I use this to stop myself from playing one particular game. I'd like to be able to block that one game, rather than white list everything else, which is the only solution now. The other issue is that the digital detox screen comes up when you try to toggle between two (white listed) open apps. The only solution right now is to "reopen" the app to bring it back to the foreground. This despite the app already being open in the background. Otherwise quite good.

Hello Duane, we cannot allow "Recent apps" screen for you to switch between apps, because users misuse this screen to terminate the challenge. Hope it makes sense.

This app is changing my life, not exaggerating. ADHD+phone addiction has made my brain a mess of a place, and I've been desperate to find a way to train myself to focus and actually be present to my family again. I needed a way to block my access to the chrome app while still being able to use my phone for text messages, phone calls, calculator and calendar, etc. This delivers that with a great visual interface, easy to use, doesn't collect your data, and it's free - what a gift 😭💜 thank you!!

It's great, when it works. For the most part it worked, but here recently it hasn't been. Allowing apps I had down as blocked, not popping up, messing with phone calls even when their allowed, and so on. It doesn't work with Google maps either so hope you don't have anywhere to go. I do like it when it does work, and I had over 56+ hours off my phone, it just hasn't been working recently. I checked, everything was allowed like the app said.

Hello Ada, some apps need "google" app added to the list of allowed apps. What issue with the allowed apps do you have exactly? Did you allow all phone apps (including the incall screen)? Could you please give us more details? Our contact is support@urbandroid.org. Thank you.
