The feature is harder to turn off than traditional app timers, too, many of which can simply be ignored. Instead, Pause Point requires a phone restart to turn it off, Google says, which also makes you think before disabling it.

Is that a common feature of third-party apps? I don't recall hearing about that before, when reading about these types of apps.

    If I knew about that beforehand, I'd probably be much less likely turn it on to begin with. If I learned the hard way, I'd likely be dissuaded from ever trying it again & just get one of those other apps. Conversely, the fact that my current phone boots much faster than older ones did makes it not really as off-putting an issue at it once was. It sounds like a major PITA until you realize that.
