Glitchy app

The app constantly glitches and keeps me blocked from all apps despite me pausing the blockers and also then outside the times of set blockers. Multiple times I’ve had to delete the app just to access my phone to remove the restrictions. Have also tried updating app to no avail. For the price paid would’ve thought this wouldn’t happen.

Expensive and just another subscription service

Assumed (probably stupidly) that the price of this app would indicate that it would not be another subscription model. Base version offers nothing default iOS screen time app doesn’t aside from what I assume are AI generated articles on mindfulness.

Blatant scam, I’m ashamed of myself for being so quick to spend my money on it.

1 Year Subscription not working

App was amazing so I got the 1 year subscription. I app glitches every time I open app, saying I need to give permissions. It already has permissions so all I have to do is close and reopen to solve. Also when I make a new block, it frequently blanks or glitches when I add apps. I usually put around 50-70 apps but I don’t think that’s too much. Last thing is, for the past couple weeks only 1 or 2 of my blocks work. All the new ones I made (maybe 2-3) don’t work. They say they’re on but block nothing. Really upset because I paid for it. I restarted my phone and app is up to date.

Rezension

Endlich wieder im Hier und Jetzt

Danke für ein freundliches Team hinter der App und diese wunderschöne App, die mir hilft mehr Zeit für mich und andere zu haben. Der Blocker und die hilfreichen Tipps haben es mir ermöglicht eine bessere Routine aufzubauen. Kann ich nur weiterempfehlen!

Helps break the habit!

I used to come home from work and Facebook for an hour! I couldn’t break this habit. Attentive helps break that initial reflex to open your social media. I’m now back to my yoga routine thanks to Attentive! Love it.

Thank you for sharing your positive feedback! It's statistically proven that people are more likely to complain than to share when they have a positive experience. So, we thank you even more and are thrilled to hear that you’re enjoying being part of the Attentive Club and that you're back to your yoga routine!

Funktioniert nicht

Ich habe das Abo für 5,99 € abgeschlossen, aber leider wurde die versprochene Leistung nicht erbracht. Der Dienst hat nicht wie erwartet funktioniert – ich konnte keinen Nutzen daraus ziehen, da die Funktion, für die ich bezahlt habe, einfach nicht freigeschaltet wurde. Ich bitte darum, das Abo umgehend zu stornieren und mir den Betrag zu erstatten. Sehr enttäuschend, so sollte ein seriöser Anbieter nicht mit zahlenden Kunden umgehen.

Okay but flawed by bugs

It’s nearly impossible to edit various blockers. The app crashes frequently and does not work 100% of the time even on a new iPhone.

Meh

Use to be good. Stopped using it for a few months and started again and realized they now just allow you to pause the blocks. Truly defeats the purpose of having a media blocker if I can just hit pause and can get into the apps you are trying to block. Glad my year I paid for is almost up. Won’t be renewing.

Funktioniert nicht gut

Ich habe ein Abo abgeschlossen, hatte aber ständig Probleme mit der App: Die Blocker ließen sich nicht reibungslos bearbeiten, blieben trotz Deaktivierung eingeschaltet bzw. schalteten sich selbständig aus, und ich musste die App mehrmals ganz löschen, um mein Handy normal nutzen zu können. Ich finde es auch problematisch, dass es keine Möglichkeit gibt, ein Blocker über Nacht zu planen. Man braucht einen bis 23:59 und einen neuen ab 0:00. Die App muss technisch weiterentwickelt werden, um wirklich nützlich zu sein.

Gute Idee, wenn es funktionieren würde

Die Idee fand ich klasse und die Bedienung der App war auch ok - allerdings hat die Einrichtung der Blocker überhaupt nicht funktioniert. Wenn einer aktiviert war, waren die Apps trotzdem nicht gesperrt. Als es dann durch Zufall mal geklappt hat (obwohl es nicht die Apps waren, die konkret ausgewählt wurden), bleiben diese Apps auch nach Ablauf der Zeit gesperrt bzw. generell auch bei inaktiven Blockern - No Go für den Preis!

Okay

Der erste Test ist vielversprechend, aber obwohl striktes blocken eingestellt ist, lässt sich der Blocker über das „Widget“ beenden. Wenn hier ein Fix kommt, gibt es mehr Sterne.

Not free

Has paid version not free

Ich habe immer wieder das Problem, dass…

… die Apps blockiert bleiben, obwohl der Filter und somit Attentive deaktiviert wurden. Auch in Attentive wird mir das so angezeigt. Die betreffenden Apps kann ich dann trotzdem nicht öffnen..

Pretty good, couple flaws

I really like the educational aspect and the encouragement to track triggers that make you pick up your phone, but once I’ve learned and completed a practice sometimes it won’t let me continue it. For example, I can’t add to or see the alternatives list, I can only mark it as done each day. I also cannot add to or see my triggers for personal or work list, I can only mark as complete for the day. If these things were fixed, I’d really love this app! It has reduced my screen time so much.

That's great feedback, thank you! We'll continue to improve the app in the future! Best wishes, - Kerstin

Macht schon Sinn, aber

… ich wollte eine App von 22.30-5.00 Uhr blockieren werktags und irgendwie scheint das nicht zu funktionieren, warum auch immer?

Super, doch nichts für mich👍

Schade, dass viele weitere nützliche Funktionen nur im Abo erhältlich sind.
