### 3/5 — Broken

*2026-08-29, version 3.20.7*

To glitchy doesn’t work well

### 5/5 — 意见反馈

*2026-08-10*

很可爱便捷的软件 但是想问下能不能添加个功能：自动记录正向软件使用时长，比如多邻国 不背单词 上网课这类学习软件，目前这种软件在使用过程当中明明是在学习的，但是被记录到屏幕使用时间里面 感觉看起来自己好像玩了好久🥹 我觉得自动记录正向软件使用时长也可以让自己的努力可视化

### 4/5 — Looks Good, worth the price

*2026-07-23, version 3.20.7*

For some reason It can't block Facebook in browser... otherwise everything is great. 
also when I have opened google maps it still counts as screentime maybe you should be able to skip screentimes from total for specific apps

### 3/5 — Tracking is no longer accurate

*2026-07-14*

Offscreen used to be one of the best apps for tracking phone usage. I've been using it for a long time, and it always worked great. But in the recent updates, something changed. Even though i keep the app open all the time, as required, it no longer tracks my screen time or phone pickups accurately, and the notifications have be become unreliable. It's a shame because I really liked this app. I hope these issues get fixed soon.

### 1/5 — Can’t delete?!?!?

*2026-07-05, version 3.20.7*

So, I got this app to limit my screen time and after a while it got annoying. Multiple notifications even if I’m checking messages or emails, completely cut off from anything you accidentally decided to add on the ‘block schedule’, requires a screen time passcode to delete (I don’t know mine), and it’s extremely difficult to navigate the app. Just don’t get this app and try something else. Right idea. Wrong execution.

### 1/5 — Wasted my money

*2026-06-28, version 3.20.7*

Awful app that makes you pay before you can use it. Doesn't have any screentime integration. You can't control the apps it records and it doesn't even give analytics from apps. Totally useless.

### 1/5 — Buggy and glitchy

*2026-06-01, version 3.20.7*

It has become more and more glitchy over time. I might need look for other alternatives

### 4/5 — Focus + screen time

*2026-05-22*

It is useful when you try to manage and monitor focusing time with screen time by the apple watch. I believe using two features together at the same time is more effective.
However I wonder if the developer is currently working on it.
And where should I send feedback my email?

If possible, please add some functions below.

1. Provide watch complication for 
1) Mid size (at middle part) complication of graph style for ’weekly total focus time’ same as screen time. 
2) Small size complication for ‘Daily/weekly/monthly total focus time’
(To be seen on the watch Home Screen)

2. Goal line at ‘focus time’ part for all graph type complications or widgets must be shown.

3. Provide the Home Screen widget of iPhone that is shown ‘monthly focus time’ on monthly calendar type

4. Provide the Home Screen widget of iPhone that is shown ‘monthly screen time’ on monthly calendar type.

(Reason of -1★ : Prolonged lack of development for the program.)

### 5/5 — So helpful!

*2026-05-14, version 3.20.7*

This app has really really helped my social media addiction. 
Love having control over it now. 
I feel much more able to control my attention and less of a constant pull to the infinite scroll. Love!

### 1/5 — Stopped working

*2026-05-09, version 3.20.7*

Can no longer create schedules to block apps
