Best launcher by far

I have been experimenting with the different launchers to simplify my phone interface for a couple of years, and I have never stuck with one until I found DP.
I have yet to come across any major glitches and the developer is very helpful, regarding some questions I had.
I would highly recommend this to anybody who is looking to have a sane phone experience.

Restore old detox!

This app was perfect: the detox mode managed to keep me off my phone for literal days at a time. My screen time dropped from 4 hours per day to <1 hour per day. Then they changed it to add “breaks” etc. You can no longer add an endless detox easily. Please fix this, and it will be 5 stars!

Game changer

After trying a few minimalist apps, I have found this one the best and love how clean and uninteresting my iphone is now. Won’t go back. Its saving my time and a bonus is that my kids can no longer operate it easily. Thanks for creating this app!
