1. 4/5Exactly what I was looking for

   This app is exactly what I was looking for in a firewall/VPN application. The only reason I don’t give it 5 stars is because I would love to see it have the capability of blocking somewhat explicit images across applications as well (such as instagram). I tested this software out, and after playing around with it I found that by enabling blocking of Facebook apps (found in the block list) it even blocked access to explicit sites within Meta’s privately developed browser that is innate to its apps. This is a huge game changer worth the small price tag. If the developers of this app truly read feedback and try to incorporate it into making the app better, please, please, please incorporate the ability to block somewhat explicit (or suggestive) images. I know it may boil down to self control, but I also am aware that unwanted ads on instagram that have suggestive themes based on very little clothing can cause a hang up for some; thus, the suggestion. Otherwise, keep up the amazing work!

2. 4/5Seems great

   This app seems to do exactly what I would hope for. It does a fantastic job blocking unwanted content across all apps. The only issue is that after a few hours it will block all access to the internet until you pay for the pro version. The app itself offers a free upgrade if you leave a review - I'll find out soon if this is true. Note that the app can be deleted unless you set the restriction settings on the phone to prevent the user from deleting apps. **UPDATE** My app was upgraded to pro after writing this review. I assume this is a limited time offer, but it's very much appreciated. Filter works like a charm!

3. 2/5Works….. kinda

   So I don’t need a lot of the pay services and I don’t mean just from this app really from any of the blocking apps. I understand that that’s how app developers make money to continue to maintain their apps or create better products or whatever, but in this instance, I literally just don’t want to be able to go to or view any pornography. This is for myself it’s for my children if they happen to get a hold of my phone, I just don’t want it around me. This app does a good job of that. I am not able to the problem is I can’t even go to a counseling website I’ve been trying to research Christian counselors and it will not let me go to those websites to find them. This is ridiculous. You need to allow your users more. I should be able to say this site was just blocked stop blocking it. It should be a simple as that I’ve tried listing using exact web page addresses, and it does not work. I really want to keep using this but I don’t know if I’m going to be able to.

4. 5/5So far so good

   Love the user face friendly design. Tutorial is a nice touch as well. I like the sincerity put into this application. I can tell your team is Not seeking profits but to genuinely help humanity. Almost all the features are for free especially the most important one… porn blocking! This actually enticed me to check the premium package and its so affordable. I appreciate your team for your work and sincerity. It was hard to find an affordable porn blocker with at least the bare minimum to block porn before asking for any monies! You guys fulfilled this grand service offering lifetime premium memberships for such an affordable price anyone can pay for towards change & you guys did all without stripping away the necessary value needed for people seeking real self help. I can tell the team on this one is dedicated to the people and i am a fan now! Thank you! 🙏

5. 3/5Pretty Great App with one major flaw

   Tested the app out and I have to admit that it works amazingly well. It's well worth far more than $2 for its service. It is able to do what no other apple iPhone app has been able to do and that is block porn across the whole device of your phone. This closes several loopholes that can be used to get around the apple restrictions via a VPN. However this is also the problem. It's not that it doesn't work well, it does. But first, the developer of this app has no functioning website and no information that I could see regarding how the developer will use or store your information which is going through the monitored VPN. The developer is probably amazing and trustworthy, but at the end of the day if I'm purchasing goods, putting on passwords, etc. over this vpn how secure is the information. Second, and here is the major flaw, this app can be turned off by merely clicking reset network settings on your phone. The VPN is then shut down and you can once again view whatever objectionable material you are trying to keep yourself or your child from viewing. I guess I would give this app 5 stars and recommend it to everyone if I could get/see more information online about it's product's security as well as close the network reset loophole. Definitely take a look at this app though. I'm shocked other developers haven't gone the VPN rout as well. I hope I can give this app a 5 star review in the near future, I really do. It has such great promise as being the very best filtering app in existence if just those these two things can be completed. I would easily pay far far more than $2 for for this app.
