Leave a Review AppBlock
Lifesaver!
I was looking for something to block certain apps during scheduled times that I couldn’t “get around” (by deleting or ignoring screen time warnings), and this is it! I have all schedules set to strict mode so I can’t delete the app without doing a hard reset on my phone. I was basically addicted to a certain social media app, and now, even when the schedules are done, I don’t spend large amounts of time scrolling any more. It’s been a few weeks now and I already feel my attention span returning and productivity at work is increasing. This app has been a lifesaver, and I rave about it to anyone who mentions feeling like they’re on their phone too much!Show lessDeveloper Response

I’ve been using AppBlock for quite some time now and decided to upgrade to premium severel months ago. I generally love this app with one exception: It won’t let me choose to toggle on/block any apps manually in the productivity & finance section. I can only choose to block all of the apps at once in the productivity & finance section. This is so annoying as I need some productivity apps during work hours and don’t want to block off all of them. For example, I want to block my email app but not my finance apps or google drive app during my dedicated blocked time windows. It’s been going on for months and has not been fixed in the latest update 2 weeks ago! Please fix this issue, i heavily rely on this app. Until bugs are fixed, maybe you can at least separate the productivity & finance section into 2 separate sections? It would be so helpful!!Show lessDeveloper Response
Thank you for your feedback! I'm sorry to hear about the issues you're experiencing. If the Productivity and Finance category does not open sometimes, please try using the search bar to block the apps in this category. We apologize for the inconvenience! - SimonaBuggy 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.Show lessDeveloper Response
Hi, I'm really sorry to hear AppBlock is not working well for you. It looks like the issues you describe are caused by the reaction of the system. Unfortunately, there is nothing we can do to fix system reactions as we have no control over it. As soon as you have an iOS update available, please update your system. It could help solve such issues. We apologize for the inconvenience! - Simona
