Expressive DeZien review for Blockify Fraud Filter, Blocker

Dec. 9, 2025

One star. I engaged with two support agents, Lina and later Florence. Lina stopped responding for extended periods, resulting in a chat that lasted nearly an hour solely because of prolonged response times. The issue itself was not complex, but the lack of timely communication made it impossible to proceed. By the time Florence intervened, I was already preparing to exit due to the delays. Lina made several statements that were incorrect, contradictory, and misleading. She stated that the bots “won’t hurt anything,” despite the fact that they were actively affecting my analytics and abandoned checkout data. She also stated that “blocking is not foolproof” and the app may or may not work because bots can change their IP addresses. This directly undermines the fundamental purpose of a security and bot-prevention solution. Her claim that the free plan is primarily for “exploring” features rather than actually using them contradicts the way the app is marketed and creates a misleading expectation for new users. Florence later reiterated the same limitations and added that DNS-level blocking, a critical security function, is still “in testing” and not available. This indicates that essential protection mechanisms are incomplete or not fully operational, regardless of whether a merchant is on a free or paid plan. For a security-focused app, this represents a significant reliability concern. After uninstalling the app, I immediately received back-to-back emails from Florence containing shifting explanations. Additionally, within thirty minutes of the initial installation, I was already receiving promotional emails from Blockify. The frequency, timing, and volume of these emails felt excessive and spam-like. As a small business owner, this experience was profoundly disappointing. Security tools must be dependable, transparent, and functional upon installation. Hearing directly from support that the app is “not foolproof” and may or may not work—even on paid tiers—raises serious concerns about reliability, consistency, and product readiness. Anything less than stable, predictable performance becomes a costly waste of time and resources. I strongly encourage prospective users to review the one-star feedback as well as comments from long-term users who have relied on this app for over a year. The recurring themes in those reviews reflect the same support, performance, and reliability issues I encountered.
