User Reviews

Users praise WalkLock for its easy-to-use interface, accountability, and motivation to exercise by locking apps until step goals are met. It’s seen as more effective than traditional screen-time tools and helps reduce phone usage. Some reports note reliability issues with unlocking and a pricing discrepancy between advertised and charged rates.

Pros

Easy to use with a smooth, intuitive UI.
Strong accountability: locking apps until step goals are met helps you exercise more and reduce phone usage.
Effective at reducing screen time and replacing passive scrolling (performs better than traditional ScreenTime).
Motivates outdoor activity and daily routine by encouraging walking and gym visits.
Habits tool with progress rewards and ongoing updates is well-received by users.

Cons

Unlocking can be unreliable: some days apps don’t unlock after reaching goals.
Pricing confusion: advertised price (12.99/year) vs charged price (19.99/year).

Recent reviews

I haven’t actually used the app yet but so far it looks reliable and useful. I’m excited to actually try it out but I was wanting the pro plan. It’s advertised as 12.99/year but when I go to pay it says 19.99/year? Which is it and it shouldn’t be advertised as 12.99 if it’s not true. SEEMS LIKE A GREAT APP THO
