Don’t do it

AirPenguin Player

You give over permissions to your iPhone on this app - Do not do it! I downloaded yesterday at 4am. By the time it was done they had gotten into my phone, then my gmail account then they tried to reset my password! Thankfully I had a second backup email they could not get the password reset through but this was after they had already pilfered through my private email account. Do not trust!

Doesn’t work. Horribly long set up for nothing

I wanted to use this app to lock myself out of my phone for studying, but the full lock feature says it can’t connect when I try to use it, even though I have full WiFi bars and I can use my internet to do literally anything else. Awful app

Apps don’t come back

This app works 70% of the time using full lock mode. But there were multiple times where I schedule full lock mode for 8 hours before I go to sleep, and my apps don’t come back. I have to go and uninstall the data management software which is tiresome. If it worked 100% of the time, I’d give 5 stars.

App No Longer Works

This app was great until a recent update. It's full lock mode no longer works and failed to end on my friend's phone. This is some shoddy programming. I'd look elsewhere.

Technological problems

I had the app hide my apps for 1 hour and it lasted 7. I had to email them for help. I also got premium and it wouldn't recognize it after a few weeks. There are definitely some technological problems with this app that need working on.

Please Fix the Icons Issue

So I love this app. It has helped me regain many hours back into my life. With that being said, I wish you didn’t have to download and install the add-on every single time! I was downloading/installing every time just in case anyway, but decided to not do it today because I still saw the “Flipd Organize” on my home screen. Nope. Even though it was still there from previous uses, I apparently still have to do it each time to keep my apps from being an absolute mess when they return. The only way to fix it is reset and restore my phone from my last backup. I will continue to use the app, but I really wish this could be resolved.

Totally messed up my phone

I used this for the first time and locked it for eight hours. I loved the fact that I couldn’t be distracted by it. However, when the eight hours were up, all of my apps were out of their folders and were all over the place. It took me a long time to get them put back. If it’s going to do that every time I lock it, no thanks. Also, it’s very cumbersome to get set up for use. Make it easy and people will use it. This wasn’t worth the effort when there are several other options that don’t screw up your apps and are easier to use.

Could be great—see below

I have two major problems with this app. First, after full-lock mode ends, I need to manually allow notifications for each and every app AGAIN. Can you imagine trying to do pomodoro with this? Second, how about the people who try to skirt the system (myself included)? Let’s be real, if you need full-lock, you also need a foolproof way to be locked out. I can break this lock by going into settings and removing the permissions I granted to go into full-lock mode. This may seem petty but imagine working on something with a deep work session that lasts 4 hours and then realizing you needed to do something on your phone midway through—completely destroys the purpose of this app

Disappointed

The idea of creating this kind of app was amazing. I had Flipd on my phone for approximately 8 months. At first, everything was working properly. After sometime, I got stuck numerous times in Flipd off mode and my apps didn’t want to come back. I decided to use other settings like 12 hours off but my minutes off line weren’t counted properly. Why it matters ? Because every month I wanted to spend 5 k more minutes off. I contacted the support team to get some help and I got none. This app needs to go...

Just what I needed!!!

I needed something super drastic like the Flipd full mode where all apps disappear. I have used a variety of apps but my addiction to mindlessly using my phone was too strong. I used the full mode today and instead of waking up Saturday morning spending my first waking hours on my phone I read a book I had sitting on my night stand for the past two months. I got the subscription after such a crazy productive day!
