Best Blocker By Far

Allows you to actually prevent app deletion which used to be an easy way to bypass any blocker. Now, you can make it essentially impossible to unblock your apps unless you use a code which you can just give to a friend or store at a remote location. Amazing.

bruh

your stupid app isnt even that good in the first place but you guys decided having a mediocre social media blocker wasn't enough and had to add 30 second ads for every time someone hits unblock and the ads are literally for TikTok and Instagram and sometimes the button doesn't even work the first time so I have to watch 60 fricking seconds of ads

Best Free option app blocker

It’s got the deterrent of blocking apps for you when you need to take a break, has a payment option but honestly I find the free features already really beneficial.
