## What is The Blocker for Adult Content?

NEW — STRONG PROTECTION (PRO)
Block adult sites in every browser and inside apps, not only in Safari. Turn on "Can't delete The Blocker", lock the apps you choose, and use the Hard moment button to block everything for an hour. It uses Apple's Screen Time, so nothing leaves your iPhone.

The Blocker helps you take back your focus, beat distraction and browse safely in Safari.

Block distracting, adult and harmful websites, wipe out ads, trackers, malware and phishing, and stay in control — all in one clean, simple app. No account, no sign-up.

WHAT YOU CAN DO
• Block any website you choose — adult sites, social media, games and more
• Block whole categories in one tap — social media, gambling, news, adult and more (Pro except Adult)
• Subscribe to popular ad, tracker, malware & phishing blocklists — or add your own custom list URL (Pro)
• Allow exceptions — keep trusted sites on an always-allow list
• Schedule focus time — block during work, study, sleep or any hours, including overnight (Pro)
• Add a tamper delay — turning blocking off takes time, so you can't quit on impulse (Pro)
• See your activity — today, all-time, a 30-day chart and your top blocked sites, kept on device (Pro)
• Block a site straight from Safari with the Share button
• Lock the app with Face ID, Touch ID or your passcode
• Sync your rules across iPhone and iPad with iCloud (optional) (Pro)

GREAT FOR
• Studying and deep work without distraction
• Cutting screen time and building healthy digital habits
• Parental controls — helping keep kids and teens safer online
• Faster, cleaner, safer browsing with fewer ads and threats

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Blocking happens on your device — no accounts, no ads. The sites you block never leave your device. Optional iCloud sync stays in your own private iCloud.

MAKE IT STICK
Pair with Screen Time to keep your rules tamper-proof, so your blocking can't be switched off.

Stay focused. Block what holds you back.

THE BLOCKER PRO
Free: block up to 10 sites of your choice plus the Adult category. Pro unlocks every category, ad/tracker/malware lists, focus schedules, activity stats, iCloud sync and the tamper delay.
Monthly, yearly or once for lifetime — prices in your currency are shown in the app. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the period ends; manage or cancel in Settings ▸ Apple Account ▸ Subscriptions.

### 5/5 — Отличное приложение

*2024-06-24*

Великолепный блокировщик порнографии, стоит дешевле, чем подписка в бесплатных приложениях, при том функционал такой же

**Developer response:** Спасибо вам огромное — такие отзывы очень много значат для нас. С тех пор приложение сильно выросло: настройка теперь сама проверяет, действительно ли Safari использует The Blocker, а кнопка «Проверить» показывает блокировку своими глазами. Русский интерфейс уже в пути в ближайшем обновлении. Обновитесь и загляните — нам важно ваше мнение.

### 5/5 — Updated design

*2024-02-10*

The design is update, but it's difficult to enter the password without the app thinking it's wrong, when you're right.

**Developer response:** Thank you for the kind words, and sorry about that password screen — being told your correct password is wrong is genuinely annoying. That screen is gone: the app now unlocks with Face ID, Touch ID or your device passcode, so there is nothing to mistype. Setup also confirms that Safari is really using The Blocker, and a Test it button shows blocking working in front of you. We would love you to update and see it.

### 5/5 — Good app for blocking disturbing websites

*2023-08-06*

This is a great app for blocking upsetting websites and terms but something that would be good is a search feature where you can search for the keyword(s) that you want to unblock without having to scroll through lots of other words.

**Developer response:** Thank you — knowing the app helps you avoid upsetting sites is exactly why we build it. Your idea about searching your keyword list is noted and on our list. Meanwhile the latest update is worth a look: blocking now works reliably with very large lists, setup confirms Safari is really using The Blocker, and a new Test it button lets you see blocking work with your own eyes.

### 5/5 — Nur für Altgeräte

*2022-07-01*

Funktioniert 1a, leider nur bis iPhone 6s :-(.

**Developer response:** Vielen Dank für das Lob und für die ehrliche Rückmeldung. Damals war das leider eine echte Einschränkung. Inzwischen wurde die App komplett neu gebaut: ganze Kategorien mit einem Tipp, Fokus-Zeitpläne, Statistiken und eine Schaltfläche „Testen“, die zeigt, dass Safari wirklich blockiert. Auf einem aktuellen iPhone oder iPad würden wir uns sehr freuen, wenn du ihr noch einmal eine Chance gibst.

### 5/5 — NICE!

*2021-09-29, version 1.1*

Thanks so much, I can now block websites!

### 1/5 — Dose not work

*2021-03-18*

Added a website and try to go there did not talk at all. I tried to copy and paste the website directly to the app to make sure there were no errors still did not block

**Developer response:** We're sorry — that is a frustrating experience, and you were right to expect better. The cause was almost always the same: the blocker has to be switched on inside Safari's settings, and the old app let you skip that step without warning you. The latest version checks it for you and refuses to say "you're all set" until Safari is really using The Blocker, and a Test it button shows blocking working in front of you. If you give it another try, we think you'll see the difference.

### 5/5 — Simple and works

*2020-03-29*

Thank you so much, this app helped me so much

### 1/5 — Didn’t work at all

*2019-09-22*

Didn’t work on iPad mini2

**Developer response:** We're sorry it let you down on that iPad. Older devices could not run the Safari blocking the app depends on, and we should have made that clearer at the time. The app has been rebuilt since and now runs on iOS 17.2 and later, with setup that confirms Safari is really blocking and a Test it button that shows it working. On a newer iPad we would be glad to have you back.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2019-08-17*

Doesn’t work

### 5/5 — Thank you!!

*2019-01-21*

Literally unable to browse a site with that pop up giftssurprises net spin wheel crap. iOS doesn’t block it at all. Installed this. Straight forward directions. Turned on in content blocker of safari and viola. Page couldn’t open and hijack browsing. Excellent!! Just added that spy facebook net too. Wtg!! Thank you. Easy. Effective. Long overdue. <3

**Developer response:** Thank you — this review still makes us smile. Those hijacking pop-ups are exactly what we set out to stop. The app now also carries ad, tracker, malware and phishing lists, focus schedules and stats, and a Test it button that proves Safari is really blocking. Update when you get a chance, and thank you for the early support.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 2.11 — 2026-10-30

Pro now has a one-month option that does not renew. Strong protection follows your Pro period and switches off when it ends. New in Settings: optional tips and offers. Plus performance improvements and fixes.

### 2.10 — 2026-10-24

Easier setup on iOS 18 and earlier: the steps now start where Settings opens, with a picture of the button to tap. Plus performance improvements and fixes.

### 2.9 — 2026-10-13

New: Strong protection (Pro) blocks adult sites in every browser and inside apps, not only in Safari. It can keep The Blocker from being deleted, lock the apps you choose, and give you a Hard moment button that blocks everything for an hour. Also new: gentle check-ins during your 30-day challenge, and a quick way to share The Blocker. Plus performance improvements and fixes.

### 2.8 — 2026-09-29

Easier first setup: the Face ID lock now starts after you finish setting up, and coming back from Settings keeps your place. Phones without a passcode are no longer locked out. Home now shows the Safari step as done once blocking is on. Plus performance improvements and fixes.

### 2.7 — 2026-09-26

New: the 30-day challenge — a counter that never sends you back to zero after a slip. In Safari, a blocked site now shows a calm rescue page instead of an empty one. Pro adds smart insights: your risky time and a reminder before it. The Pro page now lists every feature clearly.
