I don’t like that you have to pay for it

Good

Love

About the app

Very very good app .

Great app

The new patch / update is perfect. You can choose “hard” mode so you can’t unlock without a third party’s permission (eg choose a family member to receive an unlock email). I love this because I would always just wait for the timer to count down in the last version of the app

Quick block feature is useless.

Quick block does not follow the parameters I set for it. But seems to follow my other scheduled blocking, which is already active anyway. The quick block should block everything for immediate focus when needed. A timer would be great also.

it works

good features

Can turn off whole thing in settings

Yall gotta get direct system access or something cuz if I just go to settings and turn off access ur system breaks I payed 30 bucks for this come on stop blaming shi on Apple

But other than that works pretty well, to make the app work good tho u pretty much have to pay which is annoying every good feature is behind a paywall

Péssimo

Not a fan. It works ok.

Great until you realize all you have to do is go to settings and toggle off the app permissions. Not that great if you have your own phone and are trying to block for yourself.

最高のサイトブロックアプリ

このアプリ自体iPhoneの機能で無料でできるため必要じゃない人もいますが僕はよかったと考えています。厳格モードがパスワードではなくて時間採用だからですパスワードだと親や友達かいれば時間より強固なロックになりますが
一人ならロックは無いようなものと等しいですそのため自分には時間があっていまし
た。
厳格モードでできること
1ブロックの解除ができない
このモードでは時間内までブロックに設定したアプリを解除できません。
2 時間変更はできない。
例YouTube1日1時間ならそれを30分に短くする変更はできますが
1時間30分など長くする変更はできません。
厳格モードは5〜30分の間でそのモードを解除できるためぶっちゃけアニメやドラマなどをテレビで見たりしてしまえば解除するのは余裕ですがまずドラマなどを見たらそっちに集中するためいいと考えています。
ぶっちゃけテレビなどでYouTubeなどを見てしまえば意味ないですがその場合このアプリを使う意味やこのアプリに出会う事はないでしょう 
自分もYouTubeを5時間ぐらい暇な時は見てパチンコに行って金がなくなりしかもい方は悪いかもだがYouTubeショートなどのドーパミンが脳を占めて長いドラマなどが見れなくNetflixなどを無駄に課金してお金をもっと減らす悪循環に陥りましたそれを改善するためにこのアプリに出会いましたがまだ18日しかこのアプリをつかっていないためわからないですが
このアプリを使えばYouTubeショートが1時間程度まで減ることができアニメやドラマなどを見ることができたと感じました自分はドパガキだと思っていてiPhoneの基本設定でできる方では意味がなかったですがこのアプリなら成功できたと感じています。そのためこのアプリは課金してまで使う価値があります。

Response from developer

ご自身のデジタル習慣を変えるために使ってくださり、本当にうれしいです。厳格モードがYouTube Shortsの時間を減らし、アニメやドラマに集中する助けになったとのこと、とても励みになります。 AppBlockがscreen time controlやdigital detox、stay focusedの面で役立てているなら何よりです。課金する価値があると言っていただけて光栄です。 信頼して使ってくださりありがとうございます - Anna

Great but buggy - please let me turn off the streak!

This app has been really helpful to stop me from using social media too often, however, it’s very buggy.

I have to pause often because I do marketing for my job, but every pause takes up to 30 seconds to take affect, and often I have to close and reopen the app to get it to work. There are times that the app forgets I’ve paid for premium, and I have to close and reopen the app for that as well. They’ve also introduced a “streak” feature that I can’t turn off anywhere.

read if using for free

If using for free:- Can only schedule blocks a total of two time, can choose as many apps you want . But can only do it for a day like Monday out of the seven days not anymore. So it means you can only schedule or block apps for two days a week . Can also select as many apps and websites but for only two days

Changed My Life

Allowed me to take back control of my life and give me that 1% discipline I knew I was capable of.

Love this app but too many notifs

I’ve turned off notifications several times and they keep popping up anyway. It’s driving me bananas. Why are you sending me notifications several times an hour 😭 the whole point of the app is to stop picking up my phone but when you send me notifications when I turned them off it makes me keep picking up my phone. Please fix this I’m going crazy and want to delete the app because of it

Simple

Very good and very simple to use

Frustração

O aplicativo é realmente muito bom e tem me ajudado, porém o que menos gostei é que eu só consigo adicionar 2 condições na semana de bloqueio e os outros dias não consigo pq eu teria que assinar pra conseguir o que de fato me deixou chateada. Mas pra quem está disposto a pagar é uma boa opção de app.

Doesn’t do anything!

I am staring at my screen as my schedule is activated and all my apps are selected and it’s not blocking a single thing. What is with this App? Either it’s blocking things inappropriately or it’s not working at all. I’ve had enough.

For me, it works

I use AppBlocker as a way to block Apps and websites that are immoral and lead to downfalls. For those who do not like “adult themed websites or Apps (Chatbots) that pull you into countless hours of looking at things that will lead you to feeling guilty later or engaging in AI chats that once again lead to a nasty feeling of shame later, I highly recommend getting this App, pay for the year, research how to close the loophole that allows you to turn it off in screen time (look into the shortcut automation, create a shortcut making it when you click on settings something else opens, then use AppBlocker on shortcuts so you can’t turn it off and open settings until the timer ends) and reclaim a better way of life.
