### 5/5 — Great app!

*2024-04-29*

This app is great! It helps me stay off my phone and get the exercise I need. Definitely needed in the age of addictive social media!!! They’re always pushing out new updates as well to get even more bang for your buck. 5 stars well deserved!

**Developer response:** Thank you! I’m glad you think it’s great

### 1/5 — Apps don’t unlock

*2025-12-21*

My apps didn’t unlock after I hit my step goals for the day

**Developer response:** Hey Kiraazzzy, sorry about that. WalkLock should unlock around the time you hit your step goal, so something’s off here.

A few quick things that usually fix it:
1. Close WalkLock, then reopen it once after you hit your goal (it forces a fresh Health sync)
2. iPhone Settings → Health → Data Access & Devices → WalkLock → make sure Steps is enabled
3. If you use an Apple Watch, step data can sometimes arrive late — try opening WalkLock a bit later
4. If still stuck: toggle locking off → on in WalkLock, or restart your phone

If you’re willing, please email me: andreasink17@gmail.com so we can chat, thanks!

### 3/5 — Pro Plan Confusion

*2026-04-04*

I haven’t actually used the app yet but so far it looks reliable and useful. I’m excited to actually try it out but I was wanting the pro plan. It’s advertised as 12.99/year but when I go to pay it says 19.99/year? Which is it and it shouldn’t be advertised as 12.99 if it’s not true. SEEMS LIKE A GREAT APP THO

**Developer response:** I'm sorry about that but thank you for mentioning this!  I submitted a fix for the price issue, just waiting for app review to approve the fix. 

For context: I updated the price but it did not update the screen in app properly.

Glad you like the app so far otherwise! Email andreasink17@gmail.com - happy to share a promo code there to make up for the issues :)

### 4/5 — New update broke it

*2025-10-29*

Had my step counter on daily hit my daily goal and won’t unlock my apps

**Developer response:** thanks for the heads up, I’ll look into this and push a fix as quickly as I can! 

Sorry for the issue, if you have any more feedback please email me at andreasink17@gmail.com thanks!

### 5/5 — Thank you!

*2026-09-05*

This is an incredible concept I am so excited to try. Just what I need to help reach fitness goals and have accountability before letting apps distract me.

**Developer response:** Thank you! I really appreciate it!!

### 5/5 — Awesome app!

*2026-03-10*

Really great for holding myself accountable as someone with a busy life. Great work.

**Developer response:** Thanks!!

### 5/5 — Love it

*2026-01-13*

Easy to use and very good idea!

**Developer response:** Thanks!

### 5/5 — Helped me build better habits!

*2025-04-08*

I've been using this app for over a week now and it cured my addiction to Reddit and YouTube! It's way better than ScreenTime since it basically works in reverse. I have a 5,000 step goal so I can't use those apps unless I leave the house, which encourages me to go walk around the park or go to the gym instead of scrolling on my phone.

**Developer response:** Happy to hear that, thank you :)

### 5/5 — Accountability Hack

*2025-03-13*

This app makes it super easy to get in exercise if you have a difficult time committing to a daily schedule. By locking your favorite apps, it requires you to get out and get your steps in so you can earn access.

**Developer response:** Ayo, thanks!

### 5/5 — Great for New Year’s resolutions!

*2025-03-13*

As a college student, this app has helped me keep track of my screen time but in a much better way that other app blockers. I’ve tried a handful and rewarding me with screen time just by walking is incredibly beneficial!

**Developer response:** Thank you, glad to hear it’s beneficial!

### 5/5 — Helped me use my phone less

*2025-03-06*

I enjoyed that I wasn’t as tempted to use my phone because I had to complete my step goal first. This made me feel more energetic and ready to tackle my day, cool app!

**Developer response:** That’s awesome! Love to hear it, thank you :)

### 5/5 — Great app to control screentime

*2025-03-05*

This app works like a charm. I use it for Uber Eats and Postmates and this app ensures that I do some workout before giving into my cravings every morning. Sometimes i even go and get takeout because ordering apps are locked and that has also helped me explore local cafes and restaurants.

**Developer response:** Lol that is creative, keep up the great work!

### 5/5 — An amazing way to reduce screen time and exercise!

*2025-03-04*

First of all, the whole experience of using the app is great, the UI feels so smooth and it’s a very simple and intuitive app to use. I’ve found that this app does an amazing job of forcing me to either exercise more or use my phone less, both two great options!!!

**Developer response:** Thank you!!

### 5/5 — Friendly Interface

*2024-04-30*

This app is so easy to use and looks amazing! Totally recommend!

**Developer response:** Thanks!
