Ratings and reviews

Honestly, the app isn't bad, but I was pissed to find that it help my phone hostage when the trial ended. I had ended my subscription in advance, since I didn't want any surprise charges, but when the trial ended, it locked all functionality on my phone until I purchased a subscription. There was no way for me to reach the settings page, so I had no option to simply remove the app instead.

It's pretty good but sometimes easy to get around the features that are meant to reduce screen time. One feature I would LOVE to see is a schedule for automatic blocking of apps - for example setting a bedtime or work time when all of my selected social media apps are blocked, automatically, every day. I know I can block them manually but often I forget to do so. I would also love to be able to set an app usage limit per day. If either of these are beta options I'd love to test them out.

Note to devs: This is NOT about web links. I like the concept, but it's so restrictive that it decreases productivity. All I wanted to do was add a custom shortcut to my calendar and one to my task app, but that's not possible. You can make shortcuts to the camera and the phone only (two of my least used apps). The dev responded to this but mistakenly thought I was referring to a web shortcut. I am referring to the icons in the bottom corners of the home screen. Those should be customizable..
