I cannot accumulate screen time and use it later. I’d rather have 1000 steps = 5/10min of screen time and use blocked apps for a bit depending on how much I walk. Pros: - Blocks apps very well, even visiting their website. Awesome! 1 extra star for this More Cons: - no option to start my day with X min/hr of time on the app. - no way to reset “banked” steps daily (banking steps doesn’t even exist…) ### 5/5 — It works and is free *2026-08-03, version 2.36* 👍👍👍👍🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💪💪💪💪💪💪 ### 5/5 — Very good *2026-07-22, version 2.36* Very good ### 5/5 — W *2026-06-28, version 2.36* Best app ever ### 1/5 — Really!!??! *2026-06-18, version 2.36* There is a daily limit in the free version like at least make it like after 10 sessions not 3 bro ### 1/5 — Too limited without lifetime access *2026-06-17, version 2.36* Lemme just vibe code this… ### 5/5 — Amazing *2026-06-14, version 2.36* It’s amazing and I don’t need to pay 10 out of 10 app ### 5/5 — Hello? For real? *2026-06-07, version 2.36* I have two problems. 1: there should be a way to make it so for every minute of screen time goes to 1 push-up/squat. 2: today was my first time trying (not premium) and after 4 sessions of pushups, it says I’ve reached my daily limit. My thought was that when I wanted to use an app, I do pushups, not having to do all the pushups first thing in the morning, then using all your time. Am I missing something or is this actually real? Started as a 5 star app, but now I can’t even use it. ### 5/5 — It’s not pay to play *2026-06-04, version 2.36* This is The only one that I found that you don’t have to pay for to actually use the one thing that people want—- to bloc insta before you do push ups . and it does it really well ### 4/5 — Actually Works! *2026-05-29, version 2.36* The app itself actually gets me off my phone but a widget would be very nice to track your progress without having to go on the app! ## Frequently asked questions about StepBloc ### What does StepBloc do?
