Get Off Your Phone - App Block

Wish it could send notifications when unlocking your phone and have a feature where it’s on the lock screen like the timer app.

It’s a great thing to use, but I think it’s ABSURD that the emergency off is for premium. I had a call with my boss and it kept vibrating and they said “what’s that noise” and all I could say was “it’s an app telling me to get off my phone” and they asked why I didn’t turn it off and I told them. He chuckled and said it was stupid (he’s a bit younger -older than me though- so he laughs at lots of things) And all we could do was laugh and hear a vibrating whenever we were trying to talk about work because you thought we needed to PAY to turn it off. It’s called an EMERGENCY BUTTON for a reason I’m sure? Correct me if I’m wrong. 🙄

This app does what it says. I find it very useful for stopping my growing habit of looking at my phone instinctively when I’m bored or distracted. After using this app, I’m more thoughtful and deliberate about how much and why I am using my phone and I’m already setting better phone use habits. My phone is returning to its rightful place as a useful tool instead of a time waster. After trying the free version 1.0.1 , I purchased the premium upgrade with themes. However, after the purchase I still could not access the premium features. The developer was quick to communicate with me when I requested help. When the suggested solutions did not work, the developer had an an upgrade available in less than 24 hours that fixed the problem. After using the app, I think one great improvement would be to allow the user to schedule the app to begin at a certain time in the future or to operate at certain times on certain days of the week. This would allow the user to schedule the app to operate during the times of day when overuse is tempting, without the user having to pick up the phone and operate it at that time even for the purpose of turning on this app.
