Olá, que bom saber que você ama o AppBlock. Ficamos felizes por ajudar no controle do tempo de tela, nos hábitos digitais e no foco do dia a dia. Obrigada pelo carinho - Anna

Es hilft mir

Überhaupt mal zu reflektieren, wieviel Zeit ich am Handy hänge, hat mich schockiert. Ich versuche durch konsequentes Blocken dem nun entgegenzuwirken und dabei unterstützt mich diese App wunderbar.

Hallo, danke für diese ehrliche Rückmeldung. Dieser bewusste Blick auf die eigene Bildschirmzeit ist ein großer Schritt. Schön, dass AppBlock Sie beim konsequenten Blocken unterstützt und hilft, gesündere digitale Gewohnheiten aufzubauen. Weiterhin viel Stärke auf diesem Weg - Anna

Ce qu’il me fallait

J’utilisais trop mon tel, les réseaux, les jeux et je voulais fortement ralentir mon utilisation. Je met 4 étoiles car il n’y a rien à reprocher à cette application. J’ai choisi l’abonnement car à mon goût, la version gratuite n’apporte vraiment que le strict minimum et pour quelqu’un qui souhaite faire comme moi, il faudra forcément payer … Faut-il encore que le temps d’écran de IOS ne me met pas une utilisation H24 de mes sites internets … Bref, superbe application !

Bonjour, bravo pour cette démarche pour ralentir réseaux et jeux. Ravie qu’AppBlock vous aide à mieux gérer votre temps d’écran et vos habitudes numériques. Je comprends votre remarque sur la version gratuite, et iOS peut parfois fausser le suivi des sites. Si besoin, écrivez à apple@appblock.app. - Anna

Sacanagem

Fiz a assinatura do premium anual em agosto. Hoje, menos de um mês depois, abro o app que diz que minha assinatura está expirada.

Response from developer

Olá, sinto muito por isso. Uma assinatura anual aparecendo como expirada tão cedo geralmente indica uma falha na sincronização da compra. Tente em Configurações > Restaurar Compra. Se isso não resolver, escreva para apple@appblock.app para que possamos corrigir seu Premium rapidamente. - Eva

Super

C’est vraiment bien car ça t’évite de scroller « juste 5 minutes avant de dormir »
Malheureusement la version gratuite de garenti que deux jours je trouve ça dommage

Response from developer

Bonjour, merci d’avoir partagé ce moment si concret du “juste 5 minutes” avant de dormir. Nous sommes ravis qu’AppBlock vous aide à réduire le screen time. Pour la version gratuite, Premium nous aide aussi à maintenir et améliorer l’accès gratuit. - Anna

Cool

Would be better if
It was ACTUALLY $5 a month and not $50 a year.

the premium is worth it if you’re really struggling

i have to say, i tried a lot of apps for blocking social media lol. my addiction to socials was full fledged.. and i would always just bypass the rules i made for myself. they may work for a few days but eventually it just became second nature to unlock whatever i set. with the premium of app block, having a schedule set that automatically turns on strict mode has been a game changer for me. i have seen my time on social media shrink immediately! i dont even miss it tbh, not half as much as i thought i would. i know i cant unblock it even if i wanted so i move on. there’s even been days recently where i forget that my schedule has ended and i dont even open social media all day!! MAJOR shift from opening probably hundreds of times a day. i am really thankful for this app. feels like i am finally living more present and getting my time back!

Response from developer

Thank you for sharing such a real shift. Going from opening social media hundreds of times a day to forgetting the schedule ended is huge. We’re glad AppBlock Premium and Strict Mode help you stay focused, reduce screen time, and feel more present. Proud to support this change - Anna

Way too many notifications

Great app, but they keep adding new ways to send notifications even if i had notifications disabled??? I didn’t have permissions enabled and they still kept sending them? Kind of intrusive. Had to allow notification permissions to disable them when I had never enabled them in the first place.

Para Foco Estudos e Trabalho

Excelente! sempre sinto que meu cérebro “frita” quando me perco no tempo de uso das redes sociais de scrolling, e esse app tem me ajudado muito em relação ao meu tempo de uso!
luanzin244luanzin244

Response from developer

Olá, que bom saber que o AppBlock tem ajudado quando o scrolling nas redes passa do ponto. Agradecemos por compartilhar esse impacto real no seu tempo de tela, foco e hábitos digitais. Ficamos felizes em apoiar esse controle no dia a dia - Anna

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.

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.

What a meaningful change, going from nine hours on social media in seventh grade to only one or two now is huge. Thank you for sharing how Strict Mode helped you build stronger digital habits without monthly fees. We’re proud AppBlock could help reduce screen time and support your focus through school. Honored to be part of this progress - Anna
