Waste of time and money

I downloaded this but the app could not intuitively show or lead me to how it works or what it does. Couldn’t get it set up. Also, it promised a free trial but the only option was to pay.

Too complicated.

Couldn’t make it work. Gave up

So hard to set up!

I was desperate for something to help with the siren call of my phone. I found this on the App Store and just purchased a month without a free trial first because none was offered. It’s so complicated to set it all up. I gave up the first night, the second day I was following all the directions, and there were a lot. I felt like it was just helping you set it up with settings on your phone. Why does it need a screenshot of your blank gray screen? It didn’t work at all though. Now I’m out $8 with absolutely nothing to show for it.

Not as simple as it’s advertised

Setup is 90% on you. Sticking to it is also on you.

The app blocking is great. I think there are cheaper options out there that don’t float off celebrity endorsement deals.

The screen blanking and Home Screen manipulation is all on you to configure. The app shortcuts don’t work. Widgets are clunky.

Paid for life so I’m doing what I can to make use of it.

It’s not as simple or good looking as the ads made it appear.

Add the grayscale widget to your shortcuts, make a focus mode that only shows essential apps, save your money and find free guides on YouTube for cheaper alternatives

Money Back Guarantee is a Lie

I was very intrigued by this app, and I loved the fact that they offered a lifetime tier. Based on their reviews and overall look and feel of the App Store screenshots I figured it was a safe bet. It also says “100% money back guarantee” so it seemed like a low risk move to jump the gun and purchase the lifetime pass. I was wrong. The launcher always had the Liquid Glass outline around the widget, no matter how many combinations of setting I tried. I followed the guide to a T and nothing. Still there. After this frustrating experience I decided to get a refund only to be denied twice and being told the decision was final. I figured I would try to use it again since I’m stuck with it now, so I reinstalled it but it doesn’t recognize the fact that I purchased the lifetime pass and prompts me to subscribe again. Absolutely unreal.
