THIEVES!! Negative stars if possible
This app is a scam and will take your money wrongfully. I did not intend to ever purchase a premium version much more even renew a premium version. It made it so I had to purchase a free trial to even access the app service and then automatically subscribed me a for a year. I DO NOT WANT ACCESS TO THIS APP! I WANT MY MONEY BACK. I received an email saying it was renewed on November 6th, 2026 at 1:06pm and proceeded to request a refund at 1:08pm November 6th, 2026. And the final decision is that I was ineligible for a refund?? This is insane. I never even used the services of the app during the renewal period of which is less than 5 minutes as I proceeded to 1) cancel the subscription 2) request a refund 3) delete the awful, no good, money hungry, aesthetically vomit-inducing app!!!!!! Please kindly issue me a refund for this app because I want nothing to do with it. I want to lose access to the subscription. Thank you.

Your purchases are controlled by Apple and App Store. Unless a person is asking refunds a lot, Apple is very lenient about giving refunds. If you haven't requested refunds before recently, contact Apple support as maybe there's been a mistake. The support is usually quite great. Refocus has a free version, and at a minimum, a person has to explicitly press the "side button" twice (with Face ID or Touch ID) to confirm a purchase after seeing an Apple-presented payment sheet. Similar to if you would do an Apple Pay purchase.
Super Useful App!
I have been using this app for almost a year now and am very happy with it. I used to have a different app with similar functions, but they were locked behind a subscription. This app does the same job but for free (it does offer some upgraded paid options, but not having them won’t negatively impact your experience)! I had a bad habit of falling asleep on my phone at night and accidentally deleting calendar entries, sending messages to people, changing reminders, etc. in my sleep, but this app put an end to that by letting me lock certain apps for a set timeframe every night. I also had a bad problem with doomscrolling on social media, and this app let me set a time limit that locks all those apps as soon as I have reached that time limit across all of them. It also lets you temporarily turn off the app blocking for a certain amount of time should you really need to get back into your apps! I definitely recommend this app to anyone looking for a free way to schedule their screen time effectively.

Paid version of the App less effective than free version
Somehow I’ve found the settings and configuration of the paid version of the app worse than the free version.
I’m not sure if my experience is from hitting edge-case bugs or poor UX, but the app doesn’t really help me enforce screen time effectively now that I’m paying for it. Disappointing, because I’m locked into a year long subscription.

please use the "Contact Support" button in the app for help - the free version is the same thing but less, so doesn't really make sense that something would be worse (...literally logically its the same thing as the code is the same)
Muito bom
É um ótimo app para controlar o tempo ocioso. A versão gratuita tem muitas limitações, mas ainda sim ajuda
Does what it’s supposed to
This has been great for stopping me from mindlessly opening apps
Crashed
App crashed and blocked apps can’t delete the app -
Very helpful
Easy to use and gives a lot of control options
Really great app
This app is one of my favorites, it really helps me focus on what I want to do on my phone and keeps me from scrolling!
It’s so annoying
I can’t even be on my phone without blocking me out of my games or vids and then I can do anything and I want to pause it I have to pay that so annoying
Bug fix
When it’s time for me to watch’s a video to unblock, it won’t let me hit “reward granted” therefore not allowing me to access my apps. Very annoying. Fix this.
Love it!
Helps me to focus on studying instead of playing on my phone lol.
しっかりロックしてくれるけど…
広告などでロックがかかって時間を無駄に使う時間が減りました。…でも最大時間をロックしたいものなので最大で30分とかにしてくれたらもうちょっと制限出来るかな…っと
Good, but…
It’s alright in reminding me about how much I actually use these apps, however, Im not really into buying the versions that actually block your apps, and even if you do; there’s always a way to bypass it. Does help in realizing I should delete Instagram.
Love it
Using it every day, very helpful, that extra step between me and Instagram has helped me cut down on
Excellent
🔥⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
