User reviews
Absolutely awful. Didn't block a single site on my blacklist. Shame, as it's a great concept.

David Bedford, 2022-04-26Doesn't block *anything* - as others have said in their reviews, this website blocker doesn't work. It doesn't block the websites you list. It doesn't seem to do anything.

Clare Southerton, 2021-10-04Wow... Well I'm here to add to the pile of negative reviews that say this app just straight up doesn't work. Literally all it has to do, for me to leave a good review, is block Facebook and Reddit. It does not do that. Lol Y'ALL HAD ONE JOB
