Affordable alternative to Opal!

This app has been great! I signed up for the premium version so I could use the strict blocks. It’s been great so far.

I was using Opal (free version) and was wanting to upgrade so I could use strict blocks you cannot bypass. Sooo overpriced. I found this app as an alternative and it does exactly what I need it to do at a reasonable price point.

The app can be a little buggy sometimes and crashes occasionally while in the app. It sometimes takes a few times fully closing it and opening it up again, but it works eventually. Also sometimes it glitches for a bit and you’ll be able to get into an app that you’ve blocked, but that does not happen often at all.

I like that you can customize the message on screen for when you open a blocked app. My only tiny criticism is that it still says “Time to take a break from this app, just as you planned”. Literally not an issue at all I just would prefer if it was totally customizable and that additional text not to be there.

Overall I highly recommend this app!

Incorrect App usage time.

I barely use certain apps, but it still says used for 1hr 45minutes.

Excellent, but…

It would be great if users could customize the popup message that says “App Unavailable
Time for a break from this app, just as you planned” so we could use it to remind ourselves what we *personally* want to be doing with that time instead, such as “work on my side hustle,” “spend time with my family,” etc.

Also, a popup keeps asking over and over and over again whether I like it, until I’m tempted to reply “Not really.” PLEASE either add a “Don’t show this again” button or only ask every six months or once a year.

Excellent, but…

It’s outstanding and I recommend it. But a popup keeps asking over and over and over and over again whether I like it, until I’m tempted to reply no. PLEASE either add a “Don’t show this again” button or only ask once a year.
