Emergency off

It’s a great thing to use, but I think it’s ABSURD that the emergency off is for premium. I had a call with my boss and it kept vibrating and they said “what’s that noise” and all I could say was “it’s an app telling me to get off my phone” and they asked why I didn’t turn it off and I told them. He chuckled and said it was stupid (he’s a bit younger -older than me though- so he laughs at lots of things) And all we could do was laugh and hear a vibrating whenever we were trying to talk about work because you thought we needed to PAY to turn it off. It’s called an EMERGENCY BUTTON for a reason I’m sure? Correct me if I’m wrong. 🙄

Response from developer

Hey b00p, Wow! I’m sorry to hear about that awkward interaction with your boss. I never thought about that possibility before. I’m glad they were a good sport about it but I’m sorry that happened. You’re right though, that seems like an oversight by me to make it a premium only feature. After your comment I’m already looking into ways I can make it shutoff for all users as soon as they get an incoming call. Thanks for leaving a review and letting me know about what happened. If you have any more comments or suggestions feel free to email me at GetOffYourPhoneApp@gmail.com -Daniel

It’s good but 😕

So I put it in 30 min so I put my phone away but it starts beeping and like I thought some texted me so I checked it’s said jonsh Don get off the phone but I wasn’t on my phone when I deleted it still keep going just one time and like later I download and it keep going like I got 20 text from them so it’s but it’s not the best even for kids.

Please tell me why the keep on going when you are not in your phone. Please tell me. Thank you bye.

Response from developer

Hey wass up dogs, I’m sorry that it wasn’t working correctly! That definitely shouldn’t be happening. When you locked your phone you made sure you kept the app open right? You should keep the app open after you start the 30 minutes and then lock your phone while the app is open. If you close the app first and then lock your phone the app doesn’t realize you’re off your phone and will start sending you notifications. You can go ahead and send me an email at GetOffYourPhoneApp@gmail.com if this wasn’t your problem or if it didn’t fix your issue. -Daniel

Great Customer Service

Great App- helpful features for anyone trying to be present and not on the phone - also great for kids who need to study! Helpful for ADHD folks

Useful product, good customer service

This app does what it says. I find it very useful for stopping my growing habit of looking at my phone instinctively when I’m bored or distracted. After using this app, I’m more thoughtful and deliberate about how much and why I am using my phone and I’m already setting better phone use habits. My phone is returning to its rightful place as a useful tool instead of a time waster.

After trying the free version 1.0.1 , I purchased the premium upgrade with themes. However, after the purchase I still could not access the premium features. The developer was quick to communicate with me when I requested help. When the suggested solutions did not work, the developer had an an upgrade available in less than 24 hours that fixed the problem.

After using the app, I think one great improvement would be to allow the user to schedule the app to begin at a certain time in the future or to operate at certain times on certain days of the week. This would allow the user to schedule the app to operate during the times of day when overuse is tempting, without the user having to pick up the phone and operate it at that time even for the purpose of turning on this app.

One huge issue!

The app is a good idea, but just wasn’t executed correctly. I like the fact that it sends you constant notifications... except even when I’m not on my phone it’s still buzzing + ringing. I thought that once I’d lock my phone and stay off it would stop. I deleted the app due to this. Fix it!!!

So distracting

Literally would not stop sending me notifications even when my phone was locked and I wasn’t using it.
