Insta

Why does instagram not get locked

Great Exam Tool

Going through finals and this app helped me out a lot

Doesn’t Lock Down Instagram

App seems great and works as I’d like it to. Massive issue - it locks down basically every app EXCEPT instagram, the most problematic for me while trying to study. Maybe it’s a setting issue on my phone but if not fix this asap.

THEE BEST

Good evening, I was earlier at the Laurier startup lab and I saw this stand I saw and I said to myself “hey I have this app!” And me and one of guys was speaking to me (nice man by the way) and later I saw him and he looked down I said “it was nice to met you, keep up the good work” so after all that this is the best app for studying and focusing.
Thanks

Good app, needs more flexibility

This is a useful app. It would be nice to have a few tiers of locking levels. For example, I need WhatsApp for work communications, and have a number of other work related apps on my phone, so during the day I can only get the lowest hourly reward because I can’t turn off all my apps. At least make WhatsApp an essential app that gets left on please!
