## What is Escape Goose?

Escape Goose allows you to take control of your digital life in a fun and engaging way with a fun little goose to encourage you. Escape those countless hours you waste on social media, gaming, and other useless activities on your phone. We use an intuitive way to allow you to block sites and apps extremely easily by making it FUN not challenging. It gamifies the experience of self-control. You can block categories and set a duration where the blocking should stay. You can start blocking as soon as you download and install this app! 
In addition to blocking, Escape Goose sets itself apart from other app and web blockers through its GOOSE! This GOOSE can grow by feeding it grain. To gain grain, you have to continue blocking apps and websites (more blocked apps and websites = more grain at a faster rate). Using this grain, you can make your goose grow! You can also use it to decorate your goose habitat to transform its bleak environment to a wonderful landscape. The goose will become a fun companion with you on your journey to escape your digital trap of social media.

### 2/5 — Awful music we can’t turn off

*2025-09-17*

Please tell me I’m wrong and we can turn off the music in some kind of settings thing - I’ve googled it multiple times and can’t find it.

### 3/5 — A Review.

*2025-09-02*

I would give this app a higher score if the “game” itself was not so jank.

First, my praises.
I found this app while trying to find alternatives for apps like Forest and Focus Friends, and some guy was spamming the same paragraph on Reddit under forums about how great this app is, so I decided why not, and gave this a try. 
The core functionality is wonderfully simple and well designed, with the ability to block whatever apps and websites (that are open on Safari at least) on your iPhone. And when I mean block, it blocks that app/website fully; you don’t get the little prompt to “Ignore time limit” or “Ask for more time”. The core functionality of the app, again, is great. It has reduced my screen time over the time I’ve had this app.

I’m going to be honest, I was suspicious of the app at first. No one else on Reddit or other forums I could find advertising or recommending this app, the random reviews (and one seemingly AI generated and copied straight from ChatGPT?) that don’t give much insight into the app itself and honestly, somewhat misleading of the “game” aspect itself.
And about the game, it’s just as advertised — you get more points the more apps and websites you block through the app, and it increases with your day streak as well so you can fill your barren goose land with decor.

So far, the graphics are buggy, there’s no undoing accidentally putting a piece of dirt into the distant horizon, and props like gold coins and “pools or water” overlap and glitch over each other constantly. I can’t even get rid of grass or dirt to replace it with another prop. Even bought the rainbow trail for it to freeze the app completely. To put it bluntly, it’s glitchy and near impossible to “play”.

Overall, great app for the app blocking features, scuffed up game.
Please heed my cries, developers.

### 5/5 — Cured my social media addiction. This is a gift to humanity.

*2025-05-10*

Before I downloaded Escape Goose, I wasted so much time on social media everyday. Instagram, YT Shorts, TikTok, you name it. I felt so much regret afterwards when there was so much more I could do. When I had an urge to go on social media, I would always make up excuses to get me to, such as "just one minute." That minute turned into hours and hours.
