### 5/5 — Great App

*2023-11-04*

Works just like it said it would. Note it does take the whole word and blocks it, so any word that contains the blocked word may get blocked as well. Works perfectly for me and hope it remains updated.

### 3/5 — Not entirely foolproof, but likely the best closest thing you’ll find.

*2023-10-26*

I set this up for my son, and before giving the phone back to him I tested the efficiency and while it’s somewhat effective, concerning results on the internet were still showing up. Just a fair warning.

### 5/5 — Very effective

*2023-01-24, version 1.0*

It’s exactly what I was looking for. Simple and easy to use. If you think it isn’t working, make sure it’s enabled in your Safari extensions. Also, after creating a new word or phrase, close and reopen Safari and the app and you should be good to go! 🤘🏽
