Have to Pay

No point in downloading the app it makes you pay for a subscription. I’m getting exhausted with every app these days needing a subscription.

Tricked

I so badly wanted to believe the description of this app. But it’s just a trick. It just moves all of your time killing apps back one page and the app just gives you instructions on how to create a new less busy page full of text that has no icons and is black. Big deal. I’ve thrown that money away and I’m disgusted I got tricked.

“free” to download, pay to use

I do not mind an app being upfront about its cost, but when it hides its core functionality behind an in-app paywall, that is deceptive in my view. The app charges a monthly/yearly subscription fee or a one-time “lifetime” purchase (currently ~$30). I can’t even test the app to see how it works. It might be worth $30, but I’d rather have that info before downloading it in the first place.

Not a dumb phone

It makes your phone minimal looking but doesn’t make it an actual dumb phone. Not exactly a waste of money but not what actually makes a dumb phone.

Not simple

It was not simple to use and I said forget it.

Will not refund purchase!!

I purchased the license and it said on the screen 100% money back guarantee.
But, after 2 days I decide I am not satisfied and request a refund. The have not replied after several emails. Their support page says to try the refund through Apple (I did, it was declined), and then the support page says to send in a screenshot of the purchase and the decline from Apple, I did that. No response!!

This company sucks!!! They lie and they don’t respond.

No trial

I have to pay £7.99 just to enter the app.

trash gimmick

preview photos are not what the real app is like.

Free please

It good I tried it but I accidentally deleted it and I don't want to pay for a subscription please make it free

Not much help for the unemployed or disabled

Downloaded this based on reviews stating it had all the good parts of other apps but actually free, no paywall. I was super excited. Within seconds of downloading, I’m met with a paywall. I guess I’ll keep looking for an app that offers SOMETHING for people that have nothing but time on their hands due to unemployment, disability, etc - and are looking for distance and relief from the miserable coping mechanisms contained within these phones. Apps like this would help maintain some pride for those that don’t want to look like they’re using huge, obvious accessibility features on their phones, and would love something discreet and simple like this. Offering absolutely no range of free option in 2026 is honestly insane and kind of gross.

No free trial

Should at least provide a one week trial

Good Idea, Greedy corpo pig execution.

You’re going to charge monthly to use a minimalist phone setup? 30 dollars forever, if you’ve recently been lobotomized.

Broken!

Unlocking for x period of time is not accurate. Intend to unlock for 20 mins and the app locks back up after 30 seconds. Happens all the time. Please fix

Trudy terrible app

Try to add ChatGPT and WhatsApp to my main page, but it couldn’t find the apps. What a waste of money if I thought I could get a refund I’d ask for it. Can I get a refund?

Expensive and no Free Trail

Advertising is good, and the concept is great (although not at all unique to this app). No option for a free trial is a big downside. How am I going to know if I actually like having my phone set up like this? The set up is finicky and to be honest, most of it you have to do yourself manually - so why do we even need the app? I could vibe code rubbish like this for free in 5 minutes.

Do not recommend.

False advertisement

Ad shows clean black screen. Unable to achieve with iOS 26 widget outline. Uninstalled.

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
