Easy to bypass

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

Terrible app

Ts app is so cheeks I can’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 doesn’t work. I set limits for my phone but for whatever reason StayFree doesn’t catch them. It is tracking my screen time, but it isn’t clear at all why it’s not actually blocking the websites and apps I’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.

I’m sure I’m doing something wrong, but 1) it’s SO hard to figure out (I’m in my twenties, it’s not like I’ve never used a phone before) and 2) there’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.

Rubbish in iPhone

Why these app is working perfectly great on android and on apple you can’t do any think.

Reels

How do you do the feature where you block instagram reels but not chats

DO NOT USE FOR IOS

This app works great for my friends that have android phones so I tried it. Don’t bother. Almost none of the functionality is implemented on iPhone. I was really looking forward to being able to block things like reels or shorts without totally blocking Facebook and YouTube. Does not exist here. There isn’t even a delete button for focus mode (their name for a scheduled blocking plan). You literally have to delete the app and all related data and reinstall if you want to delete a blocking plan. Absolute clown app. Super disappointed because I really need an app like this and haven’t found one even close to what stayfree can do on android.

The app is awesome, but it looks not so good on iPhone.

The iPhone app looks really bad, just awful. It looks better on Android and PC. Otherwise, it displays everything except the desktop version, where I don't see any time management apps.

Chill out yall

People are too harsh on the devs, this app does what I need it to do. Yall are great

Yo

Ts app so good tbh I love it can we work on blocking like my little pony app

Problem with IOS version

No offence to the developers, but this app on IOS is total garbage, but on other hand, it's like 10 times better on android. You should program in the function where you need to type a long text to change the restriction, like there is on android

Insta Reels on Iphone

Pls make a feature to block insta reels or shorts on iphone

version

what version is it

Not working on IOS

App looks great and my girlfriend loves it, but it does not let you complete the creation of usage limits. When attempting to select apps for the rule, upon pressing "done", the app re-routes back to the main screen without saving anything you've entered.

Not for iPhone

I absolutely loved this app on my Samsung and recommended it to everyone, but now I have an iPhone and it is completely different 😭

Few opportunities for ios users

When I installed it with my Android it allowed to block reels, comments separately but with ios this function is not available

This is my review for the IOS app

The App version honestly suck when you compare it to its desktop and website counterparts. To Keep it short, you cannot edit you limits once they are made, you cannot easily see usage from other devices on the app, the apps usage doesn’t show up on other devices either and if does it doesn’t shows the times for each app, rather just showing the total screen time. The list just goes on and on, I recommend ScreenZen as the main for Mobile this app as a secondary just so that you can have the opportunity to see your screen time on your other devices (even if it doesn’t show the times for different apps and website) and StayFree (this app) for desktop and Website. I have more recommendations to make the app better but the devs need to work on the foundation first which is catching up to the website and desktop version as well as checking out their competitors.

Pretty good

I rated this 3 because yeah it works but there is a new update and now sometimes it doesn’t reset everyday so I have to create a whole new limit every day for all my apps but otherwise works well

Love the chrome extension

I absolutely adore the chrome extension it's one of the only things that's helped me get off my computer, so I decided to download it for my phone too! But I think it would work incredibly if it had as many obstacles as the chrome extension did and it was harder to delete the limits you set for yourself and I'd love to see it develop more

Uninstalled

Can’t block apps anymore. Had to let it go
