Easy Work Around for Block Schedule

Bug Reports🍏 iOS

I think there needs to be a fix on the block schedule.

If you have a strict block enabled you can have it set where you can only make adjustments to the apps and websites you block, the times you’ve selected, and the strictness of a block during the handful of unblocked hours you pick. I think this is great.

However, even during an active strict block you can toggle “customize per day”. Once that toggle is active you can then change the schedule even while in a strict block period as soon as the following hour which sort of defeats the purpose of a strict block.

If a patch could be made to make it so you can either not toggle “customize per day” while in a strict block or make it so even when customizing day by day you must wait for your previously selected open/unblocked hours, I think that would greatly improve the effectiveness of the app.

This is on an updated version of the app on iOS.

    Hi there,

    actually that was the case in the beginning when we implemented that feature. The overwhelming feedback we got was that users blocked themselves out of apps and wanted a softer version of the strict block.


    Would it help to implement an extra level to blocking (soft block/ strict block / super strict block ) in the case you are describing?

      I definitely would appreciate it. There are some apps and websites I simply never want access to, but of course, I need a way to adjust on occasion. For that reason, if there was a super strict block that allowed me to only adjust the block during 1 or 2 select hours out of the week, that would be ideal.

      Thank you for the information, please keep me informed if you plan to implement this or if you have other solutions.
