I struggle with self control so having an app that actually keeps me out without like a password or anything is just perfect, the layout is simple, you can still call and text if you have to, the ads aren't intrusive (unlike most free apps nowadays) I don't think I have any complaints. Thank you :D Edit: I found out that you can actually turn it off when the timer is going by going to texting, going to where you can see active apps, and clearing cold turkey, it took a while to figure out though

Hi Sumayah. We recently updated the app to reflect the abusing cases you mentioned. Could you try downloading the latest version from the Play Store and see if it unlocks? If you have any further issues, please feel free to contact us via the in-app contact form. Thank you!

Does exactly what you would expect. This app is the only app that blocks your phone that cannot be bypassed, forcing you to actually stay off your phone. Is completely free, unlike other apps with locked fuctionality. Has ads, but they are very unintrusive (simple popup at bottom of screen). Definitely the best app of its type on the Google Play Store.

I think this app is great so far and looking into using it in the way that may meet more of my expectations. and one thing I'd suggest is that would it be possible for if to lockout an app at random or at collectively and can it have like a schedule to select more than one time slot that would have like breaks
