I’ve been using this app for a few weeks and its been really helpful at minimizing my screen time and refocusing me on what I intended to do when I picked up my phone. It’s also made my phone less interesting to look at, so I’m forced to find something to do with my hands like crochet or knit.
I also had an issue with the app and Michael Tigas was prompt in helping me and following up about whether my issue had been alleviated.
Thanks for developing this!

Appreciate the super kind review, thank you! 😀
I'm glad to hear Dumb Phone has been super effective for you during the past month, and that it's done a great job at making your phone way more boring to use.
And it's absolutely my pleasure to help out when you reached out to me. Hope that you continue to enjoy having a dumber phone, cheers!!As everyone else has mentioned i would love this app but unfortunately the little icon circle on the widget just bugs me and i cant justify it. The competitor “Blank” has a very similar concept but this app is better but the “Blank” app shows a label for the widgets which is why i am on Blank now. When it’s fixed, i’d gladly come back to Dumb Phone.

I'm working on fixing this currently, but in the meantime there is a way to hide them. If you have a spare moment, reach out via the Settings screen → Contact Us form i'll get back to you with some steps.
Thanks again!I really like the idea behind this app! I’m not sure I will use it 100% of the time but I’d like to give it a shot. Setup was relatively easy if you follow along with the videos. One small thing that another person mentioned - for some reason the widgets have a little • under them (or similar symbol). If there’s a way to hide that, it would make the Home Screen look cleaner. I am on iOS 17.5.1. Thanks!

Thank you for the kind review! Really appreciate it, and it's great to hear you're enjoying using Dumb Phone! 🫡So far it has been everything I’ve wanted it to be, though for some apps it always has to redirect through the shortcuts app and I’m not sure why. I’m also not sure how to make the ° go away under the widgets, would be great if both those things weren’t there

Thank you for the kind review, appreciate it! 🙏
Awesome to hear you're loving the app already! Some system apps require being launched through Shortcuts due to iOS limitations unfortunately. I wish this could be made more simple, and I hope the Shortcuts route can be avoided in future.
Feedback noted about the symbol too - working on it! :)
