기능은 만족하지만 데스크탑앱과 연동해서 사용해야 하고, 데스크탑 앱 사용방법이 비직관적이라 아쉽습니다. (데스크탑 앱의 자체적인 GUI가 없고 설정할려면 반드시 확장프로그램이 깔린 인터넷 브라우저를 사용해야 합니다.) 그리고 이 프로그램의 UI가 생각보다 불편해서.. 이것저것 많이 읽어보고 시도해봐야하는 경우가 많습니다. 다만 이는 좀 섬세하게 조정하고 싶은 경우이고, 그냥 즉시 차단하는 기능도 제공합니다. (일명 '킬스위치'기능) 다만 그냥 그것만 원하면 굳이 구독제를 구매하지 않고 다른 확장 프로그램을 사용해볼수도 있습니다.

It works nicely and serves me perfectly! Got the Forever plan! Honestly it's sometimes frustrating to not be able to waste my time, but that's the price of freedom :D Recommend!
