About the game
This game is super hard but it’s very helpful. My phone always turns off because the game Hass to be on. I really like this game but sometimes it can be bad. I think it should be 12+ or 9+4 year olds will get mad and maybe break their phone for itHhxjggg
Good app but
Wish it could send notifications when unlocking your phone and have a feature where it’s on the lock screen like the timer app.Bevans11
It works - clever idea, well executed
This sounds like some kind of self-promotion but it definitely isn’t. I really have tried quite a few different app-blocker apps and quite a few highly rated or promoted ones are no longer working, unavailable on the App Store or very buggy, or they are too easy to work-around.
This app seems to work really well for Apple because it doesn’t actually block your apps or try integrate with Screentime/ downtime, it puts an annoying ad on the front of your screen (yes you do need to keep the app open before locking your phone) and then if you do try use your phone and switch apps it bugs you with notifications - a very effective deterrent.
The bug mentioned in a previous review about not allowing incoming phone calls has been fixed - if someone calls me, even on Teams, it gets through, even if the app is in ‘active’ mode.
I’m on the free version still because I’m not sure how well my will power will withstand having an emergency button available but can definitely see the appeal, and it’s a one-off payment instead of a subscription which is great.
Well done to the developer.Show lessShnippers
Developer Response
Hey Shnippers! I'm so happy to hear you're enjoying the app! The goal of the app was to make it as simple as possible for people to get off their phone and stay focused, I'm really happy to hear that's been a success for you. So with premium there is the emergency off button, but there is also a setting to limit the amount of emergency offs (breaks) you can do in a session. You can set this to 0 and it won't allow you to take any breaks during a session, the setting also can't be changed mid session meaning you can't cheat it. Feel free to email me if you have any ideas on a better way to implement the emergency off limit, or if you have any other suggestions. The email is GetOffYourPhoneApp@gmail.com Thanks, -Daniel
