Perfect for limiting screen time and preventing distractions

Helps me so much, stops me getting distracted by social media whilst trying to work from my phone.

Perfect

Since I started using it I spend so much less time on social media and more time reading books! Yey! 👍🤗👍

Suggestion

Should add a short form content blocking like on Android

A really good app

The basic feature is free and it already helps me get away from my phone.

No more doom scrolling

Has helped me massively to not loose hours through the day when I was taking pacing breaks. Originally I would think oh I’ll just sit down and check socials, then carry on. But an hour would pass instead of 5 mins! Love that I can custom the timer to shut me out based on the time I want to be on there. And as a bonus I have also been more mentally productive too. So don’t delay get the app today to stop doom scrolling.

Useful

Saves up so much time from not using apps unnecessarily

Already changing habits!

This has got to be the most cost efficient, realistic way to curb my social media use. It really makes me stop and ask myself how important it is to be sucked in. And I love it so far.

TROP BIEN

Trop bien

La migliore

Migliore app in assoluto per evitare distrazioni, l’ho scaricata su tutti i miei dispositivi e vivo almeno 3 ore in più della mia vita ogni giorno

Maitriser son temps passée sur les RS

J’utilise cette application depuis 2 mois. J’adore son utilisation. Elle me permet de prendre conscience de l’utilisation de mon temps sur mes réseaux sociaux. Top

Good

Great app, great idea, some bugs to fix but nothing which would make it unusable

Great app

Really helps me to manage how much time I spend on social media and games, quite an intentional app. I think it does need some tweaking here and there: when I open an app sometimes it doesn’t let me in, even if I have waited the allocated time and I still have time left on it. For the most part a great creation.

Great app but i found a bug

I wanted to try the "journal" feature, but when the timer reaches 60 and I click on "journal," the timer is up, and I can use the app.

Poco da migliorare

App abbastanza comoda, perfetta se vuoi limitare l‘utilizzo delle app

Не понятно как использовать

Сообщение “you have reached your daily limit” появляется даже если я еще не заходил в приложение сегодня

Good but lack most important feature

Ascent is a decent app. However it lack a feature implemented by its competitors (ClearSpace for instance). In fact in Ascent you can’t edit block time duration.
Unconsciously most brain will create an habit to choose 50 minutes (more or less) and the blocker will be inefficient.

Please add the opportunity to choose time block duration by the user.

Moreover adding reminders notifications that the time will be over soon is a nice feature.

Can’t wait to see those features implemented. Thanks you in advance

Free and effective

Lovin’ it, thanks !!

useful but buggy

very useful app, i love the pause screen, the fact u can set intentions and chose how much time you are allowed on each app. i have however had issues with the app thinking i’ve set time limits on apps (i haven’t) and then locking me out of them as i’ve reached said “time limits”, meaning i normally have to turn all features off for that app so i can access it. also has a bug where if you select how much time u want to use an app for, it will say it’s unlocked but when you go to the app it is still locked, meaning you are stuck in a loop unless you shut down both apps. will continue to use regardless as i hope these bugs will be fixed in future :)
