Link to premium?

FartFart44

Y’all would probably make a lot more money if y’all made it easier to buy premium. I’ve used all the trials and there’s no link or anything telling me where to go to upgrade.

....until it stopped blocking the Instagram app on my phone. I run a business and I need to have Instagram in my phone since there’s no other convenient way to post photos (yes, I know that I can do it on a browser work around, but I partition my computer and I’m not always on the right side). I need this app to keep me from scrolling through Instagram all of the time, that is why I bought it and it was a miracle. And now it’s not. I’m really hoping that they will come through soon and I can change my rating to 5 stars, since it really is great on the computer (Mac, not fabulous on the windows partition side. I use cold turkey for that).

Can't upgrade

Luciguzi

I'm in the free trial. There's no way to upgrade now!! I want the automaticity features that only come in the premium version, but it won't let me spend that darn 99 cents until I've used all 7 of my free (manual) sessions.

Good idea, bad execution

After about an hour, you'll be able to go on a few sites, even if the app is running in the background, and it will not block the sites at all

Impossible

Kindypop

The features were not useful. This app is impossible to get a refund from. They make you jump through 75 hoops to refund your money and terminate your subscription. Save yourself the headache.

Doesn't work

Installed and reinstalled several times and still this app doesn't work

So good

This app is so helpful! I am very thankful for the control it has given me! One suggestion: I want to be able to "Block all apps and websites EXCEPT _____" . That way I can block everything but Spotify after 9:30pm.

Save me from myself!

Updating after nearly a year of using: for a while I thought I had to open the app to start my block session, but I recently realized It hadn't turned on the VPN block automatically. Go to settings & VPN, then enable freedom to automatically update VPN. I believe it's a slider button that says PERSONAL VPN. It will start your scheduled block sessions without having to open the app each time. This app has been wonderful. I ended up purchasing the full year membership at half price with a coupon code. I now have it running on my phone & computer, so between 9a-6p The Bermuda Triangle of apps is off limits. I've been so much more productive as a result. Never realized how much time I was wasting mindlessly.

Use Everyday but Some Serious Flaws

Moni5631

I'm going to start out by saying I use this app everyday. It's incredibly helpful and even tho I know it's on I still will try to go to Facebook but thankfully I'll have Freedom turned on so I quickly return to work/studying. As developer tho, I need to do a lot of Googling for my job. I tried blocking GMAIL and it blocked every website with "google" in the domain. This was very frustrating to find out. Some random websites would also get blocked. I tried doing homework and going on Chegg on my computer but that also got blocked (even tho I hadn't set it). Still really confused with that. Could just be my internet tho because I have the Chegg app and it was working just fine on my phone. Love the app, hate the bugs. Thanks

It seems Apple is holding this app back

Greprepper30

Apple needs to let apps like this actually function. I have ADHD and being able to "cheat" this app is so frustrating. Android even has an ap that makes you pay $1 to charity if you access your phone except emergency calls. I want that even. This app should be a breeze for apple.
