#blockit: Block distractions Reviews

blockit does exactly what it says it will do. Make sure you fully understand what it does. It does not block apps or anything about apps so if you are having issues with social media addiction step number one is to uninstall the apps from your phone. Step number two is to install blockit so that when you inevitably go to the site, the feed is blocked. I like that I can still participate in a couple of Facebook groups, check events and sell stuff on marketplace without getting sucked in. Great app, does what it says perfectly and what it does is exactly what I needed!

Hopefully Apple will allow Google to enable iPhone extensions on Chrome like it does for Safari, but until then blockit is perfect for what it advertises.

If you’re upset that it doesn’t work on apps too, that’s on Apple, not the developers.

Great work y’all. Love the warning about uninstalling blockit if it’s installed.

I’ve searched far and wide for an app that blocks specific things in on media site for safari. Thank you for blockit .

For those looking to get this, developers cannot make these compatible with apps, so don’t expect that. This is mostly apples fault.
If you are looking for a safari extension, this is it.

I bought this for Instagram. So I paid to get Instagram and after that it said not compatible with blockit . I then logged into my safari to give it a fair try even though that was pretty shady to not be up front with the limitations. Well, IG stories don’t flow right on Safari the way they are designed on blockit . I simply wanted to hide my explore page, which I’ve been able to do. But overall blockit is a total waste because it doesn’t have app functionality. Don’t waste your $, and cheap as it sounds, I actually want my $1 back because it annoyed me so much.

I love blockit as it works exactly as advertised. Mine has a little bug on Facebook, but I trust they will have it fixed ASAP because some of the other reviews suggest bugs happen occasionally, but they get on it. Overall, great app and it seems like there is a great team behind it.

I’ve waiting for an app to do this since Feedless was removed from blockit Store.

This actually works better and has better features.

Highly recommend if you’re trying to reduce your consumption of social media, keep your sanity, and stop binging scrolling during this dam quarantine...do yourself a favor and download blockit

can someone help me get the settings to transfer to my mac?

blockit has helped me so much with my internet addiction. It’s literally a life changer. I can’t thank you enough for making this safari extension. The world needs more app developers like you.

Basically it is ok, at blocking aps. BUT if u try to unblock sites that you blocked IT WILL MAKE U PAY TO UNBLOCK THEM!!!!!!!!! MANY DOLLARS!!!!!! Not fun NOR fresh. Basically, you need to delete it from your entire phone and then ALSO go into your web browser settings and turn off its access to your phone after you delete it. Then it takes a few hours to a day to reboot. If u get, don’t pay to unblock ads. Thank you✌️

I think this is the only feedblocker on blockit Store that blocks Instagram and Facebook feed after their new update. Thank goodness!

But it does not work for instagram feed, at least it it blocks everything else on instagram like the Explore section.

I paid 5 bucks for this and you need to fix it if so it can block Instagram feed,
Only then will I give 5 stars

I downloaded it because they said it’s free but they meant “free” as in it has no features until AFTER you pay. Then it turns out it doesn’t even work as advertised. Of course I can’t get a refund but I can come on here and hopefully stop at least one person from getting ripped off.

Thank you for creating a tool that helps other’s spend less time on social media! You are appreciated!

I downloaded blockit , but can’t block any of the websites. The toggle buttons just stay grayed out when I touch them.

All of the apps (facebook, instagram, etc) that should be blocked on safari are all still fully accessible.

Amazing app! blockit has been helpful for breaking my FB addiction

The limitation is clearly stated once you download blockit . Please be upfront about this. Otherwise you are wasting people’s time.

Rip off, can be replaced by a free app much more well developed than this called “Channel - Remove Distractions” app. Felt like I wasted money!

This is exactly what I needed! This may sound absurd but I’m addicted to playing 4-player chess at chess.com and I was getting so behind on my Uni studies. I kept telling myself, “just one more game…” I have never been the type with an addictive personality. So to find myself addicted to this one game was frustrating!

I would like to suggest a scheduling feature? I’m going to see if I can create a workaround by using iOS “Screen Time.” Maybe I can control which times of the day blockit will function and when it will not so that I can allow myself an hour or two in the afternoon or late evening or something? I still want to enjoy the game but I need help limiting my time.

Thanks again for creating blockit ! I don’t really need any of the paid features but I may purchase one anyway just to support the developer.

It doesnt work for linkedin, twitter, instagram, possibly more. Waste of money

I was suffering from screen addiction and I was constantly on YouTube. blockit helped me to block YouTube and Facebook. Works well. Thanks a lot developers!

Used to work smoothly, but it can no longer block the news feed and stories on Instagram. The explore section is unaccessible as expected.

Now I can’t get on Facebook at all

This has been a great app to curtail my doom scrolling on social media. Sufficiently blocks out the damaging algorithm based content and I can go to just those pages that I want to look at. The only update I would recommend is threads. Especially gutting the “for you” section. After the Israeli Palestinian conflict on October 7th my Threads feed took a dark turn and would love to block that.

SO excited about being able to block junk on Instagram. Was working excellently but suddenly I’ve been “restricted” from my instagram account.

Really hope I can use this, this app can you help??

Great app!! I’ve recommended it to all my friends
It would be great if it could block suggested posts on Instagram

Just updated my app and saw the developer changed from a one time purchase model to requiring a lifetime subscription. While blockit is a good idea, there are other apps on the store which do the same thing for less than blockit is now charging you for a year of use.

Please stop with the mandatory subscription models 🙏. I’m moving to a cheaper option

This developer is a doing us all a public service. Great app and I wholeheartedly support their mission.

I have been a long-time user and really appreciate the utility of blockit to reduce distractions while still being able to interact on social media. I previously paid to unlock blockit , but understand that the developer needs an income to make updates worthwhile. The $3-4 a year is totally worthwhile and justified in my opinion.

I'm disappointed to discover you've switched to subscription model for all functionality. I understand the reasoning, unfortunately, but it's left me in a bit of a lurch around finals time. Still, the rates are quite reasonable and, again, I respect that this is more on the social media sites being jerks than on blockit creator. Thank you for not discontinuing altogether.

I just paid for this thinking I can enable my home feed and disable the explore page but it doesn’t work . You can only disable both or just the home feed. Idk if they give refunds .
