Digital Detach

Doesn't work on my OS. I can still hit the home or tab screen to exit the app. The app is useful as a reminder if you leave it active when it's in standby mode. But it definitely does not lock me out as I had hoped.

I paid for the app because another free app kept crashing, but this doesn't do anything. I still have full access to all my apps. Ugh.

I am confused. I still have access to all my apps.

I can still get on facebook and use all the apps on my phone... This isn't working for my Samsung LG3. Any suggestions? Great idea, though.

Once i start detatch phone still functions normally until i reopen the app

Does not work. Still have access to all my apps.

Amused with this app. So far, so good!

I purchased it. Set hours, and STILL had access to all of my apps. Asked for a refund because I have no patience for apps that do not work, and I'll forget about it. Will someone please make a quality app that has these capabilities? Not one in the Google Store works properly.

Didn't work at all. Sony Xperia Z running 6.0.1

You launch the app and you can't do anything but open calls and texts.

I was hoping for more options. It would be nice to be able to program a schedule for when the detach times take place, so I don't have to launch it each day when I want to detach. It would also be nice to choose which apps are affected (IE - have it not affect Maps/Nav). This is a great app idea, hopefully future updates include new features and options. Could be a big money maker... I looked around and there's only this one and dumbphone (free), but I didn't like dumbphone.

App should have access to work email. Using this app to be less distracted during work but can not access Outlook app

It's a fantastic idea, limiting all except texting and calling, but this turns off my phone and my stock texting app. I have T-Mobile and a gs5. If I was still able to text and call, it would be perfect. As is, I can't use it. It cuts EVERYTHING off. I realize that it will reset if I restart the phone, but I need to take calls for work at any time and I also need to use my alarm clock. I'm going to request a refund if the calling and texting isn't fixed. If this was a free app, I'd just delete it.

I really like the concept, but I can't access my messaging app. I'm on Android 5.1.1 with a Samsung galaxy s5. Any way to fix this or whitelist my sms app?

After starting a session, the app doesn't stop me from using apps. It allows email and other notifications through, so at least on my phone, it fails to do its only job.

Great App. I needed this to help me block off time to stay focused. It does not allow me to use my Verizon Messaging+ app on my Galaxy S6. I may try the default Samsung messaging App to see if it works.

It would be nice to have a "whitelist" but overall this app is great! Sometimes you just need to escape from the constant demand of the internet!

Super for time out

Does what it says. I like that it limits to only call, text, and camera. My only request is the ability to schedule it. I want to know that I have so much time left before it shuts down. Having to manually do it everyday gives me to much leeway to put it off or not do it at all.

After starting the detaching, when I press home button i can still access everything! So uninstalling.

Does not do anything to whatsapp.. How can I get refund ?

Great idea, but seems half baked. No way to deactivate or white list.

If you could whitelist apps yourself then it would be perfect. Very responsive developer.

Please please please add Uber and Maps. Or even the ability to select which apps are allowed (like an audio book). Everything else about it is perfect. Edit: I use go sms pro, so I can't use this app if I need to text. Bummer!

Great way to to get away from all the distractions a phone can bring. Everything works great and I'm definitely saving data usage, thank you digital detach!

I am unable to text when this app is enabled. I also can't actually answer phone calls, though I can return them. It's the texting thing that really bugs me. I have a similar app on my computer that turns off access to social networks because I work from home with ADD. But not being able to text makes me feel truly cut off from the world and it's the one frustration I have with this app. Is there any way it can be fixed?

Works flawlessly on my Z1 Compact and has stopped me looking at my phone every 10 minutes at work!

Guess I'm not really ready to "detach" this way. Unless you develop an upgrade that allows cancellation at will, this app is useless. I can use airplane mode to save battery and then re-connect as needed. With DD I'm stuck detached for the period I set and that definitely doesn't work for me.

Thanks for this. There's some times when I can't help myself but check Facebook and Instagram when I should be doing other stuff. Digital Detach helped me get stuff done IRL.

Very thorough! I will only be using it in short bursts haha

I really, truly love the idea of this app. I am a serious phone addict and I'm trying to detox. However, a primary reason I don't want to simply get rid of my smartphone in the first place is because of its quality camera. This app unfortunately will not allow me to use my camera, which is a deal breaker. Also, for some reason I didn't have access to my text messages using this app, either. I really wanted this app to help! But it needs some changes before it would be right for me.

Luke's done amazing job with a problem we all have.

What a catchy name, this app does what it says, tried pomodoro, and so many methods but this does the job and does it well. Completely cuts you off from the wire (well wireless wire). Its well put easy to use and works very well.

I'm going to set it when I'm driving!

Amused with this app. So far, so good!

At least white list the camera app, apps like Google maps that are useful in everyday life but are unlikely to be time wasters for anyone, and add support for more popular texting apps like Google hangouts, textra and maybe kindle/Google books. Also I need access to phone settings (optional as I know it keeps users from stopping the app) and I can't see my contacts. Definitely 5 stars with the changes but right now it is practically unusable for me without at least support for more texting apps.

This app is great for students and the continual social media distractions!
