Help! I REALLY LIKE YOUR APP!! BUT I think something is wrong with your app. It keeps closing on its own when I open it. The notification in the pull down bar says "no profile currently active". I had shut all the profiles off for the weekend and now I can't get in to turn them back on. I already uninstalled and reinstalled and after the first 2 mandatory introductory prompts, the same thing is happening.

Great app! I'm happy with it but would love to see a couple features added: 1. Setting up different passwords for different blocking profiles, instead of one password for all. 2. Longer times on instant blocks. I'd like to set up one app to be blocked for over a month, but the app only goes up to 24 hrs.

Genuinely quite helpful, I struggle with putting whatever I'm reading down to go to sleep and it's been a good support for that. I do have some minor quibbles. I wish I could turn off the "x opens a day" feature, instead of that being a default. The actual blocking could work faster, the way it takes a moment allows some weird loopholes. Super Strict Mode doesn't let you modify *any* profile, not just active ones. But ultimately this is something I'm happy to have paid for.

I've downloaded several apps like this, and this one is my favorite, it does exactly what I want it to do. Honestly I would give it five stars if the apps that were in "active" block mode were greyed out, like other apps do. There are actual studies that show when color is removed, it's less appealing to click. Also it would just remind me "this app is currently being blocked" without me actually having to click on it.

Very good- you can create multiple schedules, and choose the time span and apps for the blockage. HOWEVER- the app will automatically 'go to sleep' if you haven't physically opened the app in a while, which has meant that you can keep scrolling into the wee hours without realising the time, because the app doesn't kick in. If the little icon isn't in the top bar of your phone it isn't active.

Great app with lots of customization. If your a pro user though it's easy to bypass. And knowing myself, I always do that. 2 major issues are, as soon as you make use of your phones ultra battery saving mode, it kills the app and you can continue procrastinating. The other issue is that no app has access to system code to block access to these loopholes. This alone makes the app redundant for pro users. The developer will need to include these functions for rooted phones.

Potential to be really good. No way to save which apps to block for "instant blocks" which I wanted to use twice per hour or better yet create a profile for instant blocks. Also disappointing that there is no website blocking functionality. What's the point of blocking social apps if you can't also block the websites? I would buy premium if functionality improved and I could see it was reliable.

I've been looking for something to break my bad habit of looking at social media for hours on end. My phone does not allow me to automatically shut down. This app has literally been a life changer. At 9.30pm every night this app prevents me from looking at any of the time-consuming culprits I.e insta, fb and utube (you can select which apps you want to stop running and at a time suited to you). This has in turned freed up time to do the important things in my life. It's easy and free. Thank you
