Ratings and reviews

Its taken a little trial and error to get used to setting and planning recurring 'sessions', but this App has been able to help me create the boundaries I've been missing in my life. Our phones have become the new drug. If you have a drug addiction and you want out, you don't keep drugs at arms reach. This app is helping me change the way I live and has saved me from needing to resort to a dumb phone or flip phone. I can still use selected apps & totally block the internet when I need to.

Almost perfect. This app has the key feature of preventing "overrides" when the blocking sessions are running. A few additional UX changes are needed to earn the 5 star rating: 1. Create multiple block lists for apps. This feature exists indirectly by blocking domain names used by apps, though setting this up is inconvenient. 2. "Grey out" or block the app icons in the phones home/app screen. 3. Timers that block an app after being open for some preset amount of time.

I purchased the lifetime subscription a couple weeks ago and it has already made a huge impact on my life. Here's how it helps me: (1) it works on all of my devices (1 Mac computer, 2 windows computers, 1android phone, and 1 Android tablet), (2) it syncs with all devices for a recurring schedule, (3) it actually closes apps and websites on all devices. Freedom kicks me off my blocked apps more than expected. It's clear that going on some apps, like social media, is habitual.

What's new

- Improved the notification for an active session
- Fixed the bug when the color theme resets after restart
- Fixed the bug when the DND mode is kept enabled after a session ends
- Improved the stability of the app

Stay healthy out there. We are thinking of you here at Freedom HQ. Thank you for using Freedom!
