Response from developer

Hi, thanks for the feedback! The free version is fully functional and includes everything you need for the core experience. We do offer a PRO version with some extra features, which helps us keep improving the app and building new features regularly. We really appreciate your understanding - and if you have any specific feedback on what you'd like to see in the free version, feel free to reach out anytime! 😁

So annoying

They expect us to get away from our own and now we have to pay for the app. It was perfectly fine until I have to pay for it and we get a trial for seven days

Response from developer

Thank you for your feedback! 😊 Just to clarify - Blocus still offers free features that you can use without any payment! 🙌 The Pro version unlocks additional tools, and the 7-day free trial gives you full access to everything so you can explore all features before deciding. 🎉 We hope you give it a try — we're always working hard to make Blocus better for you!

Only app that provides friction rather than total block

What I found made Blocus unique, and what I was specifically looking for and went through a whole bunch of blocking apps to find, was an app that provided friction to screentime, without just wholesale blocking it, and also provides full flexibility regarding the time schedule of that friction. No other app provides that as far as I could find. There's always legitimate reasons to use an app so I dislike the total-block approach, and I also don't want to get into the mindset of seeing screentime as reward, as some other apps require (Blocus has that as an option, not requirement). I love the way Blocus stops me wasting my time just by forcing me to ask “do I really care enough about using this app to do some maths puzzle?” and it works! My one request would be an option to restrict the unblock period options. I’d like to not give myself the option to allow a whole 30m unblocked. [confirmed this already exists, see dev response - Blocus is perfect!]

Response from developer

Thank you so much for the thoughtful review! 😊 We’re really happy to hear that Blocus’s friction-based approach is exactly what you were looking for. We designed it to help users pause and make a conscious decision before opening distracting apps, rather than relying solely on hard blocks. Regarding your suggestion: this feature already exists! 🎉 You can customize the available unblock duration options in Settings → App Settings, allowing you to remove longer unlock periods such as 30 minutes if you’d prefer stricter limits. Thank you again for your support and for taking the time to share your experience. Feedback like yours helps us continue improving Blocus! 🚀
