Reddit feed blocker doesn't seem to be working
Most things work.
However, I was hoping this would block my home feed on Reddit, but it doesn't seem to work.
As a request, it would also be nice to block my username as I would like to keep my username hidden to those physically near me and those that can see my monitor.
Disappointed (Facebook)
My feed still continues to plague me with Community Page recommendations for garbage that I don't want to see. I'm still relegated to having to click on those posts in my feed and select "Block" - but it's an uphill battle w/ these bot posts. My feed is hammered nonstop with posts that aren't from Friends even after using this.
Good but no one seems to be able to crack FaceBook
I was so happy the developer released this, as I have been using his other app, Untrap and it is a blessing.
App seems to work well so far for most things, but unfortunately FaceBook still manages to break through with its algorythim pumping random stuff to my main feed. Been searching for an app that can defeat FaceBook for a long time now. If you ever manage to pull it off, I'll give 5 stars and go pro.
Works great but running into bug
App has been amazing for my attention and so so helpful. However I’ve been seeing an issue recently where I have to go on safari extension settings and turn on and off the extension manually for the blocks to kick in. Then it will be kicked in for a while like a few days before it somehow disables and I have to redo the process
Works great, excited for a more feature rich version but still 5 stars
I love Untrap and having a similar tool for Reddit and Facebook is a godsend. It's not quite as feature rich as Untrap, and i'm excited to see what does get added, but it's still very deserving of 5 stars

Works great, needs syncing/account management
This app is great, thank you. The ability to optionally sync between my devices and between Safari profiles would be very useful. Currently I need to manually configure 4 devices * 4 Safari profiles * 6 websites = 96 config menus to fill out. The recent update added more options while breaking previously set configurations. Expecting users to do this once, let alone after each non-backwards compatible update, is unreasonable.
Edit: The PRO subscription is essentially required if you use Safari
Can’t seem to get FaceBook part working.
Can’t seem to get FaceBook to block anything. Don’t want to see Reels or posts from people I don’t follow. Giving 2 stars because I use the devs other app for YouTube and it works great.
Sent email with screen shots of Reels showing up even though the extension is enabled and the block Reel toggle is selected.
Less Functionalities than other app.
Main gripe with this app is the the fact that I can’t schedule the times for a social media block.
