### 1/5 — So hard to use

*2026-07-19, version 1.6.05*

I did 40 pushups to earn an hour and it won’t let me use my hours so stupid

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2026-07-05, version 1.6.05*

When downloaded the app, it would not delete as it had set a screen time password without me knowing

### 4/5 — Good

*2026-06-10, version 1.6.04*

I like the concept but the camera doesn’t always work for the push up feature for me otherwise has helped limit my screentime

### 3/5 — Apps keep on unlocking

*2026-05-14, version 1.6.04*

apps keep on unlocking on their own. defeats the purpose.

### 3/5 — It’s good mostly

*2026-05-10, version 1.6.03*

The idea for the app is good and most of it works perfectly but one problem is the push-up recognition which I feel works about half the time but when it does it’s amazing. I feel this app is only held back by what just a little bit more effort could fix

### 1/5 — Camera doesn’t work

*2026-04-24, version 1.6.01*

Camera completely unable to track my push ups or squats, no matter where I put the camera. Waste of time and money

### 4/5 — Free Options

*2026-02-13, version 1.4.07*

Please make it so without paying you are able to block 5 apps, instead of 2.

### 5/5 — Just what I needed

*2026-01-25, version 1.4.06*

After spending a few too many nights being unproductive and mindlessly scrolling, I thought, there must be something out there to help me increase my step count and decrease screen time. Fitlock has worked wonders in helping me reach my goals! After about 6 months of using this app as intended, my overall screen time is half what it used to be and I’ve more than tripled my daily steps. I tried a few similar apps (there really only are a few out there) and this one is easily the best overall. I am so glad I found it, and I’ve been recommending it to all of my friends!

### 5/5 — Would love to leave more stars (fixed!)

*2026-01-22, version 1.4.06*

Helpful response from the developer, plus the upgrade recommended has fixed this. I can now manually select sites/apps to block without the checklist crashing, meaning I can select Reddit and set the schedule to the strictest setting, while still being able to use search engines and weather apps on my phone. Looking forward to all the saved screen time or moving more!

### 5/5 — Best screen time app I’ve tried

*2026-01-17, version 1.4.04*

This app is great! Was looking for something like this.
