• (2025-07-03) Rodney Scrugg: not understand why need external app
• (2025-06-30) ENAMUL HUQ Tareq: I've been using this app for a week and am already very impressed. Having tried numerous website-blocking tools in the past, I can confidently say this is the best one so far. I'm giving it four stars only because it currently lacks the ability to block specific custom URLs—for example, "facebook.com/reels"—a feature available in some other apps. If this functionality is added, it has the potential to be the best app of its kind in every aspect.
• (2025-04-14) Colin Christ: Been using this product for nearly a decade! It definitely has been helpful for my maintaining focus!
• (2025-03-15) Silvio Carrera: The best thing is to be able to start a session and block access on multiple devices. Game changer for your focus. Perfect.
• (2025-02-25) Jesus Sanchez: Works sporadically on web. And when it does work, it works for 2 minutes then proceeds to not work anymore for an hour after. Support wasn't able to solve it either. So although I do recommend Freedom for ios, I would discourage installing it to block google chrome apps. However, Freedom blocks ios apps and other pc applications well. I think I'll install another software just for google chrome blocking but keep Freedom for pc and ios blocking. Also I've been using this software for years, and not much has been added. I've seen newer software add things like time limits (directly to the main app) , session breaks, different commitments on different sessions (like only having locked mode on particular sessions), whitelists, etc. None of these which Freedom has. Maybe its hard to implement these features on a blocker that sycs across multiple devices? Idk.
• (2025-02-10) Nightshade: I am a long time Freedom paid user, recently I switched to two new browsers specifically Arc and Zen Browsers, and I was disappointed to see that the Freedom extension ceases to work while the other free extensions such as Limit and Pause works, don't get why the premium product fails to work however the free extension works, for now, the extension gets a 2 star for me, it worked so well before I switched my browsers
• (2025-01-22) Christopher Cain: Not only does this "extension" require you to install a standalone application for it to function, but it also requires a $9 a month subscription.
• (2024-10-31) Donatas Bengardavičius: It works nicely and serves me perfectly! Got the Forever plan! Honestly it's sometimes frustrating to not be able to waste my time, but that's the price of freedom :D Recommend!
• (2024-10-17) fatih çağal: bad
• (2024-09-19) Hakan Karsilar: Saves me a ton of time! Works perfectly. Highly recommended.
• (2024-09-19) Aaqib: I am Unable tomake payments for any plan by any other methods except PayPal and Credit Card.
• (2024-08-14) Josh Marbert: A lifesaver in breaking some bad distraction habits! Even in the first week, this app has more than paid for itself in productivity I've reclaimed (and the doomscrolling malaise that goes with those distractions).
• (2024-04-19) Vivian Fiszer: This app is the only one I have found that completely prevents cheating. I am thankful for your help. I can block distractions, manage my shopping habits (food included). I am absolutely grateful for that! Whenever something didn't work, their teammate was always there to lend me a hand. In my view, it's worth every cent. Just blocking shops has already saved me a lot of money, not to mention the stress that comes with procrastination.
• (2024-03-28) Марио Павлов: Login window can be improved, it does not accept auto fill from my Password manager, and whenever I try to copy and paste password and username it auto-closes the window. Maybe you can implement sync by link so that I can use the web portal to login and the authorize the browser. About the desktop app, it would be perfect if you also support Linux as well as other systems
• (2024-03-08) Stephen Owen: its ok but i cant change the settings =(
• (2024-01-15) Adam E: Used it for years, love it. Helps me focus
• (2024-01-04) Danny Whalen: Have you ever thought to yourself, "If only there were some way I could successfully outsource my self control, then maybe I could do anything?" I've probably had that thought every day of my adult life. I've tried everything too; deleting games and social media, asking friends to change my passwords and telling them not to give it back to me until I beg... I've sent phone numbers I don't want to drunk dial and passwords for mind-numbing social media accounts and home videos I don't want to obsess over to dummy email accounts that I've made it impossible to access. I've deleted entire hard-drives full of distracting games and irrelevant To-Do lists and nostalgia-inducing photo albums that seemed to haunt me daily. For the first time in 15 years, I have a digital confidant I can trust. Aside from its inability to block my television, my liquor cabinet, or my penchant for impulsive napping, I feel that I finally have some sort of effective impulse control. Now whenever I instinctively open Twitter or Netflix or Grindr or Solitaire, a simple image of a green butterfly comes up in its place along with a gentle, uplifting message like "YOU ARE FREE. GO DO GREAT THINGS." Whenever I resent the time I've wasted on my devices at the end of the day, I set up preventive measures for myself for the next day, blocking my choice of apps and websites for specific periods of time, always to my choosing. Do you have a problem wasting your lunch break on TikTok? Staying up late watching Office reruns? Spending every bathroom break playing Angry Birds? Compulsively checking your Tinder without any intention of meeting anyone? Freedom is the gentle slap on the wrist you've been wanting to give yourself for years. I am extremely broke but the annual subscription is well worth the price, and next year I will be upgrading to the "Forever" package. I have never been inspired to write a review for an app in my life, but this time, I felt I had to. Freedom has been resuscitating my life, and my ambitions, one day at a time.
• (2023-12-22) Mohd Hamza: Disappointed!! Why do you tell us in Bio that It is not Free!!
• (2023-08-27) Shvat Eilat: very bad, keep sending spam even though I blocked them thousand of times and cancelled subscription. the program itself doesn't work at all but refuses to be uninstalled so you get the feeling this is a virus all the time

