It's easy to set up and use, has a nice clear interface, and I love that it can block the same sites across devices with the tick of a box. However what I was really looking for is a blocking app that can also limit the amount of time spent on certain websites for a specified period of time, a common enough feature of productivity browser extensions such as Leechblock or StayFocusd. If Freedom added this feature, I wouldn't have to keep one of these extensions installed as well as Freedom and potentially have conflict between the two - then it would be worth 5 stars!

Thanks for your amazing review! We're so happy to help you find focus & be more productive. And we definitely hear your feedback - we're thinking about ways to do this on Android (our browser extensions Limit and Focus will also do something like this for you).

Very good app! Blocked FB and YouTube for most of the time, I feel better! Sometimes the 'addiction' switches to just reading loads of stuff on Google and going to too many websites. It's better but I still wish there was a feature to remind me to stop ingurgitating so much information. Maybe there could be a feature where we could say that if we are on Google for more than X minutes in a row, and/or if we go to X number of websites in Y number of min, we get a popup or it gets blocked?

Amazing app. I don't get distracted at all while I'm working anymore. Feel so much more focused and productive! I often get sucked into social media and reading random articles etc when I should be doing other things and this has completely stopped it. I also feel much better blocking out the internet and social media throughout the day. It's improving my mental health. Only thing I'd say is I don't understand how it's so expensive. But it is very worth it for me.
