Restart the phone it’s easy to bypass

Dhinsh
The app doesn’t lock anything when restarted for few seconds. Enough time to disable automation in short cuts or settings. Are there any ways to prevent that? I just paid for the year and now the app is useless for me!!!

AppBlock App Review

Advantages:AppBlock is a highly effective tool for anyone looking to minimize distractions and stay focused. It allows users to block specific apps and websites, including irresistible and potentially harmful content like adult websites. This feature is particularly useful for those aiming to cultivate healthier digital habits or maintain productivity. The app is user-friendly, offering customizable blocking schedules and options to enforce restrictions during certain times of the day. It’s an excellent resource for students, professionals, or anyone trying to limit screen time and focus on their priorities.Disadvantages:Despite its impressive functionality, AppBlock faces a significant limitation on iOS devices. Even when using the Shortcut method to block the Settings app (to prevent tampering with Screen Time restrictions), the automation takes time to activate after restarting the iPhone. This delay creates a window of opportunity for users to disable Screen Time restrictions before the automation kicks in, rendering the app ineffective for those who might struggle with self-control. This loophole undermines the app’s primary purpose, especially for users who rely on it to enforce strict digital boundaries.Please try to fix this issue.!

Thank you for your detailed and thoughtful feedback! We’re thrilled to hear that AppBlock is a valuable tool for minimizing distractions and cultivating healthier habits. At the same time, we understand your frustration regarding the delay in the automation activating after restarting an iPhone. Unfortunately, this limitation is tied to how iOS handles system permissions and automations, which is outside our direct control.We’re actively exploring ways to mitigate this and improve reliability. Your insights are invaluable, and we truly appreciate your patience as we work toward a solution! 🙏 - Simona

Am a premium user. Is there a way I can block the settings app ? Because you can turn off access to AppBlock from screen time configuration in settings app. My productivity was much better when I was not knowing this. When I try to add setting app by click Others in “Choose Activities” the app hangs.One more bug :When I turn off and turn on screen time access to AppBlock in settings, apps no longer honours strict block mode even the it’s enabled for the next n hours.
