### 4/5 — Измените:

*2026-05-28*

Приложение супер, мама поставила на телефон, я была счастлива, что теперь не 24/7 в телефоне, но через 7 дней маме сказала что надо оплатить, чтоб продолжить контроль. Соответственно мама удалила и разозлилась и начала отбирать телефон ВООБЩЕ! Теперь я 24/7 ее в телефоне, а без него! Сделайте пожалуйста приложение бесплатным!🙏

**Developer response:** Спасибо за отзыв! Нам жаль, что условия подписки вызвали неудобства. Часть функций доступна по подписке, мы учтём ваше пожелание. Если остались вопросы, напишите на support@anko.solutions.

### 2/5 — Нет Русского языка

*2025-11-22*

Зачем на фото показывать на русском, если там его нет. 
Не понятно

**Developer response:** Сожалеем о путанице с языком в материалах приложения. Пожалуйста, напишите нам на support@anko.solutions, указав, где вы увидели русскоязычное изображение, и приложите скриншот. Мы проверим информацию.

### 4/5 — добавьте русский язык пожалуйста 🙏

**Developer response:** Спасибо за тёплый отзыв и пожелание! Мы передали его команде.

### 2/5 — Very buggy

*2024-07-25, version 1.5.0*

If this worked properly it would be fantastic but unfortunately it is just too buggy when I try to use it. Limits don’t kick in when they should, then I get 5 rapid fire notifications that apps are locked, I have tried deleting specific limits and apps remain locked. It would also be really useful if you could set times of the day when you wanted limits to apply (eg during working hours). Hopefully this can all be fixed but until t is I will probably be deleting the app.

### 4/5 — КАК РУССКИЙ ЯЗЫК ПОСТАВИТЬ?

*2024-06-24*

### 4/5 — Недостатки приложения,сама оценка.

*2024-06-19*

Приложение отличное! Можно контролировать время работы с любым из своих приложений! Правда,нет русского языка,вот один недостаток уже есть.. минус одна звезда… 
Слишком дорого, было бы подешевле - самое то! А так, все отлично и идеально) советую приложение. Просто класс! 👍

**Developer response:** Спасибо за тёплый отзыв и рекомендацию! Рады, что ANKO помогает контролировать экранное время. Нам жаль, что вам не хватает русского языка и цена кажется высокой. Мы постоянно улучшаем приложение и учитываем такие пожелания.

### 3/5 — Trava

**Developer response:** Lamentamos que o iPhone trave ao tocar em “OK”. Escreva para support@anko.solutions e informe o modelo do aparelho e as versões do iOS e do ANKO. Se possível, anexe um vídeo do problema.

### 3/5 — Needs some bug fixes

*2024-03-13*

I love love love the concept of this app, it has already helped me so much with decreasing the amount of wasted time I spend on my phone. 

That being said, recently it has started acting really buggy. It often says my time is up and blocks apps when the time is not up. I get locked out of apps every so often, even though I go in and reset the time to a larger time frame. A few days ago I uninstalled the app completely to try and get it back on track. When I reinstalled, it was acting better but now it’s back to saying my time is up when clearly there is 10 minutes left in that particular app group.

I invested money into this app because it should be so amazing. I really hope they fix these bugs so it is as awesome as it could be.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback and kind words. We’re sorry that the blocks are triggered prematurely. Our developers are constantly improving the app. Please contact support at support@anko.solutions, specifying your device and the time of the issue, and attach screenshots or a video. We hope ANKO will fully live up to your high rating.

### 1/5 — Glitch?

*2024-01-13, version 1.1.41*

I uninstalled this app just because i decided to limit my screen time myself, but now even though its uninstalled it keeps saying im spending every second of my day on this app (its says on settings 24 hours on anko) and its been a couple of days after uninstalling and its still doing it. I used to use the screen time setting to keep track if how much im actually on my phone but now i cant because ut always just shows the literal time if the day in hours. I dont know if this is a bug or sonething but can u fix it

### 1/5 — Not that great

*2024-07-28*

It is really nothing game changing and they charged me 50$ for subscription without notifying me in advance. There is nowhere to even call and request a refund or any type of help center. Overpriced scam when there are so many free options!!

**Developer response:** We’re sorry the subscription charge came as a surprise. Subscriptions are billed by Apple, so refunds are handled by Apple: you can request one at reportaproblem.apple.com. If you have questions about plans or features, write to support@anko.solutions.
