FAQs

To resolve your issue with AppBlock Premium, please follow these steps:

  1. Ensure you are signed in to the same Google Play account used to purchase AppBlock Premium by navigating to the Google Play Store → Your profile picture → Payments and subscriptions → Subscriptions. If AppBlock is listed, you are signed in to the correct account. Otherwise, switch to the appropriate account. Then, go to the Troubleshooting section in AppBlock and tap “Restore purchases” at the bottom.
  2. If restoring purchases did not resolve the issue, clear the Google Play Store cache by going to Settings → Applications → Play Store → Storage and cache → Clear storage. Close the settings, reopen the Google Play Store, close AppBlock (remove it from recent apps), and reopen it. You can also refer to our detailed guide on how to restore your purchase.
  3. If none of the above works, try reinstalling AppBlock. If the problem persists, please contact our support team for further assistance.

Yes this is possible! Just make sure you’re signed in with the same Google Play account that you used to purchase the Premium version, and you’ll have access to all premium features on your other Android devices.

Simply download the AppBlock app on your additional devices and log in with your existing account to enjoy your Premium benefits across all of them. If you don’t see the premium features, you may need to restore your purchase by going to AppBlock > Profile > Restore Purchases.

However, if you’re using devices across different platforms (Android and iOS), it’s currently not possible to share the subscription between them. We are working on a multi-platform solution to make this process easier in the future. For more details, please check out our article I have a Premium subscription on Android, how can I make it work on iOS?

We will release a multiplatform solution soon that will allow you to use a single subscription on all platforms so stay tuned!

Sure thing! You can do so by going to AppBlock > More > Settings > PIN code. In case you forget your PIN code, don’t hesitate to contact us via the “I need help with unblocking” reason in the contact form, so we can send you an unblocking solution.

Once you choose Allowlist blocking, all system apps are gonna be automatically allowed and you cannot unpick these. Other system apps in the package that is present in your device from the beginning (such as calendar, calculator, contacts etc) are also pre-selected, however, you can unpick these anytime.

AppBlock app is a special case. Our app is always allowed and you cannot deselect it. All the other apps that were installed into your device manually are not preselected and you can manually allow these.

We’re aware that after updating to version 7.1.1 or 7.1.2, some websites and keywords may not be blocked as expected. We’re working on a fix that will be included in version 7.1.3, which we’ll release as soon as possible. In the meantime, if you remove the “Block Recent Apps” condition in Strict Mode, website blocking should work again. Once the update is available, please be sure to update AppBlock to fully resolve the issue.

We appreciate your patience and understanding.
