### 1/5 — Useless.

*2026-03-13, version 1.1*

It does absolutely nothing, tried it in every format and nothing is blocked, complete failure of an app.

### 1/5 — Two problems I encountered

*2025-11-09, version 1.1*

1. If the app detects that you haven’t set-up blocker settings in your browser, it will prompt you with a link to go to settings and fix it. However, it instead brings you to “Domain & URL Blocker” settings, which is not where you need to go.

2. This app doesn’t work on Chrome, which where I need to use it.

### 4/5 — It works

*2025-09-15, version 1.1*

It seemingly blocks the majority of tracking domains on Safari. Every now and again a Google domain slips through but that’s to be expected. My only wish is that it had logs on what’s causing site breakage and when after you block certain domains. That and I wish it worked on other WebKit based browsers

### 5/5 — Perfect

*2025-06-27, version 1.1*

Exactly what I needed

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2025-06-12, version 1.1*

Tried it on Safari, does not block websites

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2025-05-20, version 1.1*

Doesn’t work

### 5/5 — Works as Advertised

*2025-04-19, version 1.1*

Easy to setup and works as expected.

### 5/5 — Almost Perfect

*2025-02-15, version 1.1*

I wrote a review earlier stating that it didn't block certain instances that I needed it to, but it started working the moment I submitted my review.

However, there is still something I'd like from this app as well: exceptions. If there are rules for blocking then I think that there should be exceptions to those rules as well. And maybe even a nifty little extension in safari toolbar to turn a URL into an exception easily.

This app is easily 5 stars for how easy it is and how little fluff there is. I think my suggestion would make this review 6 stars or more if possible.

### 5/5 — LA MEJOR APP DEL MUNDO!!!!

*2024-12-30, version 1.1*

Por fin puedo bloquear Tiktok de una vez por todas :D También puedo bloquear los rickrolls para no caer otra vez :)

### 5/5 — It’s MAGIC 🌈

*2024-06-13*

Great app that does just about what every geek likes to do- whitelist and blacklist domains!
