I should have read these reviews before paying the $1.99. I am very smart when I’m drunk and this app won’t actually work to keep me embarrassment free. I will just switch back to the other keyboard. ### 1/5 — disappointing - not person specific *2023-11-22, version 4.0* terrible. does not do what i want at all. i can go to the person i dont want to text and activate drunk mode but when i leave and text someone else and then come back to that person, drunk mode isnt there and i can freely text them. i need a barrier that isnt dependent on me consciously changing that everytime i send a message. disappointing. ### 1/5 — Rip-off *2023-11-08, version 4.0* Waste of money. Does not do what it advwrtises. No imateuctions. Worst app wver! ### 1/5 — Already paid *2023-11-02, version 4.0* It says All features unlocked, then tries to get me to pay again. Nope ### 1/5 — Disappointing *2023-10-03, version 4.0* Just spent £1.99 to curb my chronic drunk texting addiction but all you have to do to turn it off before the timer is switch keyboards back by pressing the globe button. Very unhelpful and very disappointed… the quest to ruin my life everytime I have a drink continues 🫨 ### 1/5 — Couldn’t block keyboard or figure out how *2023-08-17, version 4.0* I want my money back ### 1/5 — FAKE APP BEWARE!! *2023-06-24, version 4.0* Apparently no way to get a refund. Plain theft. Zero Stars. ### 1/5 — DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS. $2 waste ahead *2023-06-18, version 4.0* It changes your keyboard background, and disrupts autocorrect. Nothing else. You’re better off in airplane mode. ### 2/5 — You’re buying fancy texting keyboards *2023-06-14, version 4.0* App is a lie from what it’s intended to do. For only $1.99, you have the power to block the very keyboards you purchased from this app. No wonder it’s called Drunk Mode… only such a power could have been conjured while you are drunk. ### 1/5 — The developer of this app is a LIAR *2023-04-15, version 4.0* The app is not free, and the keyboard locker can be easily unlocked by hitting the globe button. DO NOT DOWNLOAD!! ### 1/5 — Terrible *2023-03-31, version 4.0* Let’s you switch back to regular keyboard just by pressing the globe button and get right out of the drunk mode lock. Totally pointless and I doubt it’s really stopped anyone who was drunk from texting anyone. Please take away that stupid button that turns it off too easily and use a different method. ### 1/5 — Made purchase can’t use *2023-03-24, version 4.0* Have made the purchase and can’t use I click unlock drunk mode feature says purchase allegedly made but I don’t see a option to turn it on I try to restore purchase but just says it’s been made how do I activate it no clear way to turn it on have gone in to keyboard settings I’ve given it full access but that’s the only option I have and it’s on ### 1/5 — Nothing happened *2023-02-22, version 4.0* Meant to be a toggle button under Airplane mode but never appeared ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work that well *2023-02-03, version 4.0* I like the app idea, but if you have an iPhone, you can always switch between the keyboards by pressing the globe button. I have a Romanian and English keyboard. If I turn on the app, it will block the app keyboard, but I can still switch back to my old keyboards with just one touch, so it doesn’t work. I can still text even if the app is running . Plus I paid 1.99$ for nothing, totally waste of money ### 1/5 — not actually free lol *2022-12-27, version 4.0* you have to pay for the actual drunk mode feature. false advertising ### 4/5 — It took a sec, but I like it *2022-11-25, version 4.0* Yeah, I was confused when I first downloaded the app. But I honestly like it now that I figured it out. I can only block certain people, like I really wanted, and I can turn it off if I need to. If you’re having trouble, read through some angry comments. They’ll give you pointers. ### 1/5 — DOES NOT WORK *2022-11-05, version 4.0* You can still send text in drunk mode!!! Do not buy. This is a waste of money!!!!! ### 1/5 — It doesn’t work *2022-11-03, version 4.0* The app straight up does not work. I couldn’t get “drunk mode” working after trying for an hour. Absolutely pathetic and a waste of money ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2022-09-18, version 4.0* Even after setting the drunk timer up you literally click the button at the bottom and it removes the keyboard lock. Pretty much defeats the purpose of the app. Do not waste your money. ### 1/5 — Total trash *2022-08-31, version 4.0* Paid for the full features and nothing changed. No “drunk mode”. Just a scam to get your 2$. This should be kicked off the App Store. