Useless. Free tier only allows setting blocking for 2 hours. So much for preventing addictive app use. The subscription model is killing the internet

I don't understand the bad reviews really, works pretty well for me. It does the job. Some of the UI I'm not a big fan of, but 90% it does a fine job of everything.

It’s a Scam, it blocks nothing , I purchased this to block YouTube from my sons laptop and he can opens YouTube from all the browsers / supported browsers. It looks low price solution but but it doesn’t work

II'm disappointed at the lack of features being added. Look at their changelog, and you'll see how much they're simply maintaining instead of improving freedom. I've used freedom for over 5 years, and have seen very little change. This has the capability to be the leading app and website blocker, but I find myself looking elsewhere for a company that is still growing instead of just sticking to the status quo.

I have had this app for about a year now . It’s not always simple to use but the customer service is really good if you need help . Once you understand how it works it’s actually really great . I also get so much relief from not wasting time on Facebook or such apps x

Absolutely gorgeous but not enough for free. I found this searching for a free website blocker. Am now drawn into it and I *love* it. Just what I need for basic productivity. However, you can only use it for up to 2 hours at a time in the free version. So, lots of scope for distraction there...

They will charge your credit card without your consent. They also don't allow you to remove your credit card information from their servers.

I don’t usually write reviews, but I feel I owe this one.Freedom App has genuinely changed — and quite possibly saved — my life.I’ve struggled with drug addiction for over seven years. Relapse was almost always enabled by one thing: access. Access to mobile banking, messaging apps, phone calls, and the internet tools that made getting drugs far easier than avoiding them. On top of that, I have ADHD, which meant cravings were loud, constant, and impulsive. When addiction is screaming at you and the tools are sitting in your pocket, willpower alone just isn’t enough.Once I relapsed, it didn’t stop there. I’d also end up gambling online, draining money and feeding a vicious cycle of addiction, regret, and shame. I tried rehab, addiction therapy, and many other approaches — and while they helped, what I was missing was instant protection in the exact moment cravings hit.That’s where Freedom came in.Within about 15 seconds, I can start a session that blocks my ability to message dealers, make calls, access WhatsApp or SMS, open banking apps, or download gambling or messaging apps from the Play Store. I can even block specific websites like banks or shopping sites, so even if money is in my account, I physically can’t act on impulse. I keep the internet unlocked for healthy use, but the dangerous pathways are removed.One important thing to be honest about: there is an adjustment period. For me, it took about a week or two for my routine to fully settle. For example, even though app access was blocked, I still physically had my bank card — so if money was sitting in my main account, I could still withdraw it. That was half the problem for me. I learned to keep most of my money in my savings account and only leave enough in my current account for essentials — not enough for drugs or gambling. Once I made those small lifestyle adjustments alongside Freedom, everything clicked into place.What makes this app incredible is how seamless it is beyond that. If I have another device available, I just add it to the same session and I’m protected there too — no setup, no loopholes, no downloading extra apps to block them first. It just works.Freedom doesn’t judge. It doesn’t lecture. It steps in exactly when cravings are strongest and gives you breathing room when your brain can’t.For anyone battling addiction, ADHD, compulsive gambling, or destructive impulses — especially when access is the biggest trigger — this app isn’t just helpful. It’s life-changing.Thank you for building something that actually understands how addiction works in the real world.
