### 5/5 — Excellent App

*2026-03-17*

I’ve been spending the past few months trying to find the best screen time app, and I’ve finally found the one. Of the over 10 apps I’ve downloaded, Moshen is the most effective. My phone addiction has gone down, I’m exercising more, and it is all because of Moshen.

### 5/5 — It works…when it works.

*2026-02-09*

I love the idea of this app. And for awhile, things went swimmingly. My screen time went down drastically, which was my goal. But a good handful of times (especially after the newest update), I go to redeem my time, but my apps don’t unlock. So I have to delete the app for the time that I had accrued, then redownload the app and start over. I’ve probably done this 5x since the newest update. 

Edit: After some back & forth with the developer, they recommended a few different fixes for me. They were kind, patient, and professional. Even with the app’s glitches, because of the customer service I received, I upped my rating for this app.

**Developer response:** Hi! Thank you for the feedback. Unfortunately, what you are experiencing seems to be a glitch caused by the Apple Screen Time API (something that we can't control), and it usually happens with older iPhone models. If you would like, please send us an email at joshua.moshes@moshen.app with your iPhone model and any other details about when this problem comes up.
Thank you,
Moshen Team

You get what you paid for with a free service like this.

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2025-09-20*

This app helped me get offline and start living my life. I highly recommend! :)

### 5/5 — Great way to digital detox

*2025-09-02*

I've been wanting to cut down on Youtube shorts, so I downloaded this app not expecting much. I think the fact that it encourages walking more is a great benefit to my mental and physical health.  

When I earned minutes to watch youtube by jogging, it felt rewarding to spend them by watching more meaningful content.

Pretty UI, Also, I appreciate how minimal the ads are.

### 5/5 — Moshen - total game changer!

*2025-08-17*

Moshen kills two birds with one stone - forces me to walk more and I spend less time on social media. Total game changer!

### 5/5 — Awesome screen blocker

*2025-08-17*

I’ve gone through all of the most popular screen time control apps like opal and this is so much better

I love that I can unlock screen time by exercising which really motivates me to take a morning walk every day before work

### 4/5 — Cool idea! A few personal tweaks…

*2025-08-17*

Really like the concept! Took me a while though to really know how to navigate the interface, particularly when it came to adding earned screen time. I think a stronger tutorial/guide would be ideal, Perhaps I missed it, but I more so only see the time I’ve earned too, and would really like a timer that shows you how much earned time you’ve got left. My greatest gripe though is the inability to convert added time into the storage. I’d accidentally misclicked and turned a whole 1.5 hrs of earned time into screen time, when I actually wanted to store it. Midnight struck about twenty minutes later, and so I just had to watch all those minutes go down the drain. Having an option to still convert unused time to storage would be great; rather than it being a one and done action. Overall though, cool concept and want to see more!

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for the positive review and feedback!

We’re glad you like the concept and we really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. We are definitely going to add a tutorial to help navigate new users through all the features - that’s a great idea!

Regarding your other point about wanting to see remaining time and converting it back to storage, unfortunately this isn’t possible because of how little information Apple provides developers for privacy reasons.
However, we are currently building a feature to automatically convert at the end of the day any unused time (that was still available to add to storage/screen time).
