Absolutely the only app that actually works to get me off my phone. I set it to allow texts and nothing else nearly all the time. (Tip: turn off the "watch ad to unlock phone" feature.) You'll be amazed at how much new time you have to engage with the real world. Thank you!!! Note: sometimes an alarm will ring that I forgot about and I won't be able to turn it off. That's my fault, but usually if I'm quick enough I can slide the cancel button before the screen gets blocked by Off the Grid.

Glad you like it! You can whitelist your alarm app if you want to use it while Off the Grid.

Good for getting me off my phone at night. You can set 1 app as an exception when off grid, after that you have to buy the premium version to set more. You have the option to still receive phone calls while off grid, and there is an emergency feature so that you can make calls. Edit: In response to the developer's question, in order for me to give the app 5 stars it would need to be more reliable. Sometimes (maybe 2-3 times a month) it does not turn on at the scheduled time.

Thanks Lauren, this is usually due to Android shutting down apps running in the background. You should be able to head into Settings, Apps, Off the Grid. You should see a place to tap for Battery (sometimes this is under "Advanced"). Under Battery Usage you might see an option to restrict background usage. You should turn this off.

Everything looked great. Set up everything and hit go off grid. I clicked the make call button and then the home button. Was instantly taken to my home screen and I had full access to my phone. Went back to the app and it didn't even say anything about being in off grid mode. It was as if I never started it. Response: I tried with both checked and both unchecked. Same issue.

Hi Skylar, thank you. I was able to replicate this bug and have submitted it to our programmers for review. Sorry for the trouble this is causing you. :(
