What is Blocksite
Overview
BlockSite is a website and app blocker designed to help users reduce distractions and improve focus across devices. It offers browser extensions and mobile apps with free and paid tiers.
Where it runs
BlockSite is available as an Android app via Google Play, an iOS app via the App Store, and as browser extensions or a web account (payments via Stripe or PayPal). Features vary by plan and platform.
How to cancel Blocksite
Android (Google Play) - step-by-step
- Open Google Play on your Android device.
- Tap your profile icon, then go to Payments & Subscriptions → Subscriptions.
- Select BlockSite from the list, then tap Cancel subscription and follow prompts.
iOS (App Store) and Apple subscriptions - step-by-step
- Open Settings on your iPhone or iPad and tap your name at the top.
- Tap Subscriptions, find BlockSite, then tap Cancel Subscription and confirm.
- Note: refunds for App Store purchases must be requested through Apple; BlockSite cannot process Apple refunds.
Browser extension / Web (Stripe or PayPal) - step-by-step
- Log in to your account at user.blocksite.co.
- Go to Settings or Subscription, locate your active subscription, and click “Cancel Subscription”.
- If you paid via PayPal or Stripe, you can also cancel recurring payments in your payment provider account.
What happens when you cancel
Access after cancellation
When you cancel, your subscription will generally remain active until the end of the current paid period. You will not be charged again if cancellation completes successfully.
Renewals and billing
Auto-renewal stops after cancellation, but you should check your payment provider to confirm there are no further recurring charges. Retain receipts for verification.
Data and account state
Cancelling a subscription does not necessarily delete your BlockSite account or saved settings. If you want data removed, contact support or follow account deletion steps in your account settings.
Will I get a refund?
BlockSite refund policy (general)
BlockSite’s stated policy is that subscription fees are non-refundable and there are no refunds for partial subscription periods. This applies across platforms, subject to applicable law.
Platform-specific exceptions
iOS/App Store purchases: refunds are managed by Apple. BlockSite cannot process Apple refunds and directs users to Apple’s refund process.
Possible discretionary refunds
- In special cases (accidental renewal, technical issues) refunds may be considered at BlockSite’s discretion.
- Often these are mediated via the platform (Apple/Google) or the payment processor.

Your consumer rights in New Zealand
Relevant statutes
New Zealand’s Consumer Guarantees Act and Fair Trading Act provide protections for consumers of digital goods and services. These laws may override contractual “no-refund” clauses in some cases.
When law may help you
- If the service is faulty, not as described, or misleadingly sold, you may have rights to remedies despite BlockSite’s stated policy.
- If auto-renewal was not properly disclosed, you may challenge charges under the Fair Trading Act.
Practical steps for NZ consumers
You can request a refund or fix from the seller, seek a chargeback through your bank or card provider, or lodge a complaint with the Commerce Commission if you suspect unfair conduct.
Customer experiences
Positive feedback
Some users report BlockSite effectively reduces distractions and helps with study or work focus. Early adopters with lifetime plans say it worked across devices.
Negative feedback
Several reviews cite difficulty obtaining refunds, charges after cancellation, and unresponsive customer support. Some customers reported needing to dispute charges with their bank.
What this means for you
- Keep records of cancellations and receipts to help resolve disputes.
- If you encounter problems, escalate through the payment provider or consumer authorities in NZ.
Documentation checklist
Before you contact support
- Proof of purchase (receipt from App Store, Google Play, PayPal, or Stripe).
- Account email or username used with BlockSite.
- Subscription ID or transaction ID if available.
When filing a dispute or complaint
- Screenshots of subscription status and cancellation confirmation.
- Any correspondence with BlockSite support or platform support.
- Bank or card statements showing the charge if you plan a chargeback.
Common mistakes
Assuming cancellation is automatic
Many users assume uninstalling the app cancels a subscription. Uninstalling does not stop billing; you must cancel through the store or account portal.
Not checking the correct platform
If you subscribed via Apple, Google Play, or PayPal/Stripe, you must cancel with that platform. Cancelling on one platform does not cancel a subscription charged on another.
Missing documentation
Failing to save receipts, confirmation emails, or transaction IDs can make refunds or disputes harder. Always keep records when subscribing or cancelling.
Comparative recap
At-a-glance comparison
| Platform | How to cancel | Refunds possible | Ease | Recommended action |
| Android (Google Play) | Cancel via Google Play → Subscriptions | Refunds via Google (case-by-case); BlockSite policy = no refunds | Generally straightforward if using Google Play | Cancel in Play Store and request refund from Google if needed |
| iOS (App Store) | Cancel via iOS Settings → Subscriptions | Refunds handled by Apple; BlockSite cannot issue Apple refunds | Straightforward if you follow Apple’s subscription flow | Cancel in Settings and use Apple’s refund request page for refunds |
| Browser / Web (Stripe or PayPal) | Cancel at user.blocksite.co → Settings/Subscription | BlockSite states no refunds; payment processors may assist in disputes | Moderate - depends on account access and support responsiveness | Cancel in account, check PayPal/Stripe recurring payments, save receipts |
After cancelling
Confirm cancellation
After cancelling, check for a confirmation email or a change in subscription status in your store or account settings. Keep a screenshot for your records.
