1. 5/5I got my life back

   Scrolling on social media like Instagram and TikTok is incredibly addictive. I tried a few other screen-time reduction apps and methods with little success. This app works for me because there are so many intervention walls which help me pause before opening the addictive apps. Then you can choose 5, 10, 15, or 30 minute sessions so you don’t get carried away. Plus, the cute brain mascot gets hurt every time you scroll, and I don’t wanna hurt him!! Now I’m spending less than an hour per day on these apps instead of 5-7 hours! I’m reading books, going outside, and working on creative projects. I don’t know the latest TikTok trends. My brain is healing! That being said, I wouldn’t say this app is perfect yet. I’ve noticed a few minor glitches (nothing that interrupts the app function). The addition of a few extra features could make it more functional and useful. Plus, the price is a bit high. I’m still leaving 5 stars because this app works! Its fundamental design is high effective, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone struggling with phone addiction.

2. 1/5Not worth the money

   I downloaded the app to help with my screen time. I was surprised and a bit annoyed when a subscription was needed. I wasn’t going to pay but when exiting out there was a 50% off the annual plan. 1) that feels scammy. Just offer the $25/year subscription straight away instead of baiting people in with the higher rate. 2) $5/week is insane! For a screen time app that is available default on iPhone? Either way I decided to try since my screen time is out of control. The interface is a bit clunky and there’s a lot of tabs at the bottom that can be confusing to navigate. The default start is to brick your phone. I don’t find this helpful or useful. I think it’s an exaggeration to expect people to brick their phone. I tried to set up some automations for when to limit my screen time. None of them would stay. I had multiple instances of automations I set up disappearing or reverting back to the default. Super annoying! I decided to add the widget to my Home Screen but it would never update. It would always stay at 99 even if it was something much lower. I tried restarting the app but that didn’t help. There were multiple times where the app would say it could not connect to the apps and I needed to refresh things. I really was hoping this could be useful. But with the scammy feeling with the discount, the automations not working or resetting, the broken widget, and the clunky interface, it’s not good.

3. 3/5Good App but with blocking it is all or nothing

   I really like this app. It is effective in reducing screen time and is enjoyable to use. However, there are a couple of flaws and, for me at least, they are significant enough that I plan to stop using the app even though I paid for it! Here are the two flaws to be aware of: 1) Block Limit is 50 apps. You can use Categories to block several apps at once and reduce the app count (categories count as 1 app). But the odd categorization of apps makes blocking whole categories challenging. 2) List of blocked apps is all or nothing! You are only permitted to create a single group of apps to block. You can setup different blocking periods (eg times of day) but the app only allows you to create a 1 “mix” of blocked apps. There is no variability to block a group of apps in the morning and a different group of apps in the evening or to block individual apps. Those are just killers for me. I appreciate the idea and attitude of going all-in when you are “desperate” to reduce screen time and nothing else has worked. Brainrot is effective in that manner. However - if you need even just a little flexibility to make adjustments then it isn’t likely to be the right product for you.

4. 5/5REVIEW FOR DEVELOPERS

   The idea of this app is great, I needed something like this and I was trying to create an app to reduce my screen time as well. But there is something very annoying. Why do I have to pay before even using the app? Idk whats in there yet, give us like a 3 day free trial at least. Now the way you guys set it up is smart for making money since it’s like you force us to pay you show a discount several times and it’s cheap. But at the same time, if the app actually helps, you guys are providing great value so you will get your money anyways since everyone is suffering from this problem. A lot of people might delete the app if they feel like you’re forcing them to pay and they have to pay to use it without even knowing what the app literally does. Idk how you guys as a team decided to go with that option lol. I’m still giving a 5 start review though since screen time is literally rotting people’s brains and you guys are providing a solution.

5. 5/5Amazing app

   I have to say this apple is amazing but when I wanted you at the start, I kept staying on like the same thing like if I were to get like all of like the stuff on it I don’t know how to explain it very well and I just like did not really like it so I went and deleted the app and I downloaded it again and I’m gonna see if that works if it doesn’t then I don’t know but it was. This is like a pretty good app and I’m kinda happy that you designed it and I think if it does work this time then it will be the best and it will actually work and it will help me a lot because starting in middle school I’m going into sixth grade and I really don’t wanna be that attached to my phone and so yeah, thank you guys so much for making this up. It will help me so much. But I have an amazing day! -Grace
