User reviews

Excellent app! BUT

I really like the Detox Lock feature. However, I found a serious bug while using it.

When the app is in Detox Lock mode, I can go to Settings → Screen Time → Apps with Screen Time Access, where I found the Detox Lock app. If I tap on it and enable/access the permission, the entire Detox Lock gets removed instantly.

This seems to completely bypass the purpose of the lock and could make it very easy to disable Detox Lock unintentionally.

Please look into this issue and fix it so that Detox Lock cannot be removed or bypassed through the Screen Time settings while Detox Lock mode is active. Otherwise, the app is excellent and has a lot of potential.

Hello! It must have been frustrating that the lock could be bypassed by simply turning off the permission yourself. You can prevent this by setting a passcode on Screen Time itself. Please go to [Settings → Screen Time → Lock Screen Time Settings] and set a passcode (iOS 26.4 or later). However, since setting it yourself would mean you know the passcode and defeat the purpose, we recommend asking a family member or friend to set it for you. As a secondary measure, you can also add the Settings app itself to your lock list. For how to do this, please check the "I want to lock the Settings app too" item in the FAQ below and follow the video exactly as shown. https://addictionlabs.notion.site/Frequently-Asked-Questions-FAQ-1c402a81552780d9ac28e6d1aaa58f40 ※ AI auto-reply sent for a quick response.

お願い

いつもありがたく利用させていただいてます。ですが、2点、改善をご検討いただきたい点があります。
制限の際、設定をひらけてしまうので、ショートカットを使った方法を使っているのですが「設定を押して、ショートカットに飛び、ショートカットをロックしているので開けないというふうになるんですが、『<設定』を押すと開けてしまう」という問題解決してほしいです。
もう一つありまして、「斜め上にスライドしてコントロールの画面を出してWiFiの画面を出し下の『WiFi設定』を押すとショートカットの技を使っていても開けてしまいます」
気づいてしまったので、たまにやってしまいます。
意思でどうにかできないこともないのですが、どうにかそれらも不可能にしていただきたいです。
お願いします。

こんにちは。ご自身で権限をオフにして解除できてしまう点、もどかしく感じられたことと思います。これはスクリーンタイム自体にパスコードをかければ防げます。[設定 → スクリーンタイム →「スクリーンタイム設定をロック」]でパスコードを設定してください(iOS 26.4以上)。ただし、ご本人が設定するとパスコードが分かってしまい無効になるので、ご家族やご友人に代わりに設定してもらうことをおすすめします。 補助として、設定アプリ自体をロック対象に追加していただくのもよいでしょう。方法は下記のよくある質問の「設定アプリもロックしたい」の項目にある動画を見て、そのとおりに進めてください。 https://addictionlabs.notion.site/1c402a8155278048a70efcac0a10cf7f ※ 迅速なご案内のためAI自動返信をお送りしています。追加のお問い合わせは csdetoxlock2+ai@gmail.com まで。

안녕하세요. 예약이 의도한 대로 동작하지 않아 불편을 드려 죄송합니다 ㅠ.ㅠ 기존 예약을 지우고 새로 만들어 주시면 대부분 정상으로 돌아옵니다. 평일과 주말을 하나의 예약으로 묶어두셨다면 '평일용'과 '주말용'으로 나눠서 만들어 주시는 편이 더 안정적이에요. 새로 만드신 뒤에도 같은 증상이 이어지면 알려주세요. ※ 빠른 답변을 위해 질문 종류에 맞는 AI 자동답변이 발송되고 있어요. 추가 문의는 csdetoxlock2+ai@gmail.com 으로 보내주세요.

너무 좋아요.

너무 좋아요!! 핸드폰 끊임없이 못놓고 쇼츠랑 릴스 보다가 하루가 가는 느낌이여서 깔아서 구독했어요. 학생 할인 있는거 정말 감사드려요! 앱 덕분에 제가 더 많은 시간을 가지게 된 것 같아요. 정말 감사드립니다!! 진짜 절때 풀리지 않고 아직은 유혹을 견디는게 힘들지만 삶에 너무 도움이 됩니다! 핸드폰 중독 대학생 완전 추천!

(하루에 앱 시간 제한 같은 기능이 있으면 좋을것 같아요 예: 하루 30분 유튜브 허용)

Response from developer

안녕하세요. 잠글시간 앱 개발자입니다. 구독까지 해주시고 이렇게 따뜻한 후기 남겨주셔서 정말 감사드려요 🙏 앱이 삶에 도움이 된다니 저희도 큰 힘이 됩니다! 말씀 주신 '하루 일정 시간만 앱 허용' 기능도 필요성 충분히 이해했어요. 앞으로 검토해보겠습니다. 학업도 응원할게요, 파이팅입니다! 💕 ※ 빠른 답변을 위해 질문 종류에 맞는 AI 자동답변이 발송되고 있어요. 추가 문의는 csdetoxlock2+ai@gmail.com 으로 보내주세요.
