Clunky and difficult to set up
DO NOT x out of those tips/add sections, or you will not be able to get them back! Had to delete and reinstall the app. Also not very intuitive how to reorganize and edit the list of apps. You gotta tap on a blank space within the widget inside of the app, without accidentally hitting one of the names/shortcuts because that will launch the app. What’s up with the lowercase app names? Without giving us control over formatting?? You should respect the name given and allow people to decide for themselves how they’d like the formatting done. And what the heck with the lame degree symbols/small o letters at the top and bottom of the widget on the home screen? How is that minimal? Super distracting. If you want me to pay for this, you’re going to have to improve all of these things, as I’m deleting this for now. it’s the second best one of the ones I’ve tried (2 of the 4 were total garbage). The one I’m going with allows for a LOT of formatting/tweaking/customization of the app titles, AND how many display in each widget pane. I hope you improve this app and make it better than the other one! For now, I’ll have to stick with what looks and works best.iPhone User One
Confusing
I guess I have arrived at the point that I am not technically advanced enough to set up a dumb phone. Essentially this app steps you through how to set up a dumb phone. Unfortunately the directions only have screen shots and it is unclear what to do. I gave up after an hour. Too bad. Good idea. Bad execution.Jst9876
Great solution - reminds me of Light Phone II
I used the Light Phone II for 6 months. I really enjoyed the experience, but eventually switched back because I needed the convenience of my phone camera to take pictures at an event… and I never switched back. This “Dumb Phone” app reminds me of the look and feel of that home screen, I absolutely love it! I feel like I am getting the best of both worlds. It’s especially nice to continue using iMessage: it was tough becoming a green bubble for my friends and family when I was using the Light Phone. Great app. Use the trouble shooting guides if you have any issue, it is documented very well!Smart guy, dumb phone
