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!

Great app
Love this app. Keeps me accountable :)
Screen time for Steps
This app is amazing and very unique but I do think it could use some widgets
I miss the Coffee Time feature
Still love the app though. Keeps me better on task at work and more productive in my down time
New update is weird

Stop doomscrolling!
I love this app. I’m so glad I got to take part in its early development. It has really helped me get more active and break my addiction to the screen. You have the option of block certain apps, setting a timer and seeing how much time who have left to scroll for! There are even features that screen time doesn’t have such as protection from uninstalling the app to bypass the locks!

New Update.
The new UI changes are cool, but the UI is extremely buggy with some parts cutting off.
The notification for being an early user of the app and getting a ‘PRO’ version forever was great. Unfortunately, I could not read what else this update entails as it kept glitching out whenever I pressed ‘continue’ and I unfortunately did not get to read what you wanted to say.
Also some features seemed to be removed?
The hiring of a graphic designer is a good step moving forward, I just think this update needed a little bit more time before releasing to properly debug

Great concept but very buggy
This app is a great concept! I have a desk job and I thought this would help limit some of the mindless scrolling I do when I get home and maybe get some exercise in. App did work great the first few weeks but nowadays it rarely blocks anything and I know I haven’t earned enough steps. I’ve had some times where I’ll check how much time I have left to play my games and it says I need say 2k steps to unblock but nothing is actually blocked.
Today was the first time in weeks it tried to block anything. I went to see how many steps I needed to unblock and it said 5k. Umm, why didn’t it block me sooner?
Again, I LOVE the idea. It just needs to actually work.

Great idea, but buggy
I love the idea of this app and so have my friends. However, getting it in its early phases means that there are a lot of bugs that make it difficult to continue using currently. The biggest challenge is the current status on the app (ie “used: 30 minutes. earned: 92 minutes”. So I should have 58 minutes left to use, right? Wrong; my apps are still blocked, even after I refresh everything or restart the app. I can’t tell if it’s the Stryde gauge telling me I havent used up all the time even though I have (causing the block to activate) or if it’s failing to tell the apps to be unblocked when I do have time to spare. This has been frustrating because I keep having to turn off the monitor which removes the whole point of the app. Once this is fixed I am really looking forward to using it.

I Love This App
I would not have found this if I hadn’t stumbled across the creator mentioning this on a Reddit thread. I was digging for suggestions on apps that will block social media and other addictive sites while being really hard to override. I turn into a gremlin and have no self control with blocking social media and so this has been an absolute lifesaver. It doesn’t just block apps, it also blocks the website so you can visit unless you’ve done enough steps. You can also lock the settings so it’s hard to change your mind about how difficult you want to make earning screen time. Perfect way to encourage exercise and prevent mindless scrolling. I’m surprised this app has no reviews yet because It is incredibly well thought out.

Really enjoying this
I saw this app from Reddit and decided to give it a try since I’m hooked on my phone way more than I’d like. The step monitor is great but I love the timer too - it allows me to stay off my apps for x amount of time during the day. Great stuff! I’d recommend it
No.
Demands too much access. Not interested. Privacy is more important than a gimmick.
Charged incorrectly- please fix
I ordered this through AppAdvice and selected lifetime $0.00 option and I have been charged. Please fix this.
This works very well!
If you’ve been looking for a way to put your phone down and keep it down, this is the app for you.
Simple and great
This is a simple straightforward app that did exactly what I was looking for. I wanted to tie my screen time to a healthy habit and this does a great job of that.
Helped so much with my phone addiction
It also keeps me motivated
App has broken, please fix it asap
Hi, I purchased the app and have been using it to set a timer to block apps, but I've just accessed it today and it's updated and doesn't seem to be working properly and it looks like it's just based on step count?!?
Please can you revert this so I can use the functionality that I purchased this app for? It is no longer serving the required purpose.
Please can you action this asap and fix it, otherwise I think you should offer a refund as you have drastically changed the functionality of the app.
