Comments and Reviews
Great app, can block websites either on a blacklist or whitelist model, obviously made for advanced users, has a great user interface and works like wonders, i reccomend anyone to give it a try.
This app contains non-free components/libraries (Google BillingClient), app promotes or depends entirely on a non-free network service (connects to Google servers — billing, PlayStore).
The free version didn't block my Whatsapp and I got screwed because I was counting on it. I expected the blocking to leave me totally inactive, with people only receiving message confirmation on the Whatsapp server only and not on my cell phone (one checkmark), but in some cases messages arrived on my cell too (two checkmarks).
