That being said, there are a couple of changes I would like to see. First, I don’t like the gem limit. I like being able to track all my activities, but I want them to count towards the gems. Second, I think you should be able to add activities you did in the past. For example, if I’m reading for half an hour and I forget to log that in the moment, I can’t add that back and then I don’t get any ‘credit’, for lack of a better term. I also think you should be able to add/take away activities. For example, I’m not Christian/Catholic, but I am Pagan and want to be able to having praying to my own gods in there. I also would like to add things like washing my face, or just other things like that. I think being able to add those and then have the gem reward be comparable to other, similar, tasks would be helpful. Also, whenever you spend gems, Rottie gets really sad, and that makes me uncomfortable. If I earned the gems, I feel like I should be able to spend them without having the character cry. These are just my thoughts, but overall it’s a really good app. ### 2/5 — Im to broke *2026-07-02, version 1.0.16* I get you need to have a subscription option but I am a teen who can’t buy stuff online and all that stuff so I think there should still be a paid option i get that but maybe some with ads free version ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Scam!!! *2026-08-03, version 1.0.17* Absolute scam ### 1/5 — Cannot delete *2026-07-15, version 1.0.17* Cannot delete ### 1/5 — Don’t buy *2026-07-15, version 1.0.17* YOU HAVE TO PAY TO DO IT!!! ### 1/5 — Can’t use it without paying *2026-07-14, version 1.0.17* When you log into the app, it literally won’t let you use it if you don’t subscribe to their plan. Not everyone who’s needing to use this has money to spend on it. ### 1/5 — App *2026-07-10, version 1.0.17* You have to pay very disappointing ### 1/5 — So stupid *2026-07-07, version 1.0.17* It does nothing while the insta account claims everything is free and there is no pay wall, there isn’t even a free trial. DO NOT DOWNLOAD IF YOU WANT A FULL BANK ACCOUNT ### 1/5 — Money *2026-07-06, version 1.0.16* I’m literally 12 right and my parents don’t wanna buy anything right so I can’t even buy nothing ### 1/5 — YOU HAVE TO PAY *2026-07-05, version 1.0.16* You have to pay for this. I thought it was an easy way for me to cut down on my screen time but I have to pay for this and personally I don’t want to be paying monthly for something I’m not even sure will work. This seems like a great idea but I’m 13 and I don’t want to be spending my money. My screen time averages at 2 hours and 6 minutes so for me it just isn’t worth it. ### 1/5 — Bad *2026-07-03, version 1.0.16* Disappointing. I cannot do anything except pay for a subscription ### 1/5 — One *2026-06-20, version 1.0.15* I’m rating this a one because i have to pay and I don’t know why to get off my phone I have to money and it kinda makes no sense.So I think they should add to this app where you don’t have to pay ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — What I think about it *2026-08-14, version 1.0.17* I know this is going to change my life entirely ### 5/5 — Love it *2026-08-11, version 1.0.17* Love ittt ### 5/5 — Thank you *2026-08-10, version 1.0.17* This was great changed my mindset ### 5/5 — Block for *2026-08-07, version 1.0.17* It made me get loads more sleep ### 5/5 — Best app *2026-07-30, version 1.0.17* Best app ### 5/5 — Jeff *2026-07-25, version 1.0.17* It is good ### 5/5 — Blockrot *2026-07-23, version 1.0.17* I just started this.
