Can’t even start

You try to open the app n literally all you get it with is “get the premium version last offer” and you can’t even exit it and after you wait a whole minute thinking your going to be able to use the app you get hit with another pay wall. thought this was made by christian’s and not people of greed

Flipping Tables

I am tired of seeing these “Christian” apps who claimed they are trying to help with specific things. Help reduce screen time, block websites, essentially help Christians be better. And then they ask for money to do so. It’s worth flipping tables. This is sad, shame on the developers.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I completely understand where you’re coming from. Developing and maintaining an app, however, is unfortunately not free. There are ongoing costs for servers, updates, design, support, and everything that goes into making it work well. Like anyone else, we also need to make a living from the work we dedicate to this project. That said, we truly believe in the mission of helping people reduce screen time and grow spiritually, which is why we’ve made sure that everyone can try all features for free before deciding if it’s worth supporting. I hope this helps explain our perspective.

Costs money

It’s a really cool app and it let me do everything for an introduction and then hit me with a subscription plan screen. it didn’t even have a free version and i don’t hav the kind of money to pay for apps.

Glitch?

I have just started using this app, and it’s really helping. Although, I don’t know if it’s only my problem, after I set up the time locked the apps, whenever I go back to the app,it asks me to get the premium version. I am not able to edit the screen detox times, look at my results/status, and access to the so what called prayer section. Am I the only who is having this problem?

Love it

This has been really helpful and I like that it brings my focus back to God instead of just blocking apps without redirection of my focus. Had a hiccup initially with figuring out how to work it, but it all got worked out. I'm so grateful for this!

Thank you for your kind words. I'm very happy to hear that this is app is helping you.

Good but could improve

I like the app and the concept but the time limits don't always work. I put time limits on certain websites and then it restricts me from using the websites completely instead of for the selected time. I hope that can get worked out because otherwise I like it!

Great app

I like how it adds in the prayer when you attempt to open a blocked app during focus time. It’s also 1/3 the price of Opal

Thank you so much for your Review.

Love it!!

I’ve tried a bunch of screen time apps before, but none of them really helped long-term. What makes Holy Focus different is that it doesn’t just block distractions. It actually replaces them with something meaningful.
I love how it brings me back to prayer and Scripture in the middle of my day, especially when I’d usually get lost in social media. The balance between tech boundaries and spiritual focus is honestly so refreshing. 💛 Highly recommend if you're trying to stay centered and break bad phone habits with God at the center!

Thank you so much for this heartfelt review 💛 We're incredibly encouraged to hear that Holy Focus is helping you reconnect with prayer and Scripture in the middle of your day. That’s exactly what we prayed this app would do. Not just block, but redeem your screen time with God at the center. Your words mean a lot to us. Keep going strong in your walk and we’re here with you every step of the way!

Love it

At first I was a bit confused about how the prayer section worked, but now I actually love the idea behind it. You only unlock the next daily prayer after finishing the one from the day before. Which kind of forces you to slow down and be consistent.
Also, the app gives you full control over what and when to block. I can completely customize the times, days, and specific apps, and even Websites, which is way better than anything I’ve used before.
Super unique concept. It’s not just about blocking apps, it’s about building a healthier rhythm with God at the center.

Thanks so much for taking the time to share this 🙏 I’m really glad the prayer system started making sense. Consistency is such a powerful thing. Great to hear you're enjoying the custom blocking too! Team Holy Focus

Life saver

I downloaded this just out of curiosity, but it’s now part of my daily routine. It’s not just about avoiding distractions – it’s about reconnecting with purpose. Highly recommend it.

Love hearing that! Reconnecting with purpose is exactly what Holy Focus is about. Thank you for giving it a real try. That means a lot! 🙌 Team Holy Focus

This app helps me so much!

It’s crazy how often I reach for my phone without thinking. Holy Focus helps break that habit and reminds me to check in with God instead.

So glad Holy Focus is helping you shift that habit 🙌 It’s exactly why I built the app. To gently bring us back to God throughout the day. Thanks for the encouragement! Team Holy Focus

Exactly what I needed

I’ve tried productivity apps before, but this is the first one that actually brings God into my routine. I love how the verses are short, timely, and somehow always hit the spot
