Bugs, things not working47%

7 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ I had combined cape with apple shortcuts before the update and now they are completely broken.
★★★★★ It used to be a great app. Not it's impossible to choose which app to hide. Purchased the full version and I wasted my money
★★★★★ But it fails to deliver in a successful manner.
Price and subscription27%

4 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ Understandable pricing, free has enough features to get around.
★★★★★ Purchased the full version and I wasted my money
★★★★★ I'm sad to report that this is the only app for which I have ever requested a refund… it just doesn't work as well as I need it to.
Limits, credits, locked features13%

2 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ Oh and the 2 limit on scheduler?
★★★★★ Which has its own limitations (50 apps/urls limit etc)… which doesn't help my plight for a distraction free world.
Worse after an update13%

2 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ App was working well, was using for many months without any problem and this update changed everything… now it's take ages to unblock the apps… I don't know if I can use my blocked apps anymore or not… Anyway whoever…
★★★★★ Out of nowhere they completely updated the app.
WHAT THEY ASK FOR
  • A couple of things, could you make the incognito note app more functional so it looks more realistic? 5★, Dec 20, 2024
  • I think the whole ecosystem/api/Cape type apps need a few months/years to mature… and by then, the feature set will probably be native. 2★, Oct 22, 2024
  • I wish I could hide more apps and have more groups only because I cant afford the free version but other than that the actual app itself amazing!!!!! 4★, Sep 18, 2023
WORDS THAT KEEP COMING UP IN BAD REVIEWS

Nothing stands out.

WHAT THEY LOVE · SHARE OF GOOD REVIEWS
Useful, it helps11%

2 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.

★★★★★ I also set up shortcuts so I could run the cloaking via my Apple Watch, which is also really helpful.
★★★★★ It would be very helpful if you could also hide the files explorer app when outside of the safe zone, 5 stars if that gets implemented (also keeping the icon grouping intact would be really useful)

Cap screen time

Hmmm nice app

★★★★★May 10, 2026
Hide the app on my home screen totally

Why can I see the app on my phone screen even though it’s hidden? Before I couldn’t see the app at all when it’s hidden and I liked it that way but now I can see it.

★★★★★Feb 21, 2026
Rubbish Update

App was working well, was using for many months without any problem and this update changed everything… now it’s take ages to unblock the apps… I don’t know if I can use my blocked apps anymore or not… Anyway whoever was thinking that after update they will make a change in good way was just over confident… Request to App creators. Plsss bring the older version back if you can pls…

★★★★★Feb 20, 2026
Disappointed…

If you asked me a week ago what I would rate cape, I’d give it 5 stars. Understandable pricing, free has enough features to get around. App is easy to navigate. And most importantly it worked. I had a severe addiction to reels on instagram, spending nearly 8 hours daily on it. However I can no longer praise the app. Out of nowhere they completely updated the app. I was trying to unblock instagram so I could ring a friend and not get kicked out, but the app looked completely different! My block had turned into distraction shield??? I had combined cape with apple shortcuts before the update and now they are completely broken. Oh and the 2 limit on scheduler? Completely removed without pro!! Half the app is now behind a paywall… Disgusting. I hate when a good app sells out, eventually loosing all the day one customers who originally supported them. I get that it’s costly to run, i’ve been in the app game myself, but for an app advertised towards people who are addicted to social media… man it feels very weird.

Store description

If you find yourself spending too much time on social media, short-form videos, or games, Cape can help you stay focused by pausing excess app usage and restoring access at the right time. By adding gentle pauses and clear boundaries, Cape helps reduce distraction, curb impulsive app openings, and support healthier digital habits -— especially for people who struggle with attention or ADHD-related challenges. What you can do with Cape: - Set daily screen time limits: Apps pause automatically when you reach your limit. - Take a Break: Cape pauses apps after extended usage and resumes them automatically once your break ends. - Customize the Pause Screen with a personal message, countdown, and usage summary, shown when you open paused apps to help you stay mindful. - Use On-demand Access and Delayed Resume to reduce impulsive app openings. - Automate with Allow Zones & Block Zones, schedules, and Shortcuts to control access automatically. - Stay informed with notifications and reports. With Cape, pausing excess screen time becomes automatic, intentional, and easy.
