New Release Preview – Bloqer Android Internet Filter for GSM Smartphones
We are creating a new release of Bloqer Internet Filter for GSM Smartphones.
We are basing our releases on feedback from users. There seems to be some confusion on what is being blocked. People have been expecting Bloqer to search content, and block the keywords from content. I realize our instructions state it blocks by keywords in the web title or URL, but we also realize that apps need to be more self explanatory, as we are all pressed for time. We do have a lot of instructional tutorials on this website, if you are interested, however.
So, for the new release we are including the following feature:
The areas that are blocked can be selected. For example, you can select to block web titles, web URLS, content, or all. That way, it is clearly demonstrated exactly how the blocking works.
We are intending Bloqer to be a platform for bigger things. So the more feedback we get, the more ideas we have so this application can better serve. So, please, if you have ideas, we would like to hear them.
Help us make Bloqer better
We need to address the Android Market comments.
Bloqer is a free Android App. Please help us make it better! Let’s work constructively together. If you can supply us with what you want, we can add it if it’s technically possible. Or we can make that feature more clear, or easier to use. Instead of running to add “one star” or “negative comments”, please send us an email, and we will answer it. And you may even see your idea incorporated into the software.
Look, we know that a blocking application isn’t a “warm and fuzzy” like Angry Bird, or a fun game for entertainment that is easy to rate because it makes you happy. We also know that a blocking application may be technical, and not just plug and play. There is a little bit of configuration. We tried to avoid it, and we will work to eliminate the configuration, but for now, with the way Android is constructed, there is still a little bit to do.
For this, we have about 15 short videos. We will make more, with some better audio to explain things.
And, by all means, if Bloqer is already working well for you, please leave some good feedback! We like positive feedback!
