Horrible doesnt work

pls dont get

Finally!! I’m saved!

This app does exactly what I need it to in order to curb my addiction to scrolling. I can access the features on Instagram I need to for work: commenting on my posts, finding specific posts or accounts and engaging, and responding to messages. But I’m saved from the deadly feeds. Perfect. I recommend to so many people.

Almost Perfect

It limited almost everything I wanted. Only suggested fix is limiting the suggested posts on IG. I could not get that function to work so I went into Instagram itself and removed it. Other than that I purchased the app after 5 minutes of having it. It’s great!

Has great potential. Just needs more app support

It would be great if apps like Reddit, Facebook, and TikTok were added. Great app :)

A literal godsend

This app is exactly what I have been looking for - it literally gives you access to Instagram and YouTube of the past before reels. This gives you the ability to delete the apps from your phone entirely and still access them without features you don’t want to see like reels, stories or even the home page. Other app blockers never worked for me because you can disable them and still access the apps — this allows you to access a different version of the apps altogether. The moment I downloaded this it was like a weight off my shoulders. If you’re like me and not willing to delete Instagram because of the friendship and messaging aspects but don’t want to be able to access reels, this is the app for you. Please add Facebook as well!!
