### 1/5 — Many holes and No strict measures

*2025-11-11*

- sometimes when opening a blocked app (iPad) it gives the prompt „open anyways“. I have no idea why that’s a thing and why I can’t disable it 
- you need to block the screentime+ app itself with screentime, since there are 0 hurdles stopping you from just going in and disabling a block. No function for a password etc
- sometimes apps are blocked and unblocked when they shouldn’t be, until I open the st+ app, then usually it’s fixed
+ the pricing is better than alternatives (but no one time payment option)
+simple interface, good scheduling

### 2/5 — Lebenszeit-Abo weg!

*2025-04-13*

Ich habe vor einiger Zeit die lebenslange Version gekauft und die App jetzt erneut heruntergeladen. Leider gibt es keine Möglichkeit, den Kauf wiederherzustellen – kein Button, keine Funktion. Ich habe sogar noch die Bestellnummer als Nachweis. Bitte beheben Sie das Problem umgehend, da ich bereits bezahlt habe und keinen erneuten Kauf tätigen werde.

### 1/5 — Funktioniert nicht!

*2025-04-10*

Die App funktioniert überhaupt nicht richtig. Blockierte Apps kann man häufig öffnen, obwohl eine Blockade läuft.

### 2/5 — Doesnt work properly in paid version.

*2025-03-14*

Sometimes some Apps are blocked even if this app is not selected in any active block list. I also checked if there are some allow only lists active but they are not. And there are no other apps affecting restrictions. Please fix this bug.

### 5/5 — Better than Freedom

*2024-06-16*

AFAIC, it does everything Freedom does at a fraction of the price. And with a easier interface. And with allowlists. And you can set up lists to use with your focus settings. And it’s all in-app - no need to set up an account (and generating a lot of junk mail from the company through that account).

### 1/5 — How can I cancel this subscription? I am completely unhappy with this app

*2024-01-24*

How can I cancel this subscription??

### 3/5 — It's Great, but....

*2023-07-13*

While I do think that the app itself is very useful there are many occasions where the scheduled blocking does not work or when I delete a certain period from the schedule it still went off at that time. So I think it would be far better if you can fix some of those issues

### 5/5 — Bravo

*2023-03-20*

Great concept, flawless implementation, all in all a very useful tool to improve concentration. Needs more marketing and public awareness for sure as it is the completing part for the ultimate focus system with onesec being the foundation.

UPD: Feature request - would be nice to be able to add a widget with possible visualizations of active list / lists options / stats / etc

### 2/5 — I thought it was good until…

*2023-01-10*

I got this app trying to help improve my self control and focus when working on things or trying to sleep. Aside from the poor navigation from screen time (which is not this app’s fault) the app doesn’t block apps even when it should. I have the software blocking Netflix, among other things, and it seems to not care as I open the app. Other apps, it blocks just fine, like Amazon. I’ve tried recreating blocking lists, restarting my phone, turning the list back on and off again, and to no avail. If you turn on “Digital Detox” it blocks the Netflix just fine, so it’s definitely an issue with the app and not Apple. I don’t normally leave negative reviews, but I have no other way I can let the developers know they have a major issue with their app. I hope they can fix it, because it’s good otherwise, but this is a critical feature that makes the app extremely useless.

### 2/5 — Leider keine iPad-Version

*2022-12-23*

Bei der Auswahl von Apps bleibt die App stecken und muss geschlossen werden.
Wieso kann ich keine System-Apps sperren?
