## Review summary

Users largely praise the app for being free, easy to use, and allowing app blocking with a push-up–driven timer. However, recurring issues include unreliable unlocking, inaccurate rep counting, and inconsistent use of banked minutes. Stability bugs and limited per-app customization are common requests. The concept is strong and appealing, but it needs substantial bug fixes and feature improvements (pause/cancel options, per-app intensity) to become a dependable, polished tool.

### Pros

- Free to use with no subscription required
- Lets you choose which apps to block (customizable blocking)
- Earns minutes by doing push-ups (gamified approach to reducing screen time)
- Simple, straightforward blocker that gets to the point

### Cons

- Unlock/lock functionality is unreliable; apps don’t unlock after push-ups or lock intermittently
- Push-up counting is inaccurate; reps aren’t always detected or counted correctly
- Time banked minutes are hard to use or pause; sometimes nothing happens when you try to use them
- Stability issues; the app can stop working or become unresponsive (start/unlock button failures)
- Limited customization; cannot set different minutes/intensity per app and there is no cancel/pause option for the camera prompt
