Can’t keep up with iOS

This app worked well enough in its free version that I went ahead and bought premium. It seemed to do great for about two days and then suddenly I was able to fully access all my blocked apps, during the time they should have been blocked. Not just cached material, either—full access to everything, phone overriding the app and rendering it completely useless.

The only way to make it work again is to disable the schedule and then re-enable it, which somehow reactivates the restrictions. Sometimes I have the self-control to do this and sometimes not. But I had been considering putting this on my kids’ devices, and now I know there is no point—they won’t voluntarily turn it on when it stops working.

I have read that Apple makes it extremely hard for 3rd party apps to have any control over your use, so I assume there’s just some kind of glitch between AppBlock and iOS. Four stars because when this thing works, it works fine; one off because it doesn’t work consistently.

Hello DD, Thank you for your honest feedback. Currently, we are experiencing issues with some Apple's extension. This issue also occurs in other applications and we hope that Apple fix it soon. We are still working on possible fixes and releasing new versions that should help. I hope you can understand. When the blocking gets more stabile, please consider giving us just a one more star. Thank you and have a wonderful day. :)

Without premium it’s useless to me

Personally I downloaded this app with one intent, I wanted to set a time limit on Pinterest because it’s the only social media I have, and I was spending way too much time on it every day just scrolling aimlessly. It was such a time waster and I would mindlessly scroll through memes that I would forget in 2 minutes. I wanted to put a time limit on how much I could use it every day. That’s literally it. First, without premium you can only set it for one day out of the week. Boom, instantly useless for me. Next, the time limit is only 30 minutes it would be blocked, the rest of the time it wouldn’t be. That is also useless to me. 30 minutes is so little that I’d blink and be back on Pinterest scrolling again. I don’t really care to check out the other features since I didn’t want this app for that, and based off of this alone I’d assume you can do nothing without premium and I don’t really want to pay for that. I’ll just have to try to be stricter on myself and catch myself when I’m scrolling, or find an app that won’t make me pay for a basic feature like this in an app made for it. If you wanna pay, this app would be useful. For me, not at all. I deleted it immediately. That’s all.

Thank you and have a nice day.

Good but it used to be better

I love this app and pay for premium because it really does help me stay off of social media and feel more in control of my days. However, I still use Snapchat as a primary way of contacting several people and used to be able to block the app for a certain amount of time per hour instead of the whole day. Is this no longer a feature? I dislike the idea of needing to set a time for the entire day as sometimes I can have conversations that last a while, but I still want to limit my access so I don’t scroll the other features on it. Since I have no issue blocking my socials, I find myself using Snapchat more and more, especially later at night. Is there an option to use it only when connected to a charger? As well as a way to see the time remaining when a time limit is selected so I have a visual of how much time is left for me to use Snapchat? Or some way to add these features? I think these additions would greatly improve the quality of this app.

Hi! I'm sorry about this! Unfortunately, there is no way to get your Android premium to iOS, as this is not an option that Google and Apple provide. If you want to, you can reach out to us at apple@appblock.app and we can give you some discount, to make your new iOS subscription more enjoyable! :) And if you otherwise like our app, please consider giving it a few more stars, thank you! :)
