Wish it had Quick Whitelist feature

App works very well, I just wish I had the ability to quickly whitelist sites instead of having to go through the app and whitelist it manually every time I set a rule. If it had that,I think this app would be a perfect and quick solution for its users!

Developer Response ,

Thank you for the review and feedback. The feature will hopefully be available in one of the future releases.

Powerful IF you know how to use it

I wanted a content blocker that could eliminate annoying modals (popup elements that do not move with scrolling) on some websites I like to frequent, all without needing full website access. Roadblock custom rules lets me do this! My only concern is the difficulty to use this feature. Fortunately I have experience with some lesser content blockers (and browser developer modes and javascript) so I knew to write “[class^=modal]” in the Hide Content “selector” rule, otherwise figuring out how to block would have been impossible. The online guide has almost nothing to say about how to figure out what to write in the “selector” section. Some instructions and a few examples would be helpful here! Otherwise, your app is small, sleek, syncs, and well worth the $2 for custom rules and a privacy-respecting design. Thank you!

Developer Response ,

Thanks a lot for the review and feedback. We will improve the user guide and add more examples. New features that will make it easier to deal with CSS selectors will hopefully be released in the near future.

It blocks videos!

Nothing could be found anywhere that allows for automatically downloading and automatically playing videos to be blocked. It was as if the app store is in cahoots with the large telecoms so that they can hook everybody on their useless overpriced 'unlimited' plans. Just two or three news related websites (yes the mobile versions!) would end up costing me over 150mb in data alone. With blocking video, it reduces that data usage down to under 3mb. Its a life savor if you are on a pay-as-you-go plan and do knot want to spend money on a useless 'unlimited' plan that inly gets throttled, anyway. The one time fee for this feature in the app will pay for itself very quickly.
