makes social media work in the way I think it always should have. No more endless scrolling through feeds or explore pages, no more brain rot reels. No more toxic comments sections. All I see is my friends and family and anyone I’ve chosen to follow. I can still message them, search for stuff and see groups but my life feels genuinely better without those negatives. The team are really responsive as well if one of the corporations realise they aren’t sucking your life away as efficiently as before and try to stop content blockers from working. If you report the issue they get fixed in quick

Does exactly what it says it does! :)

I was looking for an extension to block just the “feed” portions of certain sites so I wouldn’t get distracted or get sidetracked while working. This does exactly that (and more). Happy to pay for this since sites update all the time. Having it work across both macOS and iOS is a huge bonus.
