Latest reviews

(2025-06-17) Marianne Page: I was initially looking for an app to block certain websites on a schedule. And I liked the idea of this app because I was hoping I could also use it to keep me aware of how much time I was spending on websites by giving me a warning if I spent over a certain amount of time, but it doesn’t seem to be tracking my time on URLs correctly. Also, I just tested again, and my first blocking period of the night wouldn’t activate until I deactivated a later one. I just turned the second one back on and now the first one is still active, but it seems like there’s something buggy with it. If some of the bugs were worked out and other suggestions implemented, I think I’d like it, but for now I will probably look for something else.
