GORGEOUS AND IMPACTFUL APP

This app has made a huge difference. I use it to block social apps one day a weekend so I can be more present with my family and it’s amazing how much better it feels. Also it’s beautifully designed

So glad Sabbath is helping you be more present with your family — and thank you for the kind words about the design!

Scam app?

I feel like this app may be a scam app. It has one review. And it doesn’t work consistently. If you block a category of apps it will work. If you select individual apps but not the whole category, the individual apps you select are not blocked. I’ve gone I and tried to set this up over and over. Also, they lure you in with a free trial but then present a confusing screen with subscription pricing, which if you choose a tier (usually for when the free trial ends) , it subscribes and charges you right away without the free trial. Frustrating.

Developer Response
We’re sorry for the frustration. We investigated and found that iOS Screen Time accepts only 50 blocked tokens and may fail silently when that limit is exceeded. We’re adding an alert to prevent this confusion. Sabbath launched last week, which is also why there are currently so few reviews. The annual subscription includes a seven-day trial; the monthly subscription begins immediately, and we’re sorry that distinction wasn’t clearer. We’d be happy to investigate your specific account - please email hello@trysabbath.com.

Doesn’t work consistently

This app looks nice, but the functionality is pretty poor. The settings will show an app or website is blocked, but it’s still accessible during the Sabbath or Rest. I’ve tried reinstalling and reconfiguring but the block settings don’t work. Also the “leave review” shortcut in the app doesn’t work. And the premium sign up is tough to avoid. Fees like a vibe-coded slop app, which is disappointing because it’s a great concept.

Hi Kirk, sorry the blocking hasn't worked reliably for you. Would you mind sending us an email at hello@trysabbath.com so we can debug? There appears to be an iOS Screen Time limitation where it only accepts 50 blocked tokens and may fail silently when that limit is exceeded. (We’re adding an alert to prevent this confusion.) But it would help if we could investigate your account to confirm that's the issue affecting you. We've also fixed the broken review shortcut - appreciate you flagging this for us.

Great concept, beautifully executed. I'm two weeks in and it's actually really worked to keep me off Instagram.

Developer Response
This is wonderful to hear. Helping you spend less time on Instagram is exactly why we built Sabbath. Thanks for giving it a try!
