Questions

How does app blocking work on iOS?
PrepLockin uses Apple’s official FamilyControls framework — the same Screen Time technology built into every iPhone. You choose which apps to block. When you tap a blocked app, a branded shield appears with a 5-question vocab quiz. Answer correctly and the app unlocks for your chosen duration. All data stays on your device. No tracking, no cloud processing.
What are the illustrated flashcards?
Every word has a custom sticker-style illustration designed to visually reinforce its meaning. When you see “abscond” with a sneaky cartoon thief, your brain encodes both a verbal and visual memory. Recall improves by 65% vs. text alone.
Where do the 958 words come from?
Curated and deduplicated from 5 top GRE prep sources including Barron’s High Frequency list. Organized into progressive study blocks. If a word shows up on the GRE, it’s here.
Can I use it without blocking apps?
Yes. Flashcards, games, widgets, waves, streaks, and heatmap all work independently. But students who enable blocking learn significantly faster.
What happens after the free trial?
Everything is fully unlocked during the 7-day trial. We send a reminder on Day 5. Cancel in iPhone Settings before Day 8 and you pay nothing.

Start today. Master all 958 words by June 20, 2026.
