*2025-12-30, version 1.6*

before any of the big changes of the app it was perfectly fine and worked its purpose. Maybe i just dont know how to work the app but whenever i click on “Add new” and click any of the options it doesn’t work which frustrates me. the only thing it lets me use is to block apps but only in a certain area which irritates me. It still block the app which is good but i dont want it only blocked in one place? its a good feature and is useful in some cases, but im forced to use it since i cant use the “add new” part.
