Very, very professional application. They explain clearly how to use and manage the program. Satisfied. Thanks.

So this app caught a lot of people by surprise, including myself with all of its capabilities, and that it's actually able to do all it offers— and it has a clean UI. What I appreciate most is the granular level of control that other apps don't offer—like app wise blocking vs global blocking for every URL visited and gives you complete visibility into all the traffic of each app. You have far greater control over what data goes where. It's worth paying for. Well done Pligence.

Easy to navigate and at a good price. I would have given it 5 stars, but I've been using the free version, until today, if the App keeps being smooth and keeps me safe, I'll be back to give it 5 ⭐ Well my friends as I promised here is 5 stars to you,, and we'll deserved,, worked so good I now have it also on my pad💯👍🏻🙏🏻✨😁
