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).
