### 5/5 — Gave me my life back

*2026-07-11*

Been using it for two years, it does exactly what I need it to. Awesome way to dumb down!

### 4/5 — Love this! Please fix iOS 26 issues!

*2025-09-27*

After using a few "dumb phone" launchers, this one is by far the easiest to use and most seamless in opening apps (without Shortcuts), without mining my data or requiring a subscription.

iOS 26 broke the transparency function, unfortunately. Please fix as soon as possible!

### 2/5 — ios26 미지원

*2025-09-17*

먹통이네요 ㅠㅠ

### 5/5 — Good price, highly customizable

*2025-09-09*

After mining in tons of dumb phone apps I decided this one has the best value. Another app I’ve used has the same price, but it’s less customizable and the opening is less seamless. Keep it up!

### 4/5 — Great App But…

*2025-08-03*

First off I want to applaud the developer who works on this. The instructions are very easy to understand for anyone and allow you to import custom fonts. My only improvement is how apps are launched. For example, in “dp” (the largest dumb phone launcher on the app store) normal apps like Gmail, Messages, etc basically anything not system apps are launched directly. This means you don’t have to go through the dumb phone launcher to open the app. However, with this app you get sent to a  a “redirecting” screen then the app opens. If the developer could improve this to make the app open directly it would be a 10/10. But besides that it’s a great way to help you reduce your screen time.

### 5/5 — This is the best one

*2025-06-21*

Hands down the best of the many copy’s of this type of minimalist app launcher. A one time purchase price, proper widget transparency, and other custom options. I’ve tried them all. This. Is. It!

### 1/5 — Doesnt explain how to use it properly

*2025-05-08*

This app doesn't explain how to use it very well.... gonna have to delete it sadly.

### 5/5 — A Thoughtfully Designed Minimalist Launcher App

*2025-04-23*

After trying several alternatives, this app is by far the most intuitive and effective. Its minimalist design keeps me focused—no more endless scrolling or forgotten tasks. My screen time has dropped significantly, and I feel genuinely more present throughout the day. Unlike many similar apps, it’s a one-time purchase with no subscription, making it both affordable and hassle-free.

**Developer response:** Thanks a lot for the awesome review! Really glad to hear the app is helping you stay focused and making a difference. We’ll keep things simple and clean, just like you like it!
