How do I fix it? **Developer response:** Dear user, Thank you for your review, I'm taking notes of all of them. This is a self-help app and there is no way to permanently block other apps on your phone. Also, Apple will not allow that. But the app makes it much harder to access your app during a session. You can also send me an email to hello@alexdenk.eu and I will gladly provide you with more details. Regards. ### 4/5 — Can you hide setting from menu *2025-01-08* When a session is active, can you hide entire Settings menu ??

I bought the lifetime pass and i’m able to scroll on any app very freely i put the time i liked it to be and it showed me the screen only once and after that not a single time im able to just be on my phone as much as I want. I want an explaination from this, and if there’s nothing else to discuss I would like a refund Wasted my money for nothing **Developer response:** Dear user, Thank you for your review, I'm taking notes of all of them. But can you give me more details? Please send me an email to hello@alexdenk.eu and provide me more details and for sure we can find a solution. Regards. ### 1/5 — Double charge *2025-07-25* I already paid for a lifetime subscription for this app over a year ago, and it was totally fine until they updated it and started charging a yearly, monthly, or a different year time subscription that was about 3X what I paid before, they did not honor the purchase I already made and now the app has super limited function, and they’re trying to make me pay again for a lifetime subscription to get it back to its normal working state. Super disappointed. **Developer response:** Dear user, Thank you for your review, I'm taking notes of all of them. I guess you just needed to restore the purchases - nothing more. But can you give me more details? Please send me an email to hello@alexdenk.eu and provide me more details and for sure we can find a solution. Regards. ### 1/5 — Glitching and getting stuck *2025-03-19* The application gets hung up way too many times. This happens most recently when I click on apps to lock in a session. In the past, I noticed it when I was selecting too many times at once. It’s sad because I had already paid 1 year fee for the app. I suggest you to not take money until your basic services are extremely perfect. **Developer response:** Dear user, Thank you for your review, I'm taking notes of all of them. But can you give me more details? Please send me an email to hello@alexdenk.eu and provide me more details and for sure we can find a solution. Regards. ### 1/5 — Did not work as intended. *2024-12-15* It has an option to select all apps. I selected all apps. After I tried to actually use it, it told me I selected too many apps. Not sure what the point of this is. **Developer response:** Dear user, Thank you for your review, I'm taking notes of all of them.The app will lock without any issue 50 apps or less, please do not select all your apps.You can also send me an email to hello@alexdenk.eu and I will gladly provide you with more details.Regards. ### 1/5 — 之前付费买了永久权限 *2024-10-28* 之前付费买了永久权限 怎么更新了之后还成付费的了 why？ 而且锁完app还不好使 **Developer response:** Dear user, Thank you for your review, I'm taking notes of all of them.Just use the "Restore purchase" option, this will update your purchase and you can use the app.You can also send me an email to hello@alexdenk.eu and I will gladly provide you with more details.Regards. ### 1/5 — Hi *2024-09-03* How do I delete this app from my iPhone **Developer response:** Dear user, Thank you for your review, I'm taking notes of all of them.But can you give me more details?

Another week later, my free session gets limited to 2 apps and I can’t even change it to go under the limit without paying $10. Now I have 0 sessions. Luckily I found a different app that only costs $7 that does the same thing and isn’t constantly removing features, so I purchased it instead. **Developer response:** Dear user, Thank you for your review, I'm taking notes of all of them.

Apps can still access those blocked websites. It would be better if the block works across the apps at the device level. **Developer response:** Dear user, Thank you for your review, I'm taking notes of all of them. Actually if you block a website, no other web browser (Chrome, Opera and so on) can access that website. Can you check again?
