Almost perfect!
I absolutely adore rereading classics, so much so that they’ve become one of my favorite ways to spend those little 5 minute pockets of free time throughout the day. Social media, on the other hand, isn’t really my thing, but when there’s 'nothing to do' and I have a few minutes to kill, it’s ridiculously easy to instinctively open one of those pesky apps. Which is exactly why this app is perfect for me!
I actually discovered Another Page through a Reddit forum that popped up when I was searching for classical libraries and then promptly eagerly waited for the iOS release. One of the things I appreciate most is the commitment to privacy. It feels like so many apps collect an unnecessary amount of data nowadays, so finding one that doesn’t collect your data and doesn’t even require an email address to use is genuinely refreshing. I’ve always found mandatory sign-ups to be such an unnecessary barrier, and they often discourage me from trying an app altogether. AND THEN NO ADS?! Absolute heaven.
My only critiques are that I wish we could block more than three apps. I have more than three that I could probably stand to use a little less, so having to choose between my “lesser evils” can be difficult. I’ve also noticed that the unblock timer seems to drain my battery a little, although I’m not sure whether that’s something within your control or simply an iOS limitation. Overall, though, I absolutely love this concept and execution!

Hello! I'm glad you are finding the app useful, and thank you for such a positive review! You can block more than three apps with premium.
A wonderful app for the road
Surprisingly, this week I noticed that the app actually gave me a love for reading. Thank you for developing it.
Love!
Very easy to use especially importing books. The pages also look very clean and nice to read. I also like that there are already books included.
Great able to keep focus on reading
Love the UI and has help me with reading more!
Got Me Reading
I really enjoy this app, it even got me reading like I should. I started 5 days ago, and have finished 2 books, hardly touched my locked apps. The ONLY thing keeping it from 5 stars, is the app not tracking you’re reading, and using it to unlock app(s) unless you first click on a locked app, and go through the steps to start the unlock process. Other than that, I love this app.

Excellent!
This is such an excellent app with so much to offer. I see myself spending hours using it. Thank you very much.
Absolutely brilliant
This is a game changer. It’s going to force me to read the classics. I love the concept and the implementation. Thank you!
Nice app
The design is clean, simple, and refreshing.
Versatile app
Love this app and it’s got a vast number of books to read. It’s really intuitive and very impressive! Thanks for developing the app.
Great app, even just for reading alone
I’m loving the app. Now my kids HAVE to read before moving on to playing their little games. And I myself is just using the app for reading.
Love it!!
This app is clean and versatile. The interface is simple yet effective. I initially installed the app just for the thrill of it, but now I’m using it on a regular basis. There are also so many books already integrated within the app! Try it out for yourself
Nice!
Another Page is one of the most creative productivity apps I've used. Instead of simply blocking distracting apps, it encourages me to build a better habit by reading before I scroll.
The setup is simple. I chose which apps to block, picked a classic book, and every time I opened Instagram or YouTube, I read a few pages before getting access. It remembers where | left off, so reading feels natural instead of forced.

Well developed app
The app is clean and minimal. And it has lots of classics plus you get to import your own books. What a great app!
Very good solution to keeping reading goals
I’ve only been using the app for a few days so far but am already seeing a great improvement in mindlessly doom scrolling or spending hours in a game. It really helps remind you to sit back and take a break once in a while, while also helping enforce good reading habits (which I am admittedly fairly bad at). I’m consistently working through a book throughout my day, rather than opening Reddit/Facebook anytime I get a lapse in things to do or bored. This will definitely be a great help in keeping up with reading goals or working through an ever-growing TBR
App suggestion: add an option to swap between reading or writing, which a personalized word count goal in place of pages (coming from a writer with a penchant for procrastination via staring at Reddit)

What a great idea!
If you’re serious about using Screen Time and also want to read more, this app works flawlessly. It even checks to see if you’re thing to claim reading too quickly. It will definitely help you read more.
