User Reviews

Cape is praised as a practical tool to hide or block apps and automate restrictions via schedules and location, with easy setup and strong parental-control value. However, many reviews condemn recent updates for weakening core features, introduce bugs, and create licensing problems. Reliability of scheduling/location and general support are recurring concerns, and some note that uninstalling can bypass protections. Overall, it’s powerful when working but perceived as unstable and less reliable after updates.

Pros

Hides/blocks apps effectively to restrict access
Scheduling and location-based controls automate restrictions
Easy to configure and use (user-friendly)
All-in-one tool that combines screen-time restrictions with app hiding (useful for parental control)
Considered a sanity saver for managing distractions on the device

Cons

Recent updates degraded core functionality; resume/hide features no longer work or are less capable
Licensing/activation problems after signing out or changing store IDs (re-purchase issues)
Bugs: resume button inactive, hidden apps not properly hidden/unhidden, and general instability
Scheduling/location features unreliable or don’t work as intended (e.g., time windows not applying)
Support issues and guidance feel poor or misleading; uninstalling can bypass protections
