Maybe you can earn them as you go along. Also the lock doesn’t always work :/ ### 3/5 — Great potential *2025-01-11, version 1.1.12* I was enjoying this app until it started to have glitches. The steps didn’t sync and it took forever to load. Unfortunately had to delete. ### 5/5 — More productive more active *2024-03-18, version 1.0.5* Ever since I’ve downloaded the app I’ve stopped the endless scrolling which has led to me becoming more productive and more active! ### 5/5 — Incredible app *2023-11-20, version 1.0.3* I never realised how much time I spent on my phone. This app is really encouraging me to spend more time outdoors & connecting with family/friends more often 👌 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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 ### 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 ### 1/5 — Unusable. Everything is paywall nowadays. *2025-12-04, version 1.3.03* 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 ### 2/5 — Glitchy *2024-09-26, version 1.1.12* Even when you turn a schedule off it still blocks the app. Even after deleting fitlock some apps were still blocked for a short time. The only exercise you can do to unlock is steps, none of the many other Apple health activities seem to be supported - not exactly accessible. More walk lock than fit lock! The website seems to be constantly under maintenance, many buttons in the app don’t work or direct to a website under maintenance screen. It has potential but I certainly won’t be paying for a subscription to an seemingly unfinished app. ### 2/5 — Great concept, kinda worked, but buggy *2024-09-17, version 1.1.12* I was excited for this app and set up the schedules fine and all, but it just seems it’s still too early in development and buggy. The steps didn’t always sync and didn’t always lock or unlock in real time. I have a feeling once the kinks get worked out it has a lot of potential, but for now I’ll just try to keep myself accountable with screen time and check back for software updates. ### 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 ### 3/5 — This app is preventing me from deleting social media apps *2026-01-16, version 1.4.04* 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. ### 3/5 — Idk how to do it *2025-12-24, version 1.3.03* 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 ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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. ### 5/5 — This is fantastic! *2026-01-07, version 1.4.01* 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. ### 5/5 — Amazing app idea *2025-10-25, version 1.3.03* Amazing app to help you live a healthier lifestyle ### 5/5 — Great App *2025-07-09, version 1.3.01* Just Wanted to give everyone an honest review, the app is very great overall! It is such a steal of a price for premium! The app has full functionality and has great settings. Also the Jake is very kind and very fast responding for only being one person, Overall I would totally recommend this app to everyone! ### 5/5 — Love this app *2025-07-06, version 1.3.01* 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! ### 5/5 — More intentional screen time. *2025-04-19, version 1.3.0* 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. ### 5/5 — Amazing app idea *2025-02-10* Amazing app to help you live a healthier lifestyle **Developer response:** Thank you so much for your review. We're glad you're enjoying Fitlock 🚀 ### 5/5 — Creative idea, great execution *2025-02-09, version 1.2.11* Creative idea, great execution --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
