ICEBlock was really poorly designed from what I understand.
For people downvoting the above, read some criticisms the app such as:

I don’t know of the take-down legit but the security of the app has been questioned, too.
Edit: The removal was bullshit. Apple should be pressured to put it back. But, the developer or someone else could do much better.
IIRC it's also not open source, which for me is a big barrier to using it and trusting it at all (other than it being iOS-only).
