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. ### 4/5 — Good app, needs more flexibility *2025-01-11, version 2.0.1* 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! ### 4/5 — Coupons *2024-11-15, version 1.0* App is amazing , love all the features really helps me focus on work . Only thing is, coupons could be better, and updated as they are the same and getting boring. Overall love the app though ! ### 4/5 — Review of Lock in *2024-10-08* Wish there was a setting or a preset for what apps I don’t want to use and what apps I do want to use. I use this app to study and not get distracted but I still use google, calculator etc. I have to manually set it every time and it gets a little annoying. Overall the app works as intended and like the rewards. ### 4/5 — Cool app, but not cheat-proof *2024-10-03* You can earn rewards from blocking apps, but i noticed that if I don’t allow access to Screentime, I can still lock the phone as usual. Is this a bug? ### 5/5 — Great Exam Tool *2025-04-10, version 2.0.6* Going through finals and this app helped me out a lot ### 5/5 — THEE BEST *2025-02-28, version 2.0.4* 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 ## Most praised reviews (7 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Lock in *2024-12-03* I love this app it’s underrated ### 5/5 — Lock In *2024-11-13, version 1.0* Love the app so far. Has definitely helped my studying! I have one suggestion: (maybe you already plan on doing this) being able to access the history of how long I “locked in” for on past days would be helpful and a nice source of motivation! Thanks! ### 5/5 — Works *2024-11-12, version 1.0* Got me to lock in, 10/10 recommend ### 5/5 — Love it *2024-10-26, version 1.0* This motivates me to get off my screens. I have been locking all my apps on my phone and iPad when focusing on tasks and when I am going to sleep so I don’t stay up late! ### 5/5 — Its good! *2024-10-24, version 1.0* Ive had it for a bit, its simple to navigate, easy to use and helps get focused on it. It does its job, and helps you do yours ### 5/5 — Amazing app *2024-10-23, version 1.0* The app is so easy to navigate with and it’s easy to understand. Basically consumer friendly which is really good. I also like the idea of the app and how you can collect coins to buy coupons. ### 5/5 — Got rid of my TikTok addiction *2024-10-22, version 1.0* The coupons on this app are nice but I’m just happy I’m not doomscrolling 5 hours a day on TikTok now lol --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
