Buggy

The app does work but it has a lot of bugs and you will have to persevere with it a lot to get it to work

Horrible App - Don’t waste your time

It doesn’t do the things it says it does, it is incredibly buggy and has technical problems, it has horrible UI and functionality, and it is completely utterly useless unless you pay for premium (the free version only allows one day of usage per week, and even that 1 day is very limited in what can be done).

Kind of shocked that it works, feels great!

There are many ways to approach this app, it has multiple levels of control and techniques to achieve your goals with reducing screen time. Here’s what I like: •The schedule function is great for blocking off work, lunch, breaks etc. at your job. •The expiration setting + Strict Mode is great way to brick your phone for a good chunk of time, it even allows you to prevent app install/uninstalling so you don’t cheat. • The app selection feature makes is SO EASY to choose all the apps you want to block. No cumbersome workflow - chose the app, set the method on blocking, and boom. Done. The thing I wanted from an app like this is to have no way of making changes once the decision is made, so I am forced to leave my phone and be productive. This is why Strict Mode has been a lifesaver for me, I want to have zero ways of opening the apps with no workarounds and that’s exactly what it does. IMO, this app is worth the couple of bucks a month and in the week and a half since buying this I have used it every single day to focus on work, my personal goals, and even things like chores. When I have no distraction to keep delaying action, the work gets done faster and I don’t end up in a decisions/anxiety loop. It allows for more time for me to do as I wish or even better, block off time to work on low dopamine personal things (drawing, organizing, journaling, etc). I was not paid to say any of this, I rarely leave reviews, all I can say is that this was the type of app I’ve been looking for and it has helped me a lot. I am chronically on my phone and it feels like a breath of fresh air to have control over it. I have already seen the results of using it, it has lowered anxiety/decision paralysis and just for that alone I will continue to use it.

Dear, Thank you so much for detailed review. You are Awesome! Please recommend the app to your friends and family. You can always email me at ava@innoxapps.com in case of issues. Thanks Team Stay Focused - App & Website Blocker

It’s good enough

The extra couple steps it’s takes to defeat it after I activate it is enough for me to leave my phone alone when it’s time. So for me it works.

Recommendations to make app better

This app was alright, I am trying to prevent myself going on social media when it’s time for me to get some rest, I was hoping for an app that would allow me to block access to a specific app at specific time until a specific time. Unfortunately, this app doesn’t have an option to Prevent me from going on an app at a specific time, if you would mind, please add this and I’m sure many more people may download

Thank you.

Using premium feature on another device

Dear StayFocused Devs,

I installed the app on my Samsung tablet in 2020 or 2021 and I bought the premium feature back then. May you please allow me to use the premium on IPhone because the app wasn’t released on IOS back then.

Buggy

[skip this app, buy something else]

Hello,
Often i’m able to enter the app without passcode, and access to app is password protected. This happens on my & my wife’s phone.

There is no obvious pattern when/how this happens, so i can’t give more specific info.

For paid version of the app I would expect that minimum of promised functionalities actually works.

OS: iOS 18.0.1
Latest version of app.

Scam. Please do not pay for this app.

Incredibly buggy, the UI is constantly freezing and crashing. I paid £3.99 for the pro version purely for the ‘strict mode’ feature and it straight up does not work.

There’s nobody to contact for help?

This app picks and chooses when it wants to work, it is driving me insane especially as it’s PRO version. There’s no ‘contact us’ feature anywhere either, but it does not automatically switch on at any point.
