### 4/5 — Almost Perfect

*2026-04-01*

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!

### 5/5 — Has great potential. Just needs more app support

*2026-03-27*

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

### 5/5 — A literal godsend

*2026-03-03*

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!!

### 5/5 — Great concept and start!

*2026-01-29*

This is Ana amazing app and idea. No scrolling but still being able to access instagram is something I’ve been looking for. The only thing this app lacks is the ability to make decent posts or repost other people’s content, but if this was fixed definitely a 5 star app.

### 5/5 — A great app with a great developer

*2025-09-12*

I have used this app for about a month now, and it is incredible. I rarely purchase apps, and don’t leave reviews, so you know it must be good. 

I had used a different app to help with this concept, but it stopped working so I was looking for an alternative. It’s is very hard to find an app that doesn’t block the app entirely but just the particularly distracting parts. This is a great option for blocking the most distracting parts of two of the most distracting apps. 

Comments about using Instagram on here: This has been the most life changing feature. I used to be addicted to instagram, constantly doomscrolling. I felt unable to get off of it because I liked being connected, especially as a teenager. I also felt connected to the stories feature and therefore felt like I had to use instagram daily to keep up with everything. This app has solved that for me. It’s is the perfect solution so that I can still use the beneficial parts of instagram while not wasting excessive amounts of time.

Comments about using Youtube on here: With youtube I wanted to get away from the algorithmic content and be more intentional with my content consumption. Using this app, I am able to only watch videos I have previously saved, intentionally search up, or come from people I have intentionally subscribed to. This means that I get to keep youtube for all the basic excuses (its informational! its better for my attention span!) while not getting lost in AI algorithms that leave me perpetually adding to a watch later list that I will never  actually watch later. And!! It also acts as an ad blocker, which-as someone who has never previously used one before-is incredible. 

Overall: This app is one of the best things you can do to reclaim your time and make sure you are being intentional with your media consumption. It allows you to use these apps in the ways you need to without getting lost in as much of the distracting aspects. 

While it is not a perfect app, the developer is super active and gets bugs fixed incredibly quickly. This app is one of kind and the absolute best.

**Developer response:** Yayy! Thanks for your review. These reasons are exactly why I built this app (I struggled balancing the same stuff). I'm glad it's working for you, we're always trying to improve!

### 5/5 — Satisfied with Features and Communication

*2025-08-30*

I've been using this app for a while now, and it has everything I'm looking for to block the feed. Today, I had an issue with being asked for another lifetime payment and contacted support through Discord. The team was quick with communication and were able to solve the issue. The app is continually improving with new features being experimented with. It has a trial period, and I highly recommend giving it a try!

**Developer response:** Thank you for reviewing! We're always trying to improve!

### 5/5 — Incredible app

*2025-08-17*

This is what I’ve been looking for for so long. It is truly going to be life changing for so many people, I beg you to not make it paid access at any point. This is easier said than done, but being able to swipe down out of a video and have it go to the corner as a miniature version, still playing, would be extremely helpful. This is the only app I have ever reviewed because it really can be that good with some fleshing out.

**Developer response:** Hey, thanks for your kind words! I plan on keeping it a one-time purchase to support development, but never a subscription (except maybe as a rent-to-own). If you or anyone doesn't have the means for paying for it, DM me, and we can sort it out. I really like the idea of the mini player, and I think it'll be possible with some UI magic. Thanks again for the review, and please let people know about the app!

### 5/5 — Surprised this hasn’t been done sooner.

*2025-03-07*

So many apps just totally block the app you want to use but this one just gets rid of the addicting/unhealthy parts! And it’s totally free? Instant download.
