I am basically satisfied with this app. It does the core things it advertises well enough from what I have seen. The fact that the blocking timelock is non-reversible until the timer ends is something I really appreciate, as is the fact that I can add more websites if they become an issue while the timer is going, and also can extend the timer further if needed. Thanks for making a simple and effective app that helps me to manage my time better.
However, for the price, I feel it would also be far more attractive (and likely warrant a 5-star rating) with the following features;
- iCloud syncing of your website deny lists and app settings across all iOS devices
- iCloud triggering of the deny list across all iOS devices with Liberate installed, rather than having to trigger each device separately
- ability to set automation of the timer; e.g. have the deny list activate for 4 hours at 9am on weekdays (NOTE: I would REALLY like this implemented via the iOS Shortcuts automation api, this can be done with some software hooks and doesn’t require heavy rebuilding of the app interface ui, plus this allows integration with Siri)
- ability to use allow lists instead of deny lists (“I want to be able to access ONLY these sites for the next 2 hours)
Bonus features that would be great but are less important to me as a user:
- ability to save/load/choose from multiple deny lists across devices (i.e. weekend deny list vs. weekday deny list, iphone deny list vs. ipad deny list)
- Apple Watch app that lets me trigger Liberate on my other iOS devices
- possibly the ability to deny different lists on different timers (rather than one list on one timer only) (although by contrast I do appreciate the simplicity of management that a single list and timer provides)
