There are just a few drawbacks. Navigation and scrolling feel choppy rather than smooth, which makes the app a bit inconvenient to use. The biggest issue is the message input field: every time I start a new message, the last word of my previous message is automatically added to it. It happens every single time, and it’s really frustrating. Since I paid for this app, these issues are a little disappointing. I’d really appreciate it if you could fix them. Also, thank you for creating an Instagram DM feature without Reels!😁 ### 4/5 — it was a *2026-10-10* great experience, but it would be much better with story posting feature if it is possible **Developer response:** Hi, we just added that feature! Take a look! ### 4/5 — I understand why its a paid service 🤷🏻‍♀️ *2026-10-10* Sooo many reviews complaining that this is a paid service, mind you its literally just some hs dude making all of this in his spare time like cmon.. A feature id hopefully like to see in the future is being able to send videos, calling and putting music on my notes. Gotta be moody on main somehow. ### 4/5 — Works sorta well *2026-10-08* Simply try the konvo membership free trial, I was very pleased by my results of not scrolling. My main use of Instagram was to text certain people and it worked very well at that besides the fact that you cannot see pictures that are not saved in chat or call. Other than that it is very laggy, for some reason for me it did not block Instagram off my phone even when I tried multiple times so I had to hide and put a passcode on Instagram to limit myself instead, but overall a fantastic app. I would highly recommend in anybody’s journey to be less distracted by fake dopamine and to have a more meaningful purposeful life and not spend 10 years of your life scrolling. ### 2/5 — Un plan gratuit ou une appli fluide *2026-10-06* C’est bien sympa de faire une appli payante mais payer pour une appli c’est avoir aucun reproche à lui faire. Dans le cas présent l’appli n’est pas fluide et n’as pas de plan gratuit. Je vous encourage dans ce projet bien que je le trouve pour le moment bancale. Je comprends pas l’intérêt de nous envoyer une notif inutile quand on va dans Instagram pour aller sur votre app alors qu’on pourrait directement être renvoyer dans Konvo avec une api iOS. ### 4/5 — Filtering unread *2026-10-01* So far seems like a good phase one of the app, if you can add the filtering for unread and unanswered messages like you can on Instagram, then this is a five star app and you've got yourself a new subscriber. ### 2/5 — Payed subscription, really? *2026-09-28* I was so ready to finally get my screen time down when I got hit with a “start your 7 day free trial,”. All I can say is I’m disappointed. Why don’t you make something that genuinely helps people without payment? Why do people always look for profit. ### 3/5 — Bonne appli mais des bugs *2026-09-28* Très bonne idée mais l’appli est encore buguée **Developer response:** Message me on @matthewasherelol and I’ll get them fixed :) ### 3/5 — you have to pay to use the app *2026-09-28* a free version would be great ### 1/5 — Totally paid service *2026-09-28* It's totally a paid app, Not a single free service here and after the login it shows the paid plainng. Without a single dollar u can't use this app. 👎 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Payant *2026-10-12* Pourrais au moins prévenir que c’est payant avant de se connecter. Bref je vous conseille de passer le chemin ### 1/5 — too expensive *2026-10-12* why is there no free version ### 1/5 — App derrière un paywall *2026-10-04* Sérieux rendez l’app payantes directement plutôt que de nous faites perdre nôtres temps à nous connecter sur notre compte Instagram pour ensuite nous forcer à payer sans possibilité d’utiliser l’application gratuitement ### 1/5 — Paid and no option to logout *2026-10-03* This is pathetic to not provide an option to logout ### 1/5 — Expensive *2026-10-02* Was advertised as a free app. Then you login, waste time on the settings just to see in the last moment thats its 8€ per month ### 1/5 — Why must we pay? Don’t waste your money *2026-10-02* Why make an app that could help everyone but you have to pay. You can’t do anything without paying, unbelievable!!! ### 1/5 — Like the other said- GARBAGE *2026-10-01* It's simply a meta app with a great use case for people avoiding doomscrolling. But seriously??? Subscription for it? Add ads if ur broke. Or atleast mention it in ur Instagram account ### 1/5 — Most garbage app *2026-09-29* If you wanna do a good thing to the public may as well keep the app for free, you got to pay to use should have said that on your Instagram advertisement ### 1/5 — paywall *2026-09-29* its been a day im trying to use the app but everything is paywalled, just make it paid in the appstore atp ### 1/5 — Subscription just to remove basic features? *2026-09-28* This should be a basic screen-time feature, not something locked behind a subscription. I’d understand paying for premium features, but charging just to remove a distracting feature feels unnecessary and frustrating. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-10-02* Haven’t scrolled reels in a few days now thanks you ### 5/5 — Life changer *2026-10-02* Before konvo i was struggling with my phone addiction. After, I barely even check my phone now it’s great! ### 5/5 — Cool app *2026-10-01* Its a really cool app i feel like a completely new person its like im reborn cus im so locked in. I am on a 67 day streak without scrolling reels yay ### 5/5 — Worth The Money *2026-09-30* People are complaining about how it’s a paid service. The dev for this app is a teenager and is spending hours of his free time making an app for a genuinely good purpose. I love this app because it’s exactly what I’ve been looking for. And if you get the yearly subscription, it’s on 25 dollars a year. People are willing to pay 100 dollars a year for a streaming service, so I think cutting down your screen time and stopping doomscrolling while still being able to connect with your friends is worth the price **Developer response:** This!! Thank you for your review. I’m glad you love it! Its true, I spent over 100 hours building this product, it wasn’t easy!! ### 5/5 — Great *2026-09-30* -It doesn’t change the Instagram page directly -It costs <$30 per year (cheapest plan) -The logo design could be a bit different IMO I always wanted to remove only the reels tab from IG because I need to text my friends, but the reels are very addicting. This is a dream come true. And honestly, less than $30 for a year is really cheap. Surprisingly to my expectations, the pages are well made professionally. The only gripe I have is that I can’t copy the password or slide through the text box using the spacebar in my phone. ### 5/5 — I love the idea *2026-09-28* Great idea dude, keep going ### 5/5 — Konvo dead cured my doomscrolling *2026-09-06* This master piece of an app dead cured me. Before this I was on insta for over 5hrs a day but after installing the app and deleting insta it broke the habit of going to doom scroll my screen time is at 2hrs now. -Isaac ### 5/5 — Life changer *2026-09-02* I had trouble with the scrolling part of Instagram back then, but convo completely solved that within a day! ### 5/5 — Best. App. Ever! 🤩🤩😍😍🙏 *2026-09-01* Honestly, this app changed my life. From the way that I wake up, the way that I work, the way that I eat, the whole shabang. Mattias truly put a lot of care into this app, and it shows with the results. I used to be a Chud. A fat Chud. But after using this app, I transformed. I feel more productive, consistent and happy everyday. Everyone, I truly recommend this app from the bottom of my heart. Gerbert out. ✌️ ### 5/5 — My opinion *2026-09-01* Konvo cured my instagram doomscroll addiction by quite a much, i lowk feel my attention span climbing its way back up --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
