Review Summary
Users praise AppBlock for effectively blocking distracting sites and supporting focus with features like strict timed modes and an easy-to-use interface. Many appreciate its availability on multiple platforms, particularly mobile. However, repeated requests highlight the need for a stronger, downloadable desktop version that is harder to circumvent. Some users note discrepancies between mobile and Chrome extension features and express concerns about intrusive ads injected by the app. Overall, AppBlock is well-regarded as a productivity tool but could improve on desktop support and user experience consistency.