• (2023-04-11) Maxime: This is actually a paid extension. I would have liked it to be clearer from the Chrome Web Store page. I think a lot of your bad reviews may be users that never had any intention to pay anything but were still tricked to install the extension and create an account.

• (2023-03-05) Yazan Zaid: Dear Freedom Team, I am writing to express my appreciation for your excellent application. I recently purchased Freedom lifetime after trying multiple fully premium products (like Cold Turkey Blocker). Your application is worth the money. I especially like Freedom's iOS integration and the screen time application blocking features. However, I have one suggestion for improvement. I wish you could add the focus filters feature in iOS so that the syncing between Apple devices would be much smoother, especially using the focus filters as a trigger for Freedom blocks using the Shortcuts app. I understand that there are some limitations of the syncing states between iOS devices (It's not Freedom's fault). Furthermore, I have also created some shortcuts that help the syncing process between my Apple/Devices. I love to share them with you if you are interested. Thank you for creating such a productive and user-friendly application. Please keep up the good work! The only problem that the support team takes too long to reply if they reply to your messages. I wish they improve their customer service. Sincerely, Yazan Zaid

• (2023-01-05) Daniel R.: Hi John, any plans to make the ios expirence of freedom more like the app "AppBlock" where it blocks the app using the screen time feature instead of blocking the internet with VPN? I love the fact the with Freedom I can block all my devices at the same time

• (2023-01-02) Jorge Coj: Not able to use it without the windows app. My workplace policies does not allow me to install software just chrome extensions, but I cannot use the extension in windows without installing the windows app. Totally a bummer.

• (2022-09-21) C A L: Si vous utilisez l'application Windows ou Mac, cette extension de navigateur ne semble pas utile car elle ne fait qu'afficher "Freedom is active" quand vous cliquez sur son icône, et ne sert qu'à afficher un écran vert quand vous êtes sur une URL bloquée (ce que l'application Windows fait déjà). Mais le service (payant) de Freedom est vraiment super, est complet (multiplateforme), et mérite 5 étoiles 👍 Si vous avez besoin de mettre fin un bonne fois pour toutes aux distractions, c'est ça qu'il vous faut ! 😉👌 Pensez bien à passer du temps à essayer toutes les options de l'application, faire des essais et trouver les bons réglages pour tirer profit au maximum de ce qu'elle a à offrir, une fois que tout est bien réglé, ça marche super bien 😎

• (2022-08-31) Anish: Installed and added this app because it was supposed to work on multiple devices. In reality, that means you have to set up a blocklist for each devices and start your session on each devices. Maybe I am getting it wrong but the UI is really throwing me off here. I signed in 3 times and I have spend 30 min figuring out how to set it up, without results. Please team, improve your UI because you are loosing users here..

• (2022-07-16) Luis Del Rasso: NOTE: you need a subscription to use this! They need to change the name instead of "website blocker" or add something in the description. Something to show its a plug-in for premium users. It's an awesome productivity service and definitely worth the money, and I hate to see them getting more negative reviews! I contacted the support team, very nice people and responded quickly, as I was having access to sites I initially blocked and was recommended this extension. Now my blocklists are working as they should and smoothly on all my devices! They just need to change the name or add something in the description and I'll change it to a 5 star!!
