so terrible

This app is so terrible. I followed its ridiculous process, and then it tells me I can only choose one day a week, and only four hours a day. Are you sure the developer is mentally sound?

Worth the money

This gives me what the Screen Time feature never has been able to. I wanted to block social media for different, specific time periods on different days based on work schedule and also the weekend. FINALLY I can do that. I also appreciate that it has a strict mode. I asked my husband to set a PIN that only he knows so I can’t sabotage myself and unlock it on my own. 😄 Works great!

All you need!!

Don’t buy a Brick, don’t need a dumb phone, just take this app seriously and you’ll have your time back. I never wrote reviews and I never pay for apps but this is my 3rd year w this and felt I owed it to them. Highly recommend. Get your life back.

Não funciona como prometido

Comprei a versão paga e me arrependi. O app falha quase que diariamente. Deixei um pequeno limite de uso diário, mas ele já começa o dia com os Apps bloqueados, como se já tivesse usado, sem que de fato tenham sido. Tb deixou Apps abertos em momentos que deveriam estar bloqueados. Mandei email para o suporte e não obtive nenhum retorno. Péssimo App, e zero atendimento ao cliente. Não dou zero estrelas porque não é possível.

You can negate the whole app in settings

You can go to settings-Screen time- scroll down till you see AppBlock swipe it off put in your pass key and it’s no longer blocking any thing. Why in the world was it that easy? I am trying to kick a habit and now the app is useless I bypass it all the time. That needs to get fixed and actually hard block yore phone. Before I figured that out it worked great.

I. Stuck

I’m a kid, I don’t know my screen time password and I give it access to my screen time without it telling me it costs money yet, then I can’t delete the app without putting in the screen time password. Help i don’t know what to do

Eine der besten Entscheidungen meines Lebens

Ich muss wirklich sagen ich bin enorm begeistert. Ich kann die app mit dem Abonnement so einstellen dass ich selbst mir nicht mehr die Zeit verlängern kann und auch in schwachen Zeiten diszipliniert bleibe. Ich bin von ca 6h auf 2h Bildschirmzeit am Tag seitdem hinabgekommen. Das Leben fühlt sich so wieder viel lebenswerter und produktiver an!

Hallo, das ist großartig zu lesen. Von 6 auf 2 Stunden Bildschirmzeit ist ein starker Schritt, und genau dafür soll AppBlock helfen: Grenzen setzen, auch in schwachen Momenten diszipliniert bleiben und bessere digitale Gewohnheiten aufbauen. Das motiviert uns sehr - Anna

Has saved me hours and hours of my life I would have spent doom scrolling!!

It’s so simple to use and just works. Their science is legit

Cooldown is so smart

Love that you can still do what you need to do, but setting a 15 minute cooldown for changing settings is so helpful!

Perfect for me to control how I use my screen time.

Response from developer

Thank you for sharing that. It’s great to know AppBlock fits your routine and helps you control screen time, stay focused, and build healthier digital habits. Proud to support your progress - Anna

Life Changing

This app is the most essential thing on my phone. It helps me control the phone, and after years of screen and work addiction, the phone no longer has my free time. I have gotten so much of my brain space back because of this app. I tell everyone about it.

I have watched it improve over the last 3 years and it provides a diverse portfolio of ways you can claim back your time. It offers many types of schedules, a cool down period (when your fingers work faster on typing than your brain has time to catch up), ways to unlock strict mode (a timer being my favorite). And it works WITH me and whatever my current ability is for self control.
With this I have had more peaceful nights, mornings and more sleep. More personal time to ponder and get real things done. My kids see my face more looking up at them and jot at my screen and I can be the example I want to be.
This is a highly valuable tool.

This is the best

You have many apps out there. But this one here, gets your job pretty much done in free subscription itself. Don’t overthink. Just install AppBlock.
KKarthikArjun

Response from developer

It’s great to hear the free version already gets the job done for you. We’re happy AppBlock helps make screen time control simpler, so people can stay focused without overthinking the setup. Grateful for your recommendation - Anna

Allowlist doesn’t work as expected

I paid for the premium version to use the allowlist feature, but Netflix and ABEMA TV were still accessible even though I hadn’t added them to the allowlist. This defeats the purpose of the feature, and I’m disappointed that it doesn’t work as expected.
ししゅれむやらなやらやらやさまやさや

Response from developer

Thank you for explaining this. I’m sorry the allowlist didn’t block Netflix and ABEMA TV as expected, especially after upgrading for that feature. Please email apple@appblock.app so we can check your Premium setup and help restore reliable screen time control. We’ll take it from there - Anna
