Simple, effective, and keeps me focused! ### 5/5 — Great alternative to Blank Space *2024-09-18, version 1.1* The app is completely free and I highly recommend it for anyone looking for Blank Space Launcher alternatives. The quality is really good, some other Indie developers have made apps with slightly better UIs but considering this one’s utility and free cost, it’s the best. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Worthless doesn’t work *2024-12-17* 0/10 ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2024-11-14, version 1.3.1* It simply doesn’t work, has a lot of bugs on my iPhone 13. I wrote them a mail for help and they haven’t answered in days. I’ll switch to Dumbify ### 1/5 — Are you kidding me? Where are all my apps? *2024-09-14* After trying out 3 other minimalist launcher apps, I decided to see if this one was any better. Worst of them all! “Pick your favorite apps from the list below” Uh, you mean I can only select from the BASIC, STOCK apple apps??!? Seriously?? How about Things 3? Or Paprika Recipe Manager? Or MinimaList?? No? This limitation makes this app completely useless. Not sure why this developer released this, as it acts like it’s still in Beta. Never deleted an app so fast! ### 2/5 — I cant select apps *2024-12-05, version 1.3.2* Not apps in the apps select screen ### 2/5 — It’s not as bad as the other comment made it seem *2024-09-19* Hi! I don’t typically write reviews but thought I should since the only one that’s published is a dumpster fire. Despite the former reviewers confusing takeaway, they did have a few points. The app feels underdeveloped and rushed. Here’s what I mean: - When you open it up, you’re greeted by an exact replica of Minimalist Launcher. But, let’s be honest, true originality doesn’t exist in design. I was willing to push through. - None of the wallpapers are solid or minimal. They’re all AI-generated depictions of nature. Which is annoying for two reasons: 1) I’m an artist who’d rather put my dominant arm through a meat grinder than look at a blurry, incoherent photograph generated by a robot, and 2) my friend, I’m looking for a minimalist launcher to remove distractions, not add more noise. Where are the solid black and white backgrounds? Why do you have random swatches of wallpapers you don’t offer? - Additionally, the app icons are still here? Not all of them, but when you select an app for your Home Screen, the name and icon are posted. Which is an eyesore, to say the least. In conclusion, here are my takeaways: This is an app generated either entirely or mostly by AI. It doesn’t demonstrate an appropriate understanding of minimalism as a whole. And there doesn’t seem to be a lick of originality or design prowess anywhere. I would recommend the developer revisit their approach, maybe do some hands on research into their competitors (download other apps and test them out for a week or so, then come back to the drawing board). I do like that they don’t take or keep your data (allegedly) but few of the other minimalist launchers do this, so it’s more of a standard than a bonus. And please, please, pleeeaaassseee don’t ask AI to do it for you. Try Fivrr or Upwork or anything else really. ### 3/5 — Limited apps *2024-09-28* I was only able to add Instagram and YouTube to the widget but not discord and roblox. Would love if it was able to add these apps to the widget ### 4/5 — Nice kept up *2024-11-22, version 1.3.1* Nice but add some more own wallpapers and more coustamisation ### 5/5 — Minimalist phone *2025-11-27* Easy to use , realy good app, tanks devloper ### 5/5 — Dumb phone minimalist *2025-02-18* It’s good one shortly I find and mange my every day uses app ### 5/5 — Focus Has Improved *2025-02-14, version 1.4.11* I always had a hard time focusing because of all the distractions on my screen. I downloaded Minimalist Phone to help curb that, and it worked like a charm. With fewer apps to choose from, I can spend more time being productive rather than getting sidetracked by all the flashy icons. It's a solid app for anyone looking to declutter their digital life. ## Most praised reviews (7 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Cutting Down on Distractions *2025-02-11* I’m really impressed with Minimalist Phone! In a world full of apps fighting for my attention, this launcher stepped in and changed everything. Other productivity apps can get too complex and stressful, but this one doesn’t. It’s straightforward, allows me to keep just what I need, and helps me avoid distractions. My home screen looks clean, and I’ve started enjoying my phone again rather than just zoning out! ### 5/5 — Finally a Simple Solution *2025-02-11* I've tried a ton of launcher apps but Minimalist Phone: Dumb Mode truly stands out. Unlike other complex launchers that come with a thousand features I never use, this app gets straight to the point: it gives me access to just the essentials. My brain feels so much lighter without those countless icons staring back at me. It's refreshing to have a clutter-free home screen! ### 5/5 — Less Clutter, More Productivity *2025-02-11* I've used various productivity apps before, but this one is different. Minimalist Phone really allows me to focus on the important stuff without all the distractions. Other apps often bombard me with notifications and options, but here, it’s just what I need. My scrolling habits have definitely decreased and I’ve started using my phone for more productive things instead of aimlessly browsing. ### 5/5 — Simplicity Done Right *2025-02-11* I've experimented with different launchers over the years, but none have been as effective as Minimalist Phone: Dumb Mode. This app doesn’t overwhelm me with options, whereas I’ve found others just pile on features that I don’t need. It’s all about minimizing distractions which has significantly lowered my screen time. Easy to set up and use, I highly recommend it to anyone looking to simplify their phone! ### 5/5 — Say Goodbye to Mindless Scrolling *2025-02-11, version 1.4.11* Before this app, I found myself mindlessly scrolling for hours. I've tried other minimalist apps, but they either skimped on functionality or hit you with ads every five seconds. This app, however, is as straightforward as they come. It actually helps me curb my impulsive app-opening habits, and I genuinely use my phone much less now! ### 5/5 — Useful and helpful App *2025-01-21* One can minimize the unnecessary daily usage of mobile through this App’s efficient and effective features ### 5/5 — Minimalist Launchers often consume less memory and *2025-01-20* Only essential apps or widgets are displayed, Users can prioritize specific functions like productivity or mindfulness,Helps reduce screen time and avoid unnecessary app usage. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
