Horrible don’t download
I just don’t understand why I have to pay. The point of the app it to get off the phone but why do we have to pay for an app that helps people. Just horrible. Don’t download.
Add New Features
Overall, I like the app. It’s helped some with screen time, and I like that they added the minutes earned feature cuz that keeps me from unblocking all the apps & getting sucked back in. I’d like to suggest an option where we customize a list of apps to block instead of just categories. For example, every day I go into “social” and select individual apps cuz I can’t select the whole category cuz that’d include text & FaceTime. If I can just create a list of the apps I want to stay off of all day, that’d be way more efficient. Also, I’d love an option where the block kicks on automatically at a certain time. I scroll late & wake up & scroll. If my selected apps automatically locked at 6am, then I’d stop wasting my mornings scrolling. Until then, I’ll try discipline to lock my apps before bed.

Bug
The new update doesn’t work. It began with me havinging unlock apps for a set time (ex. 15 mins) and it will lock before that set time (ex. 5 mins). And now it won’t let me unlock my apps at all. Considering I pay for that app I don’t expect things like this to happen. I’m spending money on an application that isn’t working.

Hidden pay to use
Makes you fill out a bunch of questions before asking if you want to pay them monthly or yearly to use their app.
Great idea but
Great idea but you can literally just override it by removing the app you want blocked from the blocked list so it didn’t help me. If I wanted to use the app I could just unblock it in the settings
Response from developer
You were right, and this was the worst hole in the app. Being able to pull an app off the blocked list mid-lock made the whole lock pointless. That's closed now. In the current version the list stays locked once the day starts, until you hit your step goal. No edits, no way out. Sorry it wasted your time the first time round. If you try it again and anything still slips through, email pete@movetoscroll.com and I'll look at it myself.
Overcharged
Signed up for the $14 plan for the month. Was charged $43! Have contacted the developer and Apple and PayPal and I’m expecting a refund. Absolutely disgraceful and false advertising.
Paid Only
Wish there was a free version even to lock one app. Love the idea but who can afford this kind of thing nowadays
Disappointing
You cant even test the app or do anything after answering their questions. It immediately asks for a subscription. You cant see the features, how the apps word or if its even that good.
Pay up front
You download, you pay. You can’t even see the app and it charges you before you even understand if it will be applicable or compatible.
No trials, no anything. I lost interest in this first approach.

Stopped working
Honestly for having to pay this app is super disappointing, it literally stopped working I forgot about the app, no matter how many times I undo the block apps and redo it, it doesn’t work, again for an app that makes you pay to use it I would think they’d have more features as well or different goals you can put for different apps, it’s just not what I thought it would be

DO NOT INSTALL
This app uses Screen Time in a way that can permanently disable app deletion on iPhone. After installing it, my phone stopped allowing apps to be deleted (only “Remove from Home Screen”).
There is no easy fix. Apple’s only solution is a full reset without restoring backups. This is a serious system level issue and users are NOT properly warned. Do not install!!!!!!!!

Waste of money
Doesn’t keep track of steps on a treadmill waste of money don’t buy app
I LOVE THE APP
For me is “killing 2 birds one stone,” I reduce my screen time plus getting my steps
Great idea. Doesn’t work.
It’s so easy to unblock apps that it’s effectively useless.
Inaccurate step count
Great concept, however it fails to record about 10% of my actual steps. My fitness app and my health app are in sync. For some reason, the Move to Scroll app is not in sync with them even though I granted permission during set up. It's frustrating knowing that I've walked 10k steps and my apps still being locked unless I hit 100-200 more. It's not the hugest deal to have to walk more..but that's the entire point of the app.

Just make the app itself cost money
Stop blocking all features behind a paywall. Just make the app cost money to download. It’s very frustrating to download an app and spend time setting it up just to have it be unusable
Apps not blocked
You have to pay to use the app just for it to not work. It doesn’t block my apps.
Updated Review
My first review was in mid-October. As of 10/27, my issues have been resolved. It’s a good app, just not what I was looking for.
Earlier review: I tried this app and realized it wasn’t for me. I cancelled my free trial before the end date but was still charged. Tried to contact Move to Scroll through their website several times but the contact form does not go through.

can’t delete
I now can’t uninstall this stupid app I’m trying to find a way to delete it but it won’t let me I wish I could give a zero out of five but I can’t 🙄
Great in concept
Great in concept, poor in execution. The app doesn’t automatically work, you have to open it first in the morning, and then it’ll begin to block apps. But from what I can tell, if you open something else first, that remains unblocked. So this definitely does not help with mindless scrolling.
Second, the app keeps freezing and requiring a force quit when I try to edit which apps to include.
Had potential, but please please please don’t spend money on it yet.
