Wellspent is so helpful

Wellspent has helped me spend so much less time on social media😊

Response from developer

High five to reclaiming time from socials - so happy to read Wellspent is enabling you to do that! 🙏🏽 Best from Berlin - Christina

When it works…

Super helpful…when it works. Which is virtually never these days. Paid for PRO, maybe had a week or two where it worked great, now nothing for weeks. Restarted and all that. iOS 17 and all of that. I can see in the app there are troubleshoot FAQs even about iOS 17 but the app doesn’t even work enough to load them and instead throws an error 😩 what a mess. How do I get a refund??? Or at bare minimum a working app!

CAN’T REMOVE FROM IPHONE

I found a different app and this app can’t be removed from my iPhone, it only has the option to remove it from my homescreen. I also can’t clear data in the app and when I hover on it in the search screen it only allows me to share it! This app does not make me feel like my information is secure at all. I want it removed please.

Dear sarawileyxo, this does indeed sound very odd and more like a bug on the side of the iPhone. Please reach out to our customer care team via the Wellspent app by going to Profile > Get support and we'll get this resolved together asap. 💪 Best from Berlin - Christina

App did not initially work, after update works well.

Initially, the App did not work at all which was frustrating. After an update, the app works as advertised. The prompts are helpful for cutting down screen time and have started to change the way I think about spending time on certain apps. The variety of prompts are very helpful.

Response from developer

Hey Tonya, I'm sorry to read that Wellspent does not work for you. Please reach out to customer support and we'll make sure Wellspent tracks your time and delivers prompts smoothly. 💪 Best, Christina

Brilliant 🤩

This app has made me so much more aware of how I spend my time. I have cut my social media time down by half and I am spending more time doing things I love. I love the way it interrupts you with prompts to do something better with your time. I highly recommend!

Response from developer

Hey Worry Freedom, celebrating your screen time reduction and reclaiming time for the things you love doing! 🥳 Honored to serve you on this mission! Best from Berlin - Christina

I love this app!

Just a few days use and this app has already helped me so much. Customer service is great, I got a personal helpful response when I messaged about some glitching.

Response from developer

Hey Megamuphen, so happy to read that Wellspent helped you already within just a few days. 🧡 Just forwarded the feedback to the customer care team - so appreciated! This fuels our work everyday. Best from Berlin - Christina

It works

It’s really working for me. The prompts make me stop and consider and more often than not I’m closing the social media app instead of scrolling

Response from developer

Hey El26591, amazing to read how Wellspent helps you reconsider scrolling and getting out of the doom scroll! 🎉 Honored to support you on this mission! Christina

Great concept poor execution

Always crashing. Paid for the subscription but and it worked for like two weeks. Now I can’t even open the app

Response from developer

Hey Chips1313, thanks for bringing this into our awareness. We had issues with devices still running on iOS 16.0, which are resolved by now. Please update to the latest Wellspent version to access the app again. 🙂 Best, Christina

Known bug with essential “budget” feature

I’ve been using Wellspent for a few weeks. At first, it seemed good. But soon I noticed chosen apps would be completely restricted, even though there is time remaining in my chosen daily budget.

When I went to FAQ section within the app with this question, Wellspent replied it’s a known issue. Incredulously, they suggest changing the phone’s date in phone setting to reset budget in Wellspent—which creates a nightmare scenario of all phone apps & features.

I’m now deinstalling, as Wellspent’s bug is getting in the way of my actually being productive on my phone.

Response from developer

Hey BFBoston, thanks for sharing your feedback. We do indeed suggest a change of dates as quick fix - but to another problem (if budget does not reset at night). However, based on your experience after changing the date, we took it out. Thanks for bringing the risks with doing this quick fix into our awareness. 🙏🏽 We're working with highest priority on fixing the underlying root cause of the issue.  If your apps happen to be restricted, you can quick fix this via revoking screen time access for a moment. 💪 I hope we can win you back as a Wellspent user. Best - Christina

It is a great app I just wish that there wasn't any of that premium stuff
