Amazing! I LOVE this app for helping me stay on task and focus through my easily distracted, ADHD brain! With how much this app helps me, I feel bad taking a star off, BUT (and Freedom devs, plz hear me out) the Schedule Lock feature could REALLY use a redesign by UX designer IMO. Between the Android app, and the website, there is confusing information on HOW it's supposed to function, and I wasn't sure if I was going to accidentally lock myself out of my Schedules or not. Otherwise it's gr8!

I had written a really good review for this app. the previous version ran well did everything it was supposed to. the version that exists now is a huge battery hog. it's always number one on the list of things consuming the battery. but I have two phones. on the newest s26 plus is where it's the battery hog. for an older s21 it works just fine. regardless. I need all the devices to lock themselves up.

Hi Jon, thanks so much for bringing this to our attention and sorry to heat that! We'll look into this for you. It would be great if you could tap the in-app help icon and ask to talk to an agent so that we can follow up with you directly. Thank you!

App is flaky lately (maybe related to Android 17 Update?). First a notification appeared, that my accessibility setting wasn't correct even though it was enabled for freedom. now it's sometimes just stops blocking in the Firefox browser, didn't check whether it's it's a global issue. Edit: Freedom doesn't run after the Phone is restarted and maybe also sometimes stops working. In this case nothing is blocked until I start the app manually. This really messes things up for me.
