Horrible
This app is easy to control but the websites and apps don’t block even after you set things up. I want to block websites to avoid temptation but this app will not let me block anything and it irks me to buy the subscription, it doesn’t restrict any websites nor apps even after I followed the instructions. Do better

Great but small issue
Hi, I have been using this app for nearly a year now to help me with university and it’s been great so far except that recently a bug keeps happening. Basically every time I go to pause for a 10 minute break it instead crashes the whole app and I have bad self-control so I often take more than 10 minutes before reopening it. It needs to be fixed because it’s now too easy to disable it. (also another work around is that with pro and the ability to make multiple filter its possible to make a website accessible while blocked and I think the block should prevail above the accessible filter. UPDATE: The new apple update somehow fixed the issue so all is good now.

One fix would be next level
Prevent uninstalling the app :)
Excellent app, needs update to Tahoe
This app is excellent. However, the functionality of blocking apps in Tahoe is not quite right - it doesn’t block them outright, but prevents them being onscreen. Wonder if the developer could please update this software, and then I’ll update the review

Doesn’t have all the apps
It’s really too early to leave it a review, but it prompted so I’ll go based on what I know so far.
It seems a little buggy and doesn’t know about several of the apps I use.
Interested to see if it actually works.
Update I’ve finished the janky setup process and it says it’s saved me loads of time already and asked for another review. It still hasn’t blocked a single app yet.

Ochi:Block Websites & App
Limit Screen Time Control
It helps
I almost went down a spiral again, I forgot I had the app and it worked just in time and reminded me what I was doing.
Great app
Works great! Keeps all my addictive apps from opening.
Does what it says.
You gotta hand it to ‘em. It does what it says! The pro option ain’t cheap, but the free version has more than enough for 99% of folks.
What is this?
It sounds great but I can't figure out how to set it up. If you have some instructions I am interested, otherwise I will unsubscribe in 2 days before the charge is incurred
Dont use - Doesnt work
Spent $20 on this. Doesnt work at all. Do not use.
Works as Advertised
Blocks websites I want to block
Horrible
Tried the free version and it failed to block sites in Safari when I followed the steps. Additionally, it is flawed because it only works in Safari and not all browsers on your phone.
Why is this so hard?
I just want to block a couple websites, why is that so hard?
Yes, did all the steps, Yes I made sure the extension was enabled, Yes, I am using ios 17+
Set up the site I wanted to block, loaded the website - wasn’t blocked at all.😑

Don’t work for websites
I blocked some specific websites but all you have to do to bypass it is hit the back button and that’s it.
Only saying so this can be fixed and the app can improve

Not great in practice
Very unreliable and messy to setup. Filters often don’t work as expected with no clarity on how to fix it, reliance on shortcuts is messy, FAQ gives no troubleshooting suggestions. Support email bounces back. Ultimately disappointing.
Don’t purchase
This app is way too complex and doesn’t seem to work. You have to create separate shortcuts in the iOS shortcuts app for every single app you want to block. Then you have to create a filter but when I did that it didn’t actually stop me opening the app. Because they didn’t give a free trial period on the monthly pay option I’ve lost $7.49 for an app that is awful. Other blocking apps at least allow you to select groups of apps … don’t try this one

Really good. It has the blocking option for every app and website and it doesn’t get disabled until I disable it.
Response from developer
Thanks for the kind review! Great to hear you're finding Ochi super helpful. Enjoy!
No Technical Support
I love this app and have been using it for some time now. However, when the app started automatically deleting my filters for some strange reason, I sent out three emails for technical support and received no response. I was quite disappointed considering how much I benefited from the app, but the owner/creator seems incapable of or unwilling to assist his customers. Again, disappointing :(
