Too expensive
I would totally pay $1.60 or whatever it is a month. But that’s not an option. You have to pay for a year up front which is $19.99 a year. Most people are not gonna want to pay $20 bucks for something, they would much rather be allowed to pay 1.60 something a month. You’d probably make more money with this app if you offered more flexible and realistic payment options. Cuz it’s a great concept. But yeah way too much up front cost.

Just Basic
The app fundamentally lacks essential features, such as the ability to insert images or media directly from the photo library, relying solely on the camera. Additionally, the built-in text editor is quite limited in functionality, and there appears to be no way to delete images once they are added.
Non-Functional
They will happily accept your money for a subscription, but will not respond when you report an error via email. Do not recommend.
Greatest ever
I love this app. I used it for quite a long time for college because I was procrastinating by going on social media so much. At some point I ended up having to delete it because I was finding work arounds but have finally downloaded it again because I get so sucked into instagram daily. One sec my goat. I tried using opal for a change of pace but immediately got annoyed with how it is set up and came back to one sec.

Works
Sometimes I delete this because I get pissy about waiting 30 seconds to scroll, only to discover that I’m totally cooked without it.
Took away features for free users
Guess I’m too poor to benefit from an app like this. Raising the price and taking away options I already had is insulting. I genuinely enjoyed this app until it stopped allowing me to use it without paying a large recurring fee. Sad.
Massively useful app and great devs
This app is great for controlling my problematic social media use and when I pointed out an issue I hit, the devs communicated closely and fixed it!
Doesn’t work sometimes
Sometimes it just doesn’t open and skips the screen and goes to the app
I just delete the app
I’ve always tried these type of apps but they never actually work because I just delete the app
good until they got greedy
this really helps, keeps you from opening the apps instinctively and if I set the intro time really long I usually just get irritated and give up on opening the app. However the free version now only lets you have it configured for one app which is just ridiculous. Having app switching locked behind the subscription was already enough as that was super irritating and would’ve been worth paying money for.

BLOCK
it dosent let me block every app
Expensive
Don’t get me wrong, this is a great concept! I love all the features, it’s a life saver for stopping this kind of addiction. But… a lot of the features including main ones advertised require a subscription. $20 a year or $1.66 a month is not bad for a subscription, but in my opinion not something I’d pay for an app. Once again, great concept, but quite expensive.

Might as well look up shortcuts
This app is not worth the money. You basically have to do everything yourself and it is essentially just a container for some explainer videos on how to use shortcuts. And, worst of all, it didn’t even work after I went through the steps. Avoid this app!
Worth every penny!
This is the only app that has truly had an impact on reducing my doom scrolling and I’m so grateful!
محودیتاش حتی بعد از پاک کردن هم برداشته نمیشه

1 звезда. Это одно из самых опасных приложений, которые я когда-либо устанавливал.
Я случайно активировал блокировку всех приложений, будучи абсолютно уверенным, что смогу легко отключить её внутри самого приложения или хотя бы после удаления приложения. Но оказалось иначе.
После активации блокировки мой iPhone буквально превратился в кирпич на целый час. Не работало почти ничего: приложения были заблокированы, камера не открывалась, телефон стал практически бесполезен.
Самое ужасное: удаление приложения НЕ сняло блокировку. Даже сброс настроек iPhone до заводских параметров НЕ помог. Я перепробовал всё, включая настройки Screen Time, но безрезультатно.
Единственным способом вернуть телефон к жизни оказалось полное стирание устройства и восстановление из резервной копии. Если бы у меня не было backup, последствия были бы катастрофическими.
Разработчики, это критическая проблема. Приложение не должно иметь возможность настолько глубоко ломать работу телефона без очевидного аварийного способа отключения. У пользователя должен быть понятный emergency override: PIN, таймер отмены, кнопка разблокировки или хотя бы предупреждение крупным текстом перед активацией.
Сейчас это выглядит не как инструмент продуктивности, а как потенциально опасный софт, способный полностью заблокировать устройство. English (for developers):
1 star. This is one of the most dangerous apps I have ever installed.
I accidentally activated the “block all apps” mode, fully expecting that I could easily disable it inside the app, or at least remove the restriction by deleting the app. That was not the case.
After activation, my iPhone basically turned into a brick for an entire hour. Almost nothing worked. Apps were blocked, even the camera stopped working, and the phone became nearly unusable.
The worst part: deleting the app did NOT remove the restriction. Even resetting iPhone settings to factory defaults did NOT help. I tried everything, including Screen Time settings, with no success.
The only way to recover my phone was to completely erase the device and restore it from a backup. If I had no backup, this could have been catastrophic.
Developers, this is a critical design flaw. No productivity app should be able to lock down a phone this aggressively without a clear emergency override. Users need a safe escape option: PIN override, cancel timer, unlock button, or at minimum a large warning before activation.
Right now this feels less like a productivity tool and more like dangerous software capable of completely locking a device.

GREAT
Super easy tutorial and user interface. You need this!
I used to be glued to my phone now I actually think before I scroll
If I could do 10 stars I would
Meh
Its a good app but frequently there would be times when i haven’t blocked off the hour/s it will somehow block the app and i left trying unlock it even though its not blocked on the app itself but still blocks the app i am using which is frustrating because i end up extending the time because i had to try for half an hour just to unlock the app.

Wow, just one day and I’m already never opening Instagram
I had a bad habit of doom scrolling Instagram and even LinkedIn (lol). I just started using this app yesterday, and I already am no longer reflexively hopping on the app. I like that it’s a reasonable subscription price, many other apps are stupidly expensive. I also like that the app can set up with better alternatives. For example, when I try to open Instagram, after the waiting period, it suggests my learning apps.
