### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-08-13, version 2.0.6*

The app is excellent; I have absolutely no complaints.

### 4/5 — Great app

*2026-08-11, version 2.0.6*

Bummer that you have to pay to add more than one limit.

### 3/5 — Great App, Broken Upgrade Process

*2026-08-06*

I actually like Jomo and decided to upgrade to the Lifetime plan because I believe in the app. Unfortunately, the upgrade process is poorly designed. The app instructs users to purchase the Lifetime plan first and then request a refund from Apple for the annual subscription. I followed those instructions exactly, but Apple denied my refund request. As a result, I ended up paying for both an Annual subscription and a Lifetime subscription.

If this upgrade path depends on Apple approving refunds, it’s not a reliable system. Jomo should redesign the upgrade process so customers aren’t put in this situation. For example, they could offer the Lifetime purchase through their website, provide a prorated upgrade, or use another method that doesn’t rely on Apple’s refund process.

I still think the app is great, but the upgrade experience left me frustrated. I hope the developers improve this so future customers don’t end up paying twice.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback! We know that upgrading from a subscription to a lifetime plan isn’t a one-click process, so we do our best to clearly explain the different steps involved.

We also emphasize that the most important step is to cancel your existing subscription so that it doesn’t renew.

Whether you receive a refund for your subscription depends on several factors and isn’t guaranteed. For example, if you’re already 10 months into an annual subscription, a refund may be difficult to justify.

By the way, you can also purchase Jomo Plus (including the lifetime plan!) through our website. This allows us to offer prorated upgrades when justified.

### 5/5 — 디지털디톡스 앱으로 추천

*2026-08-04*

저는 평생회원권을 구매하여 사용하고 있어요.
홈페이지에서 프로모션 코드에 ‘focus15'를 입력하면 15% 할인된 가격에 구매할 수 있어요.
보통 시간 제한 어플들은 앱 사용 자체를 차단하기 때문에 잠겨 있는 동안 알림을 받을 수 없는데, Jomo는 단축어를 통해 알림을 받을 수 있게 설정할 수 있어서 좋았어요.(advanced features-notifications 참고)
이 외에도 단축어를 활용하여 다양한 설정을 할 수 있어서 활용도가 높아요.
혹시 14일 무료 체험을 해보실 분이 계시다면, 추천코드 GQ3KU3을 입력해주시면 감사하겠습니다.

+ 가격이 부담되시면 ScreenZen 어플 추천해요. 무료 어플인데 괜찮아요.

### 5/5 — Life-changer

*2026-07-30, version 2.0.5*

This app has helped me immensely. I love the added features that make it stronger/more adaptable than Screen Time. I have been using it for just under a month and my doomscrolling is less than half of what it was before.

### 5/5 — I really like this app

*2026-07-30, version 2.0.5*

I have been very satisfied since I started using this app to lock my mobile apps and I have been able to manage my time a lot with this app.

### 2/5 — Updates for Mac are needed

*2026-07-28, version 1.0.20*

I know you’re a small team, but you really have to prioritise the Mac app at some point. It is so far behind the curve I have had to switch over to Cold Turkey on my computer because I can easily circumvent Jomo and there are many many bugs in this app.

### 5/5 — 12/10

*2026-07-27, version 2.0.5*

This app gave me back free time I didn’t know id had, i haven’t been able to crack my phone addiction in YEARS! tryed every app, hack, and advice but jomo is what did it!!!! I literally cant recommend this app enough!

### 5/5 — Just What I’m looking for

*2026-07-26, version 2.0.5*

Jomo has everything I was looking for to help me with my phone usage. I also like that it’s good on battery. This app is a keeper!

### 3/5 — My review

*2026-07-25, version 2.0.5*

It just really didn’t help me and it was so confusing to figure out

### 2.0.2 — 2026-06-18

◆ WELCOME TO JOMO 2.0 ◆

For the past 6 months, we weren’t off enjoying the sun... We were behind the scenes, working on this brand-new version of Jomo, and we’re really excited to finally share it with you.

There are a lot of new features... but even more improvements. Let’s start with what’s new!

◆ SAY HI TO LOCKS ◆

Limiting your use of an app used to be... confusing. A limit? A session? Use with intention... what?

We’ve simplified everything with Locks.

How it works: block an app continuously, choose how many times per day you want to use it, and optionally choose which exercise you need to complete before unlocking it. That’s it. Simpler. Clearer.

To create your first Lock: tap Start Blocking ▸ Add a lock.

◆ TURN YOUR HABITS INTO SCREEN TIME ◆

What if completing your to-do list could unlock... screen time? That would be awesome... wait... is that possible? YESSSS! With Routines, you can complete one or more habits to unlock apps, or even earn time progressively.

Yes, really. Make your bed or do the dishes → earn 15 minutes on Instagram. Go for a 4 km run → unlock Netflix for the evening. Our system is flexible: it adapts to your motivation and how strict you want to be.

To create your first Routine: tap Start Blocking ▸ Complete habits. Once a habit is validated, you can instantly redeem your earned time.

◆ A BRAND NEW HOME ◆

We did a proper spring clean to make the Home tab clearer, smoother, and way more enjoyable to use.

We also redesigned the budget view with a simple progress bar. Stay in the green, stay on track.

You can now access your weekly report directly from the Home tab. Tap Today to switch from day view to week view.

◆ STRICT MODE, SIMPLIFIED ◆

Block everything, right now, in Strict Mode... wait, what did I just do?

We’ve made Strict Mode much easier to understand and use. By default, you now lock your rules for a few days. Want more days? Tap +. Want fewer? Tap −.

◆ A REFRESHED PROFILE ◆

The Profile tab... we’ve been rethinking it for over a year. Yes. A full year trying to figure out what actually motivates you. We rebuilt it from the ground up to make it cleaner and more useful.

You can now track your progress more easily, with less clutter. Your Jomo days and best streak are front and center.

◆ BUG FIXES ◆

We also fixed a ton of bugs, from the really annoying ones to the... slightly less annoying ones. Huge thanks to our community. Every bug report matters. Nothing gets ignored: everything is logged and fixed when we can.

We notably improved the reliability of time limits and rules, as well as the display of screen time reports.

〜〜〜

Here we are.

When we launched Jomo in 2022, we made you a promise: to build a truly great screen time app.

What we build at Jomo is meant to genuinely help you. And for that, we simply want to say thank you... truly. None of this would exist without you and your support. Every piece of feedback, every review, every subscription means a lot to us and helps keep Jomo alive.

We hope we can give that back to you tenfold.

As always, take care of yourself, both mentally and physically. Scroll less, and more intentionally. More than ever, don’t be afraid to embrace JOMO!

With love,
Laureline & Thomas
