### 1/5 — Terrible app

*2026-09-06*

Actually can’t get any worse, I paid like $50 upfront with no free trial and none of the features work. Also just a knock off of the actual app that does this for free. Terrible product.

**Developer response:** Hey, please email us at getfeatherapp@gmail.com

We want to investigate this issue further

### 3/5 — Degraded UX

*2026-09-06*

The app does get rid of Reels for Instagram and Shorts for YouTube, which was the main reason I bought it. 

But for Instagram, posting stories loses a bunch of functionality. If I wanted to post a story I’d probably redownload Instagram so I could post a quality photo.

For YouTube, I notice the video playback is degraded and there’s no option for me to switch the video quality.

I’m hoping they update the app to address this and I’ll change my review to 5 stars. But right now it feels like you’re losing more features than just the reels/shorts

**Developer response:** Hey! We have just updated this so you can now use post mode. This would allow you to give yourself 5-10 minutes to post anything such as stories. 

Then your instagram will block itself again. We are currently working on trying to improve it further but some limitations are set by instagram sadly. 

Also will be looking into the YouTube system for you. However i believe you just need to go out of fullscreen and you will see the option for it!

### 5/5 — Love this!!

*2026-09-04*

I love how it’s like I can still use Instagram normally but I can fully customize it with this and stay focused. Genuinely finding myself using my phone less now

### 1/5 — Don’t want to be named

*2026-08-25*

Have to pay for it, or it’s just really confusing to get past screen where it makes you pay, either way 50 bucks for an app with like no reviews and no anything.

**Developer response:** Hey! 

we have a free trial too, all you need to do is hold down on our app and click “Try for free”

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2026-08-21*

Doesn’t block anything. Avoid.

**Developer response:** Could you please contact us?

Please contact us via: Getfeatherapp@gmail.com

### 1/5 — scam

*2026-08-17*

it costs money. so disappointing that i need to pay to break my addiction. goodbye cruel world.

**Developer response:** Hey! We offer a free trial, hold down on the app and click Try For Free!

### 1/5 — Bad UX Experience

*2026-08-15*

Saw their ad and the app experience is not good at all… and they force you to pay when competitors offer it for free and they directly rip someone else’s app…

**Developer response:** Hey, we have a free trial that you can try and we plan to add more features and improve user experience. We did not just copy an app.

### 2/5 — Good app idea, must pay

*2026-08-07*

If there was any other way for you to earn money other than subscriptions. Just that it’s unfair to the people that they’re paying to try to be better but they cant because they don’t have the money. I don’t have the money, i just want to be better.

**Developer response:** Hey! We offer a free trial. Just hold down on the app and click Try for Free!

### 5/5 — Changed me forever!

*2026-07-21*

I was sick of using regular app blockers. this completely changed that. 10/10

### 5/5 — it really works!

*2026-07-19*

I am genuinely surprised an app like this exists! it has really been helpful and the fact it blocks ads too is extremely convenient!
