Best App Blocker I Have Found!

I have tried a lot of app blockers and this is the first one that is not bypassable in a moment of weakness. Great job!!

Fantastic service!

Got the lifetime subscription for free. Never usually leave reviews. My only suggestions are adding a widget to see screen time from the homescreen, fixing the glitch where it closes the app if the option to hide apps is on but then when refreshing in the app there’s time left and my app that closed lost progress/refreshed feed, and adding a notification when there’s a couple minutes left to save the game or post. Minor things, ultimately was able to gradually cut my screen time by 80-90 percent on average. Keep it up, recommended to a few people already!

Great for Decreasing Screen Time

I found this app while on Reddit and thought I’d give it a shot. It’s been great helping me not only be more cognizant of how much time I spend on my phone, but also helping me to keep active. My overall screen time is down! I’ve been finding other things to do than sit on my phone and doom scroll. I also like how much you can customize block usage. My only complaint is that I use a Garmin watch to keep track of my steps and the steps don’t seem to translate over to the app real well. It probably has more to do with the Apple Health app than Stryde and how it connects with Garmin. Regardless, I’ll keep using Stryde!

Love this App!

First off, I was recommended this app by a neighbor to help manage screen time/social media excess use + increase activity during the day. She’s a physician and often works from home which reduces her daily step count & allows for increased “bored downtime”.

We both trialed it and bought pro very quickly. The changes & increased stats have been phenomenal.

When I had an issue with pro being recognized after I had to reset my phone, I emailed support and John got to work on it immediately.

Within a day, he had made changes and resubmitted the app to Apple for updating. He went as far to let me know today it was approved and ready for download.

Not only is this app so beneficial to kick these bad habits, but it is carefully managed & consistently updated for the best experience. I have recommended it and will continue to do so!

Thanks John for this app!
