The only thing that has helped!

I usually find ways around the blocked session but this one is difficult so I’ve gotten used to it. It’s been incredible being off my phone.

Freedom review

so far so good

Good but small glitch

I often have to open the Freedom app for a blocking session to register and go into effect/end. Otherwise I’m happy with this has reduced my screen time.

Great for me and managing my kids screentime

Love it

Just amazing no words

Gives you your time back

Disappointing paywall

I was really excited to use this app, especially after taking the short quiz. I then found out that the locked mode (my reason for downloading the app) was behind a paywall. I understand that the developers need to make money somehow (especially with the promise of not sharing/selling personal data), but the cost is just infeasible for me. I wish they showed the difference between a free & paid plan before I downloaded so I wouldn’t have wasted my time.

Great product that they keep improving

I bought Freedom under a lifetime subscription deal years and years ago when they seemed to be floundering and I saw a posting on Upwork where they were even looking for a new lead dev. Back then it was relatively easy to get around the blocks and it was a very monolithic way of setting up the blocks but it’s become much more fine grained since then and I’m glad I gambled on that lifetime deal. It’s something I use often when I need to focus in life and it’s much harder to get around the blocks now for my ADD brain trying to find a distraction. I have it installed on my iPhone, iPad, work PC, and MacBook and it works everywhere.

Bad

I don’t like this app.

Life saver

Sleep during low cognitive hours and be awake and fresh during high cognitive hours where organic focus is higher quality.

found out how to jailbreak it…

this worked amazingly well for the first couple weeks of use UNTIL i figured out i can tweak my device’s VPN settings to prevent the freedom VPN from activating. maybe the developers could figure out a way to lock changes to VPN settings when a session is active?

Jesus loves you

Hello friend, thank you for this app. I have found that it is extremely helpful.


I wanted to tell you that Jesus loves you and He has a plan for your life! Hell is a real place but none of us have to go there!


God loved us all so much that He sent His only Begotten Son Jesus to die for us as a living sacrifice. Jesus paid the price on the cross around 2,000 years ago suffering, bleeding, mutilated and dying on a cross for all our sins.


I invite you today to accept Jesus as your very own Lord and personal Saviour, to repent of all sins in confession before God and be Water Baptised. I then invite you to receive the Baptism of the Holy Ghost in speaking in tongues and also reading the Bible each day.


Thank you for reading friend.

Freedom is a godsend!

I am really enjoying the freedom app, and it only allows me my social media on the weekends. I have so much more free time.

The only thing that is hard is sometimes if my battery gets low, the iphone will shut down the VPN early. But for the most part, its been pretty good

Does the job

Mostly works and seems to be improving all the time . Sometimes annoying as it needs updating and cuts out . But support is speedy to reply

Helpful

I have a phone addiction, I won't deny it. This really helps me focus on work

Waste of time

There are so much better apps out there and even if u can’t find one just make one off and AI. Even that would be so much better than this rubbish

Essential for Creativity, Work & Rest

Stop the pings and the scrolling. Choose to live on your own schedule, not your phone’s. I tried this and stopped for a while, regretted and got it back. Excellent app,

Bad app

Very annoying, but I can’t delete it.

This app saved my life

Not much more to say, severe ADHD, use this every day, saves me hours of my life everyday.

Incredible!

This screen time limit is exactly what you want! Encompasses software and websites alike through screen time management and VPN filtering, I do wish there was a push notification system to get on users for exploiting different session-ending and break features but this definitely does a good job of limiting screen time. Also, the customer support staff are very nice and take feedback very seriously from experience!
