Missing a function where you can have some limit of sessions per day, and every time you get in the minutes per session by default you set in app, and Stay Free doesn't block picture in picture mode for apps

You've literally saved me from doom scrolling. I love how you also give motivational quotes when blocking my app each time
★★★★★Callum Hays· Sep 3, 2026
Honestly, I was skeptical because I’ve tried basic screen-time settings before and always ended up ignoring them. But Stay Free has actually been a game changer for me. It’s helped me cut out a ridiculous amount of mindless scrolling and actually reclaim time in my day for things that matter. The charts are spotless, and set-up takes like two minutes. If you struggle with focus or phone addiction, it’s 100% worth downloading.

It is very useful app.It is very good. You can analyze apps/games that how many hours did you look at, you can block apps/games, and it has many advanced features. The only bad thing is the app wants high-risk permissions. They say they don't want to know who we are, and they say they care about our privacy etc. but I'm not sure, and I didn't permit high-risk permissions just in case. You can use app by not permit high-risk permission but for better performance, you need to permit high-risk permission.

Great app... when it works. I have to mentally remember that I have used up my timer, because it doesn't block some of the apps. Another issue is setting when to start the timer, when I have that enabled, it doesn't even record my actions. Last one, apparently the syncing between 2 devices is flawed. I usually finish first on my phone, but then I can use my apps on my tablet (one of the reasons I installed stay free was to sync between 2 devices)
★☆☆☆☆Gigi Spells· Aug 30, 2026
I've used this app for over 2 years, and it's been life changing. However, my limits are suddenly no longer functioning. When I open an app that I have session limits on, I'm no longer offered session limits, I'm suddenly able to access apps after 10:30 that should be blocked at that time, etc. This is the second time this has happened, and I had to reinstall the app last time this happened. This app is reliable until it isn't, so I might need to go looking for a new one. Very sad.
★★☆☆☆Chad Cline· Aug 20, 2026
You can't set specific websites to limit and instead have to rely on a list of categorized websites that stay free maintains and does not allow you to audit.
★★☆☆☆Carolann· Aug 24, 2026
This is the most comprehensive version of this type of app I have come across and the customization is peak however just one week into using it the app began to drain my battery so quickly that it was not worth it anymore. I made no other changes before the issue began, and it stopped as soon as I uninstalled it. A shame. I would be willing to give it another try in a bit to see if it has improved in this area, if I don't find anything better first. It had everything I needed for free. 💔
