### 5/5 — Fantastic app!

*2026-05-31, version 1.3.2*

This app is exactly what I needed. It blocks words in text and on Google it will even filter photo results to not display that are associated with the keyword without compromising your actual ability to search! Excellent!!! 5,000 Stars!!!

### 5/5 — Helpful

*2026-05-12*

I got this because I am a cancer survivor and have a lot of health anxiety from that and from other medical issues both I and members of family have gone through. I’d spend hours searching things trying to calm my mind and only making myself feel worse and more anxious. Now I literally can’t read anything because I’ve blocked many keywords.

### 5/5 — Works

*2026-05-03, version 1.3.2*

The reviews saying it does not work are wrong.

### 2/5 — Doesn’t work

*2026-03-14, version 1.3.2*

Followed instructions. App is listed as an extension, but it’s greyed out and I can’t turn it on.  Running latest OS.

### 5/5 — 類似アプリより二段階程使い勝手がいいです

*2026-02-07*

消える前にチラッと見えてしまう問題がユーザー側で調整可能、単語だけの登録でもそれを含む行が全部消える。
特筆するのはこの２つですが、他にも細々した便利な点が多くてとっても助かります。
しかも不思議なくらい軽い。

iPhoneはこの有料版Safari拡張機能を導入し、Xやブログを「ホーム画面に追加」でWEBアプリ化(「WEBアプリとして開く」はoff)、Windowsはedge拡張機能、Androidは拡張機能が使えるedgeブラウザで導入後WEBアプリ化。異なる端末間をクラウド間同期。

これでXやtogetterなどのごった煮系サービスでも攻撃的な存在を消して有益情報だけを拾えるようになりました。

炎上・対立煽りなどは鳴き声のように決まり文句を使う人が多いので、存在を消し去るのが簡単です。本当に平和なネットで素晴らしいです。

ただ、同じブログでもiPhone・Win・Androidで「単語しか消えない」「単語含む1行と画像が消える」「画像だけ残る」など挙動が違ってくることがあります。
デスクトップ表示かモバイル表示かでも違うみたいなので、この辺りをオプションのCSS機能等で詰めていくのかな？

### 3/5 — なんで？

*2025-07-30*

キーワード入力しても追加できなかった

### 5/5 — This App is a Lifesaver

*2025-07-12, version 1.3.2*

Blocks all the garbage articles/keyword titles from yahoo news page from the garbage keywords I put in this app to filter/block out.  No other app like this I know of period.  Also no other app that syncs and has both iOS and chrome etc extensions.

### 3/5 — サジェストだけを消したい

*2025-04-07*

登録ひとつでサジェストから検索結果、サイト記事まで、全てのワードを一発であぼーんしてくれる点は素晴らしいです。
ただ私は主にサジェストでのネタバレを防ぐ目的で購入したので、全て消してしまうのはいかんせん行きすぎで、いまいち使い勝手を見いだせていません。
さすがに酷い中傷や差別表現は検索エンジン側も対応しますし、そのようなサイトはublacklistで検索結果から除外してしまった方が楽です。

もしかしたらCSSセレクターの設定でサジェストのみ消すことも可能なのかもしれませんが、プログラミングは全くできないので分かりません。もし可能なら教えていただきたいです。
また、登録したワードが増えてくると、何が消えているのかも分からなくなりそうなので、ublacklistのようにワンフリックで確認できるような機能があればよいと思います。

### 5/5 — Finally

*2025-02-16*

Thank you!

### 4/5 — 本当に最高のアプリだからこそ…

*2025-02-03*

Safariのキーワードブロッカーがなく、探してたところにこのアプリを見つけました。
ブロックするだけのアプリはたくさんありますが、表示させないのが本当にいい！
有料のアプリなので買うのに少し躊躇しましたが、買って本当によかったです！(^^)
YouTubeの見たくない動画もブロックされてストレスが減りました最高です。🙏
だからこそ、ハッシュタグやURLからブロック出来ると本当にいいです。
ブロックするキーワードが動画名にあればブロックされるんですけど、チャンネルごとブロックができないので、出来ると本当に神アプリになるので、もしよければお願いします。m(_ _)m
