User reviews

Paid and regret it.

Not sure why I paid for a service that lets you add and remove websites at will? I thought there would be some kind of protection against it in moments of weakness but I guess not.

Response from developer

We're sorry this didn't match what you were hoping for. The site list is yours to edit, and we know that can make it too easy to unblock something in a weak moment. If you want help tightening how you use the app, please contact us through the app and we'll help.

Cash grab

Horrible just horrible I couldn’t do anything at all because as soon as you open the app they make show you this thing that makes you think you can get a free trial on their bs membership and then when you have no way to get it off your screen unless you act like your gonna pay for it and then don’t it’ll ask why you passed it up and when you get that off your screen it pops up another thing that says a 67% off of their membership deal this time there is no way to get it off your screen so I cut the app off and then go back to it and it pops the free trial thing again and it’s a never ending loop so I clicked to try the free trial just to get it off my screen and the next thing you know I got charged ten bucks this app is a horrible money grab to take money from people needing help with addiction

Response from developer

We’re sorry for the frustrating experience. The free trial should not result in an unexpected charge, and our subscription screens are not intended to prevent you from using the app. Subscriptions and trial billing are processed through Apple, so if you were charged unexpectedly, please request a refund through Apple Support. We’d also appreciate the opportunity to investigate what happened with the screens you encountered so we can make sure they’re working as intended.

helpful tool

it really helps a lot

Need help with app

OK, so I downloaded the app a couple days ago and I really loved using it. But when I was trying to comment on a board, I could no longer type so I deleted the app to restart things since I will type one letter and the keyboard would disappear. I re-downloaded the app and there’s no way to sign back in to create a new account I need to go through the steps to re-register and then my Clock reset which I’m not too thrilled about. If there is a way to sign into resume where I left off, please let me know if not, this app is a huge disappointment when a technical error arises.

Response from developer

We're sorry you ran into this. You should not need to start over after reinstalling the app—returning users can sign back into their existing account and restore their progress. It sounds like the sign-in option may have been missed during onboarding, and we'd be happy to help get you back into your account. Please contact our support team through the app/site and we'll help you restore access. We also appreciate you flagging the keyboard issue and are looking into that separately.

Helps more than anything else has

This app blocked more than I thought it would but unfortunately isn’t able to block Reddit but it keeps your streak and gives you the record to beat if you relapse and that’s just in the free version so I think it’s pretty motivational with the small things definitely worth the download

FAQ

What is Urge's primary function?

Urge is designed as a system to help users interrupt addictive behaviors. It combines website blocking, friction-inducing tools, crisis intervention features like a 'Panic Button,' and structured recovery training to support users in breaking free from harmful loops.

How does Urge block adult content?

Urge employs dual-layer blocking. This includes website blocking via Apple's Screen Time web filtering and DNS protection with a family-safe DNS profile, alongside explicit media restrictions and app removal prevention while protection is active.

What happens when I use the Panic Button in Urge?

The Panic Button is for high-risk moments. It can display your reasons for quitting, goals, 'why' photos, or a live camera mirror. It also initiates a fast down-shift breathwork sequence to help calm you.

Does Urge offer support after a relapse?

Yes, if you relapse, Urge helps you acknowledge that the moment doesn't erase progress, name the trigger, write out what happened, take a breath, sign a 24-hour recommitment, and immediately restart your streak without a shame spiral.

What kind of lessons are included in Urge's recovery curriculum?

The curriculum covers topics like why willpower fails, senses and triggers, the dopamine trap, using explicit content as an emotional escape, loneliness, urge surfing, breathing protocols, discharging tension, reframing slips, boredom tolerance, and building self-compassion.

Does Urge have ads?

No, Urge does not contain advertisements. It is a completely ad-free experience for users focused on recovery.
