## What is BreakFree?

We’ve all seen it: Families at restaurants all looking at their cell phones instead of conversing with each other. Or people walking into walls while looking at their phones. Or someone texting while driving in the car next to you.

A complicated word for cell phone addiction is Nomophobia ("No Mobile Phone Phobia"), or the irrational fear to be without your cell phone. Our app BreakFree will help you fight this fear, reduce cell phone addication and enjoy life! 

Track how much you use your phone, and get results presented in comprehensive graphs. Set personal daily limits to reduce your phone usage time, and find a balance for other important activities in your life!

BreakFree is the only app that also correlates your cell phone usage data with activity data and location. This way, you gain new insights on where you use your phone most, and how your phone usage affects your activity level, another motivational element to be conscious about your phone usage habits!

Features
- Automatically track how much you use for phone
- Compare your cell phone usage with other BreakFree users!
- Correlate your phone usage with your activity levels
- Show your screen time per location
- Set daily limits, and get reminders when you exceed those
- Receive updates during the day on your usage progress
- Results are presented in comprehensive graphs
- Invisible app, just set it up once and you're ready to go!

Continued use of GPS in the background can affect your battery life. BreakFree is designed to use GPS data very sparsely.

NOTE: This app contains an auto-renewable subscription. It is a monthly subscription, and it provides you unlimited playlists, a sleep timer, and removes all ads.

Your account will be charged for renewal within 24-hours prior to the end of the current period. Auto-renewal may be turned off by going to the user's Account Settings after purchase.

### 1/5 — Only works when app is open

*2022-01-10*

This is exactly what I wanted in a screen time app, clean, simple, and not overbearing. Just a reminder to get off every few minutes. However, the app only works when it is open, which is a huge pain. Everything is perfect except for this bug which makes it useless and a waste of my 5 dollars.

### 1/5 — Ads even with purchase?

*2021-08-04*

The app costs $5 for a super simple interface and functionality.  You get all kinds of ads almost any time you open the app and the “premium” wants another $10/year to get rid of the ads.  Give me a break.  Deleted, not worth it.

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2021-07-10, version 3.8*

Paid £4.99 for the app, but you still have annoying adverts and have to pay an annual subscription for all the features!!! Not impressed. At least it has worked at stopping me from using this app! 
I wouldn’t recommend.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2020-09-22, version 3.8*

Used phone for hours and it said 20 minutes!  Doesn’t register pickups either

### 1/5 — Limited functionality

*2020-08-11*

Unimpressed by offering at 3.99. Not worth it. Subscription too expensive for unclear benefits.

### 1/5 — Useless - doesn’t stop the clock when I put down the phone

*2020-08-05*

I purchased BreakFree yesterday to help me break the habit of looking at my phone first thing in the morning when I wake up. I set a limit of 15 minutes. Then… this morning I was wasting time on my phone for over 30 minutes and got no warning from the app. 

Perhaps, I realized, the problem was that the app needed to be open and running in order to work.

I opened up the app and left my phone on the table for a couple hours while I was in another room. 

The whole time, the screen time tracker kept running and running, piling up warnings, while I was not using my phone. 

The app isn’t working correctly, so it’s a waste of $4. I requested a refund from Apple.

### 2/5 — Not Even Slightly Impressed

*2020-07-24*

After having to pay for the initial app, you don’t get an introduction to the application, it’s potential uses, or even its features. Additionally, there are no features except controlling your daily limit of screen time, and if you pay extra, additional back-end analytics on your usage.

Overall, this app is a hoax and waste of money, highly recommend other apps if you’re looking for intuitive and inexpensive ways to limit your smart phone usage.

### 2/5 — Battery drainer

*2020-07-02*

Uses way too much battery power. Uninstalled in less than 2 days

### 1/5 — Don’t do it

*2019-11-12*

Waste of $3. Too many ads

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2019-09-21*

Excellent
