### 1/5 — Don’t download it

*2025-07-09*

If it was one of the worst app I ever used it’s completely useless

### 2/5 — Timer

*2025-05-26*

When I turn off my phone, it still keeps going the timer on how much I use my phone

### 3/5 — Too expensive

*2025-11-05*

Too expensive!

### 4/5 — Awesome app!

*2026-01-07*

I really like this app. It 
effectively blocks apps (and makes me feel sufficiently guilty when I do use them), it's very essy to use and I find it quite user friendly. I would change one thing though, I was wondering about a stronger motivator? For instance, when your screen time is lower the fire gets brighter or something loke that. That is my inly problem with this app, and it isn't even a problem. I hope not to have to delete this for a while.

### 5/5 — Saved me hours!!!

*2025-05-24*

I was just scrolling way too much time on my phone and could never get myself to stop. But I found bonfire and my screen time is down over 50% now with the app blocks. This app has literally given me so much time back to enjoy life

### 5/5 — Wasted Time - gone.

*2024-12-24*

It sounds crazy, but I didn’t realize how much of my life I was wasting until
I got this app. Before Bonfire I was struggling to keep off my phone for 3 hours every day… thats a HUGE chunk of my day gone, scrolling through meaningless junk.

Now I have my time back. I have all my apps with schedules and block limits customized per app and the result is I’m more productive at work and find myself making an effort to talk with friends more. 

You really can’t put a value on time. I’m grateful for Bonfire and recommend it to everyone!

### 5/5 — No more doom scrolling

*2024-12-23*

This app has helped me with my screen time so much. I hated that I would scroll for what was probably hours and hours on different apps. Bonfire has taught me to out the phone down and enjoy my life!

### 5/5 — Helped me make a change

*2024-12-23*

I used to doom scroll for hours and hate the way I felt when I’d close the app and snap out of a trance. Bonfire has helped me reclaim my life and be more present with friends and family.
