Leave a Review Limit Screen Time・Taskfulness
Very effective app to increase mindful phone usage
This app, through using its automation in Shortcuts (super easy to set up), has SIGNIFICANTLY decreased my automatic, mindless screen time on my phone. I can’t recommend it enough! The number of times I want to open Facebook or Instagram but stop myself because I know of the intention-setting process I’ll need to go through with Actuflow to get into the app, have been many!Show lessconform-contrast

Thanks for your feedback! If you have any ideas for improvements contact us acture.app@gmail.comVery useful app
Creates a good barrier between me and easy-access social media apps/sites. Have been using for a week or so and have found it to be a very useful tool so far, screen time is right down.mwa1tt

Thanks for your review! That's awesome that it helps you! We would be thankful for sharing app.Works great!! (Some improvement ideas)
Thank you for making this app! When I get in the habit of using this app it really helps to use my phone with purpose. Knowing and writing down the purpose of using the phone also helps with noticing if you accidentally started mindlessly browsing as you’re not doing (or have completed) the task you wrote in the app. Long story short, great app.
I would love however if autocorrect for text worked when writing the purpose as for some reason it doesn’t.
Also if you try being really detailed in writing your purpose, if it’s really long, when you click create, the text doesn’t fit and the text box doesn’t extend down to be able to see your long reason. It just does ... (three dots) when it doesn’t fit.
I hope that made sense.
But thank you for the app!
Review Update 31/05/21 - I much preferred when there was a big start/ create button when writing your intention below the timer selection. Atm there is just a “save” button at the top right corner and somehow doesn’t feel like you are starting your task but rather writing a reminder for later or something rather than Starting your intention.
Otherwise still an amazing app! Thank you so much for your work!Show lessKozelko

Hi. Thanks for your feedback! I'm really glad that it worked for you. I took your suggestions in new version, so check Actuflow 2.0!Useful
Good app! However, I think the actual intention on the second page should be way bigger - maybe the same font as the words “Current Intention. ”
That would help make an impact. Thanks.Dr342696
Great for setting intentions
With Actuflow and Shortcuts, you can prompt the phone to ask you your intentions for certain apps. You can also set specific times this occurs, e.g. during work hours!
One change I’ll request has to do with the “check intention” shortcut for Actuflow. Currently, if the intention has expired, the “check intention” shortcut indicates that there is an active intention. Instead, I’d recommend that the shortcut has a checkbox to allow for expired intentions or have it indicate that an expired intention is not active. This way, I can better enforce if I want to use an app for, e.g., five minutes.Show lessOjaio4123

Thanks for using Actuflow! We will take into account your suggestion. If you have any other feedback, just drop us a line to acture.app@gmail.comChanged my life!
I used to always constantly, habitually go on social media and news sites all the time. They consume large chunks of my time since they’re addictive and I feel a compulsion to read everything. I tried deleting the apps and blocking websites, but eventually I’ll need to unblock them to check up on things. This app is a game-changer when set up with Shortcuts because it requires me to write my intention before using them, and set a time limit so I am reminded the amount of time I’m using up.
I have so many suggestions for improvements and I hope the app becomes better and super successful!Show lessterrythethunder

Wow! I really appreciate your detailed feedback! It’s awesome to see that it works for you. Write about suggestions to acture.app@gmail.com. I will keep making the app more engaging and I hope that the app may change the way how users use their phones completely.No option to lock
App mentions to lock phone. No option. All there is, is intention with a timer where you go in and say yes or no and a log of previous intentions.Phillll2839203

Hi. Thanks for your feedback. Due to iOS restrictions, it's not possible to lock your phone. Could you please contact me and share where there was a lock mention? I will update the app description to prevent misunderstanding. Thanks, BestDoes not work as promoted
Due to iOS limitation this app is not able to offer what the android counterpart does effectively making it a notepad. Please I would like a refundFrederick R.
Developer Response
Thanks for your feedback. Yes, you are right, the app is different on iOS than Android due to iOS limitations. I'm working on a workaround to make the app more useful. There will be widgets in iOS 14 on your home screen. I think that will be useful. You can refund app via App Store(https://www.apple.com/shop/help/returns_refund). Sorry for the inconvenience.Use your smartphone intentionally
Great and simple app to remind you to use your smartphone intentionally.LuizBazon

Thanks for your feedback. That's great that you liked it.Cool concept but useless implementation
It’s a great concept, but the fact that you have to remember to open the app before you lock your phone makes it completely useless for me.EmersonSm
Developer Response
Thanks for your feedback. It seems like disadvantage and I understand your concern about using it, because it's so easy to just not open app before lock. I'm planning to implement iOS 14 widget that will show you current intention and maybe it will be easier not to forget.
