Ratings and reviews

It was a good app to turn of distractions. There are room for improvements. First, the app needs more extended list of websites under different categories. There is also no exception feature. Some websites in its list may be a part of work related. Users should be able to include exceptions.

I love the multi-platform features but sadly the app is pretty primitive for the amount of marketing they do and money they charge. On Windows the app blocker simply terminates the programs. On Android there is no way to snooze the block - only to end the session. I have used Stay Focused and that app does much more much better. And on Windows Microsoft Family Safety does the same thing for free, with ability to extend or bypass block times and without terminating the apps and risk of data loss

Easy to use, really helpful reduction of temptation to distraction and digital addiction. Works smoothly across my phone, tablet, and computer. Does require a paid subscription but was like 20 something dollars for a whole year, which I find to be reasonable. My main complaint is that if you accidentally start a session with a mistake like an incorrect end date, the only way to end it is delete the app. There is supposedly an option to edit the session, but it does not work.
