MAJOR ISSUE / Warning

App was working great for about two weeks. After buying the $50/year premium subscription it started to malfunction (I can’t open the open without it crashing). Have not been able to fix despite restarting my device, closing the app, etc.

For reference, I’m using a new iPhone 14 Pro.

Response from developer

Hi Thomas, thanks for taking the time to write a review and voice your concerns. Are you using the iOS 17 Beta on your phone? Also, can you please reach out to me directly so we can help troubleshoot this? tim.smits@unpluq.com --this is definitely not normal and I'd like to check a few settings and permissions and then escalate from there to get it fixed. We're really responsive on email.

Actually stops me using my phone

I like the schedules you can set up and it’s an effort to turn them off. So I find myself just knowing the schedule is on. It works so well.

Thanks!

Great to get you off social media

With the free version, you can only block 2 apps but I mostly had problems with two so it helped me get off social media. I still go every day to check messages but I'm down to maybe 30 minutes instead of 3hours because when you unblock apps it only unblocks for 5mins at a time.

Actually works

Having to shake my phone in public to access my blocked apps (social media) really deters me. Works wonders.

Does exactly what it says on the tin.

Note: You can only block 2 apps and set 1 schedule for free but that hasht effected me.

Fantastic App

An amazing app, I use it with the physical NFC tag and it’s awesome

Keep up the good work !!

Thank you, so glad it's working for you with the Unpluq Tag!

Does Not Work

it won’t let me pick apps to block none of the drop down menus wired and i can’t search for apps on my phone to block

Response from developer

Hi, thanks so much for letting us know you had a problem with the app. This has been fixed in the latest version (it was impacting a few folks, like yourself). It was an issue with the Screen Time interface from Apple that we depend on and we were able to provide a workaround--let me know if you encounter any other issue and I'll be happy to help you at tim.smits@unpluq.com.

Not letting me select apps

I have the free version of the app but when I try to select the two apps I want to block it isn’t letting me.

Response from developer

Hi Nikki, thank you for letting us know and giving this feedback. We have fixed this bug in the latest release, now out! Thank you for your patience, and please do let me know if I can help with anything else or if things aren't working as expected. You can reach me direct at tim.smits@unpluq.com if that is better for you.

Amazing app, very effective

This app has significantly reduced my screen time, I’d definitely recommend it. A little bit buggy at times but apart from that it’s great

Amazing

I swear I’ve saved so much more time doing actually important things thanks to this app. The only thing I’d tweak is maybe how long the apps are unblocked for. Idk if there already is an option for that but I don’t think there is. Other than that, ITS GREAT!
