Comments on Pause it for Android

★★★★☆ Pankaj Dixit · Apr 2, 2025
App is actually useful the only thing which gives pain is if app is open in recent tab then it will work, and suddenly it gets turned off and WhatsApp resets again please fix this problem otherwise app is actually useful
★★★★★ S C · Oct 16, 2025
Holidays are holidays once more! I used another sim for a second WhatsApp for family to stay in touch, and can pause the main WhatsApp's relentless distractions. Thankfully it only Pauses the main WhatsApp. For me, it works better than just stopping notifications, as the sender can see that the message has not been delivered. And I like that you can still get the messages, but at a time of your choosing.

Possibly not what I was looking for. I want something that will pause apps without having to pause each one individually. Downloaded and pick the apps needed to pause and then this app wanted to install a VPn, for what reason it was unexplained, but I took the app off. Should not have to do a 3rd party software install in order to try the app, nor should my phone be monitored. Advertising in the free version is understandable, let me try the app without forcing a software install to do it.

So stupid app, why requires VPN just to pause an app??? That doesn't make any sense!!! What pausing or blocking app have to do with internet connection??? This is so stupid and the ADS made it even the worst app ever.

Description by ILESHKUMAR SHARMA Written by the developer, not by AppBrain. Click to read.
Pause It is the first app that lets you leave chosen app without internet connectivity. All remaining other apps of your device work the same with the internet.

With "Pause It" you can turn off disturbing app(s) whenever you feel few apps are disturbing too much and you don't even need to turn wifi/mobile data off.

Important: Make sure app you look to disable is not running in the background.

You can watch your favorite videos on youtube without distractions as only disturbing apps are having no internet connection.

You will have complete enjoyment of your choice without distraction.

Having a date with your loved one, with family or at office meeting where you need internet but no message distractions so just use Pause It. And distracting app will not cause you any more irritation to you.

We are just taking your chosen app out from the internet so you don't need to turn off wifi/mobile data.
For example : suppose a gamer wants to play a tournament and want to turn of all other apps ,then the gamer can select all other apps and put them to pause. so only the app which is not selected will have internet so gaming can be even more fun.
Yes, it's possible with Pause It now.

Pause It is the perfect app that lets you take control of your usage like never before.

Parental usage:The app also serves as a parental control tool, empowering parents to temporarily disable specific apps of their child's device to ensure focused and controlled usage.

🔷 Meeting Mode (Gaming mode) – Want to turn off a particular app(s) for a specific time duration then you just need to select the app and set the time duration. That’s it. The selected app will not have data/internet connection until the duration ends. Isn’t it magical? Gamers will love this while playing high-intensity games where all other apps data can be turned off, only a particular game will have internet/data. Only gaming. No disturbance.

How app works with VPN: When "Pause it" mode is enabled, the app sets up a VPN connection, directing data for the selected app through it. Yet, for selected apps on pause, the data encounters a dormant state as it lacks a destination beyond the VPN.Hence,the data goes no where and its never monitored.

Important: Pause It is created by us, and it is not associated with any other organization.
