14 days of App Store readings: nothing moved
Median ratings of the ten apps ranking for it. The line is scaled to its own range, so go by the figures: +0.3% over 14 days is flat, so nobody is pulling away.

How to rank for “app blocker”: no top app leads with it
At 11 characters it fits an app name with 19 to spare, yet the 2 names in the top ten that use it are much longer — brands with the keyword attached, which leaves the phrase competing from inside a longer string.
Apple builds phrases out of single words, so the 2 words here (“app”, “blocker”) can sit in different fields and still match the whole term. Each counts once across the name, subtitle and keyword field, so repeating a word you already have buys nothing and takes space another keyword could use.
None of the ten opens its name with it — the 2 that spell it out put it later in the name.
Whether it is worth the slot depends on what else you could use it for. “focus app blocker” scores 30 on opportunity against this term's 25, at difficulty 32 rather than 47. 5 of the 8 related terms score higher; the other 3 score lower.
Choosing keywords you can rank for explains how the three numbers are worked out, and App Store metadata, field by field covers how to split a phrase this long across the three fields.
