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.
Do you find yourself downloading new applications to circumvent your blocking?
This may be the solution:
Note: It can take a short time until AppBlock gets notified that a new application has been installed.
Of course you can! You have two locking options:
1) until a specific time (Time Lock)
2) until connecting a charger. (Charger Lock)
To set up, go into the schedule details screen, press the lock icon on the top right corner and select your preferred locking option (Time Lock / Charger Lock). Please note that once you lock your schedules, you will not be able to do any changes.
Yes! As long as Strict Mode is not active, you are able to pause your active schedules for a selected amount of time. You can also choose to disable the schedule for unspecific time.
In case you want to disable this feature and no longer want to have this feature available in Schedules, please go to AppBlock > More > Settings and turn off the “Enable schedule pause” feature.
Please bear in mind that you cannot pause schedules that are locked.
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.
