### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-08-07*

Long time paid user of this app, plz dont allow pasting into the random text challenge text box, i can take screenshot and paste the ocr content which defects my purpose of adding friction

### 3/5 — Missing some features.

*2026-08-02, version 6.1.1*

This is the only app I’ve found so far for iPhone that allows you to set it to X minutes per hour, instead of day. I love that it breaks up my scrolling. 

Things I don’t like:
1. I have an iPhone so I dont to apply it to 24 hours. 
2. There is no warning that I’m about to hit my X minutes, so the sudden stop is very abrupt
3. I wish strict mode had an option to add 5 extra minutes one time so I could wrap up whatever I was doing before I got abruptly blocked.

### 1/5 — Not effective on ios

*2026-08-02*

Even in strict mode I am able increase amount of time for blocked apps. What’s the use of strict mode if I can do it ?

**Developer response:** Thank you for your kind review Kamal– you’re truly awesome! 🌟 Please feel free to recommend the app to your friends and family. If you encounter any issues, you can always reach us at ava@innoxapps.com.
Thanks again for being part of our journey!

### 3/5 — Time based app restrictions

*2026-07-26*

I had used this app for close to six months now and I had been quite appreciative of the fact that it stops me from using my phone once the strict mode is on, which in turn has helped me with my ADHD. Among the many profiles I have created and use, most are for restrictions of apps based on time used. In the earlier versions one wasn’t able to edit the amount of time that an app is restricted while strict mode is on, but on the recent update, that has changed, giving users a window to edit the amount of minutes or hours that they can use the restricted apps. This, in my opinion is counterproductive. I understand that it gives users a chance to make their profiles tighter even while strict mode is on but it also gives users to loosen those blockages. 
Please consider making some sort of amendments on future updates to let users NOT extend the usage times on the blocked apps. 
Thank you.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your kind review– you’re truly awesome! 🌟 We will fix it in the latest update. If you encounter any issues, you can always reach us at ava@innoxapps.com. Thanks again for being part of our journey! Best regards, Team Stay Focused - App & Website Block­er

### 1/5 — Une différence importante

*2026-07-19*

Je ne comprends pas pourquoi l’application Stay Focused est si différente sur IOS. La version gratuite sur Android est tellement meilleure. Ici, il faut vraiment payer pour avoir un blocage performant et notamment la meilleure spécificité : le blocage strict qui nous empêche de tricher. Énormément de déception, je ne peux pas installer cette application sur mon iPad.

**Developer response:** Merci pour votre retour. Nous comprenons votre déception. Malheureusement, iOS impose des restrictions système très strictes qui empêchent de reproduire certaines fonctionnalités disponibles sur Android, notamment le blocage strict et d'autres protections avancées. Ces limitations sont imposées par Apple, pas par notre application. Nous continuons à améliorer la version iOS dans les limites autorisées et espérons pouvoir vous offrir une meilleure expérience à l'avenir.

### 1/5 — Worst app

*2026-07-08*

I purchased premium in march for one year and suddenly the app is now working as free version same thing had happened to me on my android phone as well now same problem with my iphone . never buy this app

**Developer response:** Dear, on Android you were using a different account than the one that was used to purchase the app. We helped you by refunding that purchase so you could activate the Premium subscription on the correct account.

Please check if the same issue is happening here. Also, we kindly request that you avoid posting inaccurate or misleading comments, as we have already worked with you to resolve this issue.

### 5/5 — Really Good App

*2026-07-05, version 6.0.4*

This app is so good because I don’t know how to use it so I can never unblock my apps and it actually keeps me off instagram!

### 1/5 — I can’t delete it

*2026-06-29, version 6.0.4*

I downloaded it before I found a better app. But it’s not letting me delete it. I’ve tried a bunch of things. Any help? Developers?

### 1/5 — Was Able to Delete

*2026-06-16, version 6.0.2*

I installed Stay Focused and placed on strictest setting. For work, my IT team requires me to download a uninstall and reinstall an app. I was able to, without having to enter the 64 character code. Then I uninstalled Stay Focused, again without having to enter the code. What a waste of money.

A whole new way to wake up — plus tougher accountability in Strict Mode.

• Strict Alarms (iOS 26.1+) — Alarms you can't just swipe away. Backed by Apple's new system alarm engine, they ring full-screen through Silent and Focus, and you must solve a challenge to turn them off. Wake to a gentle, rising chime.

• New ways out of Strict Mode — Decide how Strict Mode can be lifted: Friend Approval (a trusted friend signs off first) or Cooldown (wait out a timed delay before it unlocks).

• Lock individual features — Pin specific features like Strict Alarm under Strict Mode, so they can't be changed while you're locked in.

• Password-protect Strict Mode — Set a password so only you can open the app or change protected settings.

Thanks for using Stay Focused!
