5-star Google Play review

"I've tried many things but this app is the only thing that managed to break my social media addiction. I probably wouldn't have been able to get through college if it wasn't for this app. I find myself periodically coming back to it in times of overwhelm and it gets me back on track every single time."

"I enjoy the flexibility of options of this app, being able to customize my pause times, and now I use my wifi QR code on my fridge like a brick, to make it the only override to activate social media, and these functions have always worked as intended. No easy workarounds to cheat the app."

"I just started using this, and bought it right away. It's so functional and the price is decent - compared to expensive subscriptions of others. I love that you can apply multiple criteria within the same group: blocked overnight + daily limits + hourly limits."
