Very useful

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.

Hi Rachel, Happy to hear AppBlock helps you and your kids! Thank you for the 5-star review! :) Soon we're coming out with a large update with many new features. Hope you will like them too! Best regards, Anouk - AppBlock team

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.

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.

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

I left and came back lol.

So I used it for a year, but after a year I wanted an app that works both on phone and pc

I was looking in to freedom and opal

But tbh they overcomplicated the app and don't have strict mode, and if u wanna pause is minimum 10 min lol? What if I want a quick check of 1min? I don't want 10 min doom scrolling.

But yeah so far this app is most complete for my needs. If u guys would sync with pc would be dope (I know there is a limited plugin tho)
