Agree!! Thanks for pointing this out. Spent forever trying to find an app by looking through every category, essentially increasing my screen time while trying to limit itā¦ A search bar is needed!
@Klair_Hans can you send a screenshot of how your app selection looks like? normally from iOS16.4 onwards there is a search bar. This screen is controlled by Apple. Please update your iPhone (how to).
When I try adding apps from the āotherā category to a blocking session the app freezes and shuts down,

Current situation working on iOS.
Social group opens, can select which ones i want.
Canāt open any other folder.
I can search for W and get some apps show up that have. W in them like Word, others however donāt.
I canāt search under other letters, A, H donāt work, screen crashes.
I canāt add Productivity folder to the white list as thereās too many in it.
No matter which way i try and work it there is no way to use this app to make it work for blocking all of the the distracting apps i need it too.
When will this be fixed, itās been over a year now. I signed up for lifetime subscription and Iām really angry at the apparent lack of care that you have for your customers about this. I want a refund.
Same issue, but for me itās a lot bigger than the āOtherā category, so I thought Iād document it in case itās helpful.
Drop down menus that crash: Social, Entertainment, Information & Reading, Productivity & Finance, Other. Crashes when I search for the letter: A, C, D, E, H, I, L, M, N, O, R, S, T, U
Drop down menus that donāt crash: Games, Creativity, Education, Health & Fitness, Shopping & Food, Travel, Utilities. Letters I can search: B, F, G, J, K, P, Q, V, W, X, Y, Z.
I understand the problem is on Appleās end, but do yāall have an explanation for why it happens? (For exampleāis it having too many apps in one category? Would a drop down menu start working again if I delete a few unused apps in that category?)
Unfortunately this crazy bug prevented me from ever trying Opal since it crashes as soon as I try to add more than 3 apps/sites or tap on any categories or try to use search. Surprisingly the dictation works in the search field but the app still crashes whenever I try to enter anything in the text field.
I wish it could work, but will have to uninstall. Sorry @kenneth
Feel free to reach out if youād like unsolicited feedback on other parts of the app from a brand new user (love the onboarding btw).
Unfortunately this bug persists, and not just when tapping the āOtherā category.
Iām unable to tap into the search bar, and several categories crash as well. Because of this bug, I am unable to add Slack to a block. Iāve tried workarounds such as expanding the Productivity section, but that crashes as well.
Happy to provide device logs and a screen recording. Am on an iPhone 13 Pro Max running iOS 17.5.1.
