Disappointed with session limit

The app was really helping me get off my phone to study and they've recently changed it so you only have 3 sessions to unplug a week, which I used in 1 day.

Hi AndyRedfearn - thank you for your feedback, we really value it. Our free plan offering three unlimited-length sessions a week is designed to serve three after-school homework sessions of the week, which our data shows serves most of our users' needs. It's great that you are using Erika much more than this. At £5.80/month Erika Plus has been carefully set at a level that is not much more than a cup of coffee per month and will give you unlimited sessions, scheduling, usage limits, friend battles (coming soon) and profile personalisation. Brand rewards for Erika Plus users are even coming soon too. We think its great value and have worked hard to ensure it's at the right level - maybe worth a try for you? Erika Plus has a free trial period, so please do give it a go. Thank you again for your feedback and we hope to keep you as a valued user. Regards, Nick

Makes you pay

I used to love this app when I could block my apps anytime I wanted. They’ve now nonsensically added a payment plan which restricts you from using it unless you subscribe. I’ve uninstalled the app and so have my friends…rubbish.

We can't unfortunately exist as a business with an open free plan -we'd love to but, like Twitter/ X we have to draw a line between free and paid somewhere, in order for us to exist.

Review

I was loving this app for the first day to remove those distractions up until I realised that you could only use it 3 times a week and not limitless unless you pay, which is ridiculous. I had used it already all in one day. If I’m going to have to make so many new accounts so I can use this as it was useful then that’s disappointing and I would need to find another app as the free trial is so expensive!

Exactly what I needed😍

i really struggle with scrolling paralysis and addiction to these stupid apps but this app just makes them disappear it’s so refreshing 😍 and means i can still have them to save my accounts on them and still be able to update my accounts 🫶 it’s so good for revision because my phone is the main distractor to not revising 😶 tysm for making this app ilysm 💖💖💖

Wont allow sign in

I’ve been trying to sign into it for so long now. I entered my phone number and it says that it’s not a valid number, although I’ve retyped it in multiple times making sure i don’t get it wrong. I also tried using my email but it’s still acting up and tells me to check that i’ve written it correctly. I keep on refreshing the app and trying again but it doesn’t seem to do anything. Please check this because it seems like i’m not the only one with this problem.

Hi Lesya.monday - I'd love to help here. We haven't rolled out to all global countries yet and so it could be that your number/country code isn't yet supported, but let's have a look. Drop me a note privately on hello@erika.app and we'll have a look together. Regards, Nick

Great for studying

My parents made me get this app to focus on my exams. It’s been great and really helped me focus. I’ve got much more revision done so hopefully my exams will go well now!

This app has really helped and supported my daughter achieve balance in her studies and revision. Super tool

Won't even let me sign up

Heard this app was good to cut out distractions but It wont even let me login…redownloaded the app and it still won't work, also tried both sign up methods doesn't work.

Great app but it stops working randomly
