It's a step in the right direction for sure. But the time it took for the pictures to actually be blocked was too slow and I used it to block spiders and it would block other things such as Spider-Man. It needs to be more fine tuned so it can block only what I need to be blocked.

Perfect for arachnophobia and similar phobias Terrible for other phobias like Tokophobia.

great idea! Useful tool. But more phobia categories required: blood, death, horror, medicine, garbage/trash, face/avatar etc.
