Almost perfect

This app would be perfect if you did not need to enter your passcode to start the detox mode. That way I could get my husband to make the code and I couldn’t bypass it. The automatic start of detox didn’t work so I needed the passcode to start one.

Just another subscription app

It’s just pretty disappointing that the developers have decided to go for a subscription based model rather than paying upfront for the app. The cost of the app before wasn’t much, but the main reason I bought it in the first place was to stop me from mindlessly check my phone. Now when I use the widgets most often it will not open the app directly, but go to the dumb phone app then open it. Along with the developers urging you to pay up to $10 for a subscription. It’s just very scummy that in order for an app that was used to help people with phone addictions are now trying to get you to pay $10 for it work fully. I’ll just stick to something else to help limit my screen time, but I’m not paying $10 a month to do so.

Really good app and helpful instructions

Very good work. I like the app a lot and it’s simpler to use than others like it.

Stopped working with forced ads

Worked great for a time but now every time I try to open an app it opens the DP app and tries to get me to buy. Makes it completely unusable and will be uninstalling if this is not fixed

Helps my brain so much

I wish I didn’t need an app like this but I do! It really feels like I’m rewriting my brain. Thank you!

Good! But needs an update

With the new update it doesn’t look like the picture. All widgets have glass borders

Beste dumb phone app

Tolle dumbphone Konfiguration mit sehr responsivem Öffnen von Apps. Tolle Anpassung der Widgets möglich. Top Support, Antwort in einem Tag

Would recommend!

Great app for making phone into a minimalistic style. It also has really helpful and easy to follow guides on how to set everything up.

Easy to set up and Effective!

Worth it

Great App for Students

Absolutely awesome app! So many free features, user friendly and great for anyone in exams who love to procrastinate! Looking forward to continuing to use this app. 😁

Helps me not get distracted

I often found myself opening an app for a specific purpose only to get distracted seeing the little number of notifications on the top right of app icons. Sometimes, I wouldn’t even accomplish what I opened my phone to do.

Simplifying my home screen has made it so I have access to my most important apps. If I need to use a specific app, I’ll search for it directly; eliminating the potential distractions altogether. Definitely recommend.

Stopped working

None of my apps ever open anymore, opening apps in the car when I desperately need things like maps is hell. I’m constantly going around the app to open things, which defeats the whole purpose and I feel more frustrated than helped.

This is nonsense IT doesn’t do ANYTHING

You’re paying 9.99 for a WIDGET congrats on finding a way to steal peoples money

خايسسس ما انصح فيه

ما حبيت ابدااا

Frustrating

Was so excited to use this app
I needed the minimalist and the detox from the compulsive urge to check phone and get distracted, I purchased the year subscription I was that determined but the app crashes when I use the links
I set up to access of “my most used really need to Have apps” keeps telling me I need to purchase the full version to get rid Of this message I need to reset close the windows and open it again is very frustrating and annoying it does it very time so I started opening the actual app Directly so what’s the purpose for this app then?? Very disappointing

Tricky to setup but worth it

Really interesting app. Gives a cool, minimalist interface to your phone. Honestly, I like that it makes my iPhone more unique. Everyone’s phone is the same now and it’s so boring. Yes, it’s designed to reduce your distractions and dependency on your phone. And, that all works really well. But it also just makes your phone cooler. It is tricky to setup. Follow the steps and videos very closely. You’ll figure it out. Also, email them for tech support. They respond promptly. They know it is tricky to configure and are super helpful.

Great until it wasn’t

This app was GREAT and did it exactly what it needed to do until at some point it just started showing me ads; every time I would click on one of my “Dumb Phone apps” it would open up an ad on the actual Dumb Phone app rather than opening up the iMessage app or Camera app. I would try clicking it two or three more times and the ad would just keep showing up. So I am now deleting this app lol

Bringing consciousness

This app has helped me create some distance from the habit of reaching for my phone every few seconds and be more present in my own life and how surprisingly and easy falling in the web of constant distraction even with no intention of that in life.

It’s not about hating your phone or becoming completely disconnected. It’s about remembering that you don’t have to fill every empty moment with a screen and bring consciousness to your live.

For me, that has been genuinely valuable.

Great app

Love the app. It keeps all the functionality of a smartphone while both reduces the addictive hijacking that comes from just opening your phone and adding just right amount of friction to accessing the full power of the phone. It’s been a great experience. 10/10 recommendation.

Paywall

Force you behind a paywall after I guess a week? I mean I would rather them have just said it more clearly up front before making all these changes. Don’t recommend unless you plan on paying.
