Comments on HelpMeFocus - Block Apps, Stay for Android

★★★★★ austin porcoro · Jan 26, 2023

Honestly the best app I've found so far. It allows me to block certain apps for a certain time and allows me to open the app for 2, 5, or 10 minutes and makes you put a random password to put in, and it helps me not want to open the app because I'm to lazy to put the password in. This helps me focus better in school. Also, 5 dollars for other features is totally worth it. Thanks to the greatest of the app I'll get better grades in school.

★★★★★ Vaishnavi Sawant · Mar 14, 2023

Very helpful. Blocks the apps which distract me. I have been able to study efficiently because of this app.

★★☆☆☆ Aditya Raj · Feb 5, 2023

Whenever I restarted my phone this service is not working. Until and unless I open this app again. Please make this app like restricted mode work even restarting phone. Without opening this app. Many of my friends use this app to get away from home distraction. They set daily new profile and super strict mode on but within 2 hour they restart their phone and use all social media app. Even super strict mode is on but blocked app run. We have to go back to this app then this works. Thanks.

★☆☆☆☆ Night Fury Flame · Apr 6, 2023

Please help! I love this app and have used it for years, but recently it stopped working, as in it is no longer stopping me from opening apps when the profile is active. For example, it will let me open TikTok and scroll for hours like it forgets it's supposed to stop me from doing that. But if I get off TikTok and open the helpmefocus app then try to go back to TikTok it will suddenly kick in and stop TikTok from opening. But in this situation having to remind the app to do its job is pointless.
