I use it almost every day

The first time I ran this app, I was anxious for the whole time it was activated. It made it Impossible for me to use my phone for near everything. Every downloaded app was hidden, and even some of the factory apps including my app store and safari as well. What i like about it is that you can't delete the Flipd app while it's running literally because it's not there to be deleted.

The only things I have issues with are the fact that the process to keep the order of your apps is not as straightforward as It could be. Without the instructions from an online article I would have kept trying to install the extension without success. It gives the appearance of not having yet downloaded even though it's ready to go and that's confusing. Also, it would be nice if I could select exactly which apps i wanted to hide rather than just nearly disabling my phone.

Other than that I would give the app 5 stars, it's really great.

Thanks for the awesome review and feedback! We're always working on improving Flipd so we'll definitely take your comments into consideration. - Alanna

Too Many Locked Features

When I first started using Flipd, I found it incredibly useful. However, I watched over time as they slowly hid more of their features under the premium subscription. At first, I was able to tolerate the changes. For example, the change from unlimited breaks with every Flipd session to only one break allowed without a premium subscription wasn't too bad for me. I decided that it would be best to take less breaks anyway. However, today it was the last straw. I discovered that all sessions longer than 40 minutes have been locked under the premium subscription. While I used to be able to go a few hours to a whole day at a time, now I can't even spend an hour in a Flipd session. The only way for me to extend the session would be to constantly start a new one every 40 minutes. This is very inefficient, especially since I use Flipd to help me stay focused on homework for long periods of time. I am finding it increasingly less useful than it was before without upgrading to premium. I am in high school and currently unable to get a premium subscription.

All I ask is for the sessions longer than 40 minutes to be made available for everyone again, or at least the 1 hour and 4 hour sessions. Flipd has been so helpful for me in the past, and I'd hate to lose so much from such a great tool. If you can make these longer sessions available without premium, it would be immensely appreciated. Thanks so much!

Probably as good as full lock can get given iOS limitations

(I was looking for an app that could achieve a true lock down of non-essential apps. I only tried the 5 minute lock down on this app once, and haven't used the app since.) As many others have said, full lock is an excellent idea but not great in execution. Others complained about the apps being out of order - that was fine for me. What I can't live with is having my notification settings reset every time I get back from lock mode. I assume this is how the app works: they achieve lock mode by uninstalling and reinstalling all of your applications. The profile you install gives their servers access to control your phone remotely - which is why an internet connection is necessary. However, it seems that the scope of what they can control is limited - most likely due to iOS's own limitations. The additional script you download seems to be a workaround to reorganize your apps as you had before, but it doesn't restore your notification preferences on the apps that were un/reinstalled. Your apps give you the "allow notifications" pop-up next time you go into each of them. If you are OK with default notification settings, maybe this is a limitation you can live with. I customize the notifications for each app and I am not willing to readjust those every time I use lock down.

Thanks for taking the time to leave this review! To provide more context to other readers, the full lock feature is no longer offered in Flipd as of January 2020, but that feature can be found in our other app, Focus Lock. Please be sure you're downloading Focus Lock if you're looking for the feature to hide your apps, as it's not offered in Flipd. Thanks! - Alanna
