This app is almost exactly what I have needed on my quest to reduce my screen time. So far, I’ve seen some decent results in helping lower my iPhone screen time. A few features would push me to a 5 star rating:
- Widgets for Lock screen/home screen to let me know my screen time so-far before I open my phone, or when I enter my Home Screen
- Ability to log “why” I tried opening an app when my time went over, so I could go back and complete the task after time has been blocked
- Timers for one-off “blackout” downtime sessions with no app access for times such as studying
This has all the signs of a great screen time app and has potential to be the best. All have a few features lacking - but this has the strongest “base” of any one of these apps I have used. Thanks Roots team for the hard work and keep it up!Developer Response
Hi woahwilly! Thank you so much for the words of encouragement and the very applicable feedback. This thoughtful review means more than you know. We are glad to hear you have seen decent results with the current version, and are optimistic about the future of the app. Your three points of feedback are very good. We are already working on two of these three and you should see the updates in the app in the next few weeks. Logging your "why" is also a really good idea and we are going to explore this in more detail in the coming weeks too. Please feel free to reach out with any additional feedback and we look forward to hearing what you think of the updates and pushing you to a 5 star rating :) All the best! - The Roots TeamBetter than native iOS screen time, screen time way down!
I read an article that introduced me to this app. I was already using screen time tools on my iPhone. This one has a much more intuitive and use friendly interface. you answer some questions first about what you will do instead of downtime and it serves as a nice reminder that there’s things in my life that are much more important than scrolling or playing games or checking email.Developer Response
