Will not work
Response from developer
I’m sorry about this. But that could be a feature you switched ON. What you’re seeing could be because: when Deep Block is on, iOS locks the Safari extension switch in place, which is part of how Escape keeps protection from being switched off in a weak moment. Can you please turn Deep Block off in Escape? go through cooldown if you have strict mode and then you’ll be able to flip the Safari switch on under Settings, Apps, Safari, Extensions, Escape, then turn Deep Block back on. If you don’t use Deep Block, could you confirm your Screen Time setting: Settings, Screen Time, Content & Privacy Restrictions, Content Restrictions, Web Content, set it to Unrestricted and then your switch comes alive. Adult sites stay blocked either way. If it still won’t move, email me at support or sam@escapethegrip.com and I’ll sort it with you personally. If we’re able to resolve this, we’d really appreciate you considering updating your review. Reviews make a huge difference in supporting our passionate team and helping others discover Escape. Thank you for giving us a chance to make this right! – Sam, Escape Team
Honest app
Response from developer
The free version covers Safari blocking, while Premium adds protection across ALL browsers as well as app blocking and our deeper recovery features. We’re a small team putting a huge amount of work into making Escape better and genuinely useful for people trying to take back control. We also try to personally help whenever someone runs into an issue, so please reach out anytime if there’s a feature you’d like to see. If Escape has been helpful for you, we’d really appreciate a 5-star rating. It makes a big difference for a small team like ours and helps more people discover the app. ❤️
Honestly worth it.

Thank you so much. Really glad Escape is giving you that extra bit of friction when you need it. And I really appreciate the feedback and improvement ideas too. Sam
Actually cares

Thank you. One of our main goals was to keep even the free version genuinely helpful. I appreciate your recommendation. Sam
Great app, great support, completely worth it!
Response from developer
Beautifully said. Thank you for writing this out. Reviews like yours are what help someone on the fence decide to try. Glad the Browser blocking is working for you. The resources side is something we care about a lot. Blocking surely buys you time but understanding why it’s happening is what makes it stick. Also, thank you for reporting those bugs as that kind of feedback is how the app gets better. More good things are coming soon.
