User Reviews

ScrollGuard is praised for effectively reducing social media doomscrolling without ads or costly premiums, offering simple and customizable modes to enhance focus and productivity. Users appreciate its help in managing time spent on their phones and the app's straightforward, useful design. However, common issues include insufficient blocking of Facebook reels, overblocking during productive usage such as reading articles, occasional app permission problems stopping functionality, lack of security features to lock settings, and alert popups that appear too quickly even in relaxed modes.

Pros

Effectively limits phone and social media scrolling, helping users reduce doomscrolling and improve productivity.
Simple, no ads, and no paid premium version, making it accessible to everyone.
Multiple modes (chill, normal, strict) allowing customization of blocking intensity.
Helps users regain attention span and reduce time wasted on social media short format content.
Positive and supportive user experience with helpful and effective blocking features.

Cons

Lacks option to block Facebook reels/short videos within the app, requested by multiple users.
Does not distinguish between productive reading/studying and doomscrolling, causing interruption even during necessary usage.
Some users experience app malfunction or permission loss after extended use, causing blocking to stop working.
No password or lock feature available to prevent users from changing settings easily, reducing effectiveness for some.
Alert popups for blocking can be too frequent or early especially on 'Chill' mode, perceived as not relaxed enough.
