Ratings and reviews

I just downloaded your app and it looks exactly what I need, But I tested it and it feels like it's not working all the time : 1. Apps open against time rules 2. It didn't count some launches and the time I spent at those times. It seems like just after I open your app it takes control, but when I just randomly try it's not continuesly. It's important to be able to relay on it. and sometimes when it starts with notifications, it 'get crazy' and does'nt stop. Ways to make it work better?

Its strange really... sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I have rules set for social media apps. When it goes past 9pm its not supposed to let you in the app until the time set, which I chose as 6am. Sometimes it works like a charm, allowing me to get to sleep in good time. Other times, it's like I never had the app. I went on Instagram at 11pm out of habit and after liking a few pics, realised I wasn't being notified or kicked out. I opened the detox app and found the settings were on.

Great app! I use it to limit how much I zone out on Reddit, the little toast notifications keep me more mindful of my usage. I like how flexible the rules are, and that you can stack them for a single app (e.g., limiting both time and launches). The fact that you can pause rules as well is useful for me, because there are times when I want to have free access, and times that I don't (though you can also disable this feature if needed).
