## Most critical reviews (4 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — No longer works

*2018-01-09, version 1.1*

Hide & Seek stopped working a couple weeks ago. Hopefully it’ll see an update sometime soon, but I’m not holding my breath; last update was nearly a year ago.

### 4/5 — Amazing app, functional design

*2016-04-20, version 1.0*

The app is great, and the design is pleasantly simplistic.

I took off a star because:

1) In Google (and Bing) search results, you must "open in new tab" -- otherwise, you will be tracked. I don't see any reason why the anti-tracking stuff shouldn't be able to work on the same tab.

2) The app is very limited, only working for Google and Bing, and even then not blocking cookies like most conventional ad-blockers do.

### 5/5 — Simple things to do to keep privacy intact

*2017-04-18*

Does as advertised, great work Roopesh. Keeping your privacy intact one step at a time.

### 5/5 — Great

*2015-11-07*

Working to block
