An editorial reading of the saved reviews

Cape hides apps and partially works on a schedule, but location-based scheduling is unreliable, and after updates hidden apps sometimes fail to return or, conversely, fail to disappear.

This app is a sanity saver. It allows me to automatically block work apps when I'm at home. If my younger children want to play in my phone I can block all apps including those calls that you dread having to explain how your three year old just called your boss at 6 am and you had no clue.
