## Block Distracting Websites Reviews in United States

### ***** "Simple, useful"
I’ve used this for years now to stop myself from going to Reddit, YouTube, etc in Safari. Works flawlessly every time. I prefer it to messing with Apple settings for specific sites.
-- Kirk Gale, 2026-03-24

### *---- "Didn’t work"
Didn’t block websites or apps for the timer that I set. The help screen did not help.
-- Darian311, 2025-04-27

### ***** "Great to break a"
Simple to use and a great way to break the habit of cruising websites
-- Mot170, 2024-12-19

### ****- "Helpful!"
I have used this more than any other similar app. It’s simple, easy to use and effective. I wish it had a scheduling feature so the timer feature could turn on automatically.
-- jwbmac, 2024-08-21

### *---- "Does not work"
Did not block what I wanted on Google or safari.  I want a refund.
-- Tomgreene10, 2024-07-29

### ****- "Great App with one complaint."
I believe that this app is worth the money and that I am seeing improvements in my daily routine.
But I have one great issue: the app can too easily be disabled by selecting “turn off content blockers” on safari. Additionally, you can just as easily disable the app by going to “Safari” in settings and deselecting “use content blocker on all websites.” 
I adore this blocker app, but it sadly isn’t completely on “Self Control”’s level, which was the idea and the goal.
-- P.G.D._, 2024-03-14

### ***-- "Could use an update."
It really needs a PIN code to allow changes to be made.
-- Pajama Superfly, 2023-01-07

### ***** "This app is the leading defense contractor potential app company"
The app does a great service that many companies fail to provide do to induced forces making other app program fold their principles to protect customer. Great app its must buy
-- super b 42 fan, 2023-01-03

### *---- "DOESNT WORK"
Don’t bother purchasing. Doesn’t work anymore.
-- tonygeezus, 2022-11-07

### *---- "Doesn’t seem to work"
I enabled the content blocker app in Safari and added the websites and it doesn’t seem to block the sites at all. Where can I find help to troubleshoot?
