If you want your kids to hate you.. USE!
Use it if you want to ruin kids lives like this is so bad. And my school literally banned YouTube now! Like at this point the only place you can go on your computer is google- But they will probably block googling sooner or later.

Deserve to get bankrupt.
Smoothwall is the worst company ever. I literally want to sue them. They block educational websites, and literally EVERYTHING. They ruined our free time. They're just like "Look at me, I'm being ethical! Now give me more money!" They don't even block inappropriate websites, just other random things. Even sites that we were allowed to use and had no problem. If there is a teacher reading this, I promise you, "DO NOT USE THIS, AT ALL COSTS." Magnum was blocked, because "There was a chance it was a weapon!" Tree was blocked, because "You can buy trees, and children are somehow gonna order something online." And Mickey Mouse was blocked because "Humour And Distractions." Do they actually think at this day in age, children think that's funny, just because they watched those cartoons when they were young. The real dystopian is Smoothwall. You have no freedom to do anything, even education. If anyone working for the company is reading this, you need to deal with this now, if it keeps going this way, people actually have to take legal action, because your a scam. Children aren't stupid, remember that.
Curse you, Smoothwall. You destroyed everything.
0/10 absolutely horrendous

Very Dodgy
Although I hate Smoothwall for blocking alot of stuff, including pointless stuff, thats not why I’m writing this review because I want it to be unbiased. My issue is that it is incredibly dodgy. It takes ages to load, infact sometimes it doesnt even load stuff at all. Its really glitchy as well.

True Review
The app is good for blocking unwanted stuff, yes. But I hate it, because when I'm doing the game research for my schoolwork, Smoothwall still blocks the official websites with pictures or words about games even though I didn't even try to play that game! As a student, I say it's a horrible app!
FEMBOYS!!!!!!!
one day i was looking up the most humble of topics: 'femboys' but to my utter horror i saw the spirit of diddy floating through the window, then i saw the blue screen of smoothwall then my whole family died and my femboy bf left me!! (100% deserved) i was trying to cheat
trash
it blocks mario and scratch but somehow doesnt block a shopping website. HOW?!
