We are able to offer uninstall protection / prevention on some devices, and not able to on others. Uninstall protection is effective on some device and OS combinations and not on others - we cannot possibly cover all devices, OSs and uninstall paths worldwide.
Because of this - we highly recommend that everyone set up Accountability Partners.
We now offer Uninstall Accountability to discourage installation and help keep you on the straight path to success!

UPCOMING CHANGES TO UNINSTALL PROTECTION FOR ANDROID
From Android 13+, Google/Android are now prohibiting and making it impossible for apps to prevent uninstallation. For this reason, we are focusing on improving our accountability features, uninstall accountability, and may remove support for uninstall protection on Android altogether in the near future.
HOW UNINSTALL PROTECTION WORKS
Important points relating to uninstall protection:
The purpose of uninstall protection is to make it challenging enough to uninstall the app, that you have time to become conscious and use the training and other features we provide in REMOJO to overcome the temptation:
Namely: urge management techniques from Urge Manager and the in-app courses, the community, or phone lock mode
Uninstall protection attempts to make it challenging to uninstall the app, of course we cannot make it impossible.
Due to the huge number of Android and Windows devices, manufacturers and OS combinations, we cannot guarantee that this feature will work well on your given device
Uninstall prevention is prohibited by Google for Android 13+
Uninstall prevention is prohibited and impossible to deliver for iPhones due to Apple constraints and policies
UNINSTALL PROTECTION - STATUS BY PLATFORM AND OS:
