Life-changing

This app was recommended to me to stop me from doomscrolling social media all night and stopping myself from sleeping. It took precisely 1 day to have impact and I have recommended it to many others since. As someone who could scroll through hours at a time, I actually spend less than an hour on social media a day. It broke the habit and has helped me heal my poor adhd brain. 62 days and counting!

Love this app

Really easy to use have been using for a long time

Really useful!!

It’s free gangg

Does job exceptionally well

Works well

Couldn’t ask for something better than that for focusing

Helped me to focus in life rather than my phone

Helpful with strings

I have been using my phone less and have seen a difference in my presence in my day to day. I do wish there was a lifetime membership. If an app is made to better someone's life, and it works, I would want a lifetime membership.

No está mal la app

Es buena la app, pero tiene muchas cosas de paga y deberían reducirlas porque genuinamente el doomscrolling o entrar a otros sitios ha sido un problema genuino, está bien que los creadores quieran conseguir ganancias, pero el hecho de que para que sea más complicado acceder a redes sea por medio de dinero no me convence mucho y lo veo innecesario de cierto modo,

Pretty good

It’s pretty good ngl makes me sleep earlier but I wish I could unblock specific things as in if I have 5 things unblocked I have to unblock ALL of them

Refocus helps

This is a pretty cool app. I am able to set and block apps so I can focus on other priorities and unblock if I need to. I definitely recommend this app.

REVIEW

It’s a really good app

Best way to stop doomscrolling

I downloaded this app like a month ago and my screen time has lowered more than half. Best app to lock in. This is my second report: used it for 116 days and its helped me a lot (im a teenager)

W app

Good for refocusing believe it or not

Best blocker I've tried, with one big loophole

Refocus actually blocks websites, which most iPhone blockers don't do reliably. I also like the escalating strictness levels, from simple blocks all the way up to stopping you from deleting the apps.

The loophole is that changing the phone's time ends the block. Anyone determined to get around it will figure that out fast. Please keep an internal or server-based clock so a session can't be undone by changing the time. Fix that and it's 5 stars.

Focus

Really help me stop my phone addiction and my lust addiction it helped me connect with my religion and society

Great app

It has helped me really focus on the things I need to by blocking all my distractions like YouTube, Facebook, and Snapchat while I don’t have to set alarms to get rid of them. Refocus has helped me FOCUS on the things I need to. Highly recommend.

Good bit too easy

It works fine but there is no incentive not to unblock, it’s basically just apple screen time.

Honest review

I think this is a great app! I use it for TikTok and it helps me not doom scroll! This app may have saved me from many mental illnesses, because I hate when I can’t stop scrolling. The reminder that is built into TikTok is straight up annoying, but this app actually is a life saver! The way to reduce screen time is completely customizable, and I set it to not let me on TikTok after 7. If I want to, it’s really simple and I unblock it all the time, but only for a set amount of time (max is 8 hours) I do 20 minutes. This app made my life 10000% better! Please get this app
