Didn't agree to any subscription or free trial yet locked down my entire phone, can't delete
I downloaded this app expecting to be able to choose whether I wanted to use its features. Instead, it restricted my apps before I had agreed to a subscription or started a trial. The app did not give me a clear way to decline and continue using my phone normally.
The “emergency unlock” option also requires starting a subscription/free trial, which makes it feel like I am being forced into paying to regain access to my own device. I never agreed to a paid plan or free trial, yet the restrictions were still applied. I am also unable to delete Clema because I had forgotten the screen time passcode that Clema required me to use, meaning I have an app that is, essentially, PERMANENTLY on my phone, with no way to delete it despite me NEVER AGREEING to a subscription or free trial!
I have reported this app to Apple for fraud. The app shouldn't be restricting my phone unless I agree to its subscription or trial - which I never did - and you cannot delete the app unless you agree to one of these. Even if you NEVER AGREE and shut down the app as it gives you the option to agree to a subscription or free trial, and you press neither of them, it will still operate like you did without charging you, except you can't even delete the app if you don't want to use it! It's extremely predatory.

App doesn’t block anything
I have downloaded this app and have clicked the refresh button many times, I even chose the apps I need blocked and it still doesn’t block them I just have free access to them. Unless I’m missing something, this seems to be a waste of money. It doesn’t update to 100% for the productivity score every day just stays at the same % for days on end. It’s annoying.

life changing, finally stopped doomscrolling
before i found this app, my screen time was almost 11-12 hours a day. I was unable to get my work done because I was addicted to my phone. I tried everything to get over it but this app is the only solution that has actually stuck with my routine. I’d recommend to anyone also trying to reduce screentime!

Cant use it for free
Whemever i open it they force me to pay money and i cannot use it unless i pay
Best app Ever
After my friends average screen time going from 11hrs per day on social media to 30 mins on their phone overall,I decided that this was also THE BEST app for me to get to.Totally recommended!👌
Great concept, too expensive
This is something I would absolutely be willing to pay for, but at ~$80 per user per year, it’s cost prohibitive and there are other options that are close enough.
I hope they can figure out something to make the cost more sustainable and maybe have a group or family discount because it’s a great product otherwise and thoughtfully designed.

Response from developer
Thanks for the feedback, we've reduced the price significantly!
So helpful
This app is actually so helpful & makes focusing on things that matter a lot easier. I have been spending significantly less time on social media, I highly recommend this app!
Good app. Terrible with accruing points
Downloaded the app am highly satisfied but was motivated to use focus times to increase my coinage to improve my avatar and sadly I’ve completed numerous focus times in my coins have not been accounted for try deleting the app restarting my phone trying different methods, but the coin method is a gimmick

Cool Concept
I like that the app holds you accountable for trying to open distracting apps and the focus sessions are a good idea. However, the price is kind of high imo and Clema has blocked apps I did not choose and I have to ‘take a break’ if I want to play Spotify in the background.
Awesome
As a med student, I can’t recommend this app enough. Not only is scrolling social media a huge waste of time, it’s also destroying our attention spans and ability to concentrate. The fact that you have to reflect before scrolling makes a huge difference!
Boring
Not many features
Great app
Since downloading Clema, I’ve spent a lot less time on social media and a lot more time learning new things to help advance my career. I’d highly recommend it to both students and professionals.
actually works
i’ve been using this for a couple of months and my screen time dropped way more than i expected. i’ve been getting more done without even trying and the cute skins make it fun so i actually stick with it
Paid
You have to pay to do anything on the app
Absolutely effective
This seriously tests your addiction to your phone and social media. It’s effective, it HELPS you, and it’s not just a bystander app that lets you unblock your apps with the click of a button.
Didn’t even start
I was really looking forward to using this app because it looks great and I really need help with my phone addiction, but I can’t justify paying that much per month. Wish it was a more realistic price
Ugh
Such a great idea if it weren’t for the paywall :(
great app
first app of many screen time apps I’ve used, that’s actually helped. P.s. i like the logo and clema skins to collect very cute
SaaS subscription slop
Asks for a review and rating before you even do anything and then paywalled. The joke writes itself.
Great App
Great app and well developed
