Did absolutely nothing - a bot spammed my site for months with fake accounts and this app had zero capability of stopping. Do not waste your money.

Hi there, Thank you for your review! Every review helps us improve for the benefit of our merchants and we sincerely appreciate that. :-) Following your chat with our support team, we released a Signup Bot Blocker that checks customer accounts as they are created. It went live shortly before you uninstalled, so we have not had the chance to test it on your store yet. Our team has reached out to you privately but still haven’t heard back 🙏 Looking forward to your reply! Best regards, Effective Apps Team
Great company to work with - super responsive. And the app works great too. Bot attacks used to be a nightmare!
I have been using for a awhile to block orders from certain countries and it works perfectly for that purpose! Thank you so much!
Great app - used to block suspicious traffic that may have ran up our ad spend! Recomended.
been using for a few years , very responsive to communication , well priced , would certainly recommend
After initial issues of my own misunderstanding the app seems to be running well and working. Hopes this stops some chargebacks I incurred in the last month. It's sad we must use software to protect our own interests but that's the world we live in I guess. Recommend the App for anyone selling on a e-commerce platform.

Hello, Thank you for your review - every review helps us improve for the benefit of our merchants. The Basic Plan is designed to give store owners a solid starting point, including country blocking with no limit on how many countries you add. The features available on the more advanced plans require significantly more backend resources on our end in order to block accurately, which is what keeps the Basic Plan sustainable for everyone. We also offer a discounted annual plan, plus a 7-day free trial so you can test everything before committing. If you'd like to talk through what you're trying to achieve, our support team is always happy to help find the right setup for you. Thanks again! :-) Best regards, Saad | Effective Apps Team
Sofar so good, I just set this app up and its the quickest app I've ever used on shopify. No problems at all. Kamran verified me in less than one minute. Thanks for making this easy.
Muhammad, was very quick to answer my question also tested block for me. Thanks again!
Fast answer! Effective app!
good app helpful
I am so happy we installed Blocky Fraud Filter. We were getting so much foreign bot traffic that it was affecting our stats. I appreciate the fact that I can block a person that has made attempts to fraud us in the past. There tech support is also amazing. You get a response right away and they are always very helpful. I highly recommend them.
Excellent App. The service I have received is amazing when I have run into issues with credit card testing. Once we enabled some settings I didn't have on and it stopped. Very responsive also.
Very useful product to block bots. Responsive customer service.
New customer. Kamran was very helpful with assisting me to get set up.
Blocky has blocked over 4800 hits to my website. I am happy with the peace of mind this app provides. Plus the customer service is quick and efficient. No need to look anywhere else.
We were with another app that was supposed to help block bots, and they were charging $139/month. For the top level on this app, it's that per year. Plus WAY BETTER customer service. They were live. The other app couldn't get us a response until the next day. We were having issues with bots placing hundreds of orders every day. Some of the settings weren't preventing this, so I chatted in. Their devs got on it, and we haven't had a bot order since. Well worth the money.
I installed this app specifically to stop repeated fraudulent orders from the same person, who keeps using a VPN/proxy to get around blocks. I added their exact full name and their shipping address to the blocklist, expecting checkout to be stopped that is the entire point of the app. It didn't work. Today another order came through from the exact same blocked name and the exact same blocked address. So the core feature — blocking a checkout based on the rules I set — is clearly not reliable. If the blocklist can't even catch an identical full name and address that I manually entered, I don't see what I'm paying for. I'd think twice before relying on this for any real fraud prevention.

Hi there, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We genuinely appreciate your input, as it helps us improve Blocky for the benefit of our users! We are sorry to hear you encountered an issue with the Full Name Blocker. We noticed you reached out to our support team over the weekend, and we regret that we missed the chance to help you right away while our team was away. Often, these types of blocking issues are quick adjustments caused by a minor overlap with another app or a specific checkout configuration. Because we prioritize your customers' checkout journeys, Blocky is designed to be extremely careful and will only block a session when it is absolutely certain. We would love the opportunity to make this right for you. If you are open to giving us another try and reinstalling the app, one of our Customer Success team members will personally work with you and perform manual tests on your store to ensure everything runs perfectly. Please feel free to reach back out to our support team - we have sent you a private email and are waiting for your reply! :-) Best regards, The Effective Apps Team
OK, let me do something besides mulitple reviews though. Just setting it up!
So far after a short period of time it seems to be doing what was ask.
Great app with many options and easy to understand. Totally shields you from unwanted traffic and harm.
It actually prevents fraudulent quote requests from bots!
The app is easy to install and set up is fairly smooth. The customer support is extremely quick, efficient and friendly, no waiting around for someone to answer and they are very knowledgable.
So far, so good! Easy setup also! I received a request to help get the setups going before I was fully installed also!
So far, my experience has been positive. It was easy to install and set up.
The app works well and give you real time data. The customer service help center is amazing and explains in depth on how to help you secure your store and runs tests for you to verify the app is really working.
Doesnt work. I have the country blocker on and set to China, and my number one visitor but a massive margin is, China. Obviously this app doesnt work as described. I thought it used to work when I got it a while back, but at some point, it stopped and my intellectual property is likely being stolen as I never have any orders come from China. There are other apps that Im working with now that seem to actually work, and cost less.
Setting up the blocker to block all non-US countries was super easy! That was my main goal. I continued to work on chat with the rep asking him to help me enable absolutely everything else I need and he did just that! Then ran a test to show me that the app was working just as I wanted. I'm still in the free trial but see no reason not to continue with it after the trial is over!
Their support was quick and professional, got me on track with the setup.
Great app. It's blocked more than 5000 bots to my shop in less than a week.
I haven't had any but traffic from Lithuania for aw really hile
