  • Did not work correctly. Unable to use.

    I have iPhone 15. It would not allow any use of selected app. I had not set up the statement that came up when I tried to open it and this apparently is necessary for use. It had customized messages for fee and free messages. I tried the free messages but the word free was grayed out did not work. Thankfully I did not have deep focus and was able to delete the app. Seems like well designed app but did not work.

    Hi care2191, sorry for the inconvenience you experienced here๐Ÿ˜ญ Turning App is for the severe smartphone addiction users or people having difficulty with attention. When you register certain distracting apps in the Turning, the apps will be automatically shielded and locked. But when you try to open those distracting apps, you have to pass the conscious mission. If you press the grayed out sentences and re-write the free quotes(gray color) correctly, you can choose how much you will use the app. Sorry for not giving proper instructions, and we will do better in the next update. Please try again to use our service with the new update. If you need any more support or have any suggestions, please feel free to contact us via cs@hustlers.co.kr. Thank You, Team Turning.

  • Amazing App!

    This is such a cute app that Iโ€™ve found to be extremely useful! The features of the app are quite creative and in my short time of using this app, my screen time has dropped dramatically. Itโ€™s especially motivating to see the progress of friends and I love that I can see my activity and monitor the time I spent on each app! Although this is my first screen management app, I love the functionality which, iโ€™m so happy, is free! If thereโ€™s one thing I would like, I would enjoy the app more if I could import or make a personal folder of missions! (Being a student, I find that it may be more efficient if I guilt trip myself into being active). Also, it would be amazing if we could personalize the avatars!

    Overall, I am extremely satisfied with this app!

    Hi Sydneyspano! Glad to hear the honest and kind review here, and I've happily shared this review with all the team members๐Ÿ™Œ For your information, you can add the customizing mission sentence that 'you want to add' at the [Mypage] -> [Mission] within the Turning App so that you can guilt trip yourself. Besides, a lot of characters will be soon released. Thank you for your sincere feedback, and we are very open to listen to the users. If you have any other feedback or suggestions, please feel free to tell us. Thank you so much and hope you to have a productive day with Turning. Thanx๐Ÿค—

    Developer Response

    Dear ea2187, happy to hear your nice review here๐Ÿ˜ Many people at first get curious whether this app really can reduce their screentime or not, but after using the Turning App for more than 2 weeks, they all have the same reaction like you๐Ÿคฃ We are now working on the harder and more stricter mode 'Deep Focus Mode' and it will be launched in April. Please keep using Turning App and give us more feedbacks. We are open to listen to your honest voice๐Ÿค— Thank You! Team Turning.
  • Using this app, my cell phone usage has decreased by 70 percent!

    First of all, thank you so much for creating this app!

    Turning has improved my grades and improved my usual concentration..!

    I used to watch a lot of YouTube and Instagram, so I couldn't concentrate on my studies and usually lose concentration, but this app has eliminated my habit of using apps unconsciously.

    I think my diary and this app help me the most with productivity in my daily life!

    Developer Response

    Hi J3ssua! Thank you for the nice testimonial here all the way from United States.

Thank you a lot and enjoy your productive life with Turning. Team Turning.
  • Apps that get me up and moving๐Ÿง

    This is exactly the type of app I've been looking for. I don't like overbearing smartphone addiction apps because they're too intrusive and I never use them when I need to, but this app is uniquely annoying with its different missions. At first I didn't think it would work, but after two weeks of using it, I've reduced my screen time by 70%! I'm excited to see a paid model coming soon!

    Developer Response

    Hi there ์—ฌ๋ช…์˜์‚ด์ธ๋งˆ, glad to hear that you've experienced amazing detox with the Turning App recently! Paid model is so called 'Deep Focus Mode' in the Turning App, and it will be released at the early April :) We will add more intelligent and creative ways to help you get out of binge-scrolling, so plz keep an eye on our service's new updates. Thanx! Team Turning.
  • The best screen time app I've ever seen before

    I've tried out tons of screen time apps before, but this one really stands out. Unlike others where I had to manually ban myself, this app blocks distractions right off the bat once you sign up.๐Ÿ’ฅ Plus, it's so motivating - it actually encourages me to stay off my phone, so I find myself naturally avoiding it. And the best part? You can set time limits, which keeps me from mindlessly scrolling for hours. I used to rack up a whopping 8 hours of screen time daily, but thanks to this app, I've slashed it down to just 2 hours! And the fact that all these awesome features are free? Huge shoutout to the developers.

    Developer Response

    Dear doomyboomy:), thanx a lot for your shoutout all the way from US. We've done tons of experiments to nudge human behavior and thus able to change their life in the end. After we found out that the stimulating contents within the social media and entertainment apps can actually hurt one's brain function, we've decided to heal the users brain and help them regain the healthier life. It's great to hear that you successfully reduced the screen time, but what's more important is that you will retrieve your focus time and attention control in soon. Thank you again for your nice review here, and hope you to get more healthier life. We'll help you! Thanks, Team Turning.
  • 2 weeks after I uninstalled I returned to old habits.

    Stopped me from subconsciously opening apps and subsequently lowered my screen time and improved my daily life.
