### 1/5 — Horrible don’t download

*2026-06-21, version 1.2.1*

I just don’t understand why I have to pay. The point of the app it to get off the phone but why do we have to pay for an app that helps people. Just horrible. Don’t download.

### 4/5 — Add New Features

*2026-04-23*

Overall, I like the app. It’s helped some with screen time, and I like that they added the minutes earned feature cuz that keeps me from unblocking all the apps & getting sucked back in. I’d like to suggest an option where we customize a list of apps to block instead of just categories. For example, every day I go into “social” and select individual apps cuz I can’t select the whole category cuz that’d include text & FaceTime. If I can just create a list of the apps I want to stay off of all day, that’d be way more efficient. Also, I’d love an option where the block kicks on automatically at a certain time. I scroll late & wake up & scroll. If my selected apps automatically locked at 6am, then I’d stop wasting my mornings scrolling. Until then, I’ll try discipline to lock my apps before bed.

### 3/5 — Bug

*2026-03-27*

The new update doesn’t work. It began with me havinging unlock apps for a set time (ex. 15 mins) and it will lock before that set time (ex. 5 mins). And now it won’t let me unlock my apps at all. Considering I pay for that app I don’t expect things like this to happen. I’m spending money on an application that isn’t working.

### 1/5 — Hidden pay to use

*2026-01-12, version 1.1.0*

Makes you fill out a bunch of questions before asking if you want to pay them monthly or yearly to use their app.

### 1/5 — Great idea but

*2026-01-10*

Great idea but you can literally just override it by removing the app you want blocked from the blocked list so it didn’t help me. If I wanted to use the app I could just unblock it in the settings

### 1/5 — Overcharged

*2026-01-04*

Signed up for the $14 plan for the month. Was charged $43! Have contacted the developer and Apple and PayPal and I’m expecting a refund. Absolutely disgraceful and false advertising.

**Developer response:** Hi!

I'm sorry about this, we do all of our billing via Apple and the prices cannot be changed by us, nor can we grant the refund, however you can request it via Apple.

Just to clarify, as Apple handles all of our billing we cannot purposefully overcharge you, however we will work to make the selected plan clearer to avoid any confusion

### 1/5 — Paid Only

*2026-01-02*

Wish there was a free version even to lock one app. Love the idea but who can afford this kind of thing nowadays

### 1/5 — Disappointing

*2025-12-28*

You cant even test the app or do anything after answering their questions. It immediately asks for a subscription. You cant see the features, how the apps word or if its even that good.

### 1/5 — Stopped working

*2025-12-22*

Honestly for having to pay this app is super disappointing, it literally stopped working I forgot about the app, no matter how many times I undo the block apps and redo it, it doesn’t work, again for an app that makes you pay to use it I would think they’d have more features as well or different goals you can put for different apps, it’s just not what I thought it would be

**Developer response:** Hi Stawrp!

We're sorry to hear this. 

Please can you email us as we'd like to investigate this issue and make sure it's solved!

Thank you for the recommendation on the different goals for different apps!

### 1/5 — DO NOT INSTALL

*2025-12-18*

This app uses Screen Time in a way that can permanently disable app deletion on iPhone. After installing it, my phone stopped allowing apps to be deleted (only “Remove from Home Screen”).
There is no easy fix. Apple’s only solution is a full reset without restoring backups. This is a serious system level issue and users are NOT properly warned. Do not install!!!!!!!!

**Developer response:** Hi Jojo!

Please feel free to email us and we'll help you fix this asap!

You should only be unable to delete apps when "hard mode" is engaged in your settings, however if you need a workaround, you can go into your settings, and disable screen time controls for our application and you'll be able to bypass it and delete.

No need for a full reset!
