Reviews: What People Think About Block Distracting Websites
P.G.D._
Rating: 4/5
I believe that this app is worth the money and that I am seeing improvements in my daily routine.
But I have one great issue: the app can too easily be disabled by selecting “turn off content blockers” on safari. Additionally, you can just as easily disable the app by going to “Safari” in settings and deselecting “use content blocker on all websites.”
I adore this blocker app, but it sadly isn’t completely on “Self Control”’s level, which was the idea and the goal.

Works well. Not sure why you can’t set the timer to 24 hours (have to do 23 hours and 45 mins) but it does mirror the feature in the well known macOS SelfControl app. Please add landscape orientation on iPad, iCloud sync, and make a macOS version. That would be incredible!
Apps like these help all of us be more productive, keep it up!

List the sites you want to block, or an asterisk to block them all, say “block,” and set the timer. Boom, I can’t be distracted by Facebook or Reddit or other gremlins.
I had a question and emailed the developer, who responded the next day and was helpful.
The only other blocking apps I found were much more elaborate, do other things, and charge annual fees. This does what I need for a few bucks.
