| 2024-11-14 |  | | en | VERY IMPORTANT!!! PLEASE READ The main complaint I saw in the reviews was that there was no way to automatically whitelist all websites, making it hard to research and use your computer normally. In reality, all you have to do is enter this into the list of whitelisted websites: .com .org .edu and so on and so forth. every single website ending in any of those three letters will automatically be whitelisted. Hope this helps!!! |

| 2024-03-06 |  | | es | No entiendo como ganar el respeto del Buho. Cumplo tareas e intervenciones, pero de momento nada, no me ha dado ni un punto... Y sería mejor si se podría añadir la página a la lista de exclusiones sin salir de ella. Molesta bastante cuando encuentras algo necesario y la página se cierra. |
| 2024-03-02 |  | | en | BRILLIANT. I really like this extension. Also the owl 😆. |

| 2024-01-06 |  | | en | Edit: Changed to 1 star because of how invasive this extension is. I was loading data on a new site which I hadn't saved and the chrome extension was trying to force it to close no matter what. I ended up losing my data and unable to recover it. Very invasive and annoying when trying to incorporate in everyday life too. Pros: * Blocks unlimited sites * Sets time limits * Uses psychology to help you be more productive when you're distracted Cons: * Sets time limit for all sites, making you manually type which sites you don't want. This gets annoying very fast. * Relies entirely on the built in task creator for their 'respect' program - I have my own systems for this. Screw off. * You only get free time if you use their task creator. * Is only effective if you utilize their task creator which many people may not want to use. * Is not personalized - Why doesnt the owl have personalty? Why cant you make excuses to the owl? Why is there no communication between the owl? Overview: * There is a lot of missed potential in this app. The developer refuses to listen to users and therefore will maintain a low rating. Has not been maintained for many years. Essentially a average parental control extension marketed as productivity. |
