# How to add an App manually to Block/Allow List on Android?


|| You can add Apps manually to Modes & App categories in ScreenCoach to allow/block, using their App IDs. This is helpful in few scenarios. 
This step is **only needed if** you cannot see the application in the list of applications.

1. Some Android devices (modified OS by the brands like Samsung, Huawei etc) - they may have their own launchers for Apps. ScreenCoach may block these launchers if they are not added to allow list. 
2. Sometimes, you may not find a particular App in the list of Apps inside a Mode in ScreenCoach. 

Note: You can find this App ID on the block screen of ScreenCoach. 

Here is an example scenario:

1. ScreenCoach has blocked the weather app - and displays the block screen

2. On the block screen, look for the App ID below - **The app "Weather has been blocked**

3. The App ID here is - **com.sec.android.daemonapp** 

4. On your Parent Device - Open ScreenCoach - Go to Settings - Choose the Mode you want to add this app to - Go to Apps Tab - Choose Android
5. Tap on the "+" icon on the top right - Enter a Name for this App (For example: Weather) - And enter the App ID we just got from the block screen - **com.sec.android.daemonapp**. 
6. Save and Apply.

Now the App is added to an App Category or mode . You can add this to a mode to Allow/Block. 

| Tip: To make this App as an Always allowed app, you may add this App to the Always Allowed section inside Settings of ScreenCoach
