### 1/5 — SCAM DONT BUY

*2026-07-26, version 1.4.2*

So for context I want to get off my phone more so I looked for an app like this one where you had to do push ups or something like that to get screen time. It does cost money but on the plans it said $2 a month and I thought, oh that’s super cheap I’ll buy it. But no it charged me $21.83 on my card and I was not expecting that monthly. So yeah don’t buy it unless you want to pay $20 a month!

### 1/5 — sucks

*2026-07-18*

can get rid off the app

### 1/5 — $

*2026-06-16, version 1.4.0*

You have to pay in order to use the app

### 1/5 — Make it free

*2026-05-11, version 1.3.3*

You have to pay

### 1/5 — I don’t like it

*2026-04-12, version 1.1.2*

It should be able to access back camera and be able to connect to a different device I want that because my front camera is blurry and won’t work. At least make the app work with blurry cameras

### 1/5 — L

*2026-04-07, version 1.1.0*

it wouldve been helpful to know that i would have to pay for this

### 1/5 — This doesn’t count my squats

*2026-04-05, version 1.0.9*

I did half a squat and it gave me nine squats, and it still went up when I didn’t even do them bad app tracking should be improved

### 4/5 — Too expensive

*2026-04-04, version 1.0.9*

It costs money😡

### 5/5 — Super cool app
