Very good

The current features are great, and the app could be even more effective with an option to prevent users from easily deleting it. Once you reach your limit for a certain app, it can be tempting to simply delete the restriction app altogether. It would be helpful to have a setting that allows users to lock the app from being deleted for a preset period (e.g., a few days or a week), with the option to schedule or change this lock at set intervals. This would make the app much more effective at helping users stick to their screen-time goals.

Miracle App

This app will change your life. Worth every dollar. Take control of your digital life and get this app.

Selfish

Just money hungry and cant offer these things for free to genuinely help people.

Does the job

A bit tricky to make changes when I need to unblock an app I originally blocked! Frustrating

Exceptional app for anyone looking to reduce screentime

I’ve seen and tried many apps that were advertised as effective methods of reducing your screen-time or limiting the apps you can open. They either let you pause the lock without restrictions, or they require a membership, which costs money — something a poor student like me would not appreciate. On the other hand, this app does not force you to incur monthly fees, or let you unlock your apps easily. Its strict mode, in particular, allows you to lock the apps you’re trying to avoid for no cost. There’s no way of unlocking apps while activating strict mode, which is a crucial feature for people who are seriously struggling with excessive screen usage and minimizing distractions. I’ve used this app throughout middle school, and now, in my freshmen year, my screen time has decreased significantly. In seventh grade, I spent nine hours on social media, which distracted me from schoolwork and hobbies. Now, I don’t even need the app, as I only spend around an hour or two daily on social media thanks to this feature.

TL;DR: I highly recommend this if you want an app that effectively prevents you from accessing distractions at no cost.

Easy to use

I use this for daily writing, excellent, never had an issue, emergency unblocked works.

Auxílio no domínio próprio

Auxilia a ter controle no uso desenfreado dos celulares. O uso para impedir o acesso ao instagram tem me ajudado muito.
Há algumas funcionalidades que poderiam ser melhorados, de modo a tornar impossível burlar as barreiras. Ex. Poderia ter uma forma de impedir completamente o uso em um dia, sem chance de alteração da barreira.

Response from developer

Olá, saber que o AppBlock ajuda você a controlar o tempo de tela e bloquear o Instagram no dia a dia é muito importante para nós. Sua sugestão de barreiras mais difíceis de alterar, inclusive por um dia inteiro, faz sentido e será levada ao time. Seguimos aprimorando o foco e os hábitos digitais - Anna

Boa Avaliação

Exatamente o que eu queria.

Doesn’t function on iPhone

I used to have this on my android network perfectly but on the iPhone it sometimes works and sometimes doesn’t. Also, on the android you can lock some stuff and not others while on the iPhone. You have to lock everything and strict mode.

Useless on an iPad because workaround is a no brainer

Just go to settings and disable screen time for the app and app becomes completely useless regardless if strict mode is activated.

Best free app

Please keep it free it helps me

Great for Focus

Love the app, helps me focus and get stuff done

hilfreich

Eine der hilfreichsten Apps, die ich je genutzt habe. Klare Empfehlung für alle, die sich Unterstützung dabei wünschen, ihr digitales Nutzungsverhalten besser zu regulieren. Strikter Modus beste Waffe, wenn man sich selbst nicht über den Weg trauen kann.

Response from developer

Hallo Thomiphu, das bedeutet uns viel. Schön, dass AppBlock Ihnen so konkret hilft, Ihr digitales Nutzungsverhalten zu regulieren. Gerade der Strikte Modus soll dabei unterstützen, Bildschirmzeit zu senken und bessere digitale Gewohnheiten aufzubauen. Vielen Dank für die klare Empfehlung - Anna

Q

Parfaite application avec un abonnement clairement abordable et attractif comparé à la concurrence. J’ai d’ailleurs une question a propos de l’application, est-ce possible de rendre impossible la désinstallation de l’application pour renforcer l’utilité ou c’est impossible ?

Response from developer

Bonjour, merci pour votre retour sur l’abonnement. Sur iOS, Apple ne permet pas de rendre la désinstallation d’une app totalement impossible. AppBlock peut toutefois renforcer vos restrictions pour mieux contrôler le screen time et rester concentré. Pour un réglage précis : apple@appblock.app - Anna

Review

Ah it’s Alr

effective and reliable

strict mode is a blessing. i literally cannot control myself to stop scrolling so this really saves my mornings!

Doesn’t Work How it Should!

All you have to do is disable screen time access either through screen time or the app setting. I had someone else put in a screen time code and was still able to turn off access without there code. This needs to be fixed. Brick does not allow this loop to happen
