However there were a few glitches when I created a selection for studying I chose for it to hide my apps so I didn’t get distracted, but it still showed them and no longer worked so I had to keep creating a new selection which was a pain. ### 2/5 — hate the new update *2024-03-12, version 1.0.54* i loved this app because it was a way to cut of distractions and keep track of it and it was really cool, but now with the new update you only get three sessions per week?? i used them all up in one day. this is stupid please change it back to how it was otherwise i have to find a new app 😭 ### 5/5 — Amazing *2024-03-12, version 1.0.54* Loveee ### 2/5 — Disappointed with session limit *2024-03-12, version 1.0.54* The app was really helping me get off my phone to study and they've recently changed it so you only have 3 sessions to unplug a week, which I used in 1 day. ### 2/5 — loved this app until new feature *2024-03-10, version 1.0.54* fym only 3 unplug sessions per week????? that is ridiculous and the subscription is js not worth it for that much money a month ### 3/5 — Review *2024-03-10, version 1.0.54* I was loving this app for the first day to remove those distractions up until I realised that you could only use it 3 times a week and not limitless unless you pay, which is ridiculous. I had used it already all in one day. If I’m going to have to make so many new accounts so I can use this as it was useful then that’s disappointing and I would need to find another app as the free trial is so expensive! ### 5/5 — Concentrating *2024-03-05, version 1.0.52* Perfect for concentrating ### 5/5 — Exactly what I needed😍 *2024-02-27, version 1.0.51* i really struggle with scrolling paralysis and addiction to these stupid apps but this app just makes them disappear it’s so refreshing 😍 and means i can still have them to save my accounts on them and still be able to update my accounts 🫶 it’s so good for revision because my phone is the main distractor to not revising 😶 tysm for making this app ilysm 💖💖💖 ### 5/5 — Great for studying *2024-02-22, version 1.0.49* My parents made me get this app to focus on my exams. It’s been great and really helped me focus. I’ve got much more revision done so hopefully my exams will go well now! ### 5/5 — Great support for study *2024-02-21, version 1.0.49* This app has really helped and supported my daughter achieve balance in her studies and revision. Super tool ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Why only 3 sessions *2025-04-15, version 1.0.60* I loved it until I realised that I could only have 3 study sessions a week I wish you would use adds instead of limiting the sessions please notifi me if anything changes because I would love to use this app but for now I am going to look for alternative ### 1/5 — Worst app I’ve ever used *2024-10-19, version 1.0.60* Don’t bother downloading Ugly Useless Full of bugs ### 1/5 — Used to be great *2024-04-03, version 1.0.55* Unfortunately this app seems to have become unusable due to its emphasis on subscription. I used to really enjoy the app and it genuinely did help and was a great tool to prevent distractions. However recently they have clearly gone down a root of trying to get more money out of users and have made it impossible to use without a subscription, this is really disappointing. So unfortunately instead of studying I’m here writing this review and I am hoping that it will make a difference because as I stated before it was genuinely really helpful and I’m just hoping it can return back to the way it was. ### 1/5 — It was once good.. *2024-03-27, version 1.0.55* Awesome app that helps you study easily from distractions - I recommend! … That was until they limited the study sessions to 3 times a week. Just a few months ago, they had unlimited sessions with an Erika unlimited option which gave actual rewards for studying - which seemed totally fair and worth it - I was even considering getting it when I was older. However it seems the developers of Erika, just like so many others, felt that the money they were receiving from that wasn’t enough. Could they not have used advertisements, like many other apps, instead? I am so disappointed - I loved this app and got so excited when I was going to study because I knew I was saved from distracting apps that I couldn’t uninstall. Instead of studying, I’m having to write this review and stop other poor students wasting their time on this app. Thank you for the brief time it was actually useful - looks like I’m going to waste even more time finding another app that can do this but