Inutile car très facilement contournable et abandonné par le développeur
Une application qui est abandonné par le développeur, ça a fait un an qu’il n’y a pas eu de mises à jours. Aucun suivi, rien. Seul le service client réponds encore mais on se demande pendant combien de temps encore. La vice présidente de l’entreprise s’est barré. C’est souvent là que ça sent un peu le roussi.
Pour les petites dépendances aux écrans, ça peut aider et encore… les blocages sont très facilement contournables.
Pour les plus grosses dépendances aux écrans, c’est juste une passoire. En un clic, on peut désactiver les emplois du temps de blocage d’applications même en utilisant l’appli raccourcis d’IOS pour éviter les modifications, on peut quand même les modifier.
Je ne pense pas que ça vaille le coup, de payer pour avoir le Unplug tag car de toute façon, si vous l’avez sur vous… ou que vous le mettiez dans une autre pièce, si vous avez vraiment une dépendance, votre cerveau vous fera lever pour aller débloquer l’emploi du temps qui bloque l’application et si vous n’avez pas envie de vous levez, vous pouvez de toute façon le faire via l’application en un clic.
Ça serait bien juste de coder une page avec un code dessus et si il est pas entré, on peut rien modifier dans l’application sans ça, c’est une application qui sert à rien.
Pire application de contrôle de temps, je ne recommande absolument pas.

Frustrated
I have used Unpluq for a few years now and I really like it but for the past few months I have tried to edit my schedules and it’s almost impossible to add apps past the first few categories or search for them. Every time I try to scroll down to view more apps so I can add them to my schedule to block them, it freezes, says they can’t be loaded and to try searching them. If I try to search them the same thing happens. I get the same error for months now that Unpluq has been working with Apple to resolve the issue… and my schedules are still not what I want them to be. I click on the troubleshooting link and it also does nothing. So basically I am paying for a service that I can’t use properly.

Kickstarted then bait and switched!
I backed the kickstarter for this product a few years ago, only for them to run a subscription model AFTER funding — if that was part of the original plan, I definitely didn’t see it on their campaign. Now in 2025 you have “Brick” and “Bloom” both which work better and don’t have subscriptions. — I guess I’m thankful this industry of app blocking has grown, but Unpluq falls sadly behind.

Super app qui aide vraiment à reprendre le contrôle de son temps
Après avoir essayé beaucoup de méthodes pour réduire mon temps perdu à scroller, Unpluq et le tag ont été la première vraiment efficace pour retrouver l'intentionnalité d'utilisation tout en laissant assez de flexibilité. Seule chose qui manque pour moi, la possibilité d'avoir une durée de déblocage différente selon les programmes.

it’s a start
I really wanted something that would turn my iPhone into a brick that only runs music, podcasts and good old fashioned phone stuff. maybe a weather alert here & there. this isn’t it.
there’s a limit on this of 49 apps/websites/whatever. if I click to select everything on my phone, it says there are 600-something apps I’m trying to block.
first, I cannot even imagine what 600 things this app thinks it can see on my phone.
second - 49 would seem like enough but you have to block fb AND the website, insta AND the website. google AND all the little things that go with it. etc.
it’s just not worth it. I’m cancelling at the end of my year and finding an alternate solution.

Can’t add apps to my list
When I try to add apps to my blocked list, the app crashes. It’s basically making the app unusable so I cancelled my trial. Hoping this gets fixed asap.
Good when it works.
Good when it works but it’s increasingly become more and more unusable (they’ll claim that it’s actually Apple’s API) since I got it 2 years ago. Either doesn’t work and keeps apps unblocked, or works too well and won’t let you access them.
Works
Great app.
I use the time limits so that I cannot be distracted by email and social media when I should be present with my family after work and on weekends. It requires a QR code to allow the apps to work. So unless I have a computer (or my wife’s cell phone, ie permission) to get QR code I cannot be distracted.
It’s awesome.

Apps don't normally change my life, but this one did.
I keep my apps locked at all times. The first few days I was so bored, but I feel like I have my life back now. I enjoy working more, I go to the gym, I have more time for hobbies, my side hustle has taken off, and I even bet a fantastic girl because I have been going out more. Everyone needs this app.

Nearly there
Not just the best app, but the best thing I've tried to manage my screen time. Effective, painless, and unintrusive. One star is docked because the app does not work on browsers besides Safari - this is too big of a gap in the product to ignore.
Works like a charm!
Saves me from rotting away on the daily. Highly recommend, 10/10.
😀 SO GREAT
Super awesome it keep me from all of the bad addictive things on my phone I feel sooooooo much better about being on my phone it blocks all the bad stuff and works great❤️THANK U UNPLUQ!!!!!!!!
Best blocking app
Clean user interface, great distractions, and neat keyring (tag).
Would highly recommend to cut down on screen time.

Helps you put your phone down
when I unlock my phone I usually immediately go to instagram without thinking, but now I see Instagram is greyed out and can’t be opened (without opening unpluq to unlock it). I set the time to lock instagram 10.30am-7pm. When I see it locked I am reminded that I should not waste my time there. Then I immediately put my phone down. For someone who has a phone addiction this is extremely helpful. I appreciate how I can use this feature for free.

Do Not Buy - Scam
Don’t put your money into this. It’s a poor product. Obviously this sort of app is only as effective as you are disciplined, but the point of having it is to develop discipline. You can’t do that if it suddenly stops working. I have to manually go in and reactivate it because the restrictions just stop. This has been happening for awhile and you just don’t care anymore and just go back to your old habits. I have the schedule set up and tailored as well as I can with it’s limited options but the app is just broken.
Sad to see my money went down the drain. I’ll be trying other free ones. I needed the paid subscription because I have a lot of apps I use, but it just wasn’t worth it

Response from developer
Hi Fred, we're sorry to hear you had this experience! We can assure you this is not the normal behavior. If you're willing, we'd love to help solve this for you; could you reach out to support@unpluq.com?
Finally!
I’m really happy with this app! It keeps me mindful of my screen time without making me frustrated like some other apps I’ve tried before.. I’ve cut down scrolling mindlessly so much I’ve been getting back into a good routine.
Anti Procrastination
This app, though restricted if you don’t have the premium version, is amazing. The system makes it so that you have to make a conscious decision to open a distracting app. It closes it automatically on a timer which helps me not to loose track of time. Overall very good for maximizing work flow as advertised.

Got buggy since iOS 18
This was a great app until iOS 18. It often doesn’t block my apps. Sometimes while they are blocked, I go in to the app and the unlock doesn’t work. Often the app is a blank black screen upon opening.
Please improve! And also, stop trying to get me to invest in your company while your app is so broken.

5 stars
This is such an amazing app, I’ve tried other ones but they aren’t quit right! I went from 7 hours on my phone to 1 maybe 2
Not worth it
The biggest problem is that the apps I block don’t unblock unless I go in the app and disable it. I have 2 apps I block from 9-5. But at 6:30 they are still blocked. Also when I go to disable it I go to instagram and my videos won’t load or buffer. Also have never had an issue until I downloaded this app. 0/10 wouldn’t recommend.
