Life changing
Thank you so much to the developers, this app will give you extra years on the things that really matter in life
Tiraram uma opção super importante
Tinham 3 opções. Poder desbloquear de 5 a 15 minutos, poder desbloquear nesse mesmo tempo mas com dificuldade e não conseguir quebrar essa regra. Tiraram a segunda opção, agora ou fica fácil demais para desbloquear ou temos que apagar o app pra conseguir acessar outros apps. Achei péssimo. Além do mais já trocaram a interface toda do aplicativo umas 2x nos últimos 9 meses. Essa nova está terrível.

Olá! Estou aqui para ajudar! Para esclarecer, ainda temos a opção 2 dentro do aplicativo - para acessar e alterar suas Opções de Sala de Espera, siga estas etapas: - Toque na aba "Início" - Toque em "Perfil" (acessível pelo ícone de perfil no canto superior direito) - Toque em "Configurações" (acessível pelo menu suspenso) - Toque em "Sala de Espera" Lá, você pode aumentar sua "Resistência" para que tenha que esperar um tempo crescente entre cada pausa. Caso contrário, há mais informações sobre nossa Sala de Espera aqui: https://help.opalapp.com/article/how-to-choose-your-waiting-room

Response from developer
Hey there, Happy to help. Sorry to hear the app has been confusing for you - if you have specific questions, don't hesitate to contact our Support team by navigating to your Settings > Chat with Support. Otherwise, please note that the free version of Opal gives you access to three recurring Rules (including Schedules, Time Limits, and Open Limits), unlimited access to immediate Sessions and Timers, weekly Focus Reports, and your day of Score. In contrast, Opal Pro grants you access to the following: Unlimited recurring rules Our Allow List feature "No unblocks allowed” and “Disable resets” mode and so you're unable to cancel or take a break Screen time and Focus Score history I hope that helps, Team Opal
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 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

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.
Almost there
Only complaint I have is sometimes the app just decides to block the entire day at midnight, despite me not being on my phone.
Great app
Good app for self control

I used to have the gold penguin but this has helped me get back on track!
Changed
I do really like this app I used to use it all the time and then i stopped for a while, i just opened it again as i felt i needed to start taking breaks again and the layout of the app is so over complicated now it was so much better when it was simple and just did the job
Poor feedback / contact
I actually do appreciate Opal, in general. It’s definitely helped me cut down on screentime. Was disappointed tho, that they’re taking the typical bogus approach to customer service by making themselves as unreachable to customers as possible. All I wanted was to send a quick message to the design team, and got stuck in some loop of community forums. I am not wasting my time on that BS. Seems rather ironic that a company claiming to help keep people off their screens would add layers of app garbage for what could just be a simple contact form— click and send. Disappointing.
And all I had to say, as feedback, was that the backdrop has switched to an ocean scene, but it’s clearly something like AI. The sound doesn’t align with the scene, and it’s clearly a split screen-the same waves mirrored on both sides. Believe me, your customers do spend enough time in nature to know the difference between real ocean and fake. And I will not support AI in any way shape or form, so if this continues, you’ll have lost me.
There’s also no way to mute the fake ocean sounds. If I’m checking my apps in public, I don’t need extra noise. Design a way to permanently mute the sounds in settings. And don’t waste our time with useless customer service blocks. It just tells me you’re eating up over $100 a year without wanting to actually serve your customers.

Amazing.. but..
It’s a very good app and has cut down on my phone screen time, however, the app limit is really irritating. It makes absolutely zero sense why I can’t select more than 49 apps to limit without it saying I’m not able to. Do you guys know how many apps people typically have on their devices? A lot. I want to be able to customize my focuses how I want to without saying I can’t. Please fix this, it’s really starting to annoy me.

Used to work, now just frustrating
This app worked great around 2023-24 but this year (2026) the quality has taken a toll. Now it will either not block at all, or block randomly and then refuse to allow me to unblock it. I’m not sure what changed as it worked perfectly finally before.
Subscription required
A subscription is required to even use the app so after you put in all of your personal information and allow it to track your phone, you don’t even get to use the app without payment
wow
been using for little over a year now and it’s just so embedded into my routine to have my social media shut off for 10 hours a day I forgot I had it. I have it shut off from 10am to 8pm at night I might scroll but it’s not very likely. completely changed my social media habits
They ruined it
Ive started using another app called Freedom now - if you want the old, simple Opal back, I recommend switching to Freedom!!
This app used to be SO simple and easy to use. It was great. Sometime around mid 2026 they changed the entire appearance and functionality of the app and it is ridiculously hard to set up a simple blocking session now. It isn’t even worth the effort to use it anymore. There is way too much going on in the app and too many ways to try to set up a simple timer and none are easy. Nothing is intuitive anymore. They need to return to an easy timer that you can use anytime and that REMEMBERS which apps you had blocked previously.

Great when it Works
I have had opal on my phone for over a year. Lately it started not blocking my apps during the correct time period, it does not block them unless I open the app. It’s frustrating that it is not working appropriately.
payment required
After I noticed it was going to charge me to use this app I attempted to delete it and it said I had to put in a pin. However I never set a pin so It did not allow me to delete the app.
