Botched update and no dev support

This app WAS my favorite, hands down beating the similar ‘Blank Spaces’ app. That is, until the latest update. The update changed the app to now function as a shortcuts ‘wrapper’, as well as breaking other small features like removing the ability to rename apps. What’s worse is that there has been no response from the developer, or subsequent update to fix these changes. I previously paid for a yearlong membership, but luckily, received a refund from Apple as this app is no longer functional. I’d recommend other users who previously paid for the in-app upgrade submit a refund request through Apple as well

Response from developer

Thanks a lot for your feedback! I can definitely understand your frustration, the old version used to work much better. It was not my decision to make the app work in a worse way. I have worked hard in the last couple of weeks to add a new workaround which makes the app a lot better, especially when used with custom apps. I would love to hear your feedback on this, you can find the new setting + tutorial in on point’s settings.

Can’t contact

App seems ok, paid for the upgrade however I can’t get more than 3 app links on the widget. Also the App icon shows a slick ‘S’ but the actual app is ‘Minimal Home Screen’ so not minimal at all.

Tried to find a help on the devs website but couldn’t. Bummer.

Given the circumstances it was a waste of $15

Works, but...

This works perfectly for me and has helped me reduce my screen time, the only reason I am giving this three stars is because you cannot rename the default apps, and there is a "." under the widget. PLEASE REPLACE THE DOT WITH AN INVISIBLE CHATACTER! Other than that though, no complaints, great app to minimize on screen time.

No thank you.

Can only make one widget before you have to pay. Useless.

Over an hour of my life I’ll never get back

I spent over an hour setting it up, paid for premium and then the developer released an upgrade that completely screwed up my set up and put me back to square 1.

All my widgets were empty and I couldn’t really use my phone until I went in a spent another hour fixing it.

It’s also pretty janky, and often launching an app just takes me to the Apple shortcuts app instead of the app I wanted.

Wish I could get my money back and feel a little scammed.

Fix

Love the app. But hate how the new update makes you open your apps through the app. It always starts a new window in safari and you can see the little dot at the top left of the screen when in a app. Disappointed when I paid $15 for this.

Great idea, poor execution

Just doesn’t work. No widgets and poor UI to set up apps

New update changed things

The new update made the app worse in my opinion updated UI is great but took key features away like renaming apps and now it shortcuts opens apps. Please fix this.

Add feature of directly opening apps

Would appreciate it if you could add back feature of directly opening apps. The wrap around is not smooth and I bet many people would appreciate it going back to the old way.
