Eye Opener

This app will HUMBLE you in how much time you spend and waste on social media and other places. While Apple Glass does make it harder, they pull off the minimalist look very well.

Great app

Thanks

Didn’t work

Doesn’t do what it is advertised as doing. I bought it for its advertised ability to hide distracting apps behind a minimalistic front/home screen unless I overrode it when needed. Instead, I had to go into the app and set timers for when I couldn’t see the apps and it wouldn’t let me override that until I went into the app on my home screen and selected a length of time, which didn’t work several times and delayed me when trying to do critical work. That meant that the apps weren’t hidden to avoid temptation (as advertised) and the home screen didn’t look minimalistic (as in your name) and the override functionality (as advertised) failed. Please refund my money.

Ready to delete

I mean, it will definitely help you use less screen time however I’m not able to get into apps I need now and I have no idea how to change the settings.

It’s just okay and kinda glitchy

App works as advertised. Keeps you focused however it’s extremely bug prone and setting to adjust after initial setup are very unclear. When you look for apps in your phone after you install this half the time they don’t appear at all so you can’t find them. Other times when you click on an app to to open through the focus menu. It doesn’t even open cause if you to have to completely reconfigure the setting just to open an app one time. It’s not very user-friendly. But I will admit through how much of a pain in the butt it is to open simple apps it keeps you away from your phone.