without charging me. Yippy. ### 1/5 — review *2024-03-18, version 1.0.54* i was loving erika, i used it for my revision until a new update was released where it limits how much you can use the feature to only 3 sessions? you have to pay for unlimited sessions which i just think is ridiculous 😭 ### 1/5 — Makes you pay *2024-03-10, version 1.0.54* I used to love this app when I could block my apps anytime I wanted. They’ve now nonsensically added a payment plan which restricts you from using it unless you subscribe. I’ve uninstalled the app and so have my friends…rubbish. ### 1/5 — Bad *2024-03-02, version 1.0.52* When i went to unselect the hidden apps, non of the apps were appearing so i had to delete it ### 1/5 — Wont allow sign in *2024-02-25, version 1.0.50* I’ve been trying to sign into it for so long now. I entered my phone number and it says that it’s not a valid number, although I’ve retyped it in multiple times making sure i don’t get it wrong. I also tried using my email but it’s still acting up and tells me to check that i’ve written it correctly. I keep on refreshing the app and trying again but it doesn’t seem to do anything. Please check this because it seems like i’m not the only one with this problem. ### 1/5 — PLEASE HELP MY APPS ARE GONE!! *2024-02-21, version 1.0.49* won’t let me use the app at all. signed up then told me i had unstable network no matter what i did or where i was, tried it the next day and it tried to make me sign up again and now it won’t even let me sign up, i think it’s a good concept but it just won’t let me use it UPDATE: worked so i used it to study tried to turn my apps back on and they are all gone and so i deleted the app and now i have none of my apps please help ### 1/5 — It won’t work *2024-02-19, version 1.0.48* It isn’t letting me sign up , and it keeps saying oops something went wrong please try again ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — A great app for mums who are mindful of too much screen time in front of the kids!!! *2026-01-06, version 1.0.72* If you’re looking for a really easy way to take time away from your phone, especially the more addictive apps, then this is the one to download. It has really changed my habits and I recommend to anyone, particularly any parents who want to demonstrate healthy social media behaviour / phone use to their kids. ### 5/5 — Great App! *2025-06-25, version 1.0.66* Fantastic app for concentration and getting work done! ### 5/5 — A great app for mums who are mindful of too much screen time in front of the kids!!! *2025-05-19, version 1.0.65* If you’re looking for a really easy way to take time away from your phone, especially the more addictive apps, then this is the one to download. It has really changed my habits and I recommend to anyone, particularly any parents who want to demonstrate healthy social media behaviour / phone use to their kids. ### 5/5 — Great App! *2025-05-15, version 1.0.65* Really easy to use when needing to focus. Mentoring feature is cool too - looking forward to seeing it develop. ### 5/5 — Amazing app, works perfectly! *2024-09-02, version 1.0.60* I use this app to switch off when studying for my exams, and it’s amazing. It temporarily takes apps off your Home Screen, without logging you off or deleting them. Thanks so much Erika! ### 5/5 — Fab *2024-05-04, version 1.0.60* Great app that allows me to revise well for my a levels and focus, the scheduled switch offs are brilliant. ### 5/5 — Such a helpful app *2024-04-21, version 1.0.56* I love this app, I love how it hides the apps of my choosing from view so even if I look at my Home Screen I am not able to access them, it means I can really focus on what I’m doing without distraction even when I’m tempted. ### 5/5 — amazing *2024-04-21, version 1.0.56* the erika app is really good and really helps me focus to study it’s easy to use and has helped reduce my screen time i find it really helpful too and the price is very cheap if your on the plus contract i would recommend this app to anyone trying to focus when studying or limiting time you spend on your phone once again it’s an amazing app!! ### 5/5 — amazing app *2024-04-21, version 1.0.56* this app is so good for people unable to focus for long periods of time, it’s definitely helped me and i would 100% recommend for those who have important exams coming up ### 5/5 — Good app especially because it’s free *2024-03-17, version 1.0.54* It encourages me to not go on the app/website that u shouldn’t and keeps my mind free and my time --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
