Great app

Barrier is overall better and more valuable than other app blockers. Barrier isnt just a hollow app that gives you nothing unless you pay. It has helped my sleep, productivity, and anxiety. This is the best app blocker on the market.

使いやすいが

非常にシンプルでわかりやすい操作。
だが、ゴブリンモードが簡単に解除できてしまうのと、たまに時間帯ブロックがうまくいかないのは不満。

Best app ever

I have tried so many screen time app and this one by farrrr and it’s free. I have been so much more productive and happier. You can customize what hours of the day you want certain apps off of and it I love the methods to keep you off the app I think it’s so funny and smart. Literally recommending this to everyone I know. 100% try it out!!!!

Super App, gute Funktionsweise

Die App funktioniert sehr gut. Ich konnte meine Bildschirmzeit von 4,5h täglich auf 2h senken. Besonders im Kobold-Modus ist die App sinnvoll, da man dort teilweise 2-3 Minuten Werbung schauen muss und man es sich in dieser Zeit häufig anders überlegt.

Often does not work

When the app works it's fantastic but so often it does not block at the correct times or remains blocked at incorrect times.

Worth it

The exact app I was looking for. Creates resistance when opening a blocked app and has a timer when you open the app to prevent doomscrolling. And it’s free.

Thank you so much for the kind words! 😊 We're so happy Barrier is doing exactly what you were looking for. Hearing that it's helping create just enough resistance to cut down on doomscrolling is exactly why we built it. Thanks for taking the time to leave a review—it really means a lot to our small team and helps more people discover the app. We hope Barrier keeps helping you stay focused! 💙

Blocking

I put a blockiing after 6 Sonja don't doom scroll all night but after a while it stopped blocking me. Idk why. When I go into the app if says its blocked but when I click on an app it isint blocked.

cute funny and effective!!

i downloaded it from positive reviews and the app really did improve to decrease my screentime. goblin mode is so funny especially seeing a picture of my crying face every time i open tiktok haha.

edit after a week: i have found a loophole where after you watch an ad for a 10 minute screentime, the limit does not end unless you click on the app again. an update where shutting the app off after 10 minutes ends would be great.

Not sure if “these adds take the piss” is a good thing or a bad thing😅 The intention is for the ads to be annoying. We hate ads as much as the next person, just makes our users want to open their addictive apps even less! Hopefully they are serving their purpose for you!

AMAZING

this is helping me to stop scrolling calm down, and study,also do more activities!🫶

App Controversy and Irony

I find it ironic that an app, mainly created to prevent doomscrolling, allows ads from TikTok. If this app really cared about helping people's phones addiction, it would not put ads in-between the unlock time, instead simply just a countdown. These admins are just money hungry. This is my only problem the rest of the apps's features work great.

Response from developer

Totally fair criticism! We actually like the “just a countdown” idea too. The reason we use ads is honestly simple: we wanted Barrier to stay free, and the ads help keep the lights on while we keep building the app. There’s also a bit of intentional irony to it. A countdown is already annoying, but having to watch an ad before opening TikTok makes it an even bigger deterrent from doomscrolling. Weirdly enough, that extra friction actually helps a lot of people. And to be fully upfront: yes, the ads make money. We’re okay with that as long as the app is genuinely helping people while staying free to use. Also, a secret that might make this better for you: if you turn on airplane mode before opening a blocked app, the ads can’t load, so you’ll just get the 30 second countdown.
