Vibe coded app and stopped working after new updates

Used to work fine and was essential to my day to day, now since a new update it doesn’t block any apps at all. Besides it seems like a vibe coded app that doesn’t seem work the membership price, but I got it when the price was a lot lower. They have a loan system that you can easily bypass by pressing on the edges of blocks completely making the whole game system invalid. At first I was fine cause only paid 32 on something that worked extremely well but now hearing that they charge 72 on something that doesn’t work is upsetting. This is an app designed to save time in my life, an app that I’ve paid to do its job and it doesn’t even do that after a few “vibecoded” updates. If I could get my money back on the time I’ve lost I’d be a lot more grateful.

I really needed this

I’ve tried so many things. Opal, brick, random plugins, etc.

This combines the best of all worlds. Learning + screen time blocking

Best screen time app

This app is a 10/10 in every way but I also expect improvements because I pay for this instead of a free app but if you add a to do list with the screen time that would be amazing also it would be nice to add your actual screen time into the app and the time saved goes from all time to daily and weekly also a normal schedule could be good thanks

Great app

Honestly, well executed. Just used the learn Arabic feature, and considering that’s something I do in my personal time, I don’t even have the urge to reopen the apps that distract me.

very big for my life

In January I was jobless and 4hr avg tiktok & insta screen time. Since, i’ve got 2 jobs and 30 min avg tiktok and insta.

So convenient!

It’s so easy to navigate the app and I’ve never found a better way to fix my screen time addiction.

Amazing app

A great app that has definitely helped me lower my screen time. It isnt just like the other blocking apps ive tried and does a great job at tailoring your preferences into ways to control your screen time. Has great app design and runs smoothly.

God

Amazing

amazing

honestly amazing, i’ve used almost 20 screen time apps from push ups to math problems etc but none works as good as this one

Lowk helped

Actually helped manage my screen time. Saw a major decline in my weekly average after I’d been trying for months to do so but I did it in two weeks with second thought. Really recommend

Useful!

Been using Second Thought for a few weeks and it actually works. Instead of a normal time limit, it makes you solve a quick challenge (I usually get math or Plinko) before an app opens, and that few seconds is enough to make me close the app instead. The block groups are handy too, I’ve got social media and games split up so I can loosen one without touching the other. My screen time is down noticeably since I started.

Nice app for gamble lover

This screen time app genuinely works

I’ve had trouble with keeping my screentime down with social media and I never wanted to fully delete it since my friends all keep up to date on the apps. But since downloading this app I’ve cut down my social media use to under an hour everyday. I personally use the blackjack and chess on 1600-2000 elo on the app and it really works. I’d recommend this to anyone who wants to take back their screentime for things that actually matter. Also it’s super easy to use and I’ve had no problems with it since

Great app!

I used to be at 12 hours of screen time a day. This app changed me to 1 hour a day! I can finally focus. :)

Love to see it! Keep it up! If you ever have any questions or feedback, feel free to reach us at team@trydelay.app :)

Second thought

This app is hands-down the most effective screen time tool I have ever used. Standard app blockers don't work for me because I always find myself mindlessly clicking "ignore limit" or putting in a passcode without thinking. This app completely solves that fatal flaw. If your short attention span is getting the best of you and you want to genuinely build better focus, download this app immediately. Huge shoutout to the developers for constantly keeping it updated and effective!

Genuinely recommend

Works great as a way to limit screen time and especially the poker and chess games made me actually enjoy not having immediate access to social media and has had significant impact on time spent on my phone

Game not loading when I’m locked out

Reclaiming my mind and soul

Exactly what I was looking for to fill good things in my head and lessen brain drain and doom scrolling. This is truly a Godsend
