User Reviews

Users appreciate the app's effective time-delay controls, customizable features, and clear usage statistics, praising its support in reducing phone addiction. However, many report recurring bugs such as crashes, unreliable background operation, and dysfunctional break/downtime features. Managing whitelists is cumbersome, notifications and filters sometimes malfunction, and strict blocking can hinder multitasking. Overall, while users find it helpful and unique for digital detox, stability and usability improvements are needed.

Pros

Effective time delay and app start restriction features help reduce compulsive phone use.
Customizable settings including downtime and app whitelisting provide tailored screen time control.
Free version offers significant features without forcing payment, making it accessible.
Usage statistics and graphs clearly display app usage and help users track habits.
Break reminders and calming activities during overuse breaks support digital detox efforts.

Cons

App has bugs causing crashes, delayed starts restarting repeatedly, and downtime features not always functioning properly.
Background operation is unreliable; app often stops running or blocks apps unexpectedly.
Whitelist management is cumbersome; users must open apps first to whitelist and some settings disappear.
Notifications are disabled or malfunctioning for some users, and blue light filter can cause UI to become unresponsive.
Blocking settings can be too restrictive, making multitasking (e.g., switching between apps) inconvenient.

Recent reviews

I loved this app when I first used it in 2020. I worked on my habits and eventually uninstalled it. Came back to it in 2023, and now it doesn't work the same anymore. Seeing that the app was last updated in August 2020 makes sense. I can't get the app to continue staying active and running in the background; it always ends up getting shut off, even after checking all my phone settings. Lots of quality of life changes be nice, like being easier to white-list apps. Seems they abandoned this app.

I never write reviews, but this app made me do it. All apps are blocked as default, so it closes down any you try to open. Even if you wanted to whitelist them all, you can't, because you need to open them at least once to make it detect them and list them. Some settings disappear for some apps and the countdown for resetting the settings is completely wrong. Overall, really tried to make it work, but hated how much extra work I need to do to compensate their bugs and bad design.
