This app has been amazing for me!! I've used it to stay focused away from the negativity, of social media..and internet media in general, and certain apps. I like the fact that you can enable a locked mode while schedules are running..for the best way to stay on my schedule in my routine..it's really worked wonders for my mental health and I can focus more on using my meditation to reduce anxiety..and has helped my productivity to stay focused at work. THANK YOU!! 😊

Signed up to premium and setup my blocklist. Everything seemed great I was able to switch off the ability to end a session early and gave it device admin permission so i couldn't uninstall the app during a session. Then when I tried to uninstall the app it said I couldn't due to app permission and gave me a link to switch it off... it would have been absolutely perfect if not for that. It's far too easy to get around this app which completely defeats the purpose. It's not fit for purpose.

Hi Barry, thanks for the detailed feedback. Unfortunately Android doesn't allow us to fully prevent this — it's a platform limitation, not by design. We know it's frustrating and we're always pushing for better options. Reach out at support@freedom.to if we can help! 🙏

Very good app for people who struggle to focus, especially those that work from home. Really appreciate the 5 minute break that has recently been added. I've found it so useful to be able to set up a schedule throughout my working day, allowing me to select which apps and websites I shouldn't be using throughout the day, and take a 5 minute break if I need to.
