I love how simple and not complicated it is to work your way through the app. Works like a charm and worth every penny!!
If you setup the Shortcuts app to close the VPN deletion loophole then this app’s impulse prevention mechanism is airtight. This is literally the best app that exists.
The amount of IT support messaging and screenshots you need to fix it whenever you attempt to use it is insane. Most useless app I have ever bought.

Thank you
Really clean app and Fin from the support team is an absolute gem.
👏
If you use a VPN on your devices and don’t want to compromise your privacy, this app is not for you. It utilizes its on VPN profile to work so you have to disconnect yours.
I actually forgot I had this and went back to using it recently - it’s SO effective!! And even though I can take a 5 mins break when blocked, I at least negotiate if that’s really necessary or not, and I don’t get lost in a scroll for 45 mins without realising! Great functionality, worth it :)
I need to click on scheduled session every time
This app has helped me a lot with controlling how much time I spend on YouTube. I used to waste hours watching videos without realizing how much time had passed. Freedom helped me break that habit, stay focused, and get those hours back. Definitely worth it!
Extremely helpful for supporting my neurodivergent brain.
I tried this app but decided it wasn’t for me. I had just missed the auto charge date and requested a refund well within the normal 30 day window, but it was denied. I can’t recommend it.
I’ve tried many. This is the first app that actually delivers on iOS app control. Kudos
It’s the best app blocker I’ve found for IOS 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Decent UI with a simple design, but it doesn’t fully look you out of an app so it’s just a cleaner UI paid version of the native iOS feature :/
On the first day of using this, I got more focused computer work done than in the last year and half. Incredibly useful tool for my adhd brain.
This app not allowed to unsubscribe, is very dangerous don’t touch it
The app works fine but I deleted it recently because my battery is suddenly draining fast. I went to redownload it and accidentally clicked the sign up button. There needs to be a way to cancel the new user on-boarding! It is so frustrating it delete then redownload the app to cancel it.
Literally feel like it’s helped me get my life back. Strongly recommend to everyone.
