I like to have no icons and I don’t change my settings often. Also if there is a way to block the sites I have blocked from the Google sponsored results as well that would be great. Thanks! ### 4/5 — 已整腸 *2024-06-23, version 8.8.2* 灰戶了 ### 4/5 — The sync function doesn’t work and it doesn‘t block in the image tab. *2024-05-12, version 8.6.2* It's been a while since the sync function didn't work. When I first used this extension, it was properly synced to Dropbox, but I inadvertently turned off the sync function one day to check if the function worked well, but after that, an error page appeared and I couldn't set the sync function. I thought I wasn't the only one like this, and I thought someone would put feedback and forgot about it, The update that was uploaded today (May 12, Korean time) still gets an error and doesn't sync. It says error (400), and I can't set up sync. This is the same for the PC version extension. But I was able to finish the setup by unmarking 'Open authentication page in a new tab' on the PC version, but unfortunately I can't even unmark it on the iOS version. I don't know if you'll see this review, but I hope the pages I blocked on my PC will be blocked on iOS as well, so I hope the sync will work fine. One more thing, the block feature doesn't work in Google's image tab. One day, it was solved by a related update, but since one day, it hasn't been blocked in the image tab again. How many blocked sites have been hidden, and the hidden and display buttons don't even appear. On the iOS version, I can't even see the 'Block this site' button under each image in Google's Images tab. I'm getting a lot of help from this app to block unnecessary sites while using Google search. Thank you very much I hope this app works as intended. ### 5/5 — What I've been looking for! *2024-04-09* App does exactly what I wanted, which is to block individual websites on Safari. Then, they never bother me again! Wonderful app; thank you, Developer! ❤️ ### 5/5 — It’s work perfectly *2024-01-03, version 8.4.0* Great App it’s working great now issues, small app and a likely privacy. Maybe in future it’s working with iCloud syncing. ### 5/5 — Necessary Extension *2023-10-27, version 8.3.5* This extension is exactly what I needed to get better search results. ### 4/5 — Great when it works *2023-06-14, version 8.3.1* This is an essential extension that should really be a feature in search engines themselves. Unfortunately it’s a bit brittle and tends to break. The extension purports to work on startpage.com but no longer works there. ### 5/5 — 太好了！ *2023-06-12, version 8.3.1* 终于不用看到不想看的网页出现在搜索结果里了。 ### 3/5 — Can't block Google news results *2023-06-03, version 8.3.0* This is one of the top features I was hoping for but the "block site" option doesn't appear under any news results. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Rubbish *2025-10-08, version 9.2.0* You used to be able to just block sites you didn’t want to get results from in Safari on iOS, now though these people have completely ruined the extension and you can only block 5 sites at a time. It’s not because they’re selling subscriptions to be able to block more sites for a monthly fee, they’re not selling anything. There’s no subscription, they’ve just destroyed the extension for reasons that only make sense to selfish, crazy people. They’ve just completely destroyed the app outright and your ability to block sites from search results because they utterly hate you, they hate the people like me and you who’ve used this extension for years to successfully block dozens of garbage sites from search results, now they’ve destroyed the ability of this extension to do what it used to. Now you can only block 5 sites and they’re so disrespectful they can’t even provide a subscription system. I’m now getting results from trash sites I haven’t seen anything from for over 3 years. These people hate you. These people don’t deserve your support. What used to be the greatest iOS Safari extension is now a complete joke that no one wants to use. Thanks for nothing uBlacklist, you played yourself. ### 1/5 — The app is not working anymore. *2025-08-16, version 9.1.0* The app is useless now and does not block any websites from appearing in search results. ### 1/5 — Not working *2025-07-27, version 9.0.2* This app has stopped working ### 1/5 — Doesn't work *2025-07-12, version 9.0.2* You add sites and they still appear in search results. Does