Phone always gets stuck in shift mode, unable to stop a scheduled shift, very slow implementation of roadmap, very rude customer service and overall poor experience.
The founder went on a podcast and said that their whole point of difference is that they're not a subscription. You pay them once, and then they're incentivized to fix your problem, rather than a subscription where they'll be incentivized to keep you subscribed. A couple months later, they changed to a subscription model and then forced you to log in via Google oauth.
It's very odd because they now have complete access to your device because it's enrolled in their organizations MDM, plus you have to connect it to your Google profile. It doesn't matter how trustworthy the founder may be, this is absolutely way too invasive.
Also, it says there's a content blocker, but I've turned it on and I've got no idea how to use it. It's clear that they have no interest in maintaining a free part of their app, even though thats the whole reason I (and multiple friends of mine) downloaded it in the first place. The app was sold as the solution to p*** addiction, but it's not. it definitely helps, but it's not the solution like it was marketed as.
Unfortunately, these people became very money-hungry after they saw a little bit of success. Please, for your own good, stay away from this app and use Jomo instead.
Oh, also, they're denylist by default. Meaning every app is blocked unless someone has requested it be unblocked, or they whitelist it for whatever reason. And you cant request an app be unblocked from your phone. Ive had multiple extremely frustrating experiences where I've been out and ive had to use an app or download an app, and it's blocked. thats why deny-by-dafault just doesnt work.
Btw you cant even start a session on your phone.
Overall very lazy, money hungry and rude developers.
This Company claims to have reviews for their product (The distraction blocker designed to be impossible to bypass)
You install the application using the guide and it asks you to remove the accounts like google and Samsung but still doesn't install.
When you reach out to support they just send you a boilerplate email that multiple times that reads "If you're running into this issue, try resetting your app preferences:
Settings → Apps → Reset app preferences (the exact location may vary by device).
Once you've done that, restart your phone and try again. This has resolved the issue for some users.
