I'm about to loose my spark driving job cause this app won't let me turn it off from staying on In the background it just shuts the page down when I get to the page I can make it not be turned on in the background. I can just not gamble I don't need to have my income source taken away from me in return. plz help.
can't uninstall and remove this as my admin. so annoying!
Horrible experience with this app, VPN configuration causes internet drops and speed throttling. I am unable to use my mobile data since I installed gamban and theres no solutions given by technical support. absolutely horrible experience
doesnt work...well...its VERY easy to turn off which i wont go into detail on how but its extremely easy. i got passed it and started gambling again. my fault but the app simply doesnt work especially when they charge you.
how do I reactive this app please I have live today and now no access to my streaming app😢😢
is there other means I can subscribe?? have struggling to pay but my device doesn't support mpesa xpress
how to uninstall this i cant properly use my phone because of this app
120% price increase...
i cannot open my gcash when i install this app
very disappointed, I was hoping for an app that could support me with my issues. this one seemed promising, but after installing and giving permissions, my mobile net was barely working, couldn't do my banking through phone, messages and emails were not coming in. tried to contact support but no reply. had to go to a phone repair shop to reset the phone, because gamban blocked the reset options.
Ce n'est pas pour être méchante après votre application mais Gamban s'enleve comme un vrai jeux d'enfant sur toutes les appareils. La preuve j'ai 3 cellulaire tous different et j'ai réussi à l'enlever sur les 3. Désolé il faudrait que vous arrangez l'application pour nous empêcher de jouer.
I got rid of thos app, but it is still charging me a monthly fee! It has put me negative in my bank account!
makes my internet too slow
cannot uninstall , my other apps cannot open
please help me to uninstall this app I can't use my phone normally like I can't open my e wallet after I install this app please I need to open my e wallet for paying my bills.
please help me to UN install this app I cannot use my gcash because of this I want only to block the online games .not my important apps.my goodness I'm not recommend this apps to anyone
Blocked my bank account
absolutely horrible. don't use it. don't sign up for it. just delete it
Easily bypassed when you turn on ultra power saving mode.
Hindi to pwede
paid for a year... work around found in less than ten minutes. completely worthless
I cannot uninstall or change this app being an administrator! very annoyed as I only downloaded to stop my ex gambling in my phone! 0 stars
BE AWARE. DON'T FOOL YOURSELF WITH THIS TRASH. All your privacy is gone, they monitor every your step and can see what you do. gambling is blocked, yes, BUT, you no longer can use many adblock browser apps, your Internet connection is disrupted, speed slow and downloads from browser fails very often, like I love to play ps1 games on my phone, with gamban you can't download anything. A lot of settings on phone is no longer accessible, NON OF THAT RELATES TO GAMBLING, why blocking it? got ridof it
gamban is one of the best app
Pano i-installed tong apps na to,ang laki Ng bayad 145/7 days,di naman napapakinabangan scam apps ata to,Hindi madeactivate
Waste of time, although it shuts down gambling sites for you it also causes problems with a number of day to day apps. my advice would be to sign up to gamcare instead. Gamcare is free. this costs money and makes your day to day life harder. Gamban wont remove the app but it is possible to do it yourself.
I cant uninstall it i cant use other apps
I can't deactivate the vpn and it's messing with my work duties as people need to contact me but it won't let me turn off the vpn.
I cannot open gcash after subscribing on this app
locked my apps can't pay for parking can't get hold of anyone
I'm supposed to rate this app 1 star cause once I power off my phone and then power it back on, the bet sites and apps starts working back, any tips that could help?
- I wish there's some sort of Test mode, not immediately get locked out. (or did I miss it somewhere?) - It does block as it supposed to, but also my internet went finicky, even gamban's own pages do not load in the app. One work-related app I can't connect with, even in Discord I can't send messages.
Downgrades internet speed and loading drastically... Often the connection needs to be turned off and on again which is unfortunate.
i subscribe on this but they also disabled my e-wallet apps. that was so stupid
you did it first but you didn't get my phone safely at the end
work well on my old phone, now I have a new one and the app has made my net slow and I can go on banking app, and I can't uninstall it, please help gamban
as good as gamban can be as a blocking tool. it is only a temporary solution as it is easily removed from device.
