User Reviews

Wellspent shows promise: a solid concept that reduces screen time and uses mindful nudges, with easy setup and helpful customization. However, pervasive reliability problems—bugs, downtime, lockouts, and inaccurate tracking—undercut its value. Inconsistent notifications, poor support, and billing issues further frustrate users. The app works best when it’s functioning, but ongoing stability and customer service issues significantly impact overall satisfaction.

Pros

Reduces overall screen time / limits time spent on social apps (notably in early use).
Mindfulness nudges and reminders are effective when the app is functioning.
Easy to set up and use with customizable time budgets and tone of prompts.
Strong concept that helps curb doomscrolling when it works.

Cons

Reliability issues: frequent bugs, crashes, and long downtimes where the app stops working.
App can lock you out of the apps you restrict and be hard to unlock.
Inaccurate or inconsistent time tracking and notifications (miscounts, missing nudges).
Poor customer support and refunds, with slow or unfulfilled refund requests.
Billing and trial problems, including unexpected charges or confusing pricing.

I bought this app a year ago and for about 6 months it worked well. Over the past 3-6 months they did an update and it is pretty much a pointless app. Previously it allowed me to customize settings. It no longer does. Unlocking apps is simple; not that I didn’t have the willpower to resist but the reminders to not overspend time on apps used to be much more user friendly.

Woke up and needed to access a different App immediately only to find my screen locked. It took scrolling through several pages to unlock it when time was of the essence.

This app worked great the first week or two, my screen time decreased considerably, then I noticed I was not getting notifications consistently. The type of notifications also changed and they became much easier to simply click and bypass (used to be you had to press and hold- which I found much more effective in making me pause and choose to log off). I wrote customer service and was told there was nothing they could do. Then I stopped getting regular notifications. They only popped every 30 minutes even though I set it to 5 minutes. The ap stopped logging how much time I spent on social media. Then it stopped working for days or weeks at a time. Now the app is down completely while they work through “technical difficulties.” Yikes. Customer service has been unhelpful and will not process a refund. Do not waste your money on this app!