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2025-12-30, version 4.0* Doesn’t come with any directions and as far as I’ve got now it does not limit my texting ### 1/5 — I don’t get it *2025-02-15, version 4.0* You can turn on the drunk block keyboard feature but then easily just press the unlock button to switch back at any time. Don’t really get it? ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2024-12-01, version 4.0* The free app works better. ### 1/5 — bs *2024-09-26, version 4.0* this app is actually totally bs and i do not see how it would solve anything 😂 i would like a refund because the purchase seems to have done nothing ### 1/5 — App changed *2024-09-24, version 4.0* I used this app for years, and as long as you set up the keyboard in your phones settings, It gave you options. However now that I set my keyboard up, it doesn’t go to options, it’s still on main page. Many glitches and has gotten really bad. Used to be good. I can’t get it to work now. :( ### 1/5 — Too many holes in this condom *2024-09-17, version 4.0* Unless you don’t know how to change the keyboard you’re still going to make that call or text. This doesn’t prevent it. Maybe just call them sober so drunk you won’t do it drunk. Get back with them it wasn’t this bad. Wasted 2 dollars for a lock. This could have been more fun if it takes messages you make and autocorrects them to polite innocent messages that would otherwise be considered offensive or inappropriate. ### 1/5 — FAKE & USELESS even after paying $1.99 *2024-07-26, version 4.0* FAKE & USELESS even after paying $1.99. Do not waste your time! I paid all the costs and nothing changed from the free download from the App Store. 0/10 Needs to be removed from the AppStore ### 1/5 — Read the comments *2024-05-18, version 4.0* I should have read the comments before I bought this. Complete waste of money. Very easy to change the keyboard, which I just did to leave this review. ### 1/5 — Pass it *2024-05-05, version 4.0* I have used this app before, it was intuitive and easy to navigate. It makes no sense now and forget about asking a question. Do yourself a favor and skip it ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work if you have an iPhone *2024-02-10, version 4.0* The whole purpose is to lock my phone so I can’t send a text during the time set for drunk mode. If you have an iPhone you can click the globe and switch keyboards and still send a text. This is the most poorly thought out app. Do not waste your time and someone should create an app that actually does what this is intended to do ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — App works *2022-02-13, version 4.0* The app works the way it is suppose to, but I had to read other reviews and go online to figure out how it works. The developer needs to give more concise directions on how it works. Otherwise it may seem like a scam. ### 5/5 — Best thing I’ve done for my anxiety *2020-09-10* I have a bad habit of getting drunk and commenting on people’s posts or messaging people things I wouldn’t normally say. I will wake up the next day and immediately think “oh no, what did I say?” Well, last night I used the app for the first time and OMG it was so nice to wake up without beating myself up or trying to figure out what comments need deleted before someone sees them. The best thing I’ve done for my anxiety. **Developer response:** Thank you so much for downloading and for your comment. Kindest Regards ### 5/5 — Good app *2020-06-18, version 4.0* Good app! I really like it. Wish they had a lifetime drunk mode as an option. Lol. Highly recommend! Thank you to the developers! I also want to add, you need to pay less than $3 to have it fully functional. Not bad. Developers deserve support. Thank you! ### 5/5 — Mega dignity saver!!! *2018-01-14, version 3.0* As long as you know when you start drinking to switch drunk mode on for 4-5 hours! Mega dignity saver! Love this app! Thank you!!!! 👍 ### 5/5 — Review *2015-07-04, version 1.0* It's a really good app helps out a lot😄 ### 5/5 — helps a lot! *2015-07-03, version 1.0* Better to be daft me than sorry ### 5/5 — Cool *2015-07-03, version 1.0* Cool ### 5/5 — Ye *2015-07-02, version 1.0* cool app?!!!! ### 5/5 — So cool *2015-06-29, version 1.0* Awesome ### 5/5 — Cool *2015-06-26, version 1.0* great --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
