Review summary

Users appreciate FocusLock for its strict and effective phone locking that aids concentration and reduces phone addiction. Common praise cites easy usability and reliable locking after reboot. However, multiple users report the lack of an emergency unlock option to make calls during lock, schedule functionality issues, and limited app allowance without premium. Improvements desired include flexible timer durations and fixing post-update glitches to enhance the experience.

Pros

Effectively helps users reduce phone addiction and improve focus.
Strict locking mechanism that prevents unlocking during focus sessions.
Easy to use and reliable after device reboot.
Allows limited unlocking of certain apps without premium in updated versions.
Includes focus timer and schedule features for productivity.

Cons

No emergency unlock option to allow calls or urgent access during lock period.
Schedule system sometimes does not work properly or requires resetting after completion.
Limited app allowance without premium; users want more apps to be accessible during lock.
Timer increments locked to 10-minute intervals, limiting customization.
Some glitches reported such as the app not restarting automatically after reboot following updates.

2025-02-05	Ab*****	I hope u add the option to add apps (within the limit of course) even after the lock mode is on, as every app's time limit is 24 hrs. Sometimes when a scheduled lock is on and any app has its time limit of 24 hrs expired, then there is no option of adding it back. Hope to c this feature in updates, btw a 5 ⭐.

2025-02-02	Ao*****	10/10 . This app is amazing with how it locks the phone to aid with concentration,I have been able to focus better since I installed it It's fairly easy to use I wish it could have an unlock allowance for emergencies.

2025-02-02	Mo*****	I almost developed a phone addiction, but then I came across a YouTube video about an app called Bonfire, which locks specific apps chosen by the device owner. This inspired me to search for similar apps, and I discovered one that has really improved my habits! Thank you to the developers of this app.

2025-01-15	Ya*****	After about five to 15 minutes of using the app that is allowed, .i.e. a app I watched an ad for,is removed and I have to open the app and open the specific video lectures again. This is a minor inconvenience when compared to the fact that your app saves like days of my life,but I would like for you to improve it still. Whether you fix it or not grateful anyways. Better to waste about 30 seconds every day due to this app rather than lose my whole day on social media.

2025-01-07	By*****	I really loved it and used it often, but now I can't freely time anymore, I usually use 25 minutes for pomodoro or just some casual random numbers and love looking at the timer circle spin, but now it's only on ten minutes intervals :(
