App worked very well for me when I was going through a disastrous breakage. It helped me block my ex from all his crazy emails and threats. If you are going through something like that or someone is driving you crazy with emails then I would definitely recommend the app. Customer service also great I had some technical issues when I subscribed and they fixed it immediately. Overall, worth every dime
