How does Recovo block gambling apps and websites on iPhone?
Recovo blocks in two layers. A built-in Safari extension automatically blocks 330+ known gambling and sportsbook domains — plus every .casino, .bet, .poker, .bingo, .slots and .lotto address — always on, with nothing to configure. For device-wide coverage across every browser and the gambling apps themselves, Recovo guides you through Apple's Screen Time (Family Controls) picker in about a minute.
Is Recovo free?
Recovo starts with a free 3-day trial. After that, Recovo Pro is an auto-renewable subscription that unlocks blocking, streak tracking, the journal, and the accountability partner feature. You can cancel anytime.
Does Recovo work on Android?
Recovo is currently available on iOS only, because it relies on Apple's Screen Time API to block gambling apps and sites. An Android version isn't available yet.
What is an accountability partner?
An accountability partner is someone you trust who helps you stay on track. Turning off the block requires an unlock code that's sent by SMS to your partner, so you can't quietly disable it in a moment of urge. Your partner consents to receive the messages first.
Do I need an accountability partner to use Recovo?
No. If you'd rather not involve anyone else yet, turn on Lockdown Mode instead — the block runs on a timer and nothing can end it early, not even you, until it expires. Add a partner any time you're ready for a second layer of accountability.
What happens if I relapse?
Nothing gets deleted and nothing you've done gets erased. Log it in the app and Recovo starts a new streak at Day 1 — your best streak stays saved as proof of what you're capable of. Relapse is not failure, it's information.
Is my data private?
Yes. Your notification and blocking settings live on your device. Your accountability partner's name and number live there too, and reach our server only to send their SMS — then they're deleted automatically within 7 days. Your journal, relapse history, resisted urges and profile sync securely to your private account for backup and cross-device access, and are never sold.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes, anytime, right from your iPhone's subscription settings — no calls or emails required. Canceling doesn't delete your data; your streak and history stay tied to your account if you ever come back.