not work like the desktop app with the same name. Doesn't appear to do anything. ### 1/5 — GARBAGE *2024-07-10, version 8.8.3* Blocked youtube but youtube garbage still shows up. No I don’t want to watch your video/propaganda. ### 1/5 — BUGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!! *2024-05-12, version 8.6.2* This is an UNBEATABLE BUG!!!! When I swap the pages, the feeling of stuttering is very obvious. I'm very sure that this problem comes from this extension, because I have tested every extension on my safari. And when I switch up this extension, here comes the stuggering. ### 1/5 — Virus APP BEWARE!!! *2024-03-11* This app does NOT work as it says, and to learn you will have to enable the extension with full access to your browser and sensitive data! It will not block sites or keep them from showing up in search results! This is likely a Russian spy program and it needs to be removed from the store immediately! They are using our freedoms against us to pass off their scamware as reliable companies with reviews and followers. I am now having to monitor all my accounts while I delete my history and erase all my passwords! ### 1/5 — Not working *2024-02-04, version 8.5.0* Got this for the purpuse of blocking one website from search or visit. Neither works. ### 1/5 — Continuous scrolling broken as of May 2024 *2023-05-26, version 8.3.0* This app works great on Firefox for Mac, but on the iPhone, continuous scrolling appears to be broken. I just googled Ron DeSantis and it stopped after one page of results, and wouldn’t allow continuous scrolling. I know Trump is the front runner, but Ron DeSantis has to have more than 10 results on Google! Now when I turned off uBlacklist, everything works normal, and I can continue scrolling and scrolling through endless Google results ### 1/5 — Used to be good *2023-05-24, version 8.3.0* This extension used to be great but for some reason it's just stopped working on 16.4.1. Have the latest update but still didn't fix it. Disappointing. Sick to death of getting CNN results when I search for news articles when uBlacklist used to hide them. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Not working anymore *2026-05-26, version 9.7.0* Edit: It works now after disabling all my other extensions and re-enabling. Love this extension, use it on the desktop and usually on Safari, but it seems not to be working anymore, can’t see any blocking UI on google.com and nothing happens if you try to open the extension within safari ### 5/5 — Totally awesome life saver *2025-10-26, version 9.3.0* I sincerely appreciate you making this wholesome software. It helps me to focus on what i need. Seriously, these days there are too many distractions and harmful things from toxic websites that i don’t even want to see. ### 5/5 — Totally awesome *2025-10-24* I sincerely appreciate you making this wholesome software. It helps me to focus on what i need. Seriously, these days there are too many distractions and harmful things from toxic websites that i don’t even want to see. ### 5/5 — It's working again ❤️ *2025-06-24, version 9.0.1* LOVE uBlacklist for Safari for cleaning up my Google Search results. So simple to "block" unwanted sites. They stay blocked, too. One of my most useful apps ever. Thanks, developer, for promptly fixing the bug. Back to 5 stars! ### 5/5 — great app *2025-06-22, version 9.0.1* awesome, thank you! ### 5/5 — It just works! *2025-03-31, version 8.10.1* Great UI, easy to use but offers deep customisation, synchronisation avilable through Google Drive or DropBox. I use it on all my Apple devices. ### 5/5 — Great App *2025-02-24* Appreciation from USA ### 5/5 — What I've been looking for! *2024-06-24* App does exactly what I wanted, which is to block individual websites on Safari. Then, they never bother me again! Wonderful app; thank you, Developer! ❤️ ### 5/5 — 8.8.1版本在iOS17.5.1导致Safari闪退，望修复。 *2024-06-18, version 8.8.1* 作者您好，很喜欢您的作品，以往效果都很好，今天更新到8.8.1版本之后，iOS17.5.1的Safari一直闪退，无法使用，希望您检查并修复，谢谢！ ### 5/5 — !WoW! *2024-05-02, version 8.5.1* At last, here is an app that can filter from search results the nonsense you get from Quora and Reddit!!! This app does exactly what it says and is amazing. You know longer have to scroll past rubbish search results that you know *are rubbish* Why? Because they no longer appear in the search results!!! So easy to add sites to the blacklist as well. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
