Block Distracting Websites Reviews

Works perfectly

Chris Van Patten

The app works great, and does exactly what it says, with no fuss. I'd love to see the ability to block specific URLs (instead of just hostnames) or block URLs/hostnames by keyword patterns (although I'm not sure if the content blocker API even allows for that). Overall it still works great and I have no complaints!

Works great-- would love a timer

App does what it says and works great. I'd like to see a feature where the list of blocked sites can't be unblocked for a set amount of time.

Clean, simple and work like a charm!

Thanks to this, I can block all the distracting sites and save lots of time.

Needs timer

This app needs a timer like self control, or if it has a timer it needs to be obvious how to access it.

Perfectly fine app

You can't block a website permanently or set a white list for a period of time everyday

Would work if

Works great except you can easily go into settings and turn it off so whats the point? If it were set so you could not turn it off for a period of time - hours to months, then it would great

Great app, could use two things to make it amazing

Works well. Not sure why you can’t set the timer to 24 hours (have to do 23 hours and 45 mins) but it does mirror the feature in the well known macOS SelfControl app. Please add landscape orientation on iPad, iCloud sync, and make a macOS version. That would be incredible! Apps like these help all of us be more productive, keep it up!

no block scheduling timer

One of the screenshots on the Block Websites app listing suggests there would be a scheduled timer function (eg block websites from 9-5). This feature is absent and limits the utility of the app.

It cant work if all you need to do is press one button in safari to cancel the block!

Its really great that you can time the block but i wish it will have options for a week or even a month. Second this it doesn’t work since if i just cancel the safari option the block is off. Whats the point??
