Easy to bypass

It is just so easy to bypass. Use opal or clearspace..

Terrible app

Ts app is so cheeks I canโ€™t pair and see my screen time at all everytime it says something went wrong this app is so poorly designed

Wish it was on ios

Good app but the features i want are only available on android and i wish i could block specific things in apps not the whole app especially on snapchat

Love the extension, hate the app

Honestly, this app just doesnโ€™t work. I set limits for my phone but for whatever reason StayFree doesnโ€™t catch them. It is tracking my screen time, but it isnโ€™t clear at all why itโ€™s not actually blocking the websites and apps Iโ€™ve set. Also, I really wish there was an easy option to select the apps/websites you spend the most time on and set limits.

Iโ€™m sure Iโ€™m doing something wrong, but 1) itโ€™s SO hard to figure out (Iโ€™m in my twenties, itโ€™s not like Iโ€™ve never used a phone before) and 2) thereโ€™s no easy-to-find help to making this app actually work.

Giving it two stars because the chrome extension is great. But please, please, fix this app.
