Version History of BB

1.2.24

September 17, 2024

- The Daily Usage Limit condition can now be configured to take into account _all_ device usage, not just the schema's selected content. - Improved how schema processing works. This means schemas should hopefully now always be processed instantly, meaning you won't be seeing the "schema hasn't been processed yet" warning again!

More

1.2.23

September 16, 2024

Fixed a bug where a schema would never finish processing depending on certain OS versions.

1.2.22

August 26, 2024

Small improvement to the alternate icons feature, further reducing BB's (already small) app size!

1.2.21

August 8, 2024

Fixed a small bug where custom block screen images were showing up smaller and blurrier than intended.

1.2.20

July 21, 2024

- Fixed a case where BB would allow you to go over iOS's limit for how many apps/websites a screen time app like BB can track at once, resulting in a bug where the home screen would claim that a schema was successfully published when in reality it would cause iOS to ignore all apps/websites going over said limit. Attempting to publish a schema will now show a warning in such cases with tips on preventing it. - Fixed a case where BB's schema Widget would not show up correctly in certain iOS versions. - When an entire category is selected, the Edit Schema screen will now warn you that certain apps are ignored from the selection depending on your phone's Screen Time settings.

More

1.2.19

July 14, 2024

Fixes a small bug where tapping the empty area of cells including multiple buttons, such as the usage limit condition's configuration box, would result in the cell's buttons believing they were pressed when in reality they were not.

More

1.2.18

June 16, 2024

- Fixed usage limit conditions not working correctly for users in iOS 17.4. Before 17.4 iOS considered past usage when calculating if the limit was reached, but iOS 17.4 changed how that works. This BB update fixes that, so usage limit conditions should now be working properly again. You can apply the fix by simply re-publishing one of your schemas after updating to this version. - The Home screen will now more accurately reflect the status of schemas containing usage limit conditions. Before this update, the app would sometimes tell you that a schema finished processing when that was actually not the case, leading to confusing/misleading statuses.

More

1.2.17

May 14, 2024

Fixed a case where BB would incorrectly claim that the schemas failed to be published in cases where the device simply happened to need a bit more time to process them. The message has been replaced and will now better describe this scenario.

More

1.2.16

April 7, 2024

BB went to a couple of anxiety therapy sessions and has now learned that it should wait a couple of seconds before assuming that a schema failed to be published. This fixes a bug where an error view would incorrectly be displayed (and quickly disappear shortly after) in cases where iOS would take slightly longer than expected to process a schema.

More

1.2.15

March 5, 2024

No new functionality; this update just adds the privacy manifests that Apple now requires apps to provide. Which was very easy to do, since BB doesn't track any information whatsoever :)

Reviews of BB

  • Great app (even the free version)

    Even the free version of this app is great. I love being able to block different apps and create a schedule. You can block websites too.
  • Great app (even the free version)

    Even the free version of this app is great. I love being able to block different apps and create a schedule. You can block websites too.

    My question is whether anyone else has similar problem as I do: when I use the search button to find the website I want to block, it’ll find it, but then instead of having a “done” button, it says “cancel” so then I’m unable to add the content to block. Also, whenever I click “other” categories, I just see a blank screen.

    A suggestion (or maybe this is already in the app, but I can’t find it), is to give the option to type different websites to block.
  • Good

    Actually a good screen time management app. And I rarely comment or like apps.
