Want to quit for real? Can’t just block, need to set limits on usage. Dull does it best.
Title says it all really
Good Idea bad Practice
I like the idea
I enjoyed using it to detox
However I found myself detoxing because of the inability of the app to be used properly
Between being poorly sized for the screen, not having back options and just user UI problems that can't be changed, it took me away from Instagram not because of reels but bc it made it very hard to use, not intentionally.
Also no marketplace

I am working on the screen scaling and navigation issues you mentioned. I will also look into the missing marketplace. Please email hello@getdull.app so I can get more details on your device and fix these specific UI bugs.
Great idea with a lot of bugs
Use it every day, saves me time. It deserves a worse review as it is, but I want to give you an opportunity to improve it. I added a facebook today and it is almost the same as the app! Same reels and feed as in the app. I use iphone 17 pro max on ios 26.5.2. Dull is fully updated. Other than that - instagram stories work weirdly (you first open the account and Instagram doesn’t show all the people with stories, just some of them). On Facebook marketplace some listings just don’t load up at all (blank screen when you try to open it). I need Facebook just for subscription feed, marketplace and notifications. Don’t need the feed from other groups or people that i’m not subscribed to (dull doesn’t fix it for Facebook). Youtube works good, almost no problems. Instagram generally works good too (i see the subscription feed only, which alone justifies the payment for dull and i cannot doom scroll at all; and I also see all the reals people send me, which is also great). Wish you the best, would be really great if you could fix the problems it has

I am working on the Facebook feed filtering and the Marketplace loading issue now. The Instagram story tray behavior is also on my list to fix. Thank you so much for the feedback! Fill get those sorted.
Don’t use this app
Probably one of the worst user experiences I’ve had using this app. Sociallite is a much better alternative and they’re free. Someone definitely vibe coded this app without thinking of the user experience.
No reals AD doesn’t work
I don’t know if I’m using this product wrong, but I checked every single feature and none of them allows you to use Instagram while blocking reels like it does or how we presented itself in the advertisement. In fact to do it a block Instagram as a whole rather than just blocking the reels alone.
Response from developer
Dull is designed to hide the Reels tab and feed while keeping the rest of Instagram functional. If the app is blocking the entire platform for you, that is a bug I need to fix. Please email hello@getdull.app so I can see how your settings are configured and resolve this.
