Truly a excellent app. Does exactly as described and blocks phone/wifi data's connection to selected apps. May purchase pro soon if all goes well on a longer test run. Would be nice to be able to block as many apps as desired. But its limited on how many can be selected. Kyocera Hydro 4.0.4 (rooted)

Litarally every time I try to tap on the tick wifi block box the menu gets moved to a different place. Looks to me like the scrolling bar is too close to the buttons. This makes it almost useless for blocking selected wifi using apps. Otherwise it would be a great app. I would seriousy consider buying it if not for this.

Simple test. I block You Tube with this app and apply rule. You Tube runs normally. I block it with Dr Web, You Tube does not run. Update, now it just says device has no root. Charging for failure is malicious.

Rooted Verizon note 3. Can't block Internet access to tap titans but I can turn on airplane mode and play just fine. Interesting as I assumed this app would make my phone think it was in airplane mode.

I'm not able to check or uncheck the WiFi option as it is overlapped with scrollbar. Kindly modify it. I'm thinking to buy the premium version from a long time but I'm not buying due to this UI issue. Please modify your app UI to make it work with Lollipop.

More details
☆ Block Internet access for any apps:
One can select to block a selected application or applications, application running as root. Since it blocks Internet access per application ID (UID in regular Linux system), several applications may be assigned the same ID, you should block all of them or nothing.

☆ Separate 3G and WiFi data
For each application, you can select to block Internet access via either 3G or WiFi channel. It’ s extremely helpful if you don’t have an unlimited data plan. It saves you from over-billing because of background application accessing Internet such as Google+, Google Play or Amazon Music.

☆ One-click widget enabled
One-click widget is the easiest way to toggle blocking status. It’s useful when you don’t want to use data connection and occasionally turn it on for a while.

☆ Test blocked app in a touch
Once you block an app, tap on it to see if the application can access to Internet or not.
