AntiSocial: phone addiction
What kind of app blocking features does AntiSocial offer?
AntiSocial provides granular control through strict daily time limits per app and scheduled Focus Sessions. You can completely block entire categories of apps, like social media, during set times to prevent mindless browsing.
How does AntiSocial track and display my phone usage?
The app offers a brutally effective dashboard that tracks screen time and phone pickups. It presents this data without sugarcoating, showing details like how many times you unlocked your phone and fell into a distraction rabbit hole.
I'm having issues with tracking after a phone update. What can I do?
Background tracking can glitch after an OS update, as noted in the review. Try restarting your phone and ensuring all app permissions are re-enabled. If the issue persists, contact support, though response times may be slow.
Is the interface for setting up Focus Sessions difficult to use?
Yes, some users find the scheduling interface confusing, like configuring a router. Creating a complex recurring session that excludes specific apps, like work messaging, can involve a puzzling maze of menus and toggle switches.
How does AntiSocial compare to other apps that charge a subscription?
Unlike many competitors, AntiSocial is completely free with no ads, subscriptions, or premium tiers. It offers powerful tracking and blocking tools without payment, though it may lack the polished interface or dedicated support of paid apps.
