For the good reviews this had, it is a terrible app blocker. The settings never save, and there is a weird restriction on how soon you can change the settings of your restrictions. I tried to change the skip restriction setting, and it always changed back to at least one skip when I wanted no skips. The notifications are constant, and if you turn them off, it yells at you to turn it back on, and the alert never goes away.

Hello, Alma, thanks for a comprehensive review. The restriction timer is only for the strict mode. It's optional. The app doesn't yell at you to turn notifications back on, and they are optional. Which alert never goes away and which settings never save? Please clarify by emailing support@bubbleapps.co.uk It will help us make things right 😊😊

I use this app to block other apps at bedtime, to prevent my using them after it is time to go to sleep. StayOff does this very well. However, I don't want the app to keep popping up on my phone screen during the day, intruding with widgets charting precisely how many minutes I've spent doing this or that. It's irritating. When I try to make that stop, it keeps happening. I do not need to be informed by StayOff of how effective StayOff is. Please add a "shut off all but blocking" button.

Horrible. I'm someone who is disciplined and knows that I spend too much time on social media, and with StayFree it was easy for me to cheat, having a window of the app that I'm limiting myself on open. So, I decided to install this app, hoping it would be any better, but no. I set a limit to YouTube for 1 minute a day to test it, I got nothing. This is a waste of data and storage, do not download it.

Hi, this isn't normal. I'm sure there is a reason why block hasn't worked after a minute. Also I'd like to hear about your ideas about preventing cheating, this will help us with the next release. Please email me at support@bubbleapps.co.uk Thanks Caroline 👋🏼
