Pain in the *ss!

I purchased this app to try it because I wanted to limit my Facebook and instagram time. That is all. I set it up to do that but instead, and no matter what I tried, it interrupted EVERY app I was trying to use and was really annoying. Trying to watch a YouTube video or read a news article or listening to music. I’m very frustrated and disappointed.

Glitchy App

Wanted to love this app. Great refocus techniques, and good overall but couldn’t stand the glitches. I’m a social media manager so when I press keep using: I really do need to keep using whatever social platform I’m on. The app would glitch and keep showing the same pop up continuously x 5.

Nice idea

The app has a good outline, but is buggy and lacks two basic customizations: 1) I don’t see a way to add a website to a budget’s list. 2) I couldn’t find a way to add a custom suggestion for what to do instead.

One specific bug I noticed today:
- Open the profile menu
- Close it by swiping down
- Now I can’t open the profile menu again, until I restart the app.

I hope this app continues to improve, but as it is now, I’m not sure it’s worth subscribing for.

Thieves and then deny it

I got charged for a a whole year when I only agreed and signed up for for a free trial.

I immediately reported it to them and the chat literally stated. They are not available until tomorrow on their virtual chart.

Not even a decent minimal bot to get process started.

So I then reported them to Apple and PayPal and they handled it.

But one of the co founders Christina, chats back and initial apologizes and while the payment was pending for a few days it eventually posted.
She then officially apologized and offered a free year then had to ignorant audacity to chat back, the $29.99 price that posted was $32 and change. Like she is completely oblivious to tax. So ridiculous and beyond disappointing to see how stupid these people can truly be.

This is customers and money you are dealing with. Handle your app and business correctly and ethically you dummies.

So shameful. And no, I do not want your free year. The time spent stressed then accused by you was the WORSE SPENT.

Hi MH$$1, We’re terribly sorry for all the inconvenience caused by our error in charging you for the annual subscription during your 7-day free trial. It was never our intention to make this difficult for you. As a small company based in Germany, we were indeed unaware that our US customers pay tax on top of the subscription (in Germany, the tax is included in the subscription price). This is an oversight on our part, and I’m sorry for the inconvenience. First things first: You will be refunded. Apple handles all payments, and you’ve already contacted them to proceed with the refund. The payment was triggered by an error in our system, which we’re investigating and will have fixed as soon as possible. Second, we would like to offer to donate the subscription price to a charity of your choice. We made a mistake, and we apologize. We’ve had a rocky start, and we totally understand if you don’t want to have anything to do with us. We hope our efforts to correct this mistake will maybe want you to reconsider your review. We completely understand if not. If you want to contact us, our email address is support@notlessbutbetter.com. All the best, Christina at Wellspent

I really love this app but…

I really love this app and what it’s supposed to do. But, I’m having a lot of problems and glitches. I got a new phone and thought it would just transfer everything over, it didn’t. There’s no way to login and I almost signed up for the subscription twice. I started a second free trial, then promptly cancelled when I realized I had already paid. I need to be able to restore my purchase because I really need to use this app. HELP!

This app is a game changer for everyone struggling with mindless scrolling!     

I've struggled with procrastination and phone addiction for years, but Wellspent has helped me break the cycle. Highly recommended to try!        

Can’t use

I installed and it won’t even get past the “allow access to screen time” start window. I hit “allow access” and then it tells me I’m sorry you can’t use this without access to screen time. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling, turning phone off and back on, changing screen time settings. Too bad.

Grateful!

This app is so smart and subtle, it gives you that little nudge to snap you back into the present moment. You can enjoy social media but dont get stuck in it. I highly recommend it, it’s a no brainer.

Wow, just wow - I'm finally able to put my phone down! ‌  ‍     

I can't believe how much of a difference Wellspent has made in my life. Before, I would spend hours mindlessly scrolling through Instagram, but now I'm able to put my phone down and focus on the present moment. The messages are so well-crafted and engaging that I don't even feel like I'm missing out on anything. Thank you, Wellspent team, for creating such an amazing app!     ‌

Great reminders to stop scrolling and live life instead ‍​   ​

I really enjoy the interval reminders to close out an app, they remind me to stop scrolling and live life. I started spending more time reading and going outside again since using this app.       ‌
