   Might as well look up shortcuts. This app is not worth the money. You basically have to do everything yourself and it is essentially just a container for some explainer videos on how to use shortcuts. And, worst of all, it didn’t even work after I went through the steps. Avoid this app!

   محودیتاش حتی بعد از پاک کردن هم برداشته نمیشه. ‌

3. ★★★★★crashes, freezes and errors

   🥶🥶🥶🥶. 1 звезда. Это одно из самых опасных приложений, которые я когда-либо устанавливал. Я случайно активировал блокировку всех приложений, будучи абсолютно уверенным, что смогу легко отключить её внутри самого приложения или хотя бы после удаления приложения. Но оказалось иначе. После активации блокировки мой iPhone буквально превратился в кирпич на целый час. Не работало почти ничего: приложения были заблокированы, камера не открывалась, телефон стал практически бесполезен. Самое ужасное: удаление приложения НЕ сняло блокировку. Даже сброс настроек iPhone до заводских параметров НЕ помог. Я перепробовал всё, включая настройки Screen Time, но безрезультатно. Единственным способом вернуть телефон к жизни оказалось полное стирание устройства и восстановление из резервной копии. Если бы у меня не было backup, последствия были бы катастрофическими. Разработчики, это критическая проблема. Приложение не должно иметь возможность настолько глубоко ломать работу телефона без очевидного аварийного способа отключения. У пользователя должен быть понятный emergency override: PIN, таймер отмены, кнопка разблокировки или хотя бы предупреждение крупным текстом перед активацией. Сейчас это выглядит не как инструмент продуктивности, а как потенциально опасный софт, способный полностью заблокировать устройство. English (for developers): 1 star. This is one of the most dangerous apps I have ever installed. I accidentally activated the “block all apps” mode, fully expecting that I could easily disable it inside the app, or at least remove the restriction by deleting the app. That was not the case. After activation, my iPhone basically turned into a brick for an entire hour. Almost nothing worked. Apps were blocked, even the camera stopped working, and the phone became nearly unusable. The worst part: deleting the app did NOT remove the restriction. Even resetting iPhone settings to factory defaults did NOT help. I tried everything, including Screen Time settings, with no success. The only way to recover my phone was to completely erase the device and restore it from a backup. If I had no backup, this could have been catastrophic. Developers, this is a critical design flaw. No productivity app should be able to lock down a phone this aggressively without a clear emergency override. Users need a safe escape option: PIN override, cancel timer, unlock button, or at minimum a large warning before activation. Right now this feels less like a productivity tool and more like dangerous software capable of completely locking a device.

   BADDDDDD👿. I don’t recommend using this app at alllll I promise you will hate it

5. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

   Haptics after update? Only removable if you pay.. I used to love using one sec, but after an update the app now includes very annoying haptics that aren’t possible to remove without upgrading to the paid version. I guess I’m not surprised, as every decent app eventually makes updates that no longer serve its free users. I’ll be looking elsewhere for another app. So long, one sec, and so long your annoying haptics that I refuse to pay money to remove.

6. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

   For developer: missing a lot, please read everything. Correct me if Im misunderstanding anything. This is coming from a developer of multiple years first of all let’s start off with how almost every single feature is paid. I know that the you developers need the payment to continue working on it well, but some features that are behind a paywall are GENUINELY necessities that shouldn’t cost a dollar. For example you can’t even intervention block more than a single app without getting the subscription, and if you tested the app well you would know that most people need to block more than 1 app. Surprise surprise if TikTok is blocked I’ll just switch to Insta. second I shouldn’t have to create a shortcuts automation every time I add an app to one sec. other focus apps allow you to block multiple apps in seconds. “linking” an app twice for each block/intervention is a bit redundant, it should just let me choose what apps i wanna block from a list. then there’s the fact there’s very little securing of your blocks unless you pay. it’s TOO easy to just delete the Shortcuts Automation to stop the app blocking forever, or just use the TikTok.com instead of the TikTok app (cause strict blocking is paid too…) It’s also REALLY annoying how a bug fix was turned into a Pro feature (Intentional App Switching). Normally if you got timed out from an app, you would close the app for 5 minutes, take a break, and come back after 5 minutes. Well with one sec you have to wait the full 5 minutes INSIDE the app to be able to use it again, or you’ll have to wait for the timeout to expire every, single time you reopen the app. Only way to fix this? get pro which is stupid The last straw was when the stupid intervention feature wasn’t working properly at all. I needed to use YouTube for an emergency but every time I went through the intervention YouTube was still blocked. Don’t make so many features paid if the basic ones aren’t even working properly. Developer, correct me if I misunderstood anything but in my opinion it’s not the most effective and a bit cash grabby. there are other focus apps like Opal with the same features for free

   Should be 5 but. I get so annoyed with this app but it does what it said it does lol.

8. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Doesn’t work very well. Does the job but constant to wants me to re set the app up and take their stupid quiz every time I open it before I can use it. Starts to get very annoying.

9. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Too complicated to set up. It takes 2 apps to set up - this is too hard for my ADD brain

10. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Prove me wrong. I downloaded this app after trying Structured and Awake. If it worked, it’d be a perfect complement. But it doesn’t. The app doesn’t connect to Screen Time, and you can’t add apps/sites to be blocked. Developer has a note prompting users to send a report to Apple — that doesn’t work, either. I’d love to be proven wrong about this app, but the lack of recent posts and high scores from over a year ago make me skeptical.

11. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Braindead UX. Why the f I have to input website URL????? Just keep it simple and allow select multiple apps. What on earth is wrong with you?

12. ★★★★★crashes, freezes and errors

    not working ??. i usually love this app but it just ?? stopped working ?? it no longer pops up whenever i open the apps im trying to stay off of

13. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Easy to bypass-useless. This app is useless. All you have to do to turn it off is go to screen time settings. Waste of money

14. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Why do we have to pay all apps?. I downloaded like 5 apps and that was the last one and I don’t wanna pay so please don’t want money from people for this kind of things.There is no app which doesn’t want money

15. ★★★★★saving, exporting or sharing the result fails

    Cannot delete. I can not delete it off my Mac every time I try to delete it. It says it is open and I cannot force quit it do not download. I am warning you one star

16. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Way too expensive. I mean cmon, $100 to use the app with more than just instagram? Wth? Why do I gotta pay you $100 to limit other apps on my phone. I know that’s the point of the app, but dawg. $100? No thanks

17. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Doesn’t do what I wanted. App blocking is buggy and inconsistent, especially if you want to lock your phone down and only get access to a few apps. Can only schedule blocks on a whole hour. Despite the fact that I paid for a whole year of access, I’ll be looking for a different app blocking option.

18. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    They got greedy. Now they demand you to pay if you want to use it for more than one app. Shameless greedy developers

19. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Only works with one app unless you pay. You can’t set up extra apps unless you get pro.

20. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Doesn’t actually open the app for the time you set. I like this app in concept, i like the breathing feature and stuff. Theres just one problem. if i open an app and set it to only, 5 mins for example, it’ll stretch out WAY beyond that. on my last test it went all the way to 15. I'm accidentally using the apps for way longer. Literally defeating the entire purpose of downloading.

21. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Trash. Most useless app ever

22. ★★★★★data, history or progress disappears

    app broke my iphone. after deleting the app and whipping my phone their screentime widget still has access to my health and screentime/personal data. They made it so there is no way to delete it and, it has broke my settings app so much to the point where its incomprehensible now.

23. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Trash produce money grab. Supports only 1 app for free. Needs manual config, which reports error if uninstalling the APP. Magnificent trash. Engineering nightmare.

24. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Filters keep bugging. I’ve been using this app for a few weeks and really like all the features they provide. I would easily give it 4-5 stars but recently I’ve run into a lot of bugs that cause the filters I have set to not work anymore. First it started with the instagram app, now none of filters for YouTube or Reddit work. I really hope the devs fix these bugs because the app has a lot of potential.

25. ★★★★★trial charges and refunds

    Scam. I wasn’t given a free trial, I was charged immediately. Support was an automatic message bc they apparently have that happen a lot. When their response wasn’t helpful I messaged back and got the EXACT SAME RESPONSE. The app is also just poorly set up.

26. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    this is rhe worst app ever!. I HAVE TO PAY JS SO I CAN SET the app thingy. i have to sign in everytime i open the dang app. not worth it

27. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Bad. Absolutely useless if you don’t pay. Made me sign in every single time I opened the app. Don’t get it. It’s not worth it.

28. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Trash, wants you to pay for the main feature. Title is self explanatory

29. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Annoying. Stop taking free features and putting them behind paywalls.

30. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Used to work perfectly before the latest update. It will block the apps sometimes and sometimes it won’t. It will block apps for a period of time (let’s say 5 hours) and then when I go and block again, it says that it is blocking but it ends up not blocking at all. This wasn’t an issue before the latest update
