Easy and effective

Très efficace dès la première utilisation !
AAlixdantras

Amazing

Excited to get my life back
SShainamotherof6!

It said it will remind before trial period ends. It didn’t.

When I installed the app, I accepted 7 day trial period because it said it will remind me before it ends. It didn’t notify me. I had allowed notifications.

Plus qu’utile ✨

Je suis à mon quatrième jour d’utilisation, mon temps d’écran, a drastiquement baissé et si j’ai un conseil à donner c’est jouer le jeu.
C’est simple, facile à mettre en place et d’utilité publique. ❤️‍🔥

forcing me to sign up for a free trial

I do not want a free trial and there is no ‘x’ nor ‘skip’ button to access the free version of the app

Make sure to cancel after free trial

Was a day late and got charged for the year. They wouldn’t issue me a refund.

Way less time wasted

I love the ease of using this app and I’m excited to expand the restrictions to more apps!

Worth it. Helps keep track of your life’s time.

I accidentally bought the long subscription, but it’s been AMAZING. The 7(?) day trial actually helped and so I considered it.

The timer after I open the app kept me aware of how long I was on the app for. 10mins for 4 opens a day gave me time to reply to friends but helped me avoid doomscrolling.

Also really limits your usage during downtime.

Malhonnête

Obligés de souscrire pour essayer, vous envoient soit-disant une notification pour vous faire penser à annuler l’abonnement si vous n’aimez pas l’application… les notifications ne sont bien évidemment pas envoyées et vous vous retrouvez avec 70€ déduits de votre compte sans sommation. Bien sûr impossible de joindre un quelconque dégivrage client pour une réclamation. Mail envoyé, pas de réponse…

Reasonable price, great app

Awesomeness

This app is literally soooo good.
TTbitabgacha

This is a great start!!

This is a great start to learning how to be present and get off social media!!

Be careful of charges

This app works fine and is helpful. However, I did not get the notifications of my free trial ending that they said I would get. Also, once my free trial ended I was not charged the few dollars a month that was advertised. Instead, I was charged a full annual subscription of $64.99. They said they would be unable to refund me and told me to go to Apple, who was also unable to refund me.

Too expensive.

Too easy to bypass the staying off it. Sometimes I need to be forced to but still motivational and has kept me off it

Amazing Customer Service

I was charged after a free trial by Apple and while they would not help me in getting a refund, Mary with customer service was so helpful in sorting it out even though refunds are usually done by Apple. She was very kind and you can tell they care about their customers! (The app itself was great as well I just didn’t have a use for it at the moment)

Waste of money

It blocks the apps the same way you can do by managing your screen time, but you can still access the apps even if they’re blocked. Obviously you need your own self control, but I thought it would block the apps and not allow you to use them at all.
CPChris Parkey

Helpful!

Only a few days in but I can already see how this app is undoing some of the damage done to my brain by social media. The one thing that’s hard is not getting message notifications for apps. Overall I think it’s worth it

Great for Christians

If you’re young Christian and have trouble with doom scrolling this will help tremendously. It gamify everything a little bit too which is great!
