Review summary

ScrollKiller is praised for effectively helping reduce social media addiction with its minimalist ad-free design and motivational overlays. Users appreciate its ability to promote mindful usage and prevent doomscrolling. However, common complaints include missing features like game blocking, feed-only blocking options, device-specific bugs (especially auto start issues), the inability to customize hold time below a minimum threshold, and some UI annoyances such as persistent notifications and cumbersome settings management.

Pros

Effectively reduces social media and phone addiction by making users reconsider usage
Ad-free and minimalist, offering a clean user interface
Customizable with options such as hard mode and motivational quotes
Helps users stop doomscrolling and promotes self-reflection
Allows control over blocked apps and usage duration

Cons

Lack of features like blocking games and feed-only blockers (e.g., reels, spotlight)
Issues with auto start and app functioning on certain devices (e.g., Xiaomi MI 9)
Some users find the motivational quotes or messages unpleasant or cringey
The unlock/hold button duration is fixed and cannot be reduced below a limit
Annoying persistent notifications and difficulties with UI usability when trying to change settings

2024-12-28	Je*****	Perfect solution, ideas and functions that are perfectly executed. The fact that it's ad-free, super minimalist and super clean is the cherry on top. I think it may help if there was a toggle for the occasional social media diversion screen when you open social media that appears even when "Hard mode" is off. Also, please make a toggle for the diversion screen appearing while watching normal landscape videos. On YouTube, this is annoying while a music playlist is playing.
