Great idea!
Ok, so all of the reviews I’ve read seem to suggest that people don’t understand how this app is supposed to work. It doesn’t do anything FOR you, per se. It generates a password that you won’t likely remember. You take that password to whatever account you’re on and change it, then log out. Go back to the app and hit the “done” button so that the app will lock your password. It will ask you what time you want your password revealed. Select that and you’re good! You are now logged out of Facebook, Instagram or whatever and you can’t reveal your password until the time that you have chosen. There’s no way to override it. The next time you want to lock your account again, just generate a new password and repeat the steps. I think it’s genius!

Pathetic
Please don’t waste your $.99. This app is if no use.
Go to the Settings app, change system time, all it takes to bypass this app.
Useless
Why can't I copy the password
You should be able to copy and paste. I thought it would work for all of my social media apps and it doesn't.
Great When You Figure it Out
When I first downloaded the app I was annoyed and almost deleted it immediately. I was looking for something to just lock me out of Facebook. This app does not do that. What it does is generate a password that is complicated enough you would have to memorize it. You log into Facebook (or whatever site you feel you would like to restrict your access hours) and change your password to the one provided by Self-Control. Then, within the settings of the app, you specify what hours and days of the week you can get the password. If you try and unlock the password during other times it tells you you have to wait. This has removed the temptation to even try and get on Facebook during the day for me. Works perfectly. Would work for any site that requires a password to log in.

Great in theory
I love the idea but there's no way for you to copy the password. So you either have to write it down or take a picture of it in order to put your new password in. And then you have to destroy what you wrote or erase the picture so you won't just use the new password. Defeats the purpose.
Changing password
I am not sure I want to give an app control of my password. Also can't even figure out how to do this step. Is the top line plus the bottom line the whole password? Can't copy and paste this ridiculously long password so really difficult to manually type it. Just wasted money, not going to use this app.

Not going to use it.
The first step is to change you Facebook password to a password that they issue. This sounds like a security breach to me. I will not use it.
Rubbish app.
This app is awful, don't buy it.
Not good
Don't buy it. Doesn't work. Very user unfriendly.
Bad app.
It only locks Facebook and for it to do that you have to change you password to what they give you! Not even worth buying.
Pretty!
Dig it
Very effective, works great
My bad habit was passively checking my Facebook... for a half hour at a time. Very effective to curb that. I use it in conjunction with stayfocusd for Chrome so I can enter my password into my main computer but still get blocked when I should be working without effecting my connectivity to Spotify.
