app blocker is too easily bypassable #136

bypassing the screen blocker popup can be done with some skilled tapping...:

screen recording

so this app relies on you making a contract with yourself to not break the rules you set. that should then be enforced by features like the app blocker. thing is, not deactivating, uninstalling or other ways of cheating require a conscious effort and the breaking of your own promises, but a simple gesture bypassing the block screen doesn't really and it can be done with very little consciousness so it would be good if the app blocker wouldn't be bypassable like this.

also for me when the time is used up, it doesn't block automatically, but only after for example reentering it
