Removed friends
New update removed friends. I have a dozen friends who have downloaded this app to reduce screen time and now opal got rid of the feature. Their website says they will bring it back eventually but if you’re bringing new users to your app via referral codes and accountability among friends— thats probably not a feature you should get rid of and “bring back eventually”

used to be great, now buggy
this app still works for reducing screen time, but it freezes almost every time I use it. this becomes quite frustrating. i’ve had opal for a little over a year, and it’s gotten worse (especially a few months ago when it got a major update). I hope it will be fixed, because when it worked it indeed worked very well.

Loved this app, not a fan of the update
Hello! I have been using this app to help me with my screen time since junior year of highschool. It’s worked wonders. It’s my freshman year of college and I noticed there was an update and the way it’s works is different now. While some things are nice, like the pomodoro timer, the whole individual app unblocking does not work well. It’s 5 seconds of waiting every time and makes it wayyy easier to unlock apps you’re trying to stay off. This app unfortunately no longer does what it used to for me, hopefully they change it back someday!

Slow, Clunky, Too Many Bugs
Opal recently did a huge app refresh, largely for UI. Since the shift, the overload of unnecessary animations and options slow my phone to a halt when I open the app. It never runs smoothly, animations are constantly skipping and glitching. Now, when I try to reset a daily timer I go through the whole process and it gives me three additional seconds of time on my paused app, rather than 15. It’s infuriating and feels so unnecessary when their previous app ran more smoothly. I’m getting quite sick of it. I’m nearly to the 400 hour gem and I think I’ll get to that and then find a better alternative method for limiting my screen-time.

A godsend but also really laggy
This app has started giving me my life back, only issue is every time I open it it crashes and/or lags like hell. How can I fix this
