Perfect
100% recommend this app. I’ve been using it for a month and it’s removed all addictive elements from Facebook and Instagram. I feel like I’ve got my life back and my mood, productivity and energy levels have all improved incredibly, all whilst not having to give up messaging friends and seeing their posts on social media. I’ve been able to remove reels, explore pages and suggested posts so that all I have left is seeing what my real life friends are up to. Once I’m done with that (fairly quickly), I find it so easy to resume hobbies and my to do list. I’m also getting a lot more out of my relaxation time and the media I do enjoy, like films and tv shows, because I’m no longer scrolling whilst half watching stuff.

why is there a subscription if the app itself costs money
if you're looking for a low fuss solution on IOS to stop your screen time, keep looking! not only does the app cost money but there is a premium version within that, which is so stupid! if I already paid for something I should not then be asked to upgrade to a premium version. all these apps are trying to shill that they are healthy for you but just trying to make a buck. just download Ahero and ScrollGuard and use the features from both combined to do the same thing for free with less hassle. getting a refund for sure!

Great app!
Mostly use it for Reddit and Facebook. Helps reduce all the annoying UI bloat these sites have and just lets me focus on the features and content I actually want to use/see.
Bad
So far it has not blocked a single reel in Facebook. I have followed set up religiously several times and it obviously is not linking or doing its job. Worthless so far. Further I have texted owner 2 days ago and no response so far
Love it!
Most sites are ridiculously bloated with extra buttons, recommendations, and clutter taking up screen real estate these days. This app does a fantastic job cleaning up Reddit and Facebook for me. I already use UnTrap from the same developer for YouTube, and this brings similar features to the other sites. Great app overall, I hope the dev keeps adding toggles to hide new nonsense as sites keep updating!

Amazing & frankly life changing when its not broken
This is has had a huge positive impact on me over the last year & a half. Only thing is its breaks often / stops blocking specific parts of website often. I understand this may be just 1 man updating the code on this so that may explain why things like (fixing X.com timeline blocker) or (hide search bar on reddit) don’t get fixed for multiple months but meh whatever. Overall amazing app!!

Works great, disappointing that updates are being gated behind a subscription
On the whole works great to cleanup Twitter/Reddit but the fact that Codebase Updates are behind a subscription is pretty disappointing.
Works Brilliantly
This is the best app/extension for limiting the features on social media websites! None of the other extensions available on platforms like the Chrome Web Store work as well as this. It’s a must-have.!
the first app I always install, gave me my life back
I never write reviews for anything, but I just wanted to express my appreciation to the developer. Your app gave me my life back. Thank you so much. My screen time has gone down significantly and I feel like my interactions with social media are more significant. I spend 15 minutes a day only and I maximize my time. Initially, it was something I had to try really hard to do. But now it comes easy. Thank you, I wish all the best in the world to this developer, ❤️

Could be better
Only works on safari, ok app
La primera vez que dejo una reseña
Lo único que ha funcionado para hacer Instagram usable. Reels fuera, Explore fuera, suggested fuera. Solo veo a quienes sigo, que es para lo que me hice la cuenta originalmente. Meta no te deja hacer esto desde la app y por eso esta extensión existe. Imprescindible si quieres usar redes sociales en tus términos y no en los de ellos.

Macht mich so wütend 😡
Dümmste App ever. Seit meine Mutter diese App installiert hat und mit einem „Nicht Löschbar“ gemacht hat funktioniert gar nichts mehr. Mein geheimer Trick wie ich YouTube trotz Zeitlimit und Sperre kucken konnte ist einfach nicht mehr funktionierend. Ich Bin so WÜTEND. Löscht dies App sofort. Alle aus der Klasse schauen YouTube außer ich.

Straight scam this app
Horrible
The best you’re gonna find for iOS
I have a big screen time issue with instagram especially and going through university with it isn’t super easy. I’ve tried many tools such as using the website exclusively or sheer will power for avoiding reels but it’s never worked. This overall is really good for what it does. As far as pros I mean it works for the most part (it’s only through the browser not an actual app). As for slight cons if u force scroll really hard u can scroll briefly the home page but its like a nano second. Sometimes it also shows old dms idk why. This will solve most of the problem, the other is ur own. I do wish it could be implemented in the actual app tho. Overall 4/5

Broken
Not working on Instagram, needs fixed
Amazing Feauture
Very Easy to use, works like magic, would recommend it to anyone. (Would also recommend adding a password and having someone create the password so that you don't know it!)
Many sites are out of date
Updated in response to dev reply: Many of the issues I saw are fixed. This is definitely a cat-and-mouse type solution, so it’s reasonable for function drift to occur, but if it stays broken for a few months it is hard to recommend purchase at that time. Bump from 2 to 4 stars, it’d be 5 if update cycles were more frequent and fixes were listed.
I found this app incredibly useful and absolutely worth the money, but it is currently lagging behind the obnoxious features of many sites. Reddit has unhandled distracting elements, and HackerNews is essentially completely broken.
For example, currently it blocks Related Posts but does not have a feature for Related Answers, a newer distracting element in the site. It also omits some obvious preexisting features, like an inability to disable Join Subreddit buttons, though it has options for others.
Great, but not a complete solution.

Perfect for safari
I love using this for safari since it’s the only way I access social media on my phone. Thank you for this app it’s very helpful for me. If you are like me and don’t use the annoying phone apps this will be perfect for you.
Works for Instagram
BlockIt doesn't work for blocking the explore button on Instagram but this one does! I am so excited to be able to check Instagram only for my feed and not get tempted to click the explore buttom.
Your App is Amazing Thank You So Much!
This is exactly what everyone needs. You are more than a developer, you have helped many people. Thank you!
