Great
Love it but after 3 weeks doesn’t block anything
Response from developer
Thanks for the kind words, and sorry blocking stopped working. Please email hello@trysabbath.com with your device and iOS version so we can investigate.
Good Idea - just a few changes
Positive
- Idea and realization (including the genius idea of forcing the user to type in a reason before being able to stop the current sabbath)
- Design (simplicity and user friendly clear UI)
Negative
- Bug with the amount of time left when restarting your sabbath after temporarily stopping it
- Price of the Plus Version seems a bit exaggerated, all the schedules are locked behind the pay wall - which is fine because the primary focus is just the single day of the week (sabbath) - but considering that custom-scheduled blocking isn't a new thing and can be done with varius other apps brings up this critique
- No comparisons of the two plans (free vs plus) which isn't a huge deal but would it be nice to know the differences by adding some transparancy
Overall a solid - almost great - app for it's purpose.

Free trial only for yearly sub
The app works well most of the time, but sometimes it just doesn’t and needs to be reset.
My biggest gripe is the developer only attaching the free trial to a yearly subscription and not monthly. I forgot to cancel (there wasn’t a reminder) and boom, $40 gone. That’s predatory.

Response from developer
Sorry the blocking has been inconsistent. Offering a free trial with an annual subscription is a standard App Store model, and the renewal terms are shown before purchase. It is not intended to mislead anyone. Please email hello@trysabbath.com so we can investigate the blocking issue. Apple handles subscription refunds at reportaproblem.apple.com.
significantly decreased my phone usage
what a great app I’m so happy I downloaded it
Response from developer
So glad Sabbath has helped you cut your phone usage. Thanks for sharing!
Phenomenal app
Great concept, beautifully executed. I'm two weeks in and it's actually really worked to keep me off Instagram.
Response from developer
This is wonderful to hear. Helping you spend less time on Instagram is exactly why we built Sabbath. Thanks for giving it a try!
