Gertrude Blocker

Thank you for making an app that makes sense and meeting a need that no one else has met yet. Gertrude addresses the most aggravating issues I had with ScreenTime, like how to give my kids access to Messages without also handing them open access to #images, a database of gifs for an adult audience. It has allowed me to give my kids the benefits of the iPad with much greater peace of mind. I am so thankful for this and hope you are able to keep updating Gertrude as ongoing software updates roll out potential new issues that Gertrude can address.

It works and is easy to set up. Wish Apple restrictions didn’t limit it to certain devices on family plan, but that’s Apple’s fault and not Gertrude’s. Get this app and use it - Apple should have built all of these capabilities into ScreenTime, tbh, but they didn’t so kudos to Gertrude for making this and for making it free. Highly recommend!

This app is meeting a great need since Apple has not allowed parents to properly protect their children. Thank you Gertrude Blocker. With the latest iOS updates, parents can no longer disable the gif images in texting. This app allows parents to decide if their child is not ready for that feature yet, and disable new images from loading. I wish past images could be unloaded easily with the app as well, but I greatly appreciate the protection from seeing future images. Thank you.
