User Reviews

Summary: Users praise StayFree’s concept and the Chrome extension but repeatedly report major iOS-specific drawbacks. The most cited issues are missing Android-like features (per-app blocking, reels/comments), frequent crashes that stop limits from being saved, and poor cross-device usage visibility (no per-app data across devices). Additional frustration comes from broken focus modes and iPad compatibility problems. Overall, StayFree shows potential for multi-device time management but remains unstable and feature-limited on iOS, requiring fixes to restore reliability.

Pros

This is a good app that can help me manage my device usage time on all devices.
I absolutely adore the Chrome extension; it's helped me get off my computer.
Some reviewers see StayFree as a useful tool for managing screen time across devices.

Cons

iOS lacks key blocking features available on Android (e.g., per-app blocking, reels/comments).
Frequent glitches and crashes prevent saving or applying limits.
Cannot view per-app usage or sync usage across devices; data is limited to total screen time.
Focus mode and time limits often fail to save or activate.
Limited iPad support and compatibility issues (cannot create focus times on iPad; orientation problems).

How do you do the feature where you block instagram reels but not chats

This app works great for my friends that have android phones so I tried it. Don’t bother. Almost none of the functionality is implemented on iPhone. I was really looking forward to being able to block things like reels or shorts without totally blocking Facebook and YouTube. Does not exist here. There isn’t even a delete button for focus mode (their name for a scheduled blocking plan). You literally have to delete the app and all related data and reinstall if you want to delete a blocking plan. Absolute clown app. Super disappointed because I really need an app like this and haven’t found one even close to what stayfree can do on android.

The iPhone app looks really bad, just awful. It looks better on Android and PC. Otherwise, it displays everything except the desktop version, where I don't see any time management apps.
