★★★★★Hams Al Afif· Sep 13, 2026
Started using this app a year ago after finding it on Reddit. Was looking for an alternative to Brick (which was a lot more expensive) and it was before NFC tags were used commonly with third party apps. I've only had good experiences with the app, and am now finally ready to pay for premium. One thing is it'd be nice to be sent a notification before it updates as I often don't realize it's updated and that the restrictions are off. Great app!

The app is great. I use with a NFC tag to block social media. I hope in the feature we have options to make more difficult to disable to avoid "slips".

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!

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

The latest update(2.3.0) just ruined it. I have given it accessibility permission and every necessary permissions but still not working. Fix this issue ASAP!!!
