I love it

I had a phase where I was overthinking so far I had panic attacks and thought I had to control everything also due to social media because there is also a lot talking about nervous system and so on and also tried to control this even tho I didn’t have to, monkeyless helped me to be calm even in stressful situations, now I feel more relaxed and don’t have panic attacks anymore( maybe very rare but these are mini anxiety attacks but nothing more and it’s getting better) thank you a lot monkeyless!

Awful!!

You have to pay to even use the app, waste of time setting it all up. No free features

Hey, I'm sorry for your unpleasant experience. The app contains premium features that can be unlocked by either inviting friends or starting a free trial.

Don’t work

I think this in amazing idea although it costs to much money and it only stops you for a lil amount of time so I can continue doom scroling, in conclusion good idea but done wrong plus it costs to much for doing nothing

Fix the hashtags🙏💋

Hey, I'm sorry for your unpleasant experience. The app forces you to meditate everyday and gives breathing prompts during scrolling. What more features would you like to see?

RELAXING

at first I was lowkey annoyed but I think it’s really been helping me be mindful in what I’m doing and not mindlessly scrolling on my phone for hours.

Hey Aubs, thank you for the positive review. We put a lot of effort into our meditations 💗 Keep going!

Bug?

I dont exactly know if this is a bug or not, but the app will not track my screen time at all. I’ve checked everything multiple times, every setting is correct, and yet it still wont track it. Genuinely what is the point of the app, if it wont do what I got it for. It may just be a personal experience, but only god knows.

Dear Dylan, We are sorry for the inconvenience. Sometimes Apple has problems with their Screen Time tracking. This is out of our control, but usually solvable. Please see https://www.monkeyless.app/faq under "App Blocking does not work" and follow the steps, or e-mail us at support@monkeyless.app where we respond within 48 hours. If you do, please e-mail us your device model so we can help you out further. -Team Monkeyless

Hey! We have given away more than 2000 free access codes. You can send an e-mail to students@monkeyless.app if you're eligible for our free access programme for students only. I'm glad you like the premise of the app and the only reason we ask for money is because we use it to keep the app running.

I paid for the premium

Been using this since november, it works great. I just wish the yearly was less expensive and I’d be able to keep it longer than my subscription I had to cancel, great app!

This app is great

This app truly is one of the best apps I have downloaded when you download it you can see the amount of effort the makers of this app have put in. I recommend this app to anyone with sever phone usage issues or anyone in general.👍🏻

Thank you Tashi. Let's end phone addiction forever. 🧡

Brilliant

This app actually fixes what all of the other ones promise. Brick, dumb-phones, Opal, they just prevent you from living your addiction out. They dont stop the addiction at its root, and improve your life. This does. Phenomenal design and extremely cheap compared to the value youre getting. So excited to see this thing grow

Useful App, Some Difficulties

This app really helps me crack down on my screen time. I am glad I subscribed. That said, there were multiple instances where I wanted to turn of the soft-block on an app and it legitimately didn't work. I had to uninstall the app to unfreeze a lot of apps and, since it forces you to a payment page when you download, I get to hope I don't get double charged. Good app with room to improve.

One of the best apps so far

The app is really cheap compared to other ones, and it really helps you reduce screen time by metidating and it kicks you out of the apps you want after a little time. My screen time droped when i started using this app.

Amazing App Amazing Support

I’m a student and my screen time is one of my greatest weaknesses, this app has helped me reduce some of the anxiety I have around my screen time. I especially love the guided meditations as someone who’s heard of the wonders of meditation, I’m glad this app finally got me started. After reaching out for a free trial for students, a developer of this app offered me a refund of my original purchase, offered me a free trial, and consistently made sure I was supported via emails. Haven’t had customer support this great ever, thank you so much sincerely to the Monkeyless team for caring about their users <3

Thank you so much! No useless features, just ending phone addiction forever. 🧡

drives me nuts but REALLY works

as someone who is super phone-addicted but also obsessed with productivity hacks, I have tried everything under the sun (including brick device and lockbox with timer, lol). but my monkey brain always finds ways to bypass each barrier, and those workarounds quickly become muscle memory.

so far this app stands out for a few reasons:
1) it doesn’t allow blanket break times - each blocked app needs to be unlocked individually. this is usually annoying enough to dissuade me from trying, which stops the ~drift~ into other forms of time-wasting.
2) unlock screen reminds you of all the different reasons you actually DONT want/need your phone, which often humbles me into putting it back down.
3) tying unlocks to a daily meditation is actually genius, and may be the first thing to actually keep me building a consistent habit.

I will say the design/UI are pretty basic - doesn’t feel as polished as other similar apps I’ve used. but 10 STARS for the functionality and underlying idea. I honestly think society could be healed by installing it on every phone. THANK YOU to whoever dreamed this up!!

AMAZING

The monkey addition is really cool and fun and it really locks you down on your screen time! Sad that I would have to pay but they gotta make money somehow 🤷🏻. All love it’s amazing! 🫶❤️

Hey! Because of your review, we have decided to open up much more of the app in the free version. In the next update, all meditation modules, daily meditation and the whole library will be unlocked for free. Indeed, the price tag is to keep the app running. But money is not everything, we're trying our best to balance it out. Thanks for your kind comment.

best app FOR REAL

okay so i’m a HUGE phone addict, and if i did this, you can also. this app is insane. i reduced my screen time 9 hours to 2 hours within days. my life is way more fun and peaceful now after putting my phone down on useless things. instead i meditate, listen to music, and learn. this app also made me learn how to focus. it’s absolutely mind changing.
