Great until it stopped blocking
Was really helping me until the update. Now it rarely works! Don’t buy the annual membership like I did.
Good app fails to be perfect
This app was what I was looking for. Specifically, setting a time that apps were unavailable to me that were distracting. What makes this simple idea not perfect in its execution, is the year long subscription model. This should have a one time purchase and I will continue to not pay for the Premium. I think it’s a scummy business idea. Thank you for the free app.
Nice
I like it because it’s easy to use
Go to settings
Can be easily turned off in settings. Doesn’t work. The shortcuts solution they posted on their website would not let you open settings at all if you do it
Buggy
App is buggy. Sometimes blocks as intended and sometimes not. I paid for annual subscription and do not get the experience I had hoped for.
Buggy but helpful
I have to leave 3 stars bc despite not working well, this app is helpful to me. I use it all the time. However, it’s super buggy and frustrating to the point that I’ll throw my phone down angrily while trying to set schedules. When setting a schedule, using the search bar will automatically freeze the app. It will not unfreeze; you will have to force quit the app and try again. Instead, you have to find the app or website by choosing the right category (doing this will also freeze the app 40% of the time). You also can’t enter websites anymore. It’s frustrating that I pay for a yearly subscription, yet it has to be force quit several times everytime I open the app.
Buggy and useless
This app worked great a couple of months ago, but has become so woefully broken that I’m deleting it for good. I opted for this one (and paid for an annual premium membership) primarily for the Strict Mode feature. This app initially appealed to me for its advertised ability to run multiple schedules at a time with a Strict Mode that would not allow one to modify schedules/delete the app when schedules have been exceeded. There is a flaw with the App Usage schedules that will inaccurately “count” and disable apps as being in-use if you do not force close/exit them when navigating away from them. After a few months of owning the app and it working as expected, Strict Mode inextricably stopped working. At the advice of the app’s support team, I have deleted/reinstalled the app several times in the last couple of months to resolve these issues. This may fix my issue for a day or two, at most, before Strict Mode stops working again. The last straw was today when I went to adjust a setting only for the app to tell me my subscription has expired, when it doesn’t expire until July 2024. Comically, deleting/reinstalling the app resolves this issue only for a couple of days, before I was again shown Premium had expired erroneously.
