### 5/5 — Can you please add text replacement 🥺

*2025-12-17, version 0.3.2*

I love the app, but can you please make it so it will also replace the words with something of you choosing? So when you scroll the website it will replace each word, for example, word; (Wolf) replacement; (Dog). Please do this! 😭🙏

### 4/5 — Great app

*2023-03-20*

I’m currently going through a hard time in my life and am very sensitive to triggering online content. For ages, I’d desperately been trying to find iOS-friendly extensions that blocked and/or warned me of triggering keywords and websites, but had no luck with any of the apps or methods that I was suggested.

That was, until I found this app. When activated, it appears as a little green icon at the top of the screen while using Safari, and when tapped on gives the option to scan the webpage for triggering words. And it’s successful!

The only thing that I would suggest adding in a future update is the option to censor blocked words too. Otherwise, this app is an amazing find.

### 5/5 — Perfect for late tv watchers

*2023-01-12, version 0.3.1*

Kept me from learning the ending of white lotus 2

### 5/5 — Simple Setup

*2023-01-12, version 0.3.1*

Works great, simple setup too.

### 5/5 — Simple yet effective

*2023-01-12, version 0.3.1*

Quick and easy tutorial with an optional video if needed. Very simple to get started and I’ve found it to be very useful for avoiding spoilers and filtering content I’d rather not see
