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

You can add Apps manually to Modes in ScreenCoach to allow/block, using their App IDs. This is helpful in few scenarios.

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.
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:

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

The App ID here is - com.sec.android.daemonapp
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
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.
Save and Apply.

Now the App is added to an App Category. 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
