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! 🙏

The blocking is brilliant - maybe best-in-class on Android. Blocks both the app AND the webpage. But it's set up as more of a 'deep focus' app. The blocking is binary - if you're not in a focus session then there's no limitation on access. Freedom needs a few more features to make it more general purpose for people fighting phone addiction more broadly: - Screen-time limits; Cooldowns when opening apps (as with One Sec); Periodic interventions during scrolling.

Hi Josh! Thanks for the thoughtful feedback — really glad the blocking is working well for you. The features you're describing (screen time limits, cooldowns, periodic nudges) are great ideas and we'll pass them along to the product team. We appreciate you taking the time to share this!

OK but missing some handy features, no pause? You can set recurring durations that it freezes specific apps and when you try to enter it says 'Go do great things' each time (at least a couple of different phrases could be useful motivation?) I'm surprised there's no 'Pause for 2 mins / 5 mins' option. Sometimes you just need to nip on an app to retrieve some quick info, and ideally get off it again, instead only option is to 'End Session early', making you vulnerable to getting dragged in again.
