Ratings and reviews

when it works, it's great. but every now and then it just... doesn't start when the scheduled time arrives, and once it foes that it never starts again, I have to reinstall and set it all up again. which is what I'm doing now 👋 edit: also, when it does that it makes audible notification noises, which is no good when you're in bed trying to get to sleep

Your app is almost perfect. There is one loophole I.e. hack. I can restart my phone and it takes 1 minute for it to kick in. That means I can just uninstall off-the-grid app completely in that window. That way paying for unlock is irrelevant. If you fix the restart gap, the app would be perfect! Otherwise, it makes it useless. Please fix this hack :). Looks like you don't update it anymore?

Update on May 1, 2024: Buggy again. Schedule is not working consistently. Back to only$25 option. There used to be a lower amount option. Update: the app has been improved and is working great. Thanks! 5 stars This app is exactly what I needed to help me get more sleep and be more productive. 5/2/24 -I just re-uploaded it. There used to be an option to pay a lower amount. Was that taken away?
