very useful

this is a great app, however for the paid version. I think it's ungrateful and quite greedy to run a second by second Meta tracker

2 ★, on 2025-02-20
Constantly wants feedback even though i Have already rated it.

I found it really useful, effective and relatively easy to use however it hasn't been working properly for a while, it doesn't block the apps when it's supposed to until I check it's on and then it works. Which is fine if you don't need it to turn on at a specific time, but unfortunately I do. Still apart from that one issue it's a pretty good app
