Exactly what I need: external support
I’ve tried to write a longer, fancier, nicer, more detailed review of Jomo but my app always kicks me out or something before I can hit send. In a nutshell: the whole point of this app that makes it work so well is we as individuals can’t easily fight against a bunch of wealthy companies’ algorithms designed to grab and hold our attention. Willpower didn’t stop my phone addiction; I needed external support. This app does it almost perfectly. Sounds like I’m getting paid for this review, but yes I do actually recommend other people download it — unpopular opinion but everyone of every age will live a better life if we stop doomscrolling and avoiding people.

The most intuitive app blocker
I never write reviews but this is one of the most important apps in my life!
The way they’ve designed options on how to block your apps & schedules is very intuitive. It just makes sense and is a joy to use. Has all the features you’d want and expect and allows the perfect level of control over your digital life.
Highly recommend!!

Life changing app for me
As someone who procrastinates a lot this app actually has finally helped. It forces you to stop using your phone which i’ve loved.
Recommend it guys!

Полный доступ платный
В бесплатном позволяет заблокировать только одно приложение и/или создать одно правило блокировки
Opal или ScreenZen для меня лучше, тот же самый функционал, но позволяют блокировать сколько угодно приложений бесплатно

Will not let you edit
Sometimes I need to add more time to the app that I block, and it simply will not let me. I don’t have it programmed to not let me. It is a glitch. 90% of the time I do not have a need to add more time but occasionally something comes up and it’s really frustrating that I can’t easily just add five more minutes when that happens. Feeling like an app is controlling me is the exact thing I’m trying to get away from.

Set your rules and get your time back!
Love the app, feel it’s very detailed oriented but user friendly as well. Much simpler than Opal and far cheaper as well. I like how I can see my exact screen time on each app and build rules and pattern interrupts for those particular vices. Also really like the habit builder as I have to go for a walk every morning before I get stuck using my phone.

JOMO, meilleur application à vie
Sérieusement, mon temps d’écran a diminué en si peu de temps grâce à cette application, passer de 7 h à 2 h en si peu de temps c’est incroyable je me sens revivre!!!!!
As an IG addicted 21 year old…
I love this app. I was using a free trial from Opal, but the $99.99 yearly price tag was a little out of my student budget.
I was also on Instagram for 5-6 hours A DAY… Safe to say I’m a recovering social media addict.
Then I scanned a screen time blocker sub-Reddit and was intrigued by Jomo (especially seeing it’s independently run and woman co-owned). It has a ton of features like continuous app blocking, screen time intention setting, routine building, and more. I can honestly see how the settings could be customized for any routine or lifestyle.
Plus it’s only $29.99 a year compared to $99.99, and mine was only $14.99 with their student discount.
Disclaimer: I’m not a longtime user, only 3 days so far, but I can say that I’ve seen an improvement in my reading time and my presence in conversations, both of which are important in my life.
If you’re on the fence, I’d say just get Jomo. Even if you’re not a fan of every single feature, it’ll help you take some of your time back 🫂💕

Best screen time app
Tried all other screen time apps, this one the best by far. Has granular controls for rules so I can customize to fit my needs. Great UX and reasonable price !
Great but UI a bit complicated
Took me a while to figure out the UI. I think they should make it easier to activate or deactivate a rule based on your location.
New update
The new habits is horrible
Wonderful!
I’ve been using the template called “Brick Phone Mode” to reduce my excessive phone use and I love it. I also love using the app locks feature to lock shopping apps since I have a serious impulse spending problem. Overall I would say the $29.99/yr fee is well worth it and the price is much more reasonable compared to Opal’s $99.00/yr fee. I love that this app has features that add friction to make you think if you really want to access a specific shopping site or not. I am very pleased with my experience so far!

Normally Great
Got the update today and the redeem function for earning time isn’t working for me. It still wont allow me to open up the apps which sucks.
Does not sync with the ap
You have to continuously create the same rules and blocks time and time again, nothing syncs. This should be so basic
Life-changing app
Started using JOMO over 2.5 years ago and it has changed my relationship with my phone and social media as a whole. I pay for the annual Memebership and I truly believe it is so worth it year after year espically as someone working SMM ; being intentional with my user experience is so important me! If you’re on the market for an incredible app to block apps, JOMO is that GIRL 🥹🤍

Best app for ADHD

Onboarding
Was für ein blödes Onboarding. Viele Sinnlose Fragen beantworten. Text der Langsam erscheint, ein ein Fake Fortschritssbalken. Da musste ich mich erst ewig duchklicken, bis ich endlich mal die App Testen konnte.
Response from developer
Es tut uns leid, wenn der Einrichtungsprozess etwas mühsam für Sie gewirkt hat! Wir versuchen, jede Frage so nützlich wie möglich zu gestalten. Die meisten davon dienen dazu, Jomo für Sie einzurichten und Ihnen einen guten Start zu ermöglichen. Was die schrittweise eingeblendeten Texte betrifft: Das ist eine bewusste Entscheidung unsererseits. Wir möchten, dass sich die Nutzer die Zeit nehmen, die einzelnen Schritte zu lesen und zu verstehen. Da Jomo eine App ist, die andere Apps auf Ihrem Smartphone blockieren kann, halten wir es für wichtig, dass Nutzer genau verstehen, welche Auswirkungen die von ihnen eingerichteten Regeln haben werden. Gleichzeitig kann ich gut nachvollziehen, dass sich dieser Prozess etwas langsam anfühlen kann, wenn man bereits genau weiß, was man mit der App erreichen möchte. Sie können Ihre Bewertung gerne aktualisieren, falls diese Antwort hilfreich war. – Laureline
Jomo 2.0.0 👑
In this day and age, I've come to realize that my priorities are to not sell my free time and attention anymore on internet junkfood and to spend more time with the people I cherish and on things that really matter. Jomo is the stake that frees you from the fangs of these vampiric entertainment and social media companies. Thank you Laureline & Thomas, keep it up as its very admirable work you’re doing! ^^
You’ve quite frankly changed and saved my life in a huge way! Xoxo

Great app
I’m trying out this app rn and it works great! Much better than the other options, especially with the strict mode. There is one issue I found though. It’s really easy to bypass. All you have to do is go into settings and remove the screen time permission from it. Though I’m not sure if that’s possible to fix. Lovely app though, maybe I’ll just block the settings app lol

O app é útil, mas poderia melhorar a experiência de uso
Uma coisa que me incomoda muito é que não dá pra desativar uma regra na versão grátis, tem que excluir. Tenho fases que preciso mais do auxilio do app pra passar menos tempo no celular, então em alguns momentos eu excluo uma regra e depois ativo novamente. Isso não seria um problema se o app não mudasse tanto de interface. A cada atualização parece que estou usando um app totalmente novo e tenho que aprender novamente como usar, como adicionar uma regra… Até onde percebi, essas mudanças são principalmente de interface e fluxos e não tem grandes ganhos de funcionalidade. Poderia melhorar na experiência do usuário e evitar mudanças tão grandes e frequentes na interface e no fluxo de uso, que a meu ver são desnecessárias.
