Ratings and reviews

Update: changing from 3 to 5 stars, this app has done nothing but consistently improve! A+ :) This the best free one out there right now, but it does have its issues. No way to turn off usage reminders in the app, and when I have Firefox actively blocked and accidentally go to open it, it will cause Firefox to open a whole bunch of new tabs, and get stuck trying to close the app. I've had upwards of 80 tabs opened. Very annoying. If they fixed those it'd be 5 stars.

The premium version is everything you could ever want in a phone usage management app! Even the free version is pretty useful and the price for the premium is pretty affordable, especially if you get a discount offer like I did. I love that it has a dark mode and shows you detailed analytics of your phone usage and there's so many customization options for app/phone blocking so you can access exactly what you need to when you need to without any of the excess.

This app is great until you accidentally quick block your phone for days at a time and then the pause feature won't work, and you legit can't get access to your phone at all. I had to restart my phone 4 times and race to find the app to try and uninstall it before it had time to load. I BARELY managed it on the 4th try. Fix the pause feature on quick block. It kept trying to tell me to upgrade, but even the upgrade screen wouldn't properly display.
