BlockSite: Block Apps & Focus

It’s good at blocking websites, but it does that by messing with your VPN settings. Very hard to switch off — except when you need to access the websites that you blocked. You can easily do that, but turning off the VPN when you’re not even on the internet is a whole quest in settings. Unfortunately, it drains my battery and messes with Google maps because of that. Additionally, I paid for a subscription, had to uninstall the app because I couldn’t walk to my destination without maps, and when I installed it back in the evening, it forgot that I paid for it and erased my subscription. That’s only 159 lira, around 8 bucks, but still unpleasant. Thanks, I’ll keep using my willpower instead of a sketchy app.

Honestly it’s a great app but the only downside is that you can’t set up passwords without the unlimited package. But beside that everything is great.

I just want to keep myself from getting on reddit on my phone. At first, this app was great - it blocked me every time I typed it in my browser (DuckDuckGo). Then after a week or so, I can get on the website again no problem. I double checked, and the app still says it's actively blocking. Disappointing.

Works great tested out on safari works every time also works on apps

I’m someone with porn addiction, and I’ve been trying a way to fix this problem so I decided to get this, and the app works well. However, I can just turn this off at any time, and how will that help my addiction? I wish there was something similar to a code, so I can enter the settings, instead of accessing it with no problem. But yeah, that’s just my opinion, if I’m wrong about anything please tell me.

I am so fortunate for this app. I am a teenager who struggles with porn addiction. The free version lets you block 5 sites. One of the sites I chose was the entire adult content section. It works extremely well. The only downside is that you can still save images. To the developers: please always keep a free plan. So many children and adults struggle with addiction to pornography. And it will always be at the forefront. So continue ig to have an easy way for people to access free technology support for this issue is a miracle in this profit driven world. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU! I cried when I tried to search and it was blocked. To those who struggle: you can do it. Make a plan and take action! There is no better day to create positive change in your life than today! I believe in you, and I believe that there is still hope for good in this community. Thank you BlockSite.

It didn’t used to be like this, but suddenly using BlockSite prevented me from using my MyMazda app. So if I want to warm my car up early because of frost, I have to turn off BlockSite. Sometimes I forget to turn it back on, leading to many lost hours.

I used this for quite some time before I upgraded to the paid version, a mistake. I upgraded almost solely for the password feature and it doesn’t work. I can still access the sites without a prompt for the password. So I requested a refund and it was denied with the only way to get my money back would be to file a chargeback with my bank which would cause me to lose access to my Apple ID. I found another similar app that works better and their free version suffices so I basically paid for something that doesn’t work. Additionally, this app causes some unblocked websites to crash and certain unblocked apps to not work properly. Those issues went away when I deleted the app.

If you’re someone like me and you need something to help you focus this app won’t be it. The app does block websites and keywords and even allows a password function that claims to disallow any changes to be made to the websites you’ve added to the list. However as the title suggest, the way to get around it is to toggle off the block website and you are back to square one. This app would be stellar if the password feature also prevented you from turning off the toggle without typing in the aforementioned password. If this change cannot be implemented, then the strength of app is as strong as your willpower and seeing you’re in the market for an app that will exert the willpower for you, then I would move on and find another app.

I got it because I’m on my phone a lot and I wanted to change that so I got this app. Did what I told you to do first of all you can’t change how long the app is gone for so you can use it the whole day unless you get a suspicion second of all because of that I deleted the app I still can’t open the apps I blocked do not get this app!! I would rated zero stars if I could
