They ruined it
This app used to be SO simple and easy to use. It was great. Sometime around mid 2026 they changed the entire appearance and functionality of the app and it is ridiculously hard to set up a simple blocking session now. It isn’t even worth the effort to use it anymore. There is way too much going on in the app and too many ways to try to set up a simple timer and none are easy. Nothing is intuitive anymore. They need to return to an easy timer that you can use anytime and that REMEMBERS which apps you had blocked previously.

지금까지의 Focus hours 6,676시간, 3년동안 썼는데 조금씩 핸드폰 중독에서 벗어날 수 있었습니다👍 디자인이 예뻐서 마음에 너무너무 들고, 시간 아껴서 젬 획득하는 소소한 재미도 느낄 수 있는 일석이조
Working hours are great but time keeping doesn’t work at all
I like how I can block certain hours, helps me keep focus and eventually forget about the apps and focus on other tasks.
But the timekeeper doesn’t work at all. It will count I ‘hit my set limit) (1 hour) randomly in the middle of the night or anytime I’m not on my mobile. I check my ios screentime settings and I’ve only used apps for 30 minutes total.
This is extremely frustrating as I have the apps on my phone for a reason as a creator (otherwise I would just delete social media and call it a day)
So when I need to upload content/reply to messages etc I cannot without manually unblocking for the day or resetting my limit, which defeats the purpose of having a set limit to begin with!
The app simply intended for timekeeping, its most basic functionality should not be this wrong.
The app itself also has pretty poor UI. It’s slow, laggy and adding/remove rules is very difficult. The app only does a few things, it doesn’t require so many windows and tabs.
When its doing the job of blocking, works great, my screentime has dropped massively but outside of that it really needs help.

Lagging and deletion problems
I loved using it before an update happened, now everytime I log onto the app to unlock an app, it starts randomly lagging. Maybe because I have an older iPhone ? (iPhone 13 mini). Also one time I was deleting apps for storage and I found out I couldn’t delete the app unless I had my screen time password, but I forgot from when my brother set it up for me during the pandemic (we both forgot). Now I find it frustrating that even when I try to delete the app it wouldn’t let me unless I knew the password. However , I do enjoy some of the stuff I see like the calming sounds of birds and options I get to choose to help me stay away from my phone.
