Doesn’t Work

I downloaded this app to help myself focus. I set up the filters for times in the day when I know I need quiet time. I tried to do a 5 minute “test” by clicking Focus Now. And it did nothing. I was still able to access apps that should be blocked, and Safari had full capabilities. I got an alert that a “website was blocked”, but nothing was.
Superb App

My cell phone addiction is gone. I went from 5 hours a day of usage to only 5 hours a month. I’ve become much more productive at work. I talk to my family and friends face to face instead of thru the phone and text. Only minor issues with the VPN but overall this is a superb app. I highly recommend it.
Taking my money
E!!ee
I had forgotten about the app and when my free week trial was up it kept running. I figured if I wasn’t actively using it, it would stop. It didn’t. It charged me for weeks I wasn’t using the app. I’m tired of my money getting taken away by this useless app. I want my money back. I wish there was a message sent to me before all this debt was racked up.
It doesn’t block any apps on iPhone

This is my first time to write a review. I am sorry but it is not working for my iPhone 7. It can’t block any apps on my phone. I can’t submit feedback either, although it seems it has a feedback/support feature and there is no submit button. I just bought it an hour ago and I would like to apply for an refund if possible.
Don't get pro! Impossible to cancel

Don't get the free version, at least not with an older iPhone. The VPN slows your phone down like crazy.
Does not block Facebook app

Got this primarily to block the Facebook app. It does a good job blocking the FB website, but the FB app still opens and refreshes.
Doesn't work

I have YouTube set up to be blocked. I have the usage time set for zero minutes. I can still access YouTube.
Free version didnt do anything.

So I wanted to give the app a try since it seems really interesting. Downloaded it only to find out you need to pay to be able to use it. Normally when you have an app that is free or has in app purchases it does something in the first place. I didn’t want to give my email or any other information since I get enough emails as it is and should be able to get all of the information I need on this app instead of also checking another location.
