Love it
Most effective thing I have used in stopping me waste time on social media
Timer got removed, Lots of bugs, doesn’t work well
Removed the best feature which was the timer, Schedules don’t work all the time like if you unbrick for some reason it does not go back to the schedule, lots of bugs in the app, very frustrating
Incredible device
Overall, I have been using brick for the last few weeks and my productivity throughout the day has improved drastically. Additionally I find myself enjoying being away from my phone and being more present throughout the day. Highly recommend to anyone who needs to be more productive or wants to just be more present throughout their day to day lives.

Facetime blocked
Ive used this for a a few months now. its ok. for the device being $50 it is insane that theres a limit on how many apps you can lock. also facetime does not work at all despite me not having it included in my blocked apps. anytime someone facetimes me my entire phone glitches out and stops working. Maybe lower the price of the device and figure out the actual logistics first. It has potential.

Helpful!
Just what I needed to keep my phone on me but ease the need to open social apps and scroll!
100% satisfied and obsessed!
At the end of the very first day of using my Brick, I emailed the company to ask about how to become an affiliate. My productivity increased by 80%! The simplicity of its design and use absolutely sealed the deal!! 10/10 recommend
Useless customer support
I have emailed them 3 times over last two months. Not a single response. I have bought a Samsung Xcover7 as I break phones easily. Not only does the Brick not block certain websites for no reason on Chrome, but I cannot tap my phone to unbrick. So frustrating and zero response from their customer service. Would not bother again.

Brick is ingenious
So far so good! Just bought it last weekend and already been bricked for 75 hours. So peaceful.
Takes a few tries to figure out which apps you truly need to keep unbricked and which ones you don’t really need, so the first week you’ll need to play around with it and think about what’s practical.
My sister bought one as well and she is loving it so far. Might save us from having to buy dumbphones. We’ll see in 3 months or so!

My time back
Using brick has really gave me back the ability to prioritise my time again. I used to spend hours endlessly scrolling social media through the day but now with brick I feel like I’ve been given the ability to go about my day without needless distractions
Love it
Slashes my screen time. Customer
support is amazing. I had an issue at it was resolved so quickly.

Amazing!!!
I often get distracted with my phone and doing chores but with this app it changes everything! You can brick your phone for family time, doing work, doing chores, and SO much more!!! I love this app so much!!!
Major Missing Feature: Timed Unbrick
The lack of a timed unbrick feature is a major flaw. You should be able to unbrick for 5–15 minutes and have it automatically rebrick. Without this, a quick check can easily become hours of scrolling the exact problem Brick is supposed to solve. It is however a great concept. Hopefully the team sees this

Immediately Useful
Just that one step, that tiny one extra step of having to open the app and find the brick and tap the brick is enough. It’s enough for me to pick up the phone out of habit to scroll, go oops yeah, i forgot - go back to concentrating. My productivity at work this week has shot up. No surprises there!

Be free
Tap the brick and get your mind back. The phone is a torture device put it away.
Amazing for a phone addiction
Great product, worth the cost for the brick. I brought down my social media time by 60% and I started at an average of 3.5 hours a day
Actually kinda helps
It does kinda help
Surprisingly worked, love it
I was about to return it thinking I could achieve the same by settings on the phone. But after I was away from the brick and brick had blocked all apps, I realized that I randomly opened instagram a few times but since I saw it was bricked and I would have to get up and unbrick to use the app , I just left it. Mostly opening up instagram out of boredom and easy access to it. I feel like my sleep has been a lot better too.

100 options not 50
I have 5 authenticator apps alone. 4 bank apps. Apps that order coffee, food and on an on- and then there are useful and distracting websites. Please Brick designers get us up to 100 turned on or 100 turned off because every little function in my day has a separate app so 50 options allowed or 50 options blocked isn’t enough.

I left my browser available! Let me use it!
I included my phone’s web browser in the “apps to allow” and while I can still open it, every website comes up as blocked!
Is there a way to only block url’s tied to other apps on the phone like social media sites and YouTube?
I might need to look something up while bricked and away from home!!!
Please do let me know if I’m missing something

Love the idea
I really wanted this to be the answer to my phone addiction, but it’s actually made my screen time increase after switching from Opal. I think the concept is great, but the execution needs a little work.
My problem is that when I unbrick my phone, there’s no time limit, and ideally it would automatically become bricked again after 15 minutes or something. I don’t have the will power to brick my phone after a short time. I tried the schedule and I think it made things even worse.
Being able to set strict app time limits would be amazing.
The physical aspect of this is really helpful, but it would be more impactful if I had to go unbrick my phone every 15 minutes.
