1) Track screen time:

With this app, you can track time spent on social media (you can also limit social media usage time) and other apps on a daily basis. You can see cool statistics of time spent on apps in the last 7 days. You can also find statistics of the time spent on each app (this is a premium feature).

2) Set a daily limit on social media:

This Android screen time blocker application you can set a daily goal on the amount of time you want to spend on social media. This way, you have more time to spend in the real world and with real people. Once the limit is set on this social media blocker app, whenever you open a social media app, you will see a timer at the top of the screen. This timer keeps you conscious of your goal of keeping your usage to less than one hour. When your usage is less than 50% of your goal, the timer will show in green color. Once you cross 50%, it switches to orange / amber. After your usage crosses 90%, the timer will switch to a cautioning red color.

3) Block apps other than social media:

Not just social media apps, you can also track and block other apps that take away your time. E.g. let’s say you spend a lot of time on YouTube. But, Youtube is technically not a social media product. However, you can still add it to the list of apps to be tracked and the blocker tracks and limits your usage of youtube.To add more than 3 social media apps, you will need a premium subscription.

SocialX user reviews :

This has helped a lot in keeping me away from spending too much time my phone, especially the “Focus Mode” widget. However, I am not able to modify my daily limit. After I drag the bar over to the time limit I’d prefer, there’s only the option to close out the daily limit screen and the limit remains the same. Some help would be great.

  • Thanks for your review, Tony. We apologize for the inconvenience caused. If you can send us a screen recording demonstrating the issue at support@blockerx.org, this will help us as we investigate the issue to provide you with a solution. You can use the AZ recorder app to capture screen recording.

I like this app so far. However I am getting annoyed at the night time social media block feature. I have it go from 11pm until 8am, and it does its job of blocking Facebook and Instagram. It blocks the social media apps marked with the blue line, but not the ones marked with the orange line (which for me are youtube, yt music, and yt studio). This is ridiculous. The whole point of me getting the app was to block my usage of youtube during the night, and it can’t even do that. Update: Fixed

  • Thanks for taking the time to review our app, Richhunta. We’re glad to know that the issue has been resolved. Please recommend our app to your friends, and feel free to send us any queries or suggestions at support[at]blockerx.org.

I used to like this app, but today it froze my phone quickly. No matter how many times I clilcked the x button on the reminder, it didn’t react, and my phone’s screen was grey. If I pressed a button from the to do list, it opened social x, but couldn’t do anything either. If I pressed the home button or the power off button, it reacted, but couldn’t select power off, or close all apps, my phone was completely frozen.In the end had to look up how to do a hard reset, and now uninstalled the app.

  • We apologize for the inconvenience, Peet. We have not had this issue reported to us before, and we’d certainly like to work this through for you. Could you share the details at support[at]blockerx.org? And any relevant screenshots would be immensely valuable. Thank you.
