Review Summary

Users find Word Blocker helpful for blocking specific words and appreciate its simple design, especially as a tool for parents to filter content. However, multiple reviews report inconsistent blocking, failure to work on platforms like YouTube, asterisks replacing blocked words without option to disable, inability to delete blocked words, and poor handling of emojis. Overall, it shows promise but requires improvements for reliability and added functionality.

  • Useful for parents to block sensitive words for children.

  • Unable to delete blocked words from the blocking list.
