If AppBlock doesn´t work properly, you can follow these instructions we prepared HERE

Yes, you can! You can easily set the location where you want to block the apps. Either directly based on the location or it's inverse- for example any time you are not at home. 

Just create a new profile and select "Location" as your blocking condition to set it up. 

You can select a time limit for using applications each day when a particular profile is activated. For example only 20 minutes of Facebook during working time or at school.

How to set it up?
1) Create a new profile
2) As your first blocking condition, select time and specify your working time- or other time you want to limit your device usage
3) At the top right corner press "Add +" and select usage limit- select how you can use the apps for. 
4) Continue the profile setup by selecting the blocked apps and a profile name before pressing create and activating it. 

Just attaching your charger is not enough. With the charger attached, you must go into the locked profile's detail page and press the little lock on the top right hand corner to unlock the profile. 

Occasionally, the profile cannot be unlocked even if the charger is connected. Try to reconnect the charger with the locked profile detail screen open and wait for a while, then try to unlock it again.

You cannot use the charger to unlock a profile which is locked for a set time. In this case, please wait for the timer to run out.

Of course you can. You have two locking options:
1) until a specific time (Time Lock)
2) until connecting a charger. (Charger Lock)

To set up, go into the profile details screen, press the lock icon on the top right corner and select your preferred locking option.

Yes, you can do so through the menu on the top right corner in the profile detail screen. Simply press on the 3 dots and select "Copy". 

Yes this is possible, but you must be signed in to Google Play using the same Google account on both devices.

Yes, basic AppBlock is free but has some limitations (number of profiles and so on). If you are happy with the app, you can purchase PRO version which has more features. Premium has no limitations nor ads.

Check out the Premium section of the app for details and pricing in your region.

Unfortunately, iOS does not allow us access to usage statistics nor access to some other critical settings needed to create these functions. 

That's really quite simple. AppBlock uses a local VPN in order to disconnect selected applications from the internet, preventing them from disturbing you. Since the VPN is only local, you can be sure that all data remains on your device! A local VPN does not slow down your internet connection or your phone, so it can run quietly in the background for days.

Sure thing! Please use the "Suggest application" option when adding applications to your Block list. Although it may not happen right away, please know that we are working hard to ensure there are as many disruptive applications to choose from in AppBlock as possible.

 In certain cases, applications may bypass our blocking mechanism. They pre-load content on your device, so it may seem like they are still online. Try refreshing the application, refreshing the feed, clicking around in the app to force it to connect again. After a while, AppBlock should start blocking the application. If the problem persists, please let us know.

Unfortunately not. Apple does not allow us to do that. Our blocking method can block incoming content to applications from their servers, but unfortunately not notifications as those are passed directly from Apple servers. You can only disable notifications yourself for applications that you find disturbing.

Our blocking method is purely local, taking place in your device only. Data related to blocking applications and viewing the internet therefore remain on your device. 

Check out our Privacy Policy for details on what data is collected on each of the different platforms. 

You can check that the VPN is connected or disconnected at any time in the AppBlock settings. In addition, if there is a problem with the VPN, this will be apparent when setting profiles or Quick Block.

VPN (Virtual Private Network) is basically an intermediary between your device (you) and the internet. When using a VPN, all communication passes through the VPN. This means that all queries, data, etc. do not pass directly to and from your device. Your device is hidden behind this intermediary (VPN). You probably already know why AppBlock uses VPN, but if not - you can read it here.

• Go to your iPhone's settings
• Tap "VPN"
• Tap the "i" next to AppBlock VPN, then "Delete VPN"
• Open the AppBlock app
• Use the “Setup VPN” option on the Dashboard card

This way you can reinstall the VPN which should help resolve most VPN issues.
