This is honestly the worst app and the biggest scam I have ever fallen for. after a software update, i was completely locked out of my phone bacause of this app, and could no longer access calls, selected allowed apps, etc. there was no possible way for me to delete this app or get it back to how it was before. i had to access my calls and mesages for obvious reasons, so they only way to fix this bug was to pay up. worst thing ever. i demand a refund
scam
one of the worst app ever seen its not helping to detox,we can't even acces mobile settings,call log,calender...literally restricting from basic things like calling,system message application.and also once we agreed the permission then we can't change the permission from phone setting it is also locked by this application,and when we want to quit from detox before the period we set they showing like pay Rs:**(pay some amount)to unlock or quit from this session.This is like Ransomware,don't use
Dev has excuses for multiple issues and bugs 🐛, yet StayFree app works great. Custom lock screen (with app lists) over the native Android lock screen introduces security risks and privacy risks ⚠️. When using the allowed apps, even when writing this review (it is not a smooth experience, it erased the text) it closes the allowed apps and doesn't allow to multitask with allowed apps 👎. If the allowed apps are work related it makes the issue even worse, as multitasking is essential. Uninstalled

very disappointed detox is enabled still apps are usable despite of having app is not enabled for schedule. some days working other days not working detox showing enabled but not applied
before i had use it in my phone it work good but it crash in tablet after a month it make a chain reaction in which my tablet get crashing one afyer another and when i take it to authorise service centre they say i has use any 3rd party app and i need to change my tablet motherboard. first it corrupt phone system eg tablet calculator stop working a msg pop showing bug in it . this thing happens when a app interfere with system as i have given it admin control and all other controls. now i hate
اقسم بالله أقذر app شوفته في حياتي قفلت موبايلي نص ساعه بالعدد وكمان كانوا قايلين ان اقدر اخرج في اي وقت احبه الاقيهم بيزودولي ساعات من عندهم (15 ساعه ونص) وانا كان ورايا حاجات مهمه ومنعوني عنها واما اجي اعمل quit يقولولي ادفع فلوس بالفيزا او فودافون كاش اقسم بالله ماشوفتش كده في حياتي وكل حاجه عاملاها سكرين شوت (دي الحاجه الوحيده اللي كنت اقدر اعملها عشان طبعا كان مانعني من كل حاجه بشهادة اهلي واخواتي) وطبعا اول ما الموبايل اتفتح مسحته فورا ومقهوره علي النجمه اللي حطيتها بس غصب بقي هعمل ايه
a lot of bugs this app has . this is drained my battery. don't install this guy's .
when I restart my phone I can bypass it
the app was good ,but idk lately it takes so long to start After rebbooting the phone. which means i can easily reboot and uninstall or disable the app before it's stated .
I love this app so much I tried to install it on a newer phone running Android 15, same settings as my old one, but I tried to open essential apps I need for work/school and it got stuck. I was also able to kill the running app from the upper general control panel. None of this happened in my previous phone. Will give a well deserved 5 star rating if this is addressed!
this app causes too much bugs . whenever I switch on detox I have given all permissions but I can access home screen easily and the detox doesn't work . sometimes keyboard doesn't comes up . This app is too complicated I wish developer make it easy.
there is fault,when we put the timer on and we take that break, which app only provides that 1 min break* 3times that stuff,and after unlocking our phone and we dlt this app,then effect of app gets off,back to normal phone!then what's the purpose of this app,if I could have controlled my brain why would I have installed this app! I could have done digital detox alone
