An editorial reading of the saved reviews

A rich set of blocking rules and schedules, but automatic schedule-based triggering regularly breaks and requires a manual restart. Strict mode can be bypassed through Apple settings.

What users experience

2 excerpts from the breakdown. These are individual cases, not a verdict on all users.

I have ADHD and absolutely no concept of time. I'll scroll all day and have no idea it's been hours. This app gives me so many options to limit my screen time.

First off, I want to say that the people who have been emailing are lovely. But I want to point out that even on strict mode, you are able to go into Apple settings- apps- AppBlock- and disable screentime permissions. To do this you don't need an Apple screentime code, OR a code from app block.
