The app is working for many users also on the iPhone 14 Pro Max. Could you please send me an email getbreaktime@gmail.com and I'll help you resolve this. Thanks, Nathan ### 3/5 — Good app, update broke it *2025-11-25* Loved the app at first, and used it to block Narwhal (Reddit third party app), and the YouTube Chrome page. I was so happy with it that I even paid to be a subscriber even though I’m only blocking two links. Sadly, somehow an update broke it and now can’t block YouTube at all. Not the regular desktop address, or the mobile address. Now I’m stuck doom scrolling YouTube reels again when I wish it was blocked. Pls fix :( I had to unsub since it’s just not working anymore **Developer response:** Hi! The app is still working for all our other users on the new update. Could you please send an email to getbreaktime@gmail.com and I'll help you resolve any issues. ### 3/5 — iPhone *2025-10-26* Dorsnt work on iPhone 16e **Developer response:** Hi! The app works for many users also on the iPhone 16. Could you please send me an email to getbreaktime@gmail.com and I'll help you resolve any issues. Thanks, Nathan ### 4/5 — More accountability *2025-10-27* If you make it harder to get breaks like limiting how many you can take in a day that’s would be great you can late a setting where you pick between just trying to get better or hardcore mode where you have a daily limited break. **Developer response:** Thanks so much for the feedback! That's a great idea and we'll look at implementing it in the future! For now, I suggest looking into setting a longer start break delay to make it harder or use strict mode! Thanks, Nathan ### 4/5 — Reel stopper *2025-09-15, version 1.2.6* No more reels (propaganda and brainrot) ### 5/5 — Easy *2026-06-21, version 1.6.9* Very clan and easy to use. It’s genuinely helped me stay off my phone and focus. ### 5/5 — I wish i had download this sooner *2026-06-19* Its free too, all the other ones are payed, this feels like the developers are really great people ### 5/5 — I suggest this app *2026-03-26* Only app that works for me and is cheap too **Developer response:** Hey Dane, thank you for the kind feedback! ### 5/5 — Premium *2026-02-28* I would buy premium if it had a feature where you could limit the amount of breaks or break time in a day, but otherwise this app is great **Developer response:** Hey Dane, thanks for the feedback, we've released this feature! ### 5/5 — Premium *2026-02-26* I would buy premium if it had a feature where you could limit the amount of breaks or break time in a day but otherwise this app is great ## Most praised reviews (5 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great for students *2025-11-29, version 1.5.5* Ok so im a student who struggles so much with distractions and social interactions while studying, and right before my mocks i discovered breaktime, and my revision time per day went from about 45minutes to 3 hours! Its genuinely a lifesaver either for trying to get healthy habits or preventing distraction! I honestly couldnt reccomend it leas ### 5/5 — This is a really good app *2025-11-28, version 1.5.5* Wow I thought this was going to be a bad app but apparently not it’s super good and it works I don’t go on social media as much but the only thing is that you need to contribute to it as well in order for it to work but I love this app I wish 10 stars would be a thing ### 5/5 — Amazing App *2025-11-12, version 1.4.0* Dope app to use. No fuss and easy to get you back on track. Thank you! ### 5/5 — IT’S AMAZING AND I’M NOT KIDDING WHEN I SAY IT HAS HELPED SO MUCH!! *2025-10-11, version 1.3.4* Okay so I’ve only had the app for a bit, but it’s already improved my work efficiency a lot! Usually I spend hours just scrolling YouTube, but thanks to the restrictions it makes me feel more in control of my timing and I’ve been able to do so much of the work I’ve been putting off, and still able to enjoy my breaks knowing that the app manages my time so I don’t fall into those traps of “just five more minutes”. The delay is also a really cool feature which stopped me taking too many breaks and actually made me be honest with myself. Overall, this app is worth all the five stars and I would definitely recommend it! :) ### 5/5 — Convenient and Productive *2025-08-21, version 1.2.3* Amazing app to use to stay on track with your productivity goals. Would definitely recommend it for all users, especially people looking for a forest alternative! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
