Blocking isn't working

Make sure Screen Time access is granted: open the App → Settings → Permissions. If access shows as denied, enable it in iOS Settings → Screen Time. Blocking also stops if the App is uninstalled.

How do I unlock my apps?

Open Block&Read, open any book, and read until you hit your daily goal — then tap Unlock. Your apps stay open for the unlock window you configured, and blocking resumes automatically.

I paid but Premium isn't active

Open the paywall (Settings → Block&Read Premium) and tap Restore. Make sure you're signed in with the same Apple Account you used to subscribe.

How do I cancel my subscription?

Subscriptions are managed by Apple: iOS Settings → your name → Subscriptions → Block&Read → Cancel. You keep Premium until the end of the paid period.

Where is my data if I reinstall?

Your reading stats, progress, and library sync through your private iCloud. After reinstalling, give the App a minute on first launch — and if you're Premium, your imported books re-download automatically (you can also tap Try to restore now in Settings → Backup).
