Block More P*RN

Wow, this is such a great way to help people. I love that this tool also connects with Relay and keep my supporters and team members in the loop.

Filtration is questionably strict.

My phone went on lockdown/cooldown for seeing pictures of fully clothed people on instagram. It locked up on a photo of a guy wearing a shirt and staring at his phone.

Weird thing to lockdown on. I have had some sensible cooldowns though. Still gonna use it because it’s a net benefit than negative. Would still recommend it greatly.

Thanks for letting us know! We are continually working on fine-tuning the algorithm to make it even more accurate.

Wow!

Works well! I really love it!

Response from developer

Yay!

Better than Covenant Eyes

This is a great app. Not just this app, but Relay’s whole catalogue thus far is just really helpful.

The regular Relay app helps you truly understand the “why” behind your chronic porn use. Shield helps you even more if your times of struggle.

I have been a Covenant Eyes users for years, and honestly Relay has found a better and more sophisticated way to block websites and unwanted images on other apps.

Really grateful to whomever is behind Relay. But ya, get this app if you are looking for a good blocker. 10/10

Response from developer

So glad to hear this!!

Great option!

This works very well. I appreciate the notification when something is on the screen. “Hey remember that you’re trying to recover.”Without someone to set up a password, it is realy easy to disable and still have access to pornography, but ultimately it works like it is supposed to work. I love the automatic notification to the Relay team. Talk about accountable. I am trying to think of ways to make it better or work better. I can’t. I really think it works great! I asked about what happens to the recordings abs they don’t use up storage and are deleted shortly after the session. This is a great product and it does the job on all the apps I have. That something I have tried to do in the past- get around “Covenant Eyes” by seeing things on different apps rather than having my whole phone be on the software.

Thank you for the kind words! Yes, Shield becomes much more powerful when you have someone set a password to prevent you from disabling. Glad it has been helpful.
