  • Gave me my life back.

    This app finally allowed me to break my Facebook compulsion. I allow myself 2 hours a day now, but I rarely use it more than half an hour a day. I’m less angry. I read more. If I could give this app 20 stars, I would.

    Amazing results! Thank you for sharing :)
  • Effective

    I’m really enjoying using this app to control my screen time. It’s the best I’ve tried so far and I have tried many. Simple interface and no ads or in-app purchases!

    Developer Response

    Great to hear that it's effective :) Thank you!
  • Life changing!

    Really good app, I use it so I won’t scroll endlessly at 3 o’clock in the morning 😅 it’s really helped!

    Great to hear that it has helped :) Thank you!
  • Simple, functional, free Screen Time app

    Glad to have finally found a Screen Time app that doesn’t overcomplicate things. I tried a few others but they make you set up schedules and limits and are just overly complicated. This one is dead simple, and by default does not let you bypass the limit without going into the app to manually do it. Exactly what I wanted, will consider paying for the full version!

  • Well-designed. Simple & efficient

    Being able to set various times to block certain apps at different days, it meets all the bars it needs to. Sure, when it’s free you can still turn off the blockage yourself as an option, however, it’s knowing and it still has made it way easier to adjust my habits and be more accountable to myself.

    Doom scrolling social media just needs to stop. I’m tired of being told society is collapsing and everyone hates men. This app helped me changed my habits and my mood

    This app helps me stay off my phone but I wish it was harder to unblock

    Developer Response

    Glad to hear its helping :) Note that whenever you try to create a new blocking session, or tap to update it, there is a "Strict Mode" section. If you tap on that, there are various options to make it more difficult to unblock. Feel welcome to always message hello@refocusapp.co for more!
  • A life Saver

    I can’t see how many times this has helped me save time. An excellent app for saving time!

    Developer Response

    Awesome to hear :) Thank you!
  • Needful

    It does what I need it to do, and helps me keep my focus where it needs to be. Not that I lack the will power to do it on my own…but, I lack the will power to do it on my own.

    Developer Response

    "I lack the will power to do it on my own" - same here! It's nice to get a little nudge from an app :) Thank you!
  • This app has really helped me use my phone less

    I like how the “stop blocking sessions” allow you to set out a small break to be distracted, but then remind you to go back to being productive. I wish the premium subscription was a bit cheaper.

    Developer Response

    "allow you to set out a small break to be distracted" - that's the goal! It gives a little nudge in case you get into "doom-scrolling mode." Thank you! 🙌
  • Total lifesaver to help kick social media addiction

    Much better than the built in screen time that can just be endlessly ignored!

    Developer Response

    Great to hear that it is helping to kick the social media addiction :) Thank you! 🙌
