Best app ever

I have tried so many screen time app and this one by farrrr and it’s free. I have been so much more productive and happier. You can customize what hours of the day you want certain apps off of and it I love the methods to keep you off the app I think it’s so funny and smart. Literally recommending this to everyone I know. 100% try it out!!!!

Awesome

Cut my screen time in half and it was so much better than the last one I had

Does what I need it to do !

Gives me time to think twice and not mindlessly scroll my life away.

Me

It’s incredibly helpful when it comes to reducing our daily screentime

This is so funny and amazing!

ITS FREE AND YOU HAVE TO TRY GOBLIN MODE COME ON!

Often does not work

When the app works it's fantastic but so often it does not block at the correct times or remains blocked at incorrect times.

Worth it

The exact app I was looking for. Creates resistance when opening a blocked app and has a timer when you open the app to prevent doomscrolling. And it’s free.

Blocking

I put a blockiing after 6 Sonja don't doom scroll all night but after a while it stopped blocking me. Idk why. When I go into the app if says its blocked but when I click on an app it isint blocked.

THIS IS SO GOOD

this app is so good, it blocks you out and makes you wait if your trying to doomscroll so good

cute funny and effective!!

i downloaded it from positive reviews and the app really did improve to decrease my screentime. goblin mode is so funny especially seeing a picture of my crying face every time i open tiktok haha.

edit after a week: i have found a loophole where after you watch an ad for a 10 minute screentime, the limit does not end unless you click on the app again. an update where shutting the app off after 10 minutes ends would be great.

Great app

Really helps you stay in Check and if you slip up goblin mode can roast you and make you think about your decisions

Good app

Good but these adds take the piss mate

AMAZING

this is helping me to stop scrolling calm down, and study,also do more activities!🫶

App Controversy and Irony

I find it ironic that an app, mainly created to prevent doomscrolling, allows ads from TikTok. If this app really cared about helping people's phones addiction, it would not put ads in-between the unlock time, instead simply just a countdown. These admins are just money hungry. This is my only problem the rest of the apps's features work great.

Worked for a while then it just broke randomly

Reinstalled and it works now so

The best app I’ve used

This is the best app I’ve used so far. It really helped reduce my screen time. Thank you for making it free

Not locking

Hasn’t been locking after time is up I have to lock it myself

My streak keeps breaking for no reason

It’s a good app and it’s working but for some reason my streak will just randomly break? I’m not sure why. Other than that really good nice job.

Horrible

the custom schedule doesn’t unlock when it’s supposed to. Annoying, time-wasting design

Best blocker app

Best blocker app for reducing screen time
