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.

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
