### 3/5 — Just Starting To Use This

*2025-07-05*

So far, it’s doing exactly what I want it to. The only complaints I have is that the built-in browser could use a homepage button and a setting to set the homepage, plus there’s no ability to make it the default browser. Although there’s a clear history function in the settings, (tap on the gear in the upper right corner) it would be useful to be able to make multiple selections in the history section next to the bookmarks. If I could have a homepage setting and a button to go to it in the browser, it would work better, also please give it the ability to be set as default. Honestly, if this app could be turned into an extension for Safari, I’d truly consider making a one time payment to have that!

**Developer response:** Thank you for your thoughtful feedback—we’re glad the app is working well for you so far! You can now set Website Blocker as your default browser in Settings, and we’ll consider your suggestions for a homepage, improved history selection, and Safari extension support.

### 1/5 — Janky app

*2025-01-31*

Would not recommend. Developers built their own browser that is borderline functional, and only blocks if an exact match of the full words are found , e.g. “tree” does not block “trees”. I couldn’t get the search function to work at all.

**Developer response:** We’re sorry the app didn’t meet your expectations. Thank you for pointing out the keyword matching and search issues—we’ll review them to improve the browsing experience.

### 1/5 — 0 stars

*2022-06-27*

There are just too many ads

### 1/5 — Don’t get this app

*2021-04-10*

Even when I downloaded this app I still managed to find porn. I 100% do not recommend. God bless you all and have a very nice day.

### 1/5 — Do not get

*2021-03-16*

Well it does not protect you unless you type in porn. If you are looking for ways to block porn this should not be the one to use unless you type in porn to see it. Even if you type in something like how to battle porn it blocks it saying it contains porn. You could also bypass it by going to another browser. It also blocks violence. It’s only going to block it if u type in violence which normal people do not do. 

If you want to see let’s say a scene from an R rated war movie you are not going to type in violence. So do not use if your purpose is to make sure your children do not watch gore it won’t work. I understand it’s free but it does nothing. It could come in handy if you are only going to use their app to search things and type in what they regulate. I deleted this app like two minutes after I got it because it does nothing. It also asks if you want to continue if you type in a word in the key word. How is that supposed to stop you it won’t l.

### 1/5 — Crashes constantly

*2020-07-10*

After you have typed in all of the things you want blocked it will all of the sudden be blank. A complete waste of time

### 1/5 — Useless

*2019-08-19*

It was really slow. It wouldn’t load images but it made sure that ads came up. While google images were loading the same ad popped up 5 times within 20 seconds. I understand this is free but it was extremely annoying. Deleted right away.

### 3/5 — Good app. But needs to be faster uploading site

*2018-12-13*

The last part of a site takes 10 seconds to load

### 1/5 — Can't search anything

*2017-03-15*

So the app seems great and usable but when you search ANYTHING it will go to google, then the google search screen will go grey, and will start buffering. I waited for over half an hour just to see when it would actually show me what I was searching for. Keep in mind that I was searching for information about dogs and whatnot, not anything that would have been blocked by the blocker. So unless you want to wait 45 minutes every time you search something, don't get this app. Great idea, terrible execution of the idea.

### 5/5 — Best app EVER

*2016-12-26*

This app helps a lot cause this inappropriate website pops up on my phone and I try to delete the page but it still pops up and this app help I download it and the website came up and it said website blocked
