I am questioning if this works. I have all countries besides US blocked and also VPN blocked becaue I was getting alot of fake email subscribers. Well now I am getting many successful and unsuccessful orders from these blocked countries. It is obvious they are running credit cards to see which work and some of the orders go through and some are declined. When checking the transaction gateway details in the Shopify order page, it shows the country the order was placed from (Russia, Malaysia, Algeria, etc). I then have to cancel these fraudulent orders however I still have to pay the credit card processing fees as those are non-refundable. Therefore, Blocky is not doing it's job at blocking these countries. Perhaps the bots used are too fast for the Blocky app to trigger a block. I have contacted customer support and was told the development team would get back to me and they never did. So I will be cancelling.
Hi there, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We value every review, as it helps us continue improving Blocky for our users. I’m sorry for the delay in communication. There was a misunderstanding on our side regarding your access request—we weren’t aware it had been accepted shortly after submission—and with the holiday weekend, our response was slower than it should have been. Blocky was built to help stores strengthen their security and reduce fraud and scams, and we remain fully committed to that mission. I’ve also reached out to you directly via email, as we’d love the opportunity to personally investigate and resolve the issue you reported. –Shahar

Uninstalled same day. Each feature I wanted required an upgrade - and additional cost.
Hi there, Thank you so much for your review of our Blocky app - we genuinely appreciate all feedback. Just to clarify, our app’s subscription plans are listed on the app’s listing page in the App Store. Blocky’s most popular feature, the Country Blocker, is included in the Basic plan. I’ve also reached out to you privately via email to better understand which specific feature you were expecting in the Basic plan. We’re always happy to hear user suggestions and explore ways to improve. Wishing you continued success with your store - and hope you have a wonderful rest of your day! :) Best regards, Shahar

I manually track and investigate traffic activity when customers download freebies from my site to weed out bots. When I first installed the app I quickly began blocking bot IP addresses and yesterday an IP that I thought was blocked was able to get through and download another free product. The blocker DID NOT DO ITS JOB. if you use this software make sure you manually track and investigate customer profiles. Btw, the software isn't very effective if you're not getting the Pro Plan, you're pretty much forced to get it.
Hi there, Thank you for your feedback—we truly appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. We’re sorry to hear that you ran into an issue with IP blocking. Our team takes these reports very seriously, and we would have appreciated the opportunity to investigate and resolve the issue. Unfortunately, we haven’t heard back from you yet. There are several factors that can affect how blocking behaves—such as app or Sales Channels conflicts, dynamic IP changes, or specific configuration settings. We’ve already submitted a collaborator access request to your store so we can take a closer look. If you’re open to it, we’d be happy to investigate thoroughly and ensure everything is working as expected. We’re here to help and fully committed to making Blocky a reliable security tool for your store. Best regards, Shahar

does not block VPNs
Hi, Thank you for sharing your feedback and leaving a review. We genuinely value all feedback—both positive and negative—as it helps us improve and better serve our users. I noticed you mentioned that the app didn’t block VPNs, and I’d love to clarify and assist. Did you enable the "Bot Killer" feature and test it by accessing your store through an incognito browser session? If you tested while logged in as the store admin, it’s expected that the app wouldn’t block you—Blocky is designed never to block the store's admin, regardless of their origin country or connection type. I’ve reached out to you privately via email to address this, but I haven’t heard back yet. I’d love the chance to connect and help resolve this for you. Looking forward to your reply! 😊 Best regards, Shahar

Do Not USE this app.... incredibly below awful not even average app. So may better apps for cheaper on shopify. The support was so useless and rude then left my store open to multiple attacks, do to the underperformance of the "bot" as well as the design in software. Do yourself a favor and don't use this beyond useless app, with incredibly rude and awful support.

Uttery useless. Took me less than 5 minutes to defeat. This app will only block honest customers.

Did you test Blocky while logged in as the admin of your store? As you may know, Blocky is designed not to impede store admins, ensuring smooth functionality. It's possible that this influenced your experience. I've contacted you via email and I am eagerly await your response. Thank you once again for sharing your thoughts, and I wish you a fantastic week ahead! :-) -Shahar

there's no free plan option as advertised. the app automatically took me to a screen to approve a $3.99 basic plan. When I exited out & came back I was still unable to find any free plan just a 7 day free *trial* **Update: After posting this review I immediately received MULTIPLE emails in less than 1 hour stating the company emailed me but didn't hear back. They are coming off as being very aggressive & I'm uncomfortable.
Hi, Thanks a lot for your review on our app. Reviews such as yours help us improve the app for the sake of all Shopify merchants! :) We were very sorry to see that you have left us a 1-star review without reaching out to our support team first via email or the live chat button that also appears in the app's dashboard - as we would have helped you immediately. We saw that you had a misunderstanding about Blocky's pricing plans - The "Pay-as-you-go" plan is free for the first 99 visitors that visit your store and then it's 20 cents for every additional 100 unique visitors that visit your store. All of Blocky's pricing plan are clearly described in the app's listing page on the awesome Shopify App Store. We tried to contact you via email but never heard back. Thanks again and have a great rest of the day! :-)
