Was good until they changed it

I got this app a long time ago and have seen it get better and better getting rid of bugs. I was using the workout to unlock features. With a recent update tho it made it so that was a pro feature, and that was the only reason I used the app. So I will be uninstalling and looking for others unless they change it back.

So hard to use

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

Terrible

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

Good

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

Response from developer

Hey, Thanks for your review and for trying out Fitlock. Just to let you know I've recently pushed out an update which should improve the body position detection. I'd love for you to try it out and let me know what you think! All the best, Jake

Apps keep on unlocking

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

It’s good mostly

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

Camera doesn’t work

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

Response from developer

Hi Clarkerson, Thanks for your feedback, we’re really sorry to hear about your experience. The camera tracking should work reliably for push-ups and squats, so it’s frustrating to hear that it didn’t perform as expected for you. We haven’t seen or been made aware of this issue happening to other users, so we’d really like to take a closer look and help you get things working properly. If you’re open to it, please reach out to us at hello@fitlock.io with a bit more detail about your setup (device, environment, etc.), and we’ll do our best to resolve this for you. We appreciate you giving Fitlock a try and hope we can turn this around for you. Best, Jake

Free Options

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

Response from developer

Hi, Thanks for taking the time to try Fitlock and share your feedback, I really appreciate it. I understand that being limited to 2 apps in the free version can feel restrictive. I’m always trying to strike a balance between offering a useful free experience while also supporting the ongoing development and maintenance of the app through the Pro version. Fitlock is designed to provide a lot of value even in the free tier, and the Pro version helps fund new features, improvements, and continued support. That said, I regularly review feedback like yours and will keep it in mind as I continue improving the free offering over time. Thanks again for giving Fitlock a try, and I hope you continue to enjoy using it. If you ever decide you’d like to block more apps, Pro will always be there as an option. All the best, Jake

Just what I needed

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!

Thank you so much for the kind words! I'm thrilled to hear Fitlock helped you cut your screen time and boost your daily steps. Really appreciate you recommending it to your friends! 😊

Would love to leave more stars (fixed!)

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!

Best screen time app I’ve tried

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

This app is preventing me from deleting social media apps

I went onto a full detox goal and I aimed to delete my socials but after downloading this app, it prevents me from doing so for some reason. Very helpful in most other factors though, love this app.

Response from developer

Hi, Thanks so much for your review and for using Fitlock. I’m really glad to hear you’re finding it helpful overall. What you’re seeing is expected behaviour. When a schedule is active in Strict Mode, iOS prevents protected apps from being deleted. This is intentional and helps stop the app from being removed to bypass the restrictions. To delete those apps, you’ll just need to temporarily disable the schedule that’s in Strict Mode, or wait until a time when the schedule isn’t active. I hope that clears things up. If this resolves the issue, I’d really appreciate it if you’d consider updating your review, as it genuinely helps support the app’s growth. All the best, Jake

This is fantastic!

I wanted to lessen screen time and increase steps, and this app forces me to do both. The ability to create your own schedule is fantastic.

Thank you so much for your review. It means a lot 🙏

Idk how to do it

So basically I downloaded thinking it was good but then when I had to set it up it kept saying that there was no data found from apple health so I went on it and I done “ turn in all” but it kept saying data not found and now I am really disappointed and I was going to give 5 stars but because of the problem I gave it 3 stars

Unusable. Everything is paywall nowadays.

Literally could not configure my settings properly because it requires a pro subscription to do so, and locks away apps that I need for work otherwise

Response from developer

Hi there, thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear about your experience. Fitlock actually includes a generous free tier, allowing you to block two apps and use multiple health metrics without needing a subscription. The Pro version is only for users who want more granular control, and it’s priced significantly lower than most Screen Time apps. If something didn’t work as expected, we’d love to help you get set up properly. We hope you’ll consider revisiting your review once you’ve had a chance to try the free features. Thank you for giving Fitlock a try.

Amazing app idea

Amazing app to help you live a healthier lifestyle

Love this app

It is so motivating! Had it for 8months now, was recommended by a friend, and I do wish I had found it ages ago - I was in denial about how much time I spent scrolling, and made excuses for not exercising - this app has really helped me re focus and form new habits…. Thanks so much Fitlock - have lost over half a stone, and built muscle - in 8months, purely due to my changing my routine…. No diet!

More intentional screen time.

Fitlock has been a great motivator to start my day with movement. Limiting app time helps me be more intentional with screen use and focus on work first instead of mindless scrolling.

Response from developer

I'm so glad the app has helped you and thank you so much for the review!

Some suggestions

I like this app a lot, but I’d suggest setting a limit to how many breaks you can take and having a sick day option. Maybe you can earn them as you go along. Also the lock doesn’t always work :/

Response from developer

Thank you for your review and feedback. Currently there is a feature that makes you have to wait longer the more breaks you take. But adding a limit is a great idea, and I really like the idea of a sick day option. I'll add your suggestions to my backlog and hope to implement them soon. 🙂
