No free trial

I’m not going to spend $50 on something if I don’t know it for sure works. Make a week free trial or something

meh

overpriced and glitchy. needs a lot of work. does not run ig very well - slow and oftentimes the screen is non responsive. not the worst ever, but im glad i didn’t pay for the year long subscription, probably will not use

Great concept but lots of room to improve

There were tons of data farming questions in the beginning that you KNOW had nothing to do with the end result. Once in, the concept feels exactly like what I was hoping for. I’m so glad it exists. I can truly see this concept working for me long term because it strikes a happy medium instead of the “all or nothing” approach of other apps. It gives me just enough of a dopamine kick to not entirely redownload the apps I mindlessly scroll on, while at the same time removing the most addictive parts of it that allow it to delete hours of my life. But it doesn’t take long to realize there are tons of bugs. It takes so long to produce content when scrolling. Can’t access any saved posts. Tons of actions bring me back to homepage unexpectedly. In concept, it seems they are attempting to get rid of reels by essentially recreating the app inside of their own app. So I understand that there is a lot of work that goes in behind it. All I’m saying is that I really hope they figure it out because at this point the app is not sustainable.. but if they get it to a point of good health I can see this changing my life. TLDR: not happy but rooting for them!

False marketing

The app claims 4.9 star reviews from 200k plus user but they barely have 20 reviews which are all mostly 1 star

10/10 App!

I cannot believe this exists, amazing and well worth it.

Honest review it’s a life changer

I’m rating it 5 stars because it really helps u stay away from it social media or doomscrolling, I used to doomscroll so much without realising and then I tried this app and now I only use it to check what my friends send me, 99% of the time I reach the end of my feed and do something else worth my time lol so it’s really good, I also ended up deleting the original apps so now I only use this, it’s slightly laggy sometimes but you wouldn’t really notice it and I also wish they could add more social media’s like Facebook or snapchat if it’s possible

Response from developer

Thank you for the amazing review! We are planning on adding a major update very soon to address bugs and new platforms including Facebook, snapchat and a few others. We are happy to see our app has helped you!

Unresolved billing issue

Emailed support about a billing issue and I have yet to hear back from them.

Response from developer

Hey please drop us another email! Most billing issues are handled with Apple and we cannot do anything on our end

Scam

Do not spend your money on this slop. I should’ve known better

Love this app!

This app is amazing

Fake app, stay away!

Does not work! It’s fake and Apple does not process a refund for this one after. Stay away.

Response from developer

Hey, could you contact us directly at getfeatherapp@gmail.com and tell us what is not working? Regarding the refund, Apple will check usage data, time spent on the app and it is entirely up to them to grant refunds. We do not have the ability to grant refunds, only Apple does.

Sketchy app w shady devs

Tried app, asked me a ton of data farming questions, took forever to get through to the app and then got a paywall. Super disappointing but I tired it at least expecting the app to work but not only is it insanely slow, basically unusable but it also bricked my phone causing it to overheat several times to dangerous levels. Super concerning, I wrote a previous review and the devs took it down which I feel says enough about the devs. Please dont risk it, I would hate to even think about where my ig accounts info may have been leaked.

Response from developer

Hey we would like to let you know, we do not collect any data and this can be verified by Apple on our official App Store page. Apple thoroughly reviews apps, its logs and network traffic to ensure any data is not shared unless necessary or mentioned by the developer. We also noticed you did not leave a previous review and your accounts were not hacked as we do not have any sort of access to this. If your account was truly hacked, please contact us with some proof at getfeatherapp@gmail.com.

Expensive and doesn’t work and account got hacked.

Idk what I was expecting, seemed to good to be true so I payed and was expecting the app to work, I was extremely disappointed that many of the features were not functional, the ui was unusable, so I stopped using it, a week later my account was hacked. Incredibly sketchy practices to get you to pay with false claims and massive security vulnerabilities whether it was the app itself that hacked me or just exposed my info I would seriously warn anyone and everyone to stay as far away from this app as possible.

Response from developer

Hey, we noticed you’ve only left bad reviews on apps similar to ours and left a good review on another app. We’ve been seeing multiple stories from you and if you’re leaving bad reviews on behalf of a competitor we advise you to delete your review as this is against Apple’s ToS and it could resort to getting your account entirely terminated.

Scam

It doesn’t work

Paywall

Saying that it’s 50$ before taking all of my info would be great! I get the marketing behind but no thank-you!

Response from developer

Hey, as you can see within our app store listing. We are verified by apple that we do not take any data.

So cool

It’s helped me get my screentime low while still enjoying being involved with all my friends. I highly recommend!

Doesn’t work

Tried everything to get it to work. $50 for nothing, Doesn’t work. If someone from the team can reach out and help me figure out if I’m doing something wrong, I’ll change my review

Response from developer

Hey please email us at getfeatherapp@gmail.com Will be happy to help!

Terrible app

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.

Response from developer

Hey, please email us at getfeatherapp@gmail.com We want to investigate this issue further

Degraded UX

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

Love this!!

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

Don’t want to be named

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.

Response from developer

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