I don't review often, but this app is really awesome. And I mean, just wow, I have this habit of being in phone, without any purpose, lazying out. it all started in the lockdown, and I genuinely have no purpose of being on the screen all the time. The fact that there is a lock screen, that itself suffices me to go and do things that are important. it saved so much of my time, I guess the previous 3 hrs or so and many more. Thank you developers, I love it how strict you guys are 😉 :)
Pretty solid app that I've used on and off for the past 3 years. My favorite feature is the schedule lock where you can determine which times you can change settings. However, I'm now switching to the Lock Me Out app because I've decided I want to allow a select few websites instead of blocking the whole browser.
There's a loophole, a flaw, an irritating bug that compels and tempts me to quit: while on a detox, after pressing “quit” on the bottom right corner, I inadvertently pressed the “switcher” button, for an instance I see the detox's panel, then flickers back to the homescreen. Repeating the process, I struggled to remove the detox panel (swiped it out of existence) and succeeded, unfortunately, thereby providing an exit; its easy to do after a few tries; a great app regardless.
My overall experience for this app was fabulous. It strictly prevents me from using my phone. Unfortunately I had to deduct one star for a serious problem, it's that the app crashes automatically by itself without any interference allowing me to access all the blocked apps also. For eg I set the timer for tomorrow but it crashed today only. Kindly look into it but other than that this app is amazing.
It's seriously changing my life for the better!! I'm so glad I downloaded this. i've finished a 7 day detox so far, I'm looking to start a 30 day challenge int he near future. Love this app! Something I would love to be added is that we can set alarms. Also play music. That's all. I love this app!
Great app. I just wanted to say that: people, always, and i repeat, ALWAYS DOUBLE CHECK YOUR WHITELISTS. because in my afternoon to evening schedule, i forgot to add my work whitelist to it, so i was locked out of my phone for 4 hours =) And as i don't have access to payment methods(due to region limitations) i basically just had to wait until now. This of course is my fault and won't effect my review in any way. Also, well done for not leaving any way to bypass the restrictions :))
Everything is great except for one thing. Can you put a feature where you can't uninstall the app immediately. I use all the features but if I don't feel like following my detox schedule i delete the app before the time. Which is not supposed to be the case. Please do like bulldog blocker. You have to wait for a day even days after deactivating for you to be able to uninstall it. By that time the temptation has passed and you will simply reactivate the app. Please add this feature too.
Best app, very useful in daily life to focus on off-screen tasks and also very helpful for people that has phone addiction.But please there's still a problem there's a time that the app on the screen doesn't stay longer it always back to home that's why i always press back the app. Please fix this i dont know what to do !!!!!!
I find really a good app. It helps me many times. By one click, I'm free from my phone. But there's some bugs when I answer a call. The screen to control the call can't be reached.
So far so good. Works better than anything else and allows many options for white list of apps. The emergency use features are perfect-- a five minute out is just what I need. The schedule options could tweak -- either give me a copy option or a multiple day option. Workday and weekend aren't great for nights-- I want to block the phone at ten pm on Sundays but 11 pm on Fridays for example. So for now I have a different schedule for every night. Other than that, it seems to work great.
This is a critical review .... There is a loophole in this app As the one can take the emergency use of 2 min and in between that can uninstall the app . Thus he won't be able to detox himself . I request to kindly make some correction in the app so that the person can not uninstall the app during the detox time And thus make your app best .... Hope to see this rectification soon
The detox app works and prevents the access to apps that aren't a part of the whitelist. However I see a notification in the drop down saying "running detox" even when I am not and it disappears in 2 seconds. Kindly get rid of the bug.
i think this is the best app among the such applications related to phone addiction. all applications which i examined asked me for sensitive permissions. But this app asked me for such permissions only when i want to block special apps in the phone and it is optional. But there is a trick in the app. When you set challenge, the app give you three breaks and when you use break, you can quit app. so I suggest you set the number of breaks to zero. Thus, you will not to able yo quit challenge.
It's honestly amazing. Sometimes after quitting a challenge it takes a while to get back to normal. Otherwise great app, best digital detox app there is. I can't wait to see it improve. It would be nice if the Todo tips screen would be improved, like right now everything is in white which is confusing we can't even see what we write, and there's no reason the to do tips are a tiny white space, sometimes the tip is long and we want to see all of it.
It's flexibility is what really makes this app so awesome. For example, I can schedule "lights out" when I want. That's really important as a shift worker trying to unwind but losing site of when I need to switch off. There are so many features I don't use but love knowing they exist. AND it will integrate with another amazing app "Sleep" Customer support had been nothing short of brilliant with a new feature in development due to my mentioning it in an off hand manner.
Very effective and reliable app. It works and I trust it. Unlike at least one other app I tried, it doesn't require permission to see/record the screen at all times. The detox schedule option could be improved by allowing a scheduled to be applied to individual days, for example, Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Otherwise, though, I like it.
I think you're app is so good and powerful for be phoneless but the biggest problem here is when someone call me or when my alarm comes up i can't do any work . So , it's better to have permission to do this . I'm waiting for your new update for this app and if you work on it it will be helpful apps to society. Thanks.
The app is great, but can u provide a way to add blacklisted app instead of whitelisting. There are few apps i am addicted to which i want blocked almost 90% of appsa re utility app i use only when required. I cant select 100s of app just to avoid few apps
I tried to set a detox for 30 days, and after a few hours it turned off by itself. This happened twice. Great when it works, but pretty rubbish when it doesn't.
Using this app from last 3-4 days and yes i can say that this app is something what i was looking for to end my phone addiction, generally i use this app 2-3 hours a day while im reading and ofcourse it helped me alot One thing i wanna request is to stop notifications as well when using the app , notifications are kind of some distraction which hinder one's from doing his pleasurable thing so the only request is to control notifications as well rather than that everything is perfect ❤️
The application is good but one thing which can create distractions is browser of the application. I think you should remove browser. unfortunately I😐 can access browser even after i don't allow it to use
Mostly, liking the app so far. The graphics are very colorful & helpful. Not happy however, about getting locked out much longer than expected on first time trying for what I thought was a few hours overnight. My understanding is that 3:30 am is the beginning of the same day, not the next? After midnight, I set what I thought was for a few hours to 3:30 am the same day, and it went to the next day. User error, I suppose? Needed phone by 8:00am, so paid the .99 to break in and start over! Blehh.
This app is fantastic but nowadays it automatically switches off due to some glitch. For eg if I keep a 2 days challenge then it ends in some minutes. Please solve this bug
It's good but some bugs are there .opening browser we can unlock it some time . & Turn off it. Improve the app. 4 🌟
Best app for detox..... It'll surely help you in getting off from the bars of phone and let you live a better life which you all ignored while using your phone.
Everything about this app is fantastic. In fact, might even help to add more challenging hours to help with detoxing. One complaint I have with the app is how it completely disables certain apps that are whitelisted in the settings. It had made it impossible to turn off alarm and pick up phone calls from important people. While detoxing is important, most people also need their phone to accomplish the basic things necessary. We shouldn't get rid of why we need phone now in the first place.
