Comments on Switchly - App Blocker for Android

★★★★☆ Michelle Wiest · Feb 26, 2026

This seems to do what I'll need, and it's free (but I paid the premium price to support the builders). I'm not sure if the schedule feature is working correctly though? I have tried to access my apps when the schedule should be inactive, and I still need the NFC tag to access my blocked apps. Tutorials on set up could be a bit clearer (NFC tags for those of us that don't know what they are or why we need them, how to use the QR codes, etc.) Still worth it, and I'm glad I have it.

★★★★★ Robin Deacon · Jan 18, 2026

I've been using Switchly for a few weeks now and it's great. It can limit how much time you can use an app per day, or completely block apps within times set by you, or both. It's made a huge difference to me, stopping me from mindless scrolling of social media. It's helping me reset my brain, so I only use social media when I *want* to, rather than filling any quiet moment with brain rot. Combine the app with an NFC tag, and you have a free/cheap version of those expensive 'Brick' things.

I'm gutted. Because you can not block Google app. You can just use the browser. If the app had whitelisted mode for websites. Or block the Google browser inside from being used. Then full protection sorted

★☆☆☆☆ Nyan Cat · Jun 5, 2026

Doesn't work on my phone sadly. When I try to give the accessibility permission, it does nothing. And it's written "this app is malfunctioning". Also, I wasn't able to select apps like YouTube or Instagram in the blocked list. They don't appear unlike the rest of my apps. I was really excited about this. It seemed like a good solution. It's a shame it doesn't work. I will update my review if the problem get fixed. Also, shout-out to the dev, I appreciate the work nonetheless!
