Been using for a while now, great app I love it it is super helpful. I even paid for the pro version or whatever and it's really worth it and awesome for what I need. However, since one of the updates I cannot pause or turn off the blocked apps tab. This has been occuring since November/December ish of 2024, and I've been waiting for an update but one has not come yet. I am using a Pixel 7. Would love to rate higher if this feature is fixed, as I need to be able to pause the blocked apps

Bought premium—dissapointed with the service, before buying premium there's already an existing problem, there's no "settings" menu, this would make it difficult to navigate the app (just want to point this out). My dissapointed on premium is, the app's having a long time closing fb reels, like it takes around 3-5 seconds before closing the reel, sometimes doesn't even close it which completely defeats the purpose of the app (regret buying premium, should've sticked to free version)

It doesn't hide shorts, it just throws you back if you try going into one. As addicted as I am, I found out that you can reclick a short within 1-2 seconds without getting thrown back. So I ended up just watching shorts as normal, but having to click the shorts button between each short when it throws me out. It worked OK in the start though. The "smart" time throws you out at a very good timing, right before the point of no return. I'ld say try this app and hopefully it works for you.
