## Review summary

Reviewers like the concept and minimalist design and some report solid functionality when it works, but widespread issues dominate: iOS reliability and lock-bug problems, difficult onboarding, pricing/refund hassles, and UI glitches that clutter the screen.

### Pros

- Appealing minimalist concept and clean interface.
- Useful for reducing screen time and limiting app access.
- When it works, it provides solid functionality and can be reliable for months.
- Positive feedback from users who want a focused, distraction-free home screen.

### Cons

- Reliability issues and compatibility problems on iOS; not consistently functional.
- Locking features are buggy and do not auto-activate or behave reliably.
- Pricing concerns and refund hassles, including perceived overcharging and slow or denied refunds.
- Challenging onboarding and setup with unskippable questions and confusing steps.
- UI and visual glitches, such as persistent widget borders and clutter that contradict the minimalist goal.
