User reviews

BlockSite is appreciated for effectively blocking distracting sites and helping users stay focused, with good design and useful features like word blocking and site redirects. However, many users criticize the severe limitations in the free version allowing only three sites to be blocked, forcing costly subscriptions. Additionally, intrusive permission requests, glitches, and privacy concerns cause dissatisfaction. These issues have led to mixed reviews, with users noting its usefulness but feeling the recent monetization strategy and user experience degrade overall value.
