5/5Favorite App
I’ve been using this app for several months now and absolutely love it. The UI is great. I was looking for an app to help me actually help get off being on the phone so much, and that’s happened. The little nudges are great and not annoying. I had been wanting a way to track my time on different projects, so that’s an added bonus. Right after a break, it’ll show that time as on phone usage, but it does correct it after a little while, so a bit of patience is needed. My only request to enhance the app is a space to make a personal note after a session, that way I could mark what I spent the time doing, like which book I was reading for example, or what type of meditation I was doing, since I don’t like to have too many major categories, or which business project I was working on. And of course, a running list of those notes with the time log under each category. It would be a wonderful enhancement and really take this app over the top!

5/5super nice
This app offers excellent value with its affordable lifetime subscription and delivers on its promise to help users manage screen time effectively. Features like app blocking during specific periods and precise usage tracking have made a noticeable impact on productivity and mindfulness. It's especially useful for those looking to reduce phone dependency without external controls. However, the app's limitations in customization—such as the inability to set unconventional bedtime goals—make it less suitable for users with non-standard schedules. Additionally, counting passive activities like FaceTime as screen time affects the accuracy of usage reports. Multi-device integration would also enhance its functionality. Overall, the app has great potential and is a solid choice for anyone looking to build healthier phone habits, but addressing these issues would make it even better.

2/5Needs to be investigated
App was working as advertised but some immediate things I noticed were: It wasn’t simple to turn off anything that you turned on. Notifications or disabling the restriction on an app. Even after location was accessed (which is not needed for this apps purposes) it kept asking for more. I turned it off because I got worried but it kept bugging me. Eventually I deleted the app because it wasn’t that helpful in decreasing my screen time. A few hours after I did that some of my apps started completely blocking me from accessing them saying that “app is restricted”. I got extremely confused and turned off screen time and on airplane mode but nothing was turning it off. Then I went to iCloud and looked everywhere to find restrictions, until I finally found something under Screen Time. There was a setting that allowed the app to “restrict this iPhone”. AFTER I DELETED THE APP. How is this app allowed to access and even control your phone after you supposedly “deleted this app and all of its data”? Please make this app more restricted and, users, don't allow this app all permissions. It’s kind of shady.

5/5Great app, small question of wake up time
This app has been great for managing my screen time, and i’m glad that it blocks social media instead of the apple built in version of “15 more minutes?” that keeps me clicking for more time My only trouble is i can’t seem to figure out a way to tell the app that my work schedule has me going in at 3:30am, and is instead convinced i’m a night owl that can’t stop breaking a nightly phone opening habit. Is there any way to tell the app a bed time AND a wake up time? i shut sleep mode off like suggested but still nothing.

3/5Still crash when opening
Since almost a year before, the app will crash when I open it. Thought all these update, tried many of versions, still not fix the issue. Maybe I just not allowed to use it, by some reason. Tried to email them for support at few months ago, the response was “they also don’t know how to fix it”. If it caused by iCloud, I think maybe they could send me a TestFlight version with iCloud sync function disable? And try to flush my old datas (I said that I’m accept to drop old datas in the email)? But, the problem is, after all these time, seems their developer doesn’t interested to fix this anymore. Ehhh, just because I’m the just one user? not that important to them. Even I install it and bought it from very beginning after this app released. Whatever, that’s what I want to say. Bit of sad.
