User Reviews

Users praise the app for its innovative social approach to enforcing screen time and its positive impact on reducing doomscrolling and improving mental health. They also highlight it as fun and engaging, with developers who are responsive. Common drawbacks include bugs and unreliable time limits, a paywall that limits free use, usability issues, and missing features like metrics and fine-grained controls for groups.

Cons

Bugs and reliability issues, with time limits not enforcing correctly and occasional blocking problems.

Missing features and limitations (metrics, time-request controls, editable app groups), reducing fine-tuning.

Recent reviews

I love how affordable it is. I typically hate paywalls but this is genuinely a good app. Got my buddies to do it with me. We have all seen reduced screen time.

friend controls is a great app, and it's genuinly helped me with lowering down my screen time, but i've noticed a problem that's been happening for a while now. i have my tiktok app screen time set to an hour and a half, but whenever i use the app, even if it's just for 1 minute, and i exit it completely, later when i try to go back in it says i used up all my screen time. and when i ask for more screen time from my friend and i repeat the same action, the same thing happens again. i'm not really sure what the problem is, but other then that it really is a great app that's helped me control my screen time hours.
