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.

This is the most requested thing we get, and you've explained exactly why: the social category drags Messages and FaceTime in with it, so you're hand-picking every morning. That's a chore we created. Individual app selection is what we're building next. Thanks for spelling out the specific case, it's more useful than a general request.

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.

This was a real bug. The unlock timer was expiring early and then failing to release the block at all, which is about the worst way it could break for someone paying for it. It's fixed in the current version. Unlock windows now run the full time you set and release properly at the end. If it's still doing it after you update, email pete@movetoscroll.com and I'll sort out your subscription as well.

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

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.

Hi! I'm sorry about this, we do all of our billing via Apple and the prices cannot be changed by us, nor can we grant the refund, however you can request it via Apple. Just to clarify, as Apple handles all of our billing we cannot purposefully overcharge you, however we will work to make the selected plan clearer to avoid any confusion

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.

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

Hi Stawrp! We're sorry to hear this. Please can you email us as we'd like to investigate this issue and make sure it's solved! Thank you for the recommendation on the different goals for different apps!

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!!!!!!!!

Hi Jojo! Please feel free to email us and we'll help you fix this asap! You should only be unable to delete apps when "hard mode" is engaged in your settings, however if you need a workaround, you can go into your settings, and disable screen time controls for our application and you'll be able to bypass it and delete. No need for a full reset!

Waste of money

Doesn’t keep track of steps on a treadmill waste of money don’t buy app

I LOVE THE APP

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.

Hi! thank you for raising this issue, we have issued a fix for this! If you update to the latest version of the application your issue will be resolved.

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.

The one app that helped me

Social media has taken over my life and my time. This is the one app that helped me get my time back AND helped me to get more steps in every day!! I tried using Screen Time and App limits but I would just snooze them 15 min at a time. With “move to scroll” I am actually blocked until I hit a certain # of steps. Thank you to the app creators!!

The bit about snoozing Apple's limits 15 minutes at a time is the whole reason this app exists. There's no snooze button here, and that turns out to be the difference. Really glad it's working for you.
