## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Only works when app is open

*2022-01-10*

This is exactly what I wanted in a screen time app, clean, simple, and not overbearing. Just a reminder to get off every few minutes. However, the app only works when it is open, which is a huge pain. Everything is perfect except for this bug which makes it useless and a waste of my 5 dollars.

### 1/5 — Ads even with purchase?

*2021-08-04*

The app costs $5 for a super simple interface and functionality.  You get all kinds of ads almost any time you open the app and the “premium” wants another $10/year to get rid of the ads.  Give me a break.  Deleted, not worth it.

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2021-07-10, version 3.8*

Paid £4.99 for the app, but you still have annoying adverts and have to pay an annual subscription for all the features!!! Not impressed. At least it has worked at stopping me from using this app! 
I wouldn’t recommend.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2020-09-22, version 3.8*

Used phone for hours and it said 20 minutes!  Doesn’t register pickups either

### 1/5 — Limited functionality

*2020-08-11*

Unimpressed by offering at 3.99. Not worth it. Subscription too expensive for unclear benefits.

### 1/5 — Useless - doesn’t stop the clock when I put down the phone

*2020-08-05*

I purchased BreakFree yesterday to help me break the habit of looking at my phone first thing in the morning when I wake up. I set a limit of 15 minutes. Then… this morning I was wasting time on my phone for over 30 minutes and got no warning from the app. 

Perhaps, I realized, the problem was that the app needed to be open and running in order to work.

I opened up the app and left my phone on the table for a couple hours while I was in another room. 

The whole time, the screen time tracker kept running and running, piling up warnings, while I was not using my phone. 

The app isn’t working correctly, so it’s a waste of $4. I requested a refund from Apple.

### 1/5 — Don’t do it

*2019-11-12*

Waste of $3. Too many ads

### 1/5 — It doesn’t work

*2019-02-01*

The number of hours it shows for my phone usage is way off. It also shows 0 pickups which is obviously impossible.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t even work

*2018-10-26*

I’ve been using my phone for hours and the app is running in the background and it says 10 minutes

### 1/5 — Not accurate

*2018-10-12*

It never stopped counting even when my phone is locked. Deleting.

## Most praised reviews (8 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2019-09-21*

Excellent

### 5/5 — Hieee

*2018-12-15*

I wish I didn’t have to press “Let’s Get Started!” every single day. That’s all though so I’m almost 💯% a happy camper 😁

### 5/5 — スマホ依存計測器

*2018-10-26, version 3.2*

素晴らしいです。自分がどのくらいスマホ中毒になっているか分かります。

### 5/5 — Awesome!

*2018-06-19*

Super Clean App. Very easy to use and simple way to look at my usage. Love the notifications when I have been on my phone for 30 minutes, knowing I should take a break and do something else.

### 3/5 — ？

*2019-07-10, version 3.8*

日本語訳ってどうやればいいんですか？

### 2/5 — Not Even Slightly Impressed

*2020-07-24*

After having to pay for the initial app, you don’t get an introduction to the application, it’s potential uses, or even its features. Additionally, there are no features except controlling your daily limit of screen time, and if you pay extra, additional back-end analytics on your usage.

Overall, this app is a hoax and waste of money, highly recommend other apps if you’re looking for intuitive and inexpensive ways to limit your smart phone usage.

### 2/5 — Battery drainer

*2020-07-02*

Uses way too much battery power. Uninstalled in less than 2 days

### 2/5 — 言語について

*2019-05-24, version 3.7*

英語だけでなく日本語にもできるようにしてほしい。
