very confusing

very confusing app layout for me. app shows me gems or stones or whatever that i don’t care about as well. it’s also not clear what the premium version does

No longer useful, too buggy

This app was great up until mid-2026. Recently introduced updates are incredibly buggy and the new UX is a disaster. App blocking is no longer dependable, stats are inaccurate, and the design is messy. Feels like the developers leaned into AI slop. Very unfortunate. Hate to see a great product fail like this.

New version is a buggy mess

Is this new version Vibe coded? It doesn’t make any sense, the app lags like crazy now, and has many bugs. Kept finding new ones every day. Uninstalled, sad to see such a nose dive in quality.

bom

adicionem a opção de pedir a senha logo quando entra no aplicativo igual era antes e senha mais longa 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Response from developer

Olá, obrigado por nos informar! Por favor, entre em contato com o Suporte no aplicativo para que possamos ajudar mais, navegando até Configurações > Suporte. Lá, você pode inserir sua dúvida e podemos investigar mais a fundo.

Sucks and over priced

To setup it takes you through a million loops before you can set it up. It’s easier to delete the app than to use it. It’s also over priced compared to other brands that do the same thing. It has too many limitations.
