Will probably cancel my subscription because of this and look for an alternative that does not lock me out of something I pay for. However, It is good at blocking sites :) ### 4/5 — Works perfectly but hard to manage kids devices *2023-07-28, version 4.1.7* Works perfectly on my own phone but not clear how to set this up for my kids ### 4/5 — app block *2022-11-15, version 4.0.7* please add apps to block with schedule thanks ### 5/5 — Recommended app *2022-06-24, version 4.0.1* I recommend this app because THIS app is soo good bro, worth trying. Thanks to developers it's free, because there are many apps like this that are with paying and its annoying to pay, but this app is legit free and i really like it!! It works the way i want and it helped me soo much! This app should be installed more often. ### 5/5 — Best of the best *2021-01-02, version 4.0.1* I promise you. This is the right app for you and your family. I’m being unbiased here. They don’t pay me for this feedback. ### 5/5 — Completely fantastic and great ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ *2021-01-02* This app completely filters out both adult and pornographic content material on the internet while allowing you to surf the internet with no websites or material that will allow you or family to be exposed to such extreme graphics or material that would be considered dangerous. ### 5/5 — Works *2020-11-05, version 4.0.1* Looks simple and effective. An easy step everyone should do to help keep devices free of unwanted stuff. Highly recommend. ### 5/5 — May the developer live for 100 more years *2020-09-14, version 3.1* Helped me so so much. ### 5/5 — Great peace of mind *2020-08-20, version 3.1* Runs on all our devices, all the time. Free, easy to install and use - awesome. ### 5/5 — Good job. Great app *2020-08-04, version 3.1* Thank you. I can’t believe that app is free. ### 5/5 — Is it really safe? *2020-02-23* What are the chances by agreeing to the VPN, they can steal your information? ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Worked ok until subscription renewed *2025-10-12, version 5.3.9* This app worked well for my family until my subscription ran out. I renewed it but the app would no longer work on any phone despite uninstalling and reinstalling and following instructions from the helpdesk. That still didn’t work but they wouldn’t give me a refund so I have paid for a years subscription I can’t use. ### 1/5 — I had this app for around a month but it never helps. *2025-08-15* I had this app for a month and i didn’t anything good in it + I could easily uninstall it. But the bad thing is it blocked everyone in discord,whatsapp, and snap. I can’t really unblock them or do anything since it blocked everyone i know and can’t unblock.. ### 1/5 — I’m not able to add a site to block it *2023-02-19, version 4.1.6* Like when I’m trying to add a specific site and block it there is a problem. Cause when i add the site it does get added but when i try and save it, that doesn’t go through. It just keeps buffering. Pls help. ### 1/5 — I cannot access this *2021-01-25* When I downloaded the app, the screen says No connection, and I can’t do anything with it, hopefully this will be fixed, my internet connection is fine ### 1/5 — Lost Worth *2020-08-19* After the new update, the app asks for touch login which makes it easy to login and disable settings. It was password protected earlier so it was much safer. The new update destroyed the purpose and the app. ### 1/5 — Still let me go onto a porn website *2020-07-28* I downloaded this and it said I was set up, but it still let me get on pornhub when I wanted to test it. Still trying out the app but doesn’t seem to work for me. ### 1/5 — Blocks website but all you have to do is click images *2020-07-14* For example on google - type in a pornographic term in search box and it won’t bring up any websites - but if you click on images at top of phone screen it brings up pic and pic and pic of pure porn and nastiness. Totally defeats the purpose of the app.... ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2019-06-21, version 2.0* App doesn’t block anything. ### 2/5 — Face ID *2020-09-12* Devs please get rid of the Face ID feature because it totally ruins the point of the app ### 2/5 — VPN can be deleted *2020-04-30, version 2.0* Although it can be made unable to uninstall in iOS but one can easily delete the vpn by going into the setting and safesurfer stop working and filtering kindly fix this. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Block *2026-01-23, version 5.4.6* Good ### 5/5 — Most features I’ve seen in a blocker *2025-11-02* It’s incredible how many features are packed into this app. There are some unique features like nudity detection that make it stand above competitors. The bypass prevention features are well thought out. Overall it’s just a really solid app! ### 5/5 — Easy. Convenient. Good price. *2025-06-14* I am very impressed with this application. Great job!!! ### 5/5 — Simple but excellent job. Free but worth. *2024-01-06, version 4.1.7* Get me out for pornographic picture, video, website, everything. Nofap app for everyone. Also very helpful for kids. ### 5/5 — Works great! *2024-01-01, version 4.1.7* Have been searching high and low for a simple app that blocks adult content, with almost every app demanding some form of payment to do such, whilst Safe Surfer does not. Very refreshing to see an app that does what it advertises free of charge! Thank you Safe Surfer. ### 5/5 — Great app *2023-06-27* Protection is unbelievably good ### 5/5 — Brilliant *2023-04-14, version 4.1.7* We have been so impressed with this app - we have it running on all devices constantly and have never had any pop-ups or problems with inappropriate adds etc. No adult content accessible which is brilliant! Ensure you check the pin is still correct at regular intervals ### 5/5 — 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 5 star would recommend! *2023-04-12, version 4.1.7* This app is so safe it even tells you on chrome , google, safari or whatever you are on if it is safe or not! This app is amazing thank you for creating it. ### 5/5 — Great App *2022-09-27, version 4.0.1* It is effective. 🤟🏻 ### 5/5 — Best blocking app out there. *2022-07-25, version 4.0.1* Highly recommend that any person with an electronic device download this app. You can go to settings and choose what sites and apps you would like blocked. I would recommend taking advantage of all of it. There is some really terrible stuff out there. This is a helpful tool for anyone struggling. Jesus will set you free from whatever you are struggling with, just give it all to him with your whole heart. He forgives you. He loves you no matter how many times you have failed and will continue to fail. His love is unconditional. Never forget that! ✝️🙏🏼 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
