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.

Double charge

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.

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.

Question

What is the point of the app if I can turn “apps with screen time access” off in the settings? How do I fix it?

Response from developer

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.

Not enough

This blocks websites at browser level only. Apps can still access those blocked websites. It would be better if the block works across the apps at the device level.

Response from developer

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? You can also send me an email to hello@alexdenk.eu and I will gladly provide you with more details. Regards.

Did not work as intended.

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.

Response from developer

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.
